Update to allow arrays of routes to be passed to the http frontend. This also supports named parameters as permitted by the router. To avoid external dependencies in the middleware, a RouteParam and RouteParams type was added to the bittorrent package. Note: this eliminates the need for "enable_legacy_php_urls", as the the additional route could be added to the route array. However, this may be considered a breaking change. |

Chihaya
Note: The master branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. Please use releases instead of the master branch in order to get stable binaries.
Chihaya is an open source BitTorrent tracker written in Go.
Differentiating features include:
- HTTP and UDP protocols
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Pre/Post middlware hooks
- YAML configuration
- Metrics via Prometheus
- High Availability via Redis
- Kubernetes deployment via Helm
Why Chihaya?
Chihaya is built for developers looking to integrate BitTorrent into a preexisting production environment. Chihaya's pluggable architecture and middleware framework offers a simple and flexible integration point that abstracts the BitTorrent tracker protocols. The most common use case for Chihaya is enabling peer-to-peer cloud software deployments.
