Changelog

Version 2.0.0.0

  • Updated PrettyConsole to latest version to use higher perf APIs.
  • Moved from using Sharpify.CommandLineInterface to ConsoleAppFramework for better perf and less verbose code.
  • Dropped Sharpify dependency.
  • Many different internals were optimized to provide higher stability and performance.
  • ExecutionMode is no longer used, and the options were unified:
    • To use Sequential mode, simply set -c| --connections to 1.
    • By default Parallel number will be used and connections will be set to the number of requests.
    • To use Limited mode, simply set -c| --connections to the desired value by use the optional parameter.
    • -d| --delay can now be combined with any of the options above, even though at full Parallel it will only delay the results summary.
  • Many outputs are now more consistent and artifact free, including when the output is interrupted (like when press CTRL+C).
  • First-class LLM and AGENTS support:
    • Added cli-schema command prints the usage schema for the app in JSON format.
    • Added --output-format parameter that can be used to change the output from the default plain-text to structured JSON.
    • Added --quiet parameter that can be used to suppress writing progress to stderr (which can glitch if agents merge the streams).
  • --verbose option was removed, the default mode with --quiet achieves a similar functionality.
  • Compilations options were refined to produce a even more purpose fit executable.
    • Smaller output binary size.
    • Shorter startup times.
    • Much less memory allocations and lower GC pressure.
    • De-abstraction of hot-paths should now results in overall performance increase.

Version 1.2.0.0

  • --raw export mode now outputs a special json with debug information for non-successful responses with no content, it contains:
    • Response status code as integer
    • Response headers
    • Response content (if any)

Version 1.1.2.0

  • Fixed parsing exception in cases where response charset contained redundant quotes like \"utf-8\"
  • Added support for AVX512

Version 1.1.1.0

  • Fixed a bug where --raw was not respected in 1 request workflows
  • Content size metrics are no longer IQR filtered, outliers in content size could require manual inspection so alerting for them is a good idea.
  • Implemented much more efficient SIMD optimized implementation for summary calculations

Version 1.1.0.0

  • Export styling was reworked for much prettier ui
  • Optimized interlocking variables to match hardware cache line size and reduce thread contention
  • Optimized tasks creation to increase maximum concurrency level
  • Enhanced styling of verbose progress reporting
  • Stabilized and improved concurrency tracking in the face of exceptions
  • Added --raw option to exports (skips creating a custom html)
    • this option can be combined with --json to format the content as json
    • this option will also change the file extension to json when the flag is used or if it is an exception
  • terms-of-use is now a command, not a flag
  • When -n (amount of requests) is set to 1, verbose output will be enforced for better readability
  • The changelog for the versions will now be the body of each release
  • Updated internals to watch for different values in remote to track updates
    • This means that previous versions will not be able to track (>=1.1.0.0) updates
  • Summary will now filter out latency and size IQR outliers

Version 1.0.7.0

  • Added get-schema command to generate a json schema file
  • Implemented a workaround for calculating the content length of a response when not provider in the response headers - only viable when exporting results
  • Implemented a recursive exception tracking mechanism allow for better error reporting
  • Removed redundant empty lines before summary output in --verbose mode
  • Implemented more efficient locking mechanism for output synchronization

Version 1.0.6.0

  • Updated to .NET 9.0
  • Optimized using new version of PrettyConsole (3.1.0)

Version 1.0.5.0

  • Request duration is was changed to latency, a more important metric to measure
  • Latency is properly measured immediately after response is received, reading the response content is now a separate step - saving resources in the process, especially when --no-export is used
  • Summary was redesigned to be more informative
    • Removed "Summary" header, result looks cleaner now
    • Total throughput measurement was implemented and now is displayed
    • verbose no longer prints used memory, this metric didn't have much to do the purpose of Pulse, and it is also not recorded anymore.
  • A header showing the request method and url is now printed before the pulse starts, makes easier to track that you're executing the right thing, when the URL is hidden in the request file.
  • verbose mode now changes the output format, instead of displaying a dashboard, it prints which request/response is being processed.
  • The progress bar that was used when cross referencing results was removed, now it is replaced by a simpler text output. This is because it produced artifacts with the headers
  • Added --delay parameter to specify the delay between requests in milliseconds (default: 0) - only applicable when execution mode is sequential

Version 1.0.4.0

  • Implemented much better mechanism to keep to track of concurrent connections, as well vastly improved the control and execution model of limited max connections parallel pulse.
  • -b, --batch is not longer a valid parameter, now the parameter is -c (connections) to better reflect the real behavioral effect.
  • Implement better mechanism to keep track of content size, now it should require less resources and be available even when --no-export is used.

Version 1.0.3.0

  • Added -t, --timeout parameter to specify the timeout in milliseconds (default: -1 - infinity)
  • Fixed handling of timeouts as HttpClient hides the exception under TaskCanceledException leading to same output and handling as manual user cancellation, which was incorrect

Version 1.0.2.0

  • Added -o, --output parameter to specify the output folder (default: "results")
  • Updated automations to add ubuntu 20.04 support to address issues with glibc2.31

Version 1.0.1

  • Added check-for-updates command

Version 1.0.0

Initial release
