== iperf 3.2 2017-05-XX ==

* User-visible changes

  * Authentication via a username/password mechanism is now an
    optional way of limiting access to an iperf3 server (#517).

  * Ending statistics are less ambituous for UDP and also now use
    correct test durations for all protocols (#560, #238).

  * Application-level bandwidth pacing (--bandwidth option) is now
    checked every millisecond by default, instead of of every tenth of
    a second, to provide smoother traffic behavior when using
    application pacing.  (#460) The pacing can be tuned via the use of
    the --pacing-timer option.

  * A new --dscp option allows specifying the DSCP value to be used
    for outgoing packets (#508).  The TOS byte value is now printed in
    the JSON output (#226).

  * Congestion window data on FreeBSD is now computed correctly (#465,
    #475, #338).

  * The T/t suffixes for terabytes/terabits are now accepted for
    quantities where suffixes are supported, such as --bandwidth
    (#402).

  * Sanity checks for UDP send sizes have been added (#390), and
    existing checks on the --window option have been improved (#557).

  * The TCP rttvar value is now available in the JSON (#534).

* Developer-visible changes

  * Various warnings and build fixes (#551, #518).

  * Some dead code has been removed.

== iperf 3.1.7 2017-03-06 ==

iperf 3.1.7 is functionally identical to iperf 3.1.6.  Its only
changes consist of updated documentation files and text in the RPM
spec file.

== iperf 3.1.6 2017-02-02 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.6 describe changes, including bug
fixes and new functionality, made since iperf 3.1.5.

* User-visible changes

  * Specifying --fq-rate or --no-fq-socket-pacing on a system where
    these options are not supported now generate an error instead of a
    warning.  This change makes diagnosing issues related to pacing
    more apparent.

  * Fixed a bug where two recently-added diagnostic messages spammed
    the JSON output on UDP tests.

== iperf 3.1.5 2017-01-12 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.5 describe changes, including bug
fixes and new functionality, made since iperf 3.1.4.

Compatibility note: Fair-queueing is now specified differently in
iperf 3.1.5 than in prior versions (which include 3.1.3 and 3.1.4).

Compatibility note: UDP tests may yield different results from all
prior versions of iperf3 (through 3.1.4) due to the new default UDP
sending size.

* User-visible changes

  * The fair-queueing per-socket based pacing available on recent
    Linux systems has been reimplemented with a different user
    interface (#325, #467, #488).  The --bandwidth command-line flag
    now controls only the application-level pacing, as was the case in
    iperf 3.1.2 and all earlier versions.  Fair-queueing per-socket
    based pacing is now controlled via a new --fq-rate command-line
    flag.  Note that TCP and UDP tests may use --bandwidth, --fq-rate,
    both flags, or neither flag.  SCTP tests currently support
    --bandwidth only.  The --no-fq-socket-pacing flag, which was
    introduced in iperf 3.1.3, has now been deprecated, and is
    equivalent to --fq-rate=0.  iperf3 now reacts more gracefully if
    --no-fq-socket-pacing or --fq-rate are specified on platforms that
    don't support these options.

    For UDP tests, note that the default --bandwidth is 1 Mbps.  Using
    the fair-queueing-based pacing will probably require explicitly
    setting both --bandwidth and --fq-rate, preferably to the same
    value.  (While setting different values for --bandwidth and
    --fq-rate can certainly be done, the results can range from
    entertaining to perplexing.)

  * iperf3 now chooses a more sane default UDP send size (#496, #498).
    The former default (8KB) caused IP packet fragmentation on paths
    having smaller MTUs (including any Ethernet network not configured
    for jumbo frames).  This could have effects ranging from increased
    burstiness, to packet loss, to complete failure of the test.
    iperf3 now attempts to use the MSS of the control connection to
    determine a default UDP send size if no sending length was
    explicitly specified with --length.

  * Several checks are now made when setting the socket buffer sizes
    with the -w option, to verify that the settings have been applied
    correctly.  The results of these checks can been seen when the
    --debug flag is specified.  (#356)

  * A --forceflush flag has been added to flush the output stream
    after every statistics reporting interval.

* Developer-visible changes

  * A systemd service file has been added (#340, #430).

== iperf 3.1.4 2016-10-31 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.4 describe changes, including bug
fixes and new functionality, made since iperf 3.1.3.

