Release notes

First alternative driver release! Pebble is a LevelDB-style KV store from Cockroach Labs. It's much more simple than BadgerDB, so you're trading performance (that small streamers probably don't need) for a more robust and compact database.

This release also fixes a very problematic bug that makes strimertul irresponsive after a while if streaming to Twitch (only v2.0.0 is affected). If you are using v2.0.0, I suggest you upgrade as soon as possible!

Migrating driver

If you are currently running strimertul with BadgerDB (which is still the default, for compatibility reasons) you can export your database as a JSON file using the -export CLI argument, like this:

strimertul -export dump.json

You can then delete/move the database directory (by default, ./data) and re-run strimertul with the following command:

strimertul -import dump.json -driver pebble

You won't have to specify -driver pebble after the first run as strimertul will auto-detect what database is in use when launched.

Changelog

Added

• Pebble driver: You can now use Pebble as a database. Just use -driver=pebble
• Auto driver detection: The -driver option now defaults to auto, which will try to identify which database is in use. This means the -driver argument is realistically only needed when you first start strimertul. auto defaults to BadgerDB if no database is found (to preserve compatibility)

Fixed

• Fixed nasty sync bug that would make strimertul unresponsive when it would detect streaming on Twitch.
