== iperf 3.?.? ????-??-?? ==
* User-visible changes
* The iperf3 project has been moved to GitHub, and various URLs in
documentation files have been changed to point there.
* 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.
* Selection of TCP congestion now works on FreeBSD, and is now
called --congestion (the old --linux-congestion option works
but is now deprecated).
* An abort on MacOS 10.9 has been fixed (issue #135).
* Added -I flag for the server to write a PID file, mostly useful for
daemon mode (issue #120).
* A bug that could break some TCP tests on FreeBSD has been fixed.
* TCP snd_cwnd output is now printed by default on Linux (issue #99).
* SCTP support has been added (with the --sctp flag), on Linux and
FreeBSD (issue #131).
* In JSON output, the --title string no longer has a colon and two
spaces appended (issue #139).
* A buffer for holding formatted numeric values is now
properly-sized so that output is not truncated (issue #142).
* 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).
* 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).
* 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).
* The maximum test running time is now one day, up from one hour
(issue #166).
* 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
* Some memory leaks have been fixed.
* A -d flag enables debugging output.
* A .gitignore file has been added.
* libtoolize is now invoked correctly from the bootstrap.sh script.
* The test unit format can now be set from the API (issue #144).
* libiperf is now built by default as both shared and static
libraries (issue #146, issue #152).
* 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.
== iperf 3.0.1 2014-01-10 ==
* Added the following new flags
-D, --daemon run server as a daemon
-L, --flowlabel set IPv6 flow label (Linux only)
-C, --linux-congestion set congestion control algorithm (Linux only)
-k, --blockcount #[KMG] number of blocks (packets) to transmit
(instead of -t or -n)
* Bug fixes
== iperf 3.0-RC5 2013-11-15 ==
* Added the following new flags
-F, --file name xmit/recv the specified file
-A, --affinity n/n,m set CPU affinity (Linux only)
-J, --json output in JSON format
-Z, --zerocopy use a 'zero copy' method of sending data
-O, --omit N omit the first n seconds
-T, --title str prefix every output line with this string
* more useful information in 'verbose' mode
* Many bug fixes
== iperf 3.0b4 2010-08-02 ==
* Added support for binding to a specific interface (-B)
* Added support for IPv6 mode (-6)
* Setting TCP window size (-w) is now supported
* Updates to iperf_error
* Added new errors
* Should generate more relavent messages
* Stream list now managed by queue.h macros
* Test structures are now kept intact after a test is run (for API users)
* Improved interval timer granularity
* Support for decimal values
* Many bug fixes
== iperf 3.0b3 2010-07-23 ==
* Better error handling
* All errors now handled with iperf_error()
* All functions that can return errors return NULL or -1 on error and set i_errno appropriately
* Iperf API intruduced
* Support for adding new protocols
* Added support for callback functions
* on_connect - executes after a connection is made to the server
* on_new_stream - executes after a new stream is created
* on_test_start - executes right before the test begins
* on_test_finish - executes after the test is finished
* Added early support for verbose mode (-V)
== iperf 3.0b2 2010-07-15 ==
* UDP mode now supported
* Support for setting bandwidth (-b)
* Parallel UDP stream support
* Reverse mode UDP support
* Support for setting TCP_NODELAY (-N), disabling Nagle's Algorithm
* Support for setting TCP MSS (-M)
* Note: This feature is still in development. It is still very buggy.
== iperf 3.0b1 2010-07-08 ==
* TCP control socket now manages messages between client and server
* Dynamic server (gets test parameters from client)
* Server can now set test options dynamically without having to restart.
* Currently supported options: -l, -t, -n, -P, -R
* Future options: -u, -b, -w, -M, -N, -I, -T, -Z, -6
* Results exchange
* Client can now see server results (and vice versa)
* Reverse mode (-R)
* Server sends, client receives