* User-visible changes

  * On systems that support setting the congestion control algorithm,
    iperf3 now keeps track of the congestion control algorithm and
    print it in the JSON output in the members sender_tcp_congestion
    and receiver_tcp_congestion (issue #461).  A few bugs (probably
    not user-visible) with setting the congestion control algorithm
    were also fixed.

* Developer-visible changes

  * Fixed a buffer overflow in the cJSON library (issue #466).  It is
    not believed that this bug created any security vulnerabilities in
    the context of iperf3.

  * Travis CI builds are now enabled on this codeline (pull request #424).

  * Various bug fixes (issue #459, pull request #429, issue #388).

== iperf 3.1.3 2016-06-08 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.3 describe changes, including bug
fixes and new functionality, made since iperf 3.1.2.

* Security

  * Fixed a buffer overflow / heap corruption issue that could occur
    if a malformed JSON string was passed on the control channel.  In
    theory, this vulnerability could be leveraged to create a heap
    exploit.  This issue, present in the cJSON library, was already
    fixed upstream, so was addressed in iperf3 by importing a newer
    version of cJSON (plus local ESnet modifications).  Discovered and
    reported by Dave McDaniel, Cisco Talos.  Cross-references:
    TALOS-CAN-0164, ESNET-SECADV-2016-0001, CVE-2016-4303.

* User-visible changes

  * On supported platforms (recent Linux), iperf3 can use
    fair-queueing-based per-socket pacing instead of its own
    application-level pacing for the --bandwidth option.
    Application-level pacing can be forced with the
    -no-fq-socket-pacing flag.

  * A bug that could show negative loss counters with --udp and --omit
    has been fixed (issue #412, pull request #414).

  * Error handling has been made slightly more robust.  Also, the
    iperf3 server will no longer exit after five consecutive errors,
    but will only exit for certain types of errors that prevent it
    from participating in any tests at all.

* Developer-visible changes

  * Fixed the build on FreeBSD 11-CURRENT (issue #413).

  * Fixed various coding errors (issue #423, issue #425).

== iperf 3.1.2 2016-02-01 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.2 describe changes, including bug
fixes and new functionality, made since iperf 3.1.1.

* User-visible changes

  * Fixed a bug that caused nan values to be emitted (incorrectly)
    into JSON, particularly at the end of UDP tests (issue #278).

  * Fixed a bug that caused the wrong value to be printed for
    out-of-order UDP packets (issue #329).

  * Added a contrib/ directory containing a few submitted graphing
    scripts.

* Developer-visible changes

== iperf 3.1.1 2015-11-19 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1.1 describe changes and new
functionality in iperf 3.1.1, but not present in 3.1.

* User-visible changes

  * Some markup fixes have been made in the manpages for Debian
    compatibility (issue #291).

  * A bug where the -T title option was not being output correctly
    in JSON output has been fixed (issue #292).

  * Argument handling for some command-line options has been improved
    (issue #316).

* Developer-visible changes

  * A regression with C++ compatibility in one of the iperf header
    files has been fixed (issue #323).

== iperf 3.1 2015-10-16 ==

The release notes for iperf 3.1 describe changes and new
functionality in iperf 3.1, but not present in 3.0.11 or any earlier
3.0.x release.

* Selected user-visible changes

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

  * Setting CPU affinity now works on FreeBSD.

  * Selection of TCP congestion now works on FreeBSD, and is now
    called --congestion (the old --linux-congestion option works
    but is now deprecated).

  * A new -I option for the server causes it to write a PID file,
    mostly useful for daemon mode (issue #120).

  * A --logfile argument can now force all output to go to a file,
    rather than to a file.  This is especially useful when running an
    iperf3 server in daemon mode (issue #119).

  * Various compatibility fixes for Android (issue #184, issue #185),
    iOS (issue #288), NetBSD (issue #248), Solaris (issue #175, issue
    #178, issue #180, issue #211), vxWorks (issue #268).

  * A --udp-counters-64bit flag has been added to support very
    long-running UDP tests, which could cause a counter to overflow
    (issue #191).

  * A --cport option to specify the client-side port has been added
    (issue #207, issue #209, issue #239).

  * Some calculation errors with the -O feature have been fixed (issue
    #236).

  * A potential crash in the iperf3 server has been fixed (issue #257,
    issue #258).

  * Many miscellaneous bug fixes.

