- update to 1.35:

* fixes some parser bugs

* fixes the shared memory allocator

* reserved keywords are now supported in job files

* a few fixes were made for verifying workloads

* fixed a hang when resolving component devices of md/dm arrays

* IO log replay fixes and additions were made

* fixed a hang due to an incorrect mutex clock source

* added support for wider than 32-bit pattern verifies

* fixed a few races when using async verifier threads

* fixed a hang with the async engine and IO depth batch settings

- update to 1.31:

* fixes completion latency numbers (they would read 0)

* fixes an alignment bug

* improves the speed of the mmap engine on 64-bit architectures

* adds support for asynchronous \"verify\" offload threads to speed \"verify\"
workloads
- changes from 1.29:

* fixes and improvements for the IO limiting rate option

* fix for submission latency numbers in some cases

* fix for a bug in the job parser that would sometimes truncate the postfix
value when multiple values were given

* a continue_on_error option was added to allow a job to keep running if it
sees non-fatal errors

* a bug in the mmap engine with large files and 32-bit machines was fixed

* support for fdatasync() was added with the fdatasync option

* an iomem_align option was added for fine-grained control over IO buffer
memory alignment

* the pre_read option was fixed and no longer attempts to pre-read on IO
engines that cannot seek

- update to 1.27:

* corruption of submission/completion latency logs for shared files was fixed

* blocksizes are included in latency logs

* a \"pre_read\" option was added to pre-read files into memory before starting
the job

* exec_prerun/postrun now invokes a shell

* accuracy of disk util stats was improved

* large files are supported with an mmap engine on 32-bit architectures

* ETA stats were improved with better throughput reporting, and IOPS
reporting was added there too

* the man page was fixed based on lintian

Tue Apr 21 14:00:00 2009 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 1.26:

* a crash with multiple files for a job was fixed

* reporting of throughput was corrected, as it was sometimes off by about
2.4%

* IO logging is allowed for diskless engines

* support was added for different weights for reads and writes with the
bssplit= option

* a crash with engines not supporting get_file_size() was fixed

* a sample SSD performance analysis job was added

* a problem was fixed with IO offsets sometimes being too large, causing
early exit of failed IO verification
