  14
  15 - improved Enterprise Research and Planning (ERP) section
  16 - added informational messages before running iptables-restore

  21
  22 version 0.7.7 2008-01-??
  23
  24 - testing version, 0.8 will be stable release
  25 - faster startup times using iptables-restore (credit: Martin "Ludva" Svoboda)
  26 - compiles and runs correctly on both 32bit and 64bit platforms
  27
  28 version 0.7 2007-01-29
  29
  30 - There were good reasons to rename iptables hashing to iptables indexing.
  31   Hashing is different algorithm, which offers constant complexity
  32   independent on number of hashed entries and high memory requirements, while
  33   iptables indexing used in Prometheus offers log8(N) complexity and relatively
  34   low memory requirements compared to hashing.
  35 - Multiple keywords can be defined and used in /etc/hosts-like nodelist,
  36   which allows definition of various data limits for different users or
  37   definition of both symetrical and asymetrical virtual lines in same config.
  38 - Following prometheus.conf variables were made keyword-dependent:
  39   KEYWORD-magic-relative-limit, KEYWORD-magic-relative-prio,
  40   KEYWORD-magic-fixed-limit, KEYWORD-magic-fixed-prio, KEYWORD-,
  41 - Following new prometheus.conf keyword-dependent variables were added:
  42   KEYWORD-html-color
  43 - Following prometheus.conf variables were removed as obsolete and confusing:
  44   htb-ceil-bonus-divide, htb-ceil-divide
  45
  46 version 0.6 2006-06-29
  47
  48 - Hyper-optimized iptables hashing (automatic, but compile-time configurable)
  49 - Option hashtable-treshold was made now obsolete
  50 - No "Proxy" column in statistics when qos-proxy-enable is set to 0
  51 - iptables verbose output parsing was rewritten
  52 - Unfinished implementation of some pps limiting and soft-restart related code
  53 - Maybe I have changed something else too, but it was long time since last release
  54
  55 version 0.5.3 2005-08-15
  56
  57 - Predictable error messages generated by tc and iptables were
  58   redirected to /dev/null
  59 - magic-fixed-prio and magic-relative-prio can be used even with
  60   magic-fixed-limit and magic-relative-limit set to 0
  61 - Minor bugs in data initializtion were fixed, so program should
  62   compile and run also on exotic non-X86 plaforms like BusyBox Linux
  63
  64 version 0.5.2 2005-06-19
  65
  66 - Fixed long integer traffic counter overflow at 4 gigabytes (up or down)
  67 - Fixed incorrect inclusion of http proxy traffic in direct traffic
  68 - Fixed incorrectly displayed parameters of asymetrical upload (Jakub Walczak)
  69 - Dry run (-d switch) output beautification
  70 - Added check if minimum data transfer value is greater then 0 kbps
  71 - magic-priorities added, allows better soft-shaping wihtout reducing HTB ceil
  72
  73 version 0.5.1 2005-03-22
  74
  75 - Fixed serious bug in 0.5 release
  76
  77 version 0.5 2005-03-21
  78
  79 - Better compatibility with up-to-date gcc and new HTB in 2.6.x kernel
  80 - Enterprise Research and Planning (ERP) analysis implemented
  81 - Credit file support implemented (for use with magic-relative-limit)
  82 - magic-relative-limit-4prio now allows softer FUP using HTB prio
  83 - digital-divide-weirdness-ratio added, only tested value is "2"
  84 - qos-leaf-discipline and other new prometheus.conf keywords added
  85
  86 version 0.4 2004-11-02
  87
  88 - HTTP proxy traffic accounting bug fixed (occured with hashed iptables)
  89 - free bandwith traffic shaping (allowed unlimited upload with hashing)
  90 - maximal guaranted speed increased to 2048 kbps (just tc namespace problem)
  91   (Read: it seems that maximum index of tc classes is restricted to 10000)
  92 - qos-proxy-ip can be inside qos-free-zone even if qos-proxy-enable
  93   (Read: Single machine can run NAT/firewall, HTTP proxy and Prometheus QoS)
  94 - command line argument -n (no delay) overrides qos-free-delay keyword
  95   (Read: Separate configuration file for first run and daily run is not needed)
  96 - traffic from unregistered IPs is monitored even with hashing enabled
  97
  98 version 0.3 2004-10-13
  99
 100 - massive performance improvement thanks to hashing of iptables
 101 - hashtables for /24 subnets are forced if there are 256+ traffic classes
 102 - hashtables can be forced using new option hashtable-treshold)
 103 - qos-free-zone is now optional (use qos-free-zone 0)
 104 - minor bug fix: -h command line arugment now overrides config file
 105
 106 version 0.2 2004-09-20
 107
 108 - daily logging of data transfered in individual traffic classes
 109 - preview feature (create HTML hall of fame without reseting counters)
 110 - delay feature (useful for creating QoS-free period without reseting counters)
 111 - <A NAME=""> anchors with hostnames of individual traffic classes
 112 - tested succesfuly on our upgraded 10Mbps-full duplex, <1000 packets/sec
 113
 114 version 0.1
 115
 116 - initial release
 117 - tested succesfuly on our 3Mbps-full duplex line
