== iperf 3.?.? ????-??-?? ==

* User-visible changes

  * The iperf3 project has been moved to GitHub, and various URLs in
    documentation files have been changed to point there.

  * Setting CPU affinity now works on FreeBSD.

  * iperf3 now builds on Linux systems that do not support
    TCP_CONGESTION.  Most notably this allows iperf3 to work on CentOS
    5.

  * An abort on MacOS 10.9 has been fixed (issue #135).

  * Added -I flag for the server to write a PID file, mostly useful for
    daemon mode (issue #120).

  * A bug that could break some TCP tests on FreeBSD has been fixed.

  * TCP snd_cwnd output is now printed by default on Linux (issue #99).

  * SCTP support has been added (with the --sctp flag), on Linux and
    FreeBSD (issue #131).

  * In JSON output, the --title string no longer has a colon and two
    spaces appended (issue #139).

  * A buffer for holding formatted numeric values is now
    properly-sized so that output is not truncated (issue #142).

* Developer-visible changes

  * Some memory leaks have been fixed.

  * A -d flag enables debugging output.

  * A .gitignore file has been added.

  * libtoolize is now invoked correctly from the bootstrap.sh script.

  * The test unit format can now be set from the API (issue #144).

  * libiperf is now built as both shared and static libraries.

== iperf 3.0.1 2014-01-10 ==
  * Added the following new flags
     -D, --daemon	       run server as a daemon
     -L, --flowlabel           set IPv6 flow label (Linux only)
     -C, --linux-congestion    set congestion control algorithm (Linux only)
     -k, --blockcount #[KMG]   number of blocks (packets) to transmit
     	 	      	       (instead of -t or -n)
  * Bug fixes

== iperf 3.0-RC5 2013-11-15 ==
  * Added the following new flags
     -F, --file name           xmit/recv the specified file
     -A, --affinity n/n,m      set CPU affinity (Linux only)
     -J, --json                output in JSON format
     -Z, --zerocopy            use a 'zero copy' method of sending data
     -O, --omit N              omit the first n seconds
     -T, --title str           prefix every output line with this string
  * more useful information in 'verbose' mode
  * Many bug fixes


== iperf 3.0b4 2010-08-02 ==

  * Added support for binding to a specific interface (-B)
  * Added support for IPv6 mode (-6)
  * Setting TCP window size (-w) is now supported
  * Updates to iperf_error
      * Added new errors
      * Should generate more relavent messages
  * Stream list now managed by queue.h macros
  * Test structures are now kept intact after a test is run (for API users)
  * Improved interval timer granularity
      * Support for decimal values
  * Many bug fixes

== iperf 3.0b3 2010-07-23 ==

  * Better error handling
      * All errors now handled with iperf_error()
      * All functions that can return errors return NULL or -1 on error and set i_errno appropriately
  * Iperf API intruduced
      * Support for adding new protocols
      * Added support for callback functions
          * on_connect - executes after a connection is made to the server
          * on_new_stream - executes after a new stream is created
          * on_test_start - executes right before the test begins
          * on_test_finish - executes after the test is finished
  * Added early support for verbose mode (-V)

== iperf 3.0b2 2010-07-15 ==

  * UDP mode now supported
      * Support for setting bandwidth (-b)
      * Parallel UDP stream support
      * Reverse mode UDP support
  * Support for setting TCP_NODELAY (-N), disabling Nagle's Algorithm
  * Support for setting TCP MSS (-M)
      * Note: This feature is still in development. It is still very buggy.

== iperf 3.0b1 2010-07-08 ==

  * TCP control socket now manages messages between client and server
  * Dynamic server (gets test parameters from client)
      * Server can now set test options dynamically without having to restart.
          * Currently supported options: -l, -t, -n, -P, -R
          * Future options: -u, -b, -w, -M, -N, -I, -T, -Z, -6
  * Results exchange
      * Client can now see server results (and vice versa)
  * Reverse mode (-R)
      * Server sends, client receives
