Add CSV-based reflector list parsing with Serde reflector records.
The load_reflectors method reads a CSV file with reflector_ip,
ip_version, and description columns, validating IP version
consistency for each entry.
Add Dockerfile.ci with pkg-config for vendored UCI builds. Switch
Jenkinsfile from pre-built Docker images to Dockerfile-based agents
for full control over the build environment. Add static CRT linking
via RUSTFLAGS for standalone static binaries across the CI matrix.
Switch rust-uci dependency to the Lochnair fork with vendored UCI
feature for self-contained builds without system libuci. Add
uci-vendored feature flag (enabled by default) that pulls in the
vendored C library. UCI support on non-Linux Unix is intended for
development and testing.
Introduce the UciSource abstraction as a config-rs Source that reads
UCI packages and maps them into the configuration tree. Supports
package selection, required/optional behavior, and custom config/save
directories. Move rust-uci dependency to cfg(unix) to enable UCI
support on all Unix systems for development and testing, while
Linux/OpenWrt remains the production-supported platform.
Introduce config-rs and Serde support with a nested Settings model.
Add config and serde dependencies with toml feature for file-based
configuration loading. The Settings struct provides typed configuration
with sensible defaults for network, output, observability, and advanced
settings sections. Environment variable override via SQMA__ prefix is
supported. The legacy Config remains in use; migration follows later.
Eliminate lock contention between the baseliner, ratecontroller, and selector by moving to a message-passing architecture using immutable snapshots of reflector state. This improves data consistency and simplifies cross-thread communication.
Decouple the rate controller from Linux-specific Netlink calls to support other operating systems. This adds a macOS backend for interface statistics and an "observe-only" mode for platforms where traffic shaping is not yet implemented.
Ensure the UCI integration is only compiled on Linux, as the underlying native dependency is platform-specific. Added a build script to warn users when the feature is enabled on unsupported platforms.
The original Lua sqm-autorate project is licensed under the MPLv2.0, and this project started life as a pure port of that. Thus our code should also be licensed under the MPL
