* Major changes in netperf-2.3.3
This release is primarily to support additional compilers (gcc 4.0.2),
architectures (x86_64, SMP, 32-bit compatibility), recent Linux
distributions (EL4, SuSE 10, LE2006, OpenSuSE) and kernels (2.6.15).
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 in netperf-2.3.2
Many corrections (but not enough) are included to use the package for
XTI INET testing. UDP works now, but TCP is not completely corrected
yet (and, therefore, neither is SCTP). These capabilities could not
have possibly worked in the original `netperf-2.3' release. The next
release should have TCP and SCTP corrected for XTI.
Corrections included to make the package cross-build for `NexusWare'
as well as recent 2.6.14 (FC4) kernels.
What remains to be done is to merge in the latest upstream release of
netperf into this package and contribute XTI corrections back
upstream.
* Initial release netperf-2.3.1
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
relelease 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 netperf-2.3-1
Initial autoconf/rpm packaging release of Netperf.
This is an autoconf/rpm release of Netperf suitable for use with
OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol),
STREAMS/LiS INET and STREAMS/LiS DLPI. It is usable for performance
testing STREAMS SCTP/INET/DLPI as well as sockets versions of OpenSS7
Linux Native SCTP as well as sockets versions of INET.
Not publicly released.
