First iteration of release notes for a 3.1.0 release
This involves copying the release notes through 3.0.11 into the mainline release notes file, and then updating for changes on the mainline that haven't appeared in any prior 3.0.x release. Not all changes are listed. We'll probably do a beta or two before a real 3.1.0 release.

The release notes for iperf 3.1.0 describe changes and new
|
||||
functionality in iperf 3.1.0, but not present in 3.0.11 or any earlier
|
||||
3.0.x release.
|
||||
|
||||
* Selected user-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* SCTP support has been added (with the --sctp flag), on Linux and
|
||||
FreeBSD (issue #131).
|
||||
|
||||
* Setting CPU affinity now works on FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
* Selection of TCP congestion now works on FreeBSD, and is now
|
||||
called --congestion (the old --linux-congestion option works
|
||||
but is now deprecated).
|
||||
|
||||
* Added -I flag for the server to write a PID file, mostly useful for
|
||||
daemon mode (issue #120).
|
||||
|
||||
* A --logfile argument can now force all output to go to a file,
|
||||
rather than to a file. This is especially useful when running an
|
||||
iperf3 server in daemon mode (issue #119).
|
||||
|
||||
* Various compatibility fixes for Android (issue #184, issue #185),
|
||||
NetBSD (issue #248), Solaris (issue #175, issue #178, issue #180,
|
||||
issue #211), vxWorks (issue #268).
|
||||
|
||||
* A --udp-counters-64bit feature has been added to support very long
|
||||
UDP tests (issue #191).
|
||||
|
||||
* A --cport option to specify the client-side port has been added
|
||||
(issue #207, issue #209, issue #239).
|
||||
|
||||
* Some calculation errors with the -O feature have been fixed (issue
|
||||
#236).
|
||||
|
||||
* A potential crash in the iperf3 server has been fixed (issue #257,
|
||||
issue #258).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Consumers of libiperf can now get the JSON output for a
|
||||
just-completed test (issue #147).
|
||||
|
||||
* Detection of various optional features has been improved to check
|
||||
for the presence or absence of platform functionality, not the name
|
||||
of platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
* Out-of-tree builds now work (issue #265).
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.11 2015-01-09 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Added -1 / --one-off flag, which causes the iperf3 server to
|
||||
process one client connection and then exit. Intended primarily
|
||||
for bwctl integration (issue #230).
|
||||
|
||||
* Added various minor bug fixes (issues #231, #232, #233).
|
||||
|
||||
* Added 30-second timeout for UDP tests if unable to establish UDP
|
||||
connectivity between sender and receiver (issue #222).
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.10 2014-12-16 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the build on MacOS X Yosemite (issue #213).
|
||||
|
||||
* UDP tests now honor the -w option for setting the socket buffer
|
||||
sizes (issue #219).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Added an RPM spec file plus functionality to fill in the version
|
||||
number.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed potential filename collision with a system header (issue
|
||||
#203).
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.9 2014-10-14 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a series of problems that came from attempting a UDP test
|
||||
with a pathologically large block size. This put the server into
|
||||
an odd state where it could not accept new client connections.
|
||||
This in turn caused subsequent client connections to crash when
|
||||
interrupted (issue #212).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* None.
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.8 2014-09-30 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated license and copyright verbage to confirm to LBNL Tech
|
||||
Transfer requirements. No substantive changes; license remains
|
||||
the 3-clause BSD license.
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* None.
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.7 2014-08-28 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* A server bug where new connections from clients could disrupt
|
||||
running tests has been fixed (issue #202).
|
||||
|
||||
* Rates now consistently use 1000-based prefixes (K, M, G), where
|
||||
sizes of objects now consistently use 1024-based prefixes (issue #173).
|
||||
|
||||
* UDP tests with unlimited bandwidth are now supported (issue #170).
|
||||
|
||||
* An interaction between the -w and -B options, which kept them from
|
||||
working when used together, has been fixed (issue #193).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.6 2014-07-28 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Several bugs that kept the -B option from working in various
|
||||
circumstances have been fixed (issue #193).
|
||||
|
||||
* Various compatibility fixes for OpenBSD (issue #196) and
|
||||
Solaris (issue #177).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* The {get,set}_test_bind_address API calls have been added to
|
||||
expose the -B functionality to API consumers (issue #197).
|
||||
|
||||
== iperf 3.0.5 2014-06-16 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Erroneous output when doing --json output has been fixed (this
|
||||
problem was caused by an attempt to fix issue #158).
|
||||
|
||||
* The maximum test running time has been increased from one hour to
|
||||
one day (issue #166).
|
||||
|
||||
* Project documentation has been moved to GitHub Pages at this URL:
|
||||
http://software.es.net/iperf/.
|
||||
|
||||
* A bug that caused CPU time to be computed incorrectly on FreeBSD
|
||||
has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
* A timing issue which caused measurement intervals to be wrong
|
||||
with TCP tests on lossy networks has been fixed (issue #125).
|
||||
|
||||
* Newer versions of autoconf / automake / libtool are now used by
|
||||
default (issue #161).
|
||||
|
||||
* JSON output now indicates whether the test was run in --reverse
|
||||
mode (issue #167).
|
||||
|
||||
* It is now possible to get (most of) the server-side output at
|
||||
the client by using the --get-server-output flag (issue #160).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* automake/autoconf/libtool have been updated to more recent
|
||||
versions. AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is now used to avoid requiring these
|
||||
tools at build-time.

== iperf 3.0.3 2014-03-26 ==
|
||||
|
||||
* User-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Due to several oversights, the source code archive for iperf 3.0.2
|
||||
was distributed as an uncompressed tarball, despite having an
|
||||
extension (".tar.gz") that indicated it was compressed. The
|
||||
release generation procedure has been changed to avoid this
|
||||
problem going forward.
|
||||
|
||||
* Summary structures in the JSON output are now included, even if
|
||||
there is only one stream. This change makes consuming the JSON
|
||||
output easier and more consistent (issue #151).
|
||||
|
||||
* A possible buffer overflow in iperf_error.c has been fixed (issue
|
||||
#155).
|
||||
|
||||
* Developer-visible changes
|
||||
|
||||
* Example programs now build correctly, after having been broken in
|
||||
the 3.0.2 release (issue #152).

* Setting CPU affinity now works on FreeBSD.
|

|

* iperf3 now builds on Linux systems that do not support

TCP_CONGESTION. Most notably this allows iperf3 to work on CentOS

5.
