AI Summary

This release modifies the port allocation logic for the bore tool. Previously, the --min-port option was only used for validation, but it now actively influences port selection when port 0 is specified. Additionally, the release introduces a new --max-port option.

Key Highlights

  • Adds a new --max-port option for defining the upper bound of available ports.
  • Changes --min-port to actively influence port selection when port 0 is used.
  • Removes the previous behavior where --min-port was only a validation constraint.
  • Port 0 now triggers a random port selection within the specified range.

New Features

  • New --max-port option.
  • Random port assignment respecting --min-port when --port is 0.

Full Release Notes

This version changes the behavior of bore in relation to the `--min-port` option. Now, when a minimum port is specified, any user that connects to bore by default (port: 0) will pick a random port that respects the value of the option. Previously the min port was only used as validation when the user connected with an explicitly specified `--port` variable, and the OS was queried for a free port instead.

This also lets us add a `--max-port` option, which was requested by multiple people.
