CHANGELOG

   1 version 0.7.8 2008-02-02 (xChaos)
   2
   3 - improved Enterprise Research and Planning (ERP) section
   4 - added informational messages before running iptables-restore
   5 - fixed behaviour of "...-magic-relative-prio 0" + "...-fixed-fixed-prio 0"
   6 - "filter-type classify" prometheus.conf keyword tested in production enviroment
   7
   8 version 0.7.7 2008-01-??
   9
  10 - testing version, 0.8 will be stable release
  11 - faster startup times using iptables-restore (credit: Martin "Ludva" Svoboda)
  12 - compiles and runs correctly on both 32bit and 64bit platforms
  13
  14 version 0.7 2007-01-29
  15
  16 - There were good reasons to rename iptables hashing to iptables indexing.
  17   Hashing is different algorithm, which offers constant complexity
  18   independent on number of hashed entries and high memory requirements, while
  19   iptables indexing used in Prometheus offers log8(N) complexity and relatively
  20   low memory requirements compared to hashing.
  21 - Multiple keywords can be defined and used in /etc/hosts-like nodelist,
  22   which allows definition of various data limits for different users or
  23   definition of both symetrical and asymetrical virtual lines in same config.
  24 - Following prometheus.conf variables were made keyword-dependent:
  25   KEYWORD-magic-relative-limit, KEYWORD-magic-relative-prio,
  26   KEYWORD-magic-fixed-limit, KEYWORD-magic-fixed-prio, KEYWORD-,
  27 - Following new prometheus.conf keyword-dependent variables were added:
  28   KEYWORD-html-color
  29 - Following prometheus.conf variables were removed as obsolete and confusing:
  30   htb-ceil-bonus-divide, htb-ceil-divide
  31
  32 version 0.6 2006-06-29
  33
  34 - Hyper-optimized iptables hashing (automatic, but compile-time configurable)
  35 - Option hashtable-treshold was made now obsolete
  36 - No "Proxy" column in statistics when qos-proxy-enable is set to 0
  37 - iptables verbose output parsing was rewritten
  38 - Unfinished implementation of some pps limiting and soft-restart related code
  39 - Maybe I have changed something else too, but it was long time since last release
  40
  41 version 0.5.3 2005-08-15
  42
  43 - Predictable error messages generated by tc and iptables were
  44   redirected to /dev/null
  45 - magic-fixed-prio and magic-relative-prio can be used even with
  46   magic-fixed-limit and magic-relative-limit set to 0
  47 - Minor bugs in data initializtion were fixed, so program should
  48   compile and run also on exotic non-X86 plaforms like BusyBox Linux
  49
  50 version 0.5.2 2005-06-19
  51
  52 - Fixed long integer traffic counter overflow at 4 gigabytes (up or down)
  53 - Fixed incorrect inclusion of http proxy traffic in direct traffic
  54 - Fixed incorrectly displayed parameters of asymetrical upload (Jakub Walczak)
  55 - Dry run (-d switch) output beautification
  56 - Added check if minimum data transfer value is greater then 0 kbps
  57 - magic-priorities added, allows better soft-shaping wihtout reducing HTB ceil
  58
  59 version 0.5.1 2005-03-22
  60
  61 - Fixed serious bug in 0.5 release
  62
  63 version 0.5 2005-03-21
  64
  65 - Better compatibility with up-to-date gcc and new HTB in 2.6.x kernel
  66 - Enterprise Research and Planning (ERP) analysis implemented
  67 - Credit file support implemented (for use with magic-relative-limit)
  68 - magic-relative-limit-4prio now allows softer FUP using HTB prio
  69 - digital-divide-weirdness-ratio added, only tested value is "2"
  70 - qos-leaf-discipline and other new prometheus.conf keywords added
  71
  72 version 0.4 2004-11-02
  73
  74 - HTTP proxy traffic accounting bug fixed (occured with hashed iptables)
  75 - free bandwith traffic shaping (allowed unlimited upload with hashing)
  76 - maximal guaranted speed increased to 2048 kbps (just tc namespace problem)
  77   (Read: it seems that maximum index of tc classes is restricted to 10000)
  78 - qos-proxy-ip can be inside qos-free-zone even if qos-proxy-enable
  79   (Read: Single machine can run NAT/firewall, HTTP proxy and Prometheus QoS)
  80 - command line argument -n (no delay) overrides qos-free-delay keyword
  81   (Read: Separate configuration file for first run and daily run is not needed)
  82 - traffic from unregistered IPs is monitored even with hashing enabled
  83
  84 version 0.3 2004-10-13
  85
  86 - massive performance improvement thanks to hashing of iptables
  87 - hashtables for /24 subnets are forced if there are 256+ traffic classes
  88 - hashtables can be forced using new option hashtable-treshold)
  89 - qos-free-zone is now optional (use qos-free-zone 0)
  90 - minor bug fix: -h command line arugment now overrides config file
  91
  92 version 0.2 2004-09-20
  93
  94 - daily logging of data transfered in individual traffic classes
  95 - preview feature (create HTML hall of fame without reseting counters)
  96 - delay feature (useful for creating QoS-free period without reseting counters)
  97 - <A NAME=""> anchors with hostnames of individual traffic classes
  98 - tested succesfuly on our upgraded 10Mbps-full duplex, <1000 packets/sec
  99
 100 version 0.1
 101
 102 - initial release
 103 - tested succesfuly on our 3Mbps-full duplex line
