bonnie++ (1.03a) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed the bugs in GCC 3.2 compilation and compiled with GCC 3.2.  Results

    will be slightly lower now, but it's still a fair test of compiler/OS...

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Fri, 10 Jan 2002 15:20:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.03) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug in error handling during a stat test with multiple directories.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Fri,  6 Dec 2002 12:52:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.02d) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug where it would SEGV if you specified more than 999 directories

    (now it handles 99,999 and displays an error message if you ask for more).

    Closes: #171507

  * Made it build on Irix.

  * Fixed <vector> and <algo> checks to work with GCC 3.2.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Tue,  3 Dec 2002 15:12:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.02c) unstable; urgency=low

  * Improved the RPM packaging.

  * Added support for detecting memory size on AIX.

  * I changed minimum time for a test to be considered valid to half a second

    but forgot to change the man page, changed it now.

  * Fixed an error in calculating seeks, it used to add an extra 5 seconds to

    the test time before calculation and therefore under-reported the results.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 22 Apr 2002 00:33:00 +0200

bonnie++ (1.02b) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made the signal handler extern "C".

  * Fixed a spelling error in the description.

    Closes: #124462

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 19 Dec 2001 07:55:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.02a) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed optind=0, which caused problems on BSD.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Tue,  6 Nov 2001 17:23:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.02-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated to latest debian standards version and follow the latest Debian

    policy on stripping and debug generation.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sat,  6 Oct 2001 19:06:39 +0200

bonnie++ (1.02) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed the cause of a minor warning on AIX.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 19 Sep 2001 17:05:01 +0200

bonnie++ (1.01d) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug where bonnie++ would SEGV if ^C was pressed at the start of the

    file creation tests.

  * Clarified the -r option to bonnie++ in the man page.

  * Minor fix to command line checking for chunk size.  Now works for 1M chunks.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Thu, 26 Jul 2001 21:46:18 +0200

bonnie++ (1.01c) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made the -d option to bonnie++ work with relative paths.  Now it does

    chdir() to the specifed directory and proceeds as usual.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Fri, 25 May 2001 14:36:17 +0100

bonnie++ (1.01b-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Compiled with GCC 2.95 for Debian.

    Closes:#94349

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 23 Apr 2001 9:20:00 +0100

bonnie++ (1.01b) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made it remove the ./configure cache files before Debian package build.

    This fixes the problems with incorrect data being cached for ports.

    Closes:#94289

  * Fixed the memory checks for file creation tests, thanks to

    Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> .

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:30:18 +0100

bonnie++ (1.01a) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed bon_csv2txt so that it can handle a '/' in the CSV file denoting

    multiple directories for the file creation tests.

  * Stopped it giving a floating point exception (on correctly performing

    machines such as Alphas) when a test is skipped.

  * Fixed a warning about the variable name "basename" with the latest gcc.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 16 Apr 2001 19:10:34 +0100

bonnie++ (1.01) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made it conflict/provide/replace the bonnie package.  Bonnie++ does

    everything that bonnie does and fixes some bugs including doing srand()

    after fork(), and having sensible defaults and detection of RAM installed

    to avoid meaningless test results.

    There is no need to have bonnie and bonnie++ installed.

  * Added an autoconf check for snprintf() for IRIX.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Tue, 13 Mar 2001 12:42:43 +0100

bonnie++ (1.00h) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed readme.html to make it more up to date.

  * Now use exec_prefix for binary installation.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 19 Feb 2001 15:23:17 +0100

bonnie++ (1.00g) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug in zcav that prevented it working with parameters other than

    the file name.

  * Updated to standards version 3.2.1.

  * Closes:#70331

    Fixed this a couple of versions ago.

  * Fixed these bugs ages ago but being a sponsored package had confused the

    bug tracker:

    Closes:#53545

    Closes:#53546

    Closes:#61925

    Closes:#64995

  * Back-ported some extra error handling from 1.90c.

  * Made quiet mode not tell you which UID it uses.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 1 Jan 2001 14:29:32 +1100

bonnie++ (1.00f) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed the bugs in timing of seeks.

  * Changed the number of seeks from 8000 to 8192.

  * Now the minimum time for a test that will be considered valid is 500ms (for

    bonnie++ and zcav), it was previously 1000ms but I have been convinced that

    system clocks are accurate enough for this.

  * Changed the default number of files created for file creation tests from

    30K to 16K, this change makes the test time bearable on obsolete file

    systems like UFS but relies on the above change to work on ReiserFS on

    Pentium4 class CPUs.

  * Changed the default file size to 300M for IO tests, this reflects the

    increase in RAM sizes over the last year.

  * Added some more compile warnings and fixed some more trivial bugs.

  * Made the loops: line in zcav output always be prefixed by a '#' for a

    gnuplot comment.