* Selected developer-visible changes

  * Consumers of libiperf can now get the JSON output for a
    just-completed test (issue #147).

  * Detection of various optional features has been improved to check
    for the presence or absence of platform functionality, not the name
    of platforms.

  * Out-of-tree builds now work (issue #265).

== iperf 3.0.11 2015-01-09 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Added -1 / --one-off flag, which causes the iperf3 server to
    process one client connection and then exit.  Intended primarily
    for bwctl integration (issue #230).

  * Added various minor bug fixes (issues #231, #232, #233).

  * Added 30-second timeout for UDP tests if unable to establish UDP
    connectivity between sender and receiver (issue #222).

== iperf 3.0.10 2014-12-16 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Fixed the build on MacOS X Yosemite (issue #213).

  * UDP tests now honor the -w option for setting the socket buffer
    sizes (issue #219).

* Developer-visible changes

  * Added an RPM spec file plus functionality to fill in the version
    number.

  * Fixed potential filename collision with a system header (issue
    #203).

== iperf 3.0.9 2014-10-14 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Fixed a series of problems that came from attempting a UDP test
    with a pathologically large block size.  This put the server into
    an odd state where it could not accept new client connections.
    This in turn caused subsequent client connections to crash when
    interrupted (issue #212).

* Developer-visible changes

  * None.

== iperf 3.0.8 2014-09-30 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Updated license and copyright verbage to confirm to LBNL Tech
    Transfer requirements.  No substantive changes; license remains
    the 3-clause BSD license.

* Developer-visible changes

  * None.

== iperf 3.0.7 2014-08-28 ==

* User-visible changes

  * A server bug where new connections from clients could disrupt
    running tests has been fixed (issue #202).

  * Rates now consistently use 1000-based prefixes (K, M, G), where
    sizes of objects now consistently use 1024-based prefixes (issue #173).

  * UDP tests with unlimited bandwidth are now supported (issue #170).

  * An interaction between the -w and -B options, which kept them from
    working when used together, has been fixed (issue #193).

* Developer-visible changes

== iperf 3.0.6 2014-07-28 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Several bugs that kept the -B option from working in various
    circumstances have been fixed (issue #193).

  * Various compatibility fixes for OpenBSD (issue #196) and
    Solaris (issue #177).

* Developer-visible changes

  * The {get,set}_test_bind_address API calls have been added to
    expose the -B functionality to API consumers (issue #197).

== iperf 3.0.5 2014-06-16 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Erroneous output when doing --json output has been fixed (this
    problem was caused by an attempt to fix issue #158).

  * The maximum test running time has been increased from one hour to
    one day (issue #166).

  * Project documentation has been moved to GitHub Pages at this URL:
    http://software.es.net/iperf/.

  * A bug that caused CPU time to be computed incorrectly on FreeBSD
    has been fixed.

  * A timing issue which caused measurement intervals to be wrong
    with TCP tests on lossy networks has been fixed (issue #125).

  * Newer versions of autoconf / automake / libtool are now used by
    default (issue #161).

  * JSON output now indicates whether the test was run in --reverse
    mode (issue #167).

  * It is now possible to get (most of) the server-side output at
    the client by using the --get-server-output flag (issue #160).

* Developer-visible changes

  * automake/autoconf/libtool have been updated to more recent
    versions.  AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is now used to avoid requiring these
    tools at build-time.

== iperf 3.0.4 was not released ==

== iperf 3.0.3 2014-03-26 ==

* User-visible changes

  * Due to several oversights, the source code archive for iperf 3.0.2
    was distributed as an uncompressed tarball, despite having an
    extension (".tar.gz") that indicated it was compressed.  The
    release generation procedure has been changed to avoid this
    problem going forward.

  * Summary structures in the JSON output are now included, even if
    there is only one stream.  This change makes consuming the JSON
    output easier and more consistent (issue #151).

  * A possible buffer overflow in iperf_error.c has been fixed (issue
    #155).

* Developer-visible changes

  * Example programs now build correctly, after having been broken in
    the 3.0.2 release (issue #152).

== iperf 3.0.2 2014-03-10 ==

* User-visible changes

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

  * 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).

  * 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.

  * In the JSON output, the "connection" structures are now stored as
    an array in the "start" block, instead of overwriting each other.
    While technically an incompatible API change, the former behavior
    generated unusable JSON.

      * 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
