Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock See the end for copying conditions (for this file). The sections that follow provide information on OpenSS7 releases of the OpenSS7 IPERF Utility package as well as compatibility information of OpenSS7 releases to the original `University of Illinois' releases. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.7 -------------------------------------- This is the seventh full release of the `OpenSS7 IPERF Utility' package. This is a stable, production grade release: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the most current release before reporting bugs. This release is largely a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions an architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages (i.e. `sctp-0.2.26'). Major features since the last public release are as follows: - Support build on openSUSE 10.2. - Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel. - Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5). - Support build on Ubuntu 7.04. - Updated to gettext 0.16.1. - Supports build on Fedora Core 6. - Support for recent distributions and tool chains. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.6 -------------------------------------- This is the sixth full release of the `OpenSS7 IPERF Utility' package. This is a stable, production grade release: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the most current release before reporting bugs. This release is largely a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions an architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages (i.e. `sctp-0.2.26'). Major features since the last public release are as follows: - Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16. - Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels. - The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.5 -------------------------------------- This is the fifth full release of the `OpenSS7 IPERF Utility' package. This is a stable, production grade release: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the most current release before reporting bugs. This release is largely a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions an architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages (i.e. `sctp-0.2.26'). Additional features include: - Added `send-pr' scripts for automatic problem report generation. - Added `--disable-devel' `configure' option to suppress building and installing development environment. This feature is for embedded or pure run-time targets that do not need the development environment (static libraries, manual pages, documentation). - Improved compiler flag generation and optimizations for recent `gcc' compilers and some idiosyncratic behaviour for some distributions (primarily SUSE). - Optimized compilation is now available also for user level programs in addition to kernel programs. Added new `--with-optimize' option to `configure' to accomplish this. - Better detection of SUSE distributions, release numbers and SLES distributions: support for additional `SuSE' distributions on `ix86' as well as `x86_64'. Added distribution support includes `SLES 9', `SLES 9 SP2', `SLES 9 SP3', `SLES 10', `SuSE 10.1'. - Many documentation updates for all OpenSS7 packages. Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and timely text documentation present in the release directory. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.5.rc3 ------------------------------------------ Third release candidate. This is a "maintenance" release candidate. This release candidate includes: - Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and timely text documentation present in the release directory. - Many documentation updates for all OpenSS7 packages. - Changes made to the strsctp drivers at the `2006 SCTP Interop' at the `University of British Columbia'. This version was interoperability tested with all implementations present. - Support for additional `SuSE' distributions on `ix86' as well as `x86_64'. Added distribution support includes `SLES 9', `SLES 9 SP2', `SLES 9 SP3', `SLES 10', `SuSE 10.1'. - Better detection of SUSE distributions, release numbers and SLES distributions. - Optimized compilation for user level programs. New `--with-optimize' option to `configure'. - Now includes an `Installation and Reference Manual' (you are reading it). This was an internal alpha test release candidate and was not released publicly. This release was only available to subscribers to and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.5.rc2 ------------------------------------------ Second release candidate. This is a "maintenance" release candidate. This release candidate includes: - Results of performance testing of the new second generation UDP driver (implemented completely in STREAMS instead of using an internal socket). - Support for SuSE 10.1. This was an internal alpha test release candidate and was not released publicly. This release was only available to subscribers to and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.5rc1 ----------------------------------------- Release candidate for Mark Fugate. This is a "maintenance" release candidate. This release candidate includes: - Added `--enable-devel' configure option for embedded targets. - Added `send-pr' script for automatic problem report generation. This was an internal alpha test release candidate and was not released publicly. This release was only available to subscribers to and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.4 -------------------------------------- Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on x86_64 architecture. Some bug corrections resulting from gcc 4.0.2 compiler warnings. Major changes for release iperf-2.0.3 -------------------------------------- Minor changes and bug fixes. Still remaining to do is merge in the latest upstream release of iperf. Initial public release iperf-2.0.2 ----------------------------------- With this release version numbers were changed to reflect an upstream version only to be consistent with other OpenSS7 package releases. All RPM release numbers will be -1$(PACKAGE_RPMEXTRA) and all Debian release numbers will be _0. If you wish to apply patches and release the package, please bump up the release number and apply a suitable release suffix for your organization. We leave Debian release number _1 reserved for your use, so you can still bundle the source in the .dsc file. Initial release iperf-2.0.1-1 ------------------------------ Initial autoconf/rpm packaging release of Iperf. This is an autoconf/rpm release of Iperf suitable for use with OpenSS7 Linux Native SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol). It is usable for performance testing the SCTP application as well as supporting all other Iperf TCP and UDP testing.
