iperf3 Release Notes
====================
+iperf 3.8 2020-06-08
+--------------------
+
+* Notable user-visible changes
+
+ * Profiled libraries and binaries are no longer built by default
+ (#950).
+
+ * A minimal Dockerfile has been added (#824).
+
+ * A bug with burst mode and unlimited rate has been fixed (#898).
+
+ * Configuring with the --enable-static-bin flag will now cause
+ a statically-linked iperf3 binary to be built (#989).
+
+ * Configuring with the --without-sctp flag will now prevent SCTP
+ from being auto-detected (#1008). This flag allows building a
+ static binary (see above item) on a CentOS system with SCTP
+ installed, because no static SCTP libraries are available.
+
+ * Clock skew between the iperf3 client and server will no longer
+ skew the computation of jitter during UDP tests (#842 / #990).
+
+ * A possible buffer overflow in the authentication feature has been
+ fixed. This was only relevant when configuration authentication
+ using the libiperf3 API, and did not affect command-line usage.
+ Various other improvements and fixes in this area were also made
+ (#996).
+
+* Notable developer-visible changes
+
+ * The embedded version of cJSON has been updated to 1.3.17 (#978).
+
+ * Some server authentication functions have been added to the API
+ (#911).
+
+ * API access has been added to the connection timeout parameter
+ (#1001).
+
+ * Tests for some authentication functions have been added.
+
+ * Various compiler errors and warnings have been fixed.