  * Made zcav correctly display the position in megabytes instead of block-size

    units.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 27 Nov 2000 09:45:30 +0200

bonnie++ (1.00e) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now exit on sync errors.

  * When directory can't be synced it will display one warning and not try to

    sync again.

  * Stopped it crashing when there is only one directory to be synced.

  * Made the version number managed by autoconf so I don't release it with

    inconsistant version numbers again!

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Thu, 9 Nov 2000 03:26:15 +0200

bonnie++ (1.00d) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use SA_RESETHAND instead of SA_ONESHOT for the benefit of Solaris.

  * Added a specific rule for bon_suid.cpp as it doesn't have a header file.

  * Added --prefix support to the ./configure , also made the default prefix

    be /usr/local instead of /usr .

  * Changed the autoconf support for checking for C++ slightly.  It should

    now work better for some strange setups and work the same for everyone

    else (I hope).

  * Made the autoconf tests for semaphore headers work correctly, now it

    should compile on *BSD.

  * Added --disable-stripping option for ./configure if you don't want binaries

    stripped.

  * Added autoconf checking for bool, now it should compile on AIX using ICC

    without any special options!

  * Reverted zcav to the 1.00a version and then added the code for -u, -g, and

    the fix for large numbers of data points.  The multi-threaded zcav code

    will go into 1.90 (the pre-2.00 tree).

    Bonnie++ versions < 1.90 will never again have threading code.

  * Made bon_csv2txt use every available character for the description.

  * Made it install man pages by default.

  * Added sun package support - "make -C sun"!

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Thu, 28 Sep 2000 16:22:15 +0200

bonnie++ (1.00c) unstable; urgency=low

  * Closes:#53545

    Fixed in 0.99e, should have been closed in Debian BTS.

  * Closes:#53546

    Fixed in 0.99e, should have been closed in Debian BTS.

  * Closes:#61925

    Fixed in 1.00a.

  * Closes:#64995

    It is in /usr/sbin because it can only sensibly be run by the administrator

    of the machine, otherwise it probably will give bad results and may impact

    the performance of the machine in question.  Also it can now change

    UID/GID.  The new way of dealing with the running as root issue is in the

    next change.

  * Made zcav and bonnie++ take -u and -g options to set the UID and GID to run

    as.  For bonnie++ it is now mandatory to use the -u option when running as

    root.

  * Made bonnie++ not change it's command-line.

  * Documented the K and G suffixes for sizes on the command-line.

  * Now the CPU time field also displays as "+++" if the elapsed time is < 1s.

  * Fixed the machine-name broken-ness from 1.00b, and made the machine name

    default to the nodename as reported by utsname() (also the output of

    `hostname` or `uname -n`).

  * Now uses sysconf() to check the ram size, you can use -r to over-ride it.

    Also the default file size for IO tests will be twice the reported RAM

    size or 200M (whichever is larger).

  * Now Bonnie++ handles ^C from the keyboard, the XCPU and XFSZ (excessive CPU

    and excessive file size) flags and aborts the program cleanly removing all

    files when it receives them.  Also ignores SIGHUP.

  * Added AC_PROG_CC to configure.in so that it can compile on systems with

    strange C compiler setups.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Fri, 08 Sep 2000 08:22:47 +0200

bonnie++ (1.00b) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added more warnings to the compile and removed assertions.  Made some

    trivial changes to the code (like changing variable names) to stop the

    warnings.

  * Fixed the memory management problem on bonnie++, these made it not work on

    IA64 (and stopped it working correctly on most platforms).  Thanks to

    Electric Fence by Bruce Perens for the discovery of this.

    The worst part of it was introduced in testing this version, so it only

    hit me and my alpha-testers.

  * Fixed zcav for large numbers of data points.

  * Made zcav multi-threaded to test multiple hard drives at once.  Changed the

    way it works totally.

  * Removed some dependencies on extensions to the C++ standard which are not

    supported in all compilers, also removed some trivial header file issues.

    These were found in testing on Tru64Unix.

  * Fixed a bug in bonnie++, it would go into an infinite loop when the file

    creation tests had a non-zero size.

  * Made bonnie++ work for block-reads that return partial blocks, now it will

    print an error and do another read for the rest.

  * Made Bonnie++ accept machine names up to 4095 bytes and not crash if the

    name is longer.  Previously the limit was 20 bytes and it crashed when you

    exceeded it.

  * This version is fairly experimental but I'm releasing it now because I need

    wider testing of the new features.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Fri, 25 Aug 2000 12:15:06 +0200

bonnie++ (1.00a) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added a 30 second startup delay when run as root.  A user lost some data

    because of running it as root, if they had run it as a regular account

    they would be OK.  I don't want this to happen again.

  * Zcav now displays an error if it can't read a single block.

  * Added some basic autoconf support which I will use to increase portability

    in future versions.

  * Now provides zcav.

  * Should compile with all old versions of gcc.

