DESCRIPTION

9       These are the release notes for nbdkit stable release 1.10.  This
10       describes the major changes since 1.8.
11
12       nbdkit 1.10.0 was released on 18th January 2019.
13
14   New features
15       •   Implemented "NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN" which greatly improves
16           performance for clients that support it.
17
18       •   Implemented "NBD_OPT_INFO" (Eric Blake).
19
20       •   nbdkit-data-plugin(1) and nbdkit-memory-plugin(1): By adding fine-
21           grained locking, these plugins now use the fully parallel thread
22           model.
23
24       •   nbdkit-cache-filter(1): The size of the cache can now be limited,
25           and the cache reclaims space using an LRU algorithm.  It has also
26           been enhanced to support cache-on-read mode.  The filter now uses a
27           fully parallel thread model.
28
29       •   nbdkit-cow-filter(1): Use a fully parallel thread model.
30
31       •   nbdkit-sh-plugin(1): Inline scripts:
32           https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/nbdkit-inline-scripts/
33
34       •   nbdkit-sh-plugin(1): Full API version 2 is now supported.
35
36       •   nbdkit-ocaml-plugin(3): Full API version 2 is now supported.
37
38       •   nbdkit-delay-filter(1) allows you to specify the read, write, zero
39           and trim delays individually.
40
41       •   nbdkit-curl-plugin(1): Add support for connecting to servers over
42           Unix domain sockets.
43
44       •   Bash tab completion has been improved: Partial plugin names are
45           expanded correctly, and plugin parameters containing "-" work.
46
47       •   Public header files can now be consumed by ISO C90 compilers (but
48           GCC or Clang is still required to compile nbdkit itself).
49
50       •   A better non-cryptographically secure pseudo-random number
51           generator (xoshiro256** 1.0) is now used on all platforms,
52           replacing previous uses of random(3).
53
54       •   Fuzzing using American Fuzzy Lop is now supported, and was carried
55           out, resulting in one error being found in the server (not security
56           related).
57
58       •   New nbdkit-xz-filter(1): This replaces nbdkit-xz-plugin which will
59           be removed in nbdkit 1.12.
60
61       •   New nbdkit-loop(1) man page documenting how to use nbdkit for loop
62           mounts.  See also: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/nbdkit/
63
64       •   New nbdkit-full-plugin(1): Returns "ENOSPC" on every request.
65
66       •   "attribute((format))", "attribute((nonnull))" and
67           "attribute((sentinel))" are used in internal header files to
68           improve code quality.
69
70       •   Logging using %m now works on all platforms, not just on Linux with
71           glibc (Eric Blake).
72
73       •   VPATH builds partially supported (Eric Blake).
