| |
| 2005-04-08 Version 0.18.4 |
| |
| * A bug has been fixed in which timeout under extremely heavy load |

| |
| 2004-11-18 Version 0.18.2 |
| |
| * Rewrite the usage statement so as to be explicit about disk and memory |
| stress. Improve the Debian packaging. |
| |
| 2003-08-04 Version 0.18.1 |
| |
| * The parent now reaps workers immediately and exits with an error if |
| any of the workers encounter a problem. This allows the tool to be |
| used as an automated stress test. |

| relative to the 0.16 release. |
| |
| 2003-05-08 Version 0.17pre20 |
| |
| * Strict error checking on options, and an updated Texinfo manual. |
| |
| 2003-05-08 Version 0.17pre19 |
| |
| * Major internal code cleanup. Uses round-robin dispatch of worker |
| processes. |
| |
| 2003-05-06 Version 0.17pre18 |
| |
| * This release adds rewritten timeout logic, fixes bugs which caused |
| some errors to not be correctly propagated up the call stack, slightly |
| simplifies the interface, and adds a configure option to produce a |
| statically-linked binary. |
| |
| 2003-01-07 Version 0.17pre14 |
| |
| * Many small bugfixes and usability enhancements. |
| |
| 2002-12-10 Version 0.17pre10 |
| |
| * New --backoff, --no-retry, and --timeout switches, a texinfo manual, |
| regression tests, and many minor bugfixes. |
| |
| 2002-12-08 Version 0.17pre8 |
| |
| * This version fixes minor bugs, adds a texinfo manual, and adds tests |
| for `make check'. |
| |
| 2002-12-06 Version 0.17pre7 |
| |
| * A complete rewrite. Each option is now handled by a fork, so |
| multiple hogs may be specifed on the same command line. Load average |
| may be brought up to arbitrary value, and all available memory and |
| disk space may be consumed. The GNU autotools are used, and testing |
| has been done on Solaris and GNU/Linux. |