  * Fixed a warning on Alpha.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Mon, 24 Apr 2000 23:34:02 +0100

bonnie++ (1.00) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now include ZCAV in the same package.  ZCAV package should disappear.

  * License is now GPL.  Tim Bray agrees to the GPL for his parts, the license

    conflict was stopping me from putting ZCAV into the archive.

  * ZCAV reads through a hard drive sequentially and reports the IO speeds for

    different zones of the drive.

  * Fixed a few minor issues with the documentation, and put the test programs

    in /usr/sbin as they aren't generally run by regular users.  Also use man

    section 8.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sat, 01 Mar 2000 12:01:00 +0100

bonnie++ (0.99j) unstable; urgency=low

  * 0.99h core dumped when you didn't specify "-b" for file creation tests,

    fixed.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sun, 05 Mar 2000 11:16:42 +0100

bonnie++ (0.99h) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a variety of bugs in the semaphore code which were introduced in

    0.99g.

  * Fixed formatting of output.

  * Added "-b" option to sync all writes.

  * Changed the semaphore code to make it more easily hackable for BSD users,

    it won't compile as-is on BSD at the moment...

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sun, 05 Mar 2000 11:16:42 +0100

bonnie++ (0.99g) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now use getopt() for checking command-line options.

  * Added new versions of fork and semaphore code, initially developed for

    postal.

  * Fixed the message that's displayed when bad command-line parameters are

    entered.

  * Version 1.[0-8]0 will use fork().  Version 1.90 and above will use POSIX

    threads and include the concurrant bonnie++ functionality I've been

    promising for so long.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 23 Feb 2000 22:16:23 +0100

bonnie++ (0.99f) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added "-f" parameter to skip per-char tests and semaphore code to

    synchronise multiple instances of Bonnie++.  Thanks to

    Christian Kagerhuber <c.kagerhuber@t-online.net> for the patch!

  * Added srand() after the fork so each child gets different random numbers.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 12 Jan 2000 16:45:28 +1100

bonnie++ (0.99e) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed the operation of "-x" parameter (used to just cause crashes).

  * Made it cleanly exit under some error conditions where it used to crash.

  * Improved the bonnie++ man page.

  * Fixed some checking of command-line parameters.

  * Merged code from the OS/2 port, needs lots of testing...

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Wed, 12 Jan 2000 16:45:28 +1100

bonnie++ (0.99d) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added some more functionality. Tests hard and soft link creation.

  * Fixed CSV output of <100 seeks per second.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sun, 21 Nov 1999 22:37:42 +0200

bonnie++ (0.99c) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix some bugs with big IO (fseek related) and include man pages.

  * Made it always print the CSV data.

 -- Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>  Sun, 21 Nov 1999 22:37:42 +0200

bonnie++ (0.99b) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release as a Debian package.

0.99

Files are created mode 0600 not 0777.

Fixed some bugs in 0.98 where the results from several tests were totally

wrong.

Now the random file code will take less CPU time when there are extremely

large numbers of files.

Changed the format of all the output files slightly.  Notable change is that

the percentages of CPU time are now rounded off to the nearest percent.  This

is because it's not that accurate anyway (results that are provably more than

1% wrong are not uncommon), and because I needed the extra 1 character per

field.  Also now it handles CPU time >100% properly.  This is for SMP systems

where more than 1 CPU is being used.  Concurrant Bonnie++ will return many

results significantly greater than 100% on OSs that work well with SMP.

Added a csv2txt.pl program.  The main aim of this is to display data well

for 80 column braille displays for the blind.

Added "-q" option for quiet mode (less output).

Now the "-n" option works on a multiple of 1024.  So "-n 10" means create

10240 files.  This change is to allow the output to display in the same

format and save space in display (who would want to test as a lower resolution

than per 1024 files anyway).

The -n option is now of the form "num[:max[:min]]" where max is the maximum

size (default 0) and min is the minimum size (default 0).  To simulate Squid

use a max of 15000 and a min of 300.  To simulate INN use a maximum of 4096

and a minimum of 512.

1.0 will be out soon!

0.98

Fixed a bug where the data size couldn't be an exact multiple of the size of

each file (1 gig).  Fixed a number of other minor bugs related to that and

added more error checking as well.

Changed the code to support up to 1000 files for the IO test, if each is a

gig then you can test a tera-byte of data.  Changing the code to have more

than 1000 files wouldn't be that difficult to do.

Use the new C++ type conversions.

0.97

I have stopped using cout/cerr and never plan to use them again.  They caused

me significant pain when trying to get it going on an ancient SGI system.

Also changed the code structure a bit to make it cleaner.  One advantage of

this is that there is now a "-x" option to tell bonnie++ to run the same test

a number of times (it's interesting to see the variance in the results).

Now use fflush() after writing each set of results.  This means that killing

the program unexpectedly won't result in results being lost.  Also fixes a

strange bug related to printf() on Linux which I am still looking into.
