# Globus Streams Application Tools Changes

The Globus Streams Application Tools package provides the client-side
utilities needed to integrate an existing networked application with
Globus Streaming.

## 0.4 (May 15, 2026)

* Installs and configures the `LD_PRELOAD` library used to intercept
  socket calls and redirect connections through Globus Streaming.

* Creates a Python virtual environment and installs the
  `globus-streams` CLI into it.

* The `globus-streams` CLI interacts with GCS and Globus Transfer
  to securely collect information about a Globus Tunnel and write it
  to `~/.globus/streams` for use by a user's application.

* Includes the `globus-streams-launch.sh` script, which reads
  configuration information from `~/.globus/streams` and sets the
  environment variables needed to load the intercept library into
  a user's application process.
