Remove --no-clean + option. + +2009-12-02 Version 1.0.2 + + * Fix AIX compile. Apply patch from Wilken Gottwalt to make tee + behave properly. + +2009-08-11 Version 1.0.1 + + * Minor automake cleanups.

There are some usage statement + fixes and improved Debian packaging. + +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. + +2003-06-27 Version 0.17.2 + + * Minor portability changes: now runs on OpenBSD. + +2003-05-25 Version 0.17 + + * This release is identical to 0.17pre20, and is a complete rewrite + 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. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Copyright information: + +Copyright (C) 2001-2010 Amos Waterland + + Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies + of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the + copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, + thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn. + + Permission is granted to distribute modified versions + of this document, or of portions of it, + under the above conditions, provided also that they + carry prominent notices stating who last changed them. |
