CHANGELOG

   1 version 0.7 2006-01-29
   2
   3 - There were good reasons to rename iptables hashing to iptables indexing.
   4   Hashing is different algorithm, which offers constant complexity
   5   independent on number of hashed entries and high memory requirements, while
   6   iptables indexing used in Prometheus offers log8(N) complexity and relatively
   7   low memory requirements compared to hashing.
   8 - Multiple keywords can be defined and used in /etc/hosts-like nodelist,
   9   which allows definition of various data limits for different users or
  10   definition of both symetrical and asymetrical virtual lines in same config.
  11 - Following prometheus.conf variables were made keyword-dependent:
  12   KEYWORD-magic-relative-limit, KEYWORD-magic-relative-prio,
  13   KEYWORD-magic-fixed-limit, KEYWORD-magic-fixed-prio, KEYWORD-,
  14 - Following new prometheus.conf keyword-dependent variables were added:
  15   KEYWORD-html-color
  16 - Following prometheus.conf variables were removed as obsolete and confusing:
  17   htb-ceil-bonus-divide, htb-ceil-divide
  18
  19 version 0.6 2006-06-29
  20
  21 - Hyper-optimized iptables hashing (automatic, but compile-time configurable)
  22 - Option hashtable-treshold was made now obsolete
  23 - No "Proxy" column in statistics when qos-proxy-enable is set to 0
  24 - iptables verbose output parsing was rewritten
  25 - Unfinished implementation of some pps limiting and soft-restart related code
  26 - Maybe I have changed something else too, but it was long time since last release
  27
  28 version 0.5.3 2005-08-15
  29
  30 - Predictable error messages generated by tc and iptables were
  31   redirected to /dev/null
  32 - magic-fixed-prio and magic-relative-prio can be used even with
  33   magic-fixed-limit and magic-relative-limit set to 0
  34 - Minor bugs in data initializtion were fixed, so program should
  35   compile and run also on exotic non-X86 plaforms like BusyBox Linux
  36
  37 version 0.5.2 2005-06-19
  38
  39 - Fixed long integer traffic counter overflow at 4 gigabytes (up or down)
  40 - Fixed incorrect inclusion of http proxy traffic in direct traffic
  41 - Fixed incorrectly displayed parameters of asymetrical upload (Jakub Walczak)
  42 - Dry run (-d switch) output beautification
  43 - Added check if minimum data transfer value is greater then 0 kbps
  44 - magic-priorities added, allows better soft-shaping wihtout reducing HTB ceil
  45
  46 version 0.5.1 2005-03-22
  47
  48 - Fixed serious bug in 0.5 release
  49
  50 version 0.5 2005-03-21
  51
  52 - Better compatibility with up-to-date gcc and new HTB in 2.6.x kernel
  53 - Enterprise Research and Planning (ERP) analysis implemented
  54 - Credit file support implemented (for use with magic-relative-limit)
  55 - magic-relative-limit-4prio now allows softer FUP using HTB prio
  56 - digital-divide-weirdness-ratio added, only tested value is "2"
  57 - qos-leaf-discipline and other new prometheus.conf keywords added
  58
  59 version 0.4 2004-11-02
  60
  61 - HTTP proxy traffic accounting bug fixed (occured with hashed iptables)
  62 - free bandwith traffic shaping (allowed unlimited upload with hashing)
  63 - maximal guaranted speed increased to 2048 kbps (just tc namespace problem)
  64   (Read: it seems that maximum index of tc classes is restricted to 10000)
  65 - qos-proxy-ip can be inside qos-free-zone even if qos-proxy-enable
  66   (Read: Single machine can run NAT/firewall, HTTP proxy and Prometheus QoS)
  67 - command line argument -n (no delay) overrides qos-free-delay keyword
  68   (Read: Separate configuration file for first run and daily run is not needed)
  69 - traffic from unregistered IPs is monitored even with hashing enabled
  70
  71 version 0.3 2004-10-13
  72
  73 - massive performance improvement thanks to hashing of iptables
  74 - hashtables for /24 subnets are forced if there are 256+ traffic classes
  75 - hashtables can be forced using new option hashtable-treshold)
  76 - qos-free-zone is now optional (use qos-free-zone 0)
  77 - minor bug fix: -h command line arugment now overrides config file
  78
  79 version 0.2 2004-09-20
  80
  81 - daily logging of data transfered in individual traffic classes
  82 - preview feature (create HTML hall of fame without reseting counters)
  83 - delay feature (useful for creating QoS-free period without reseting counters)
  84 - <A NAME=""> anchors with hostnames of individual traffic classes
  85 - tested succesfuly on our upgraded 10Mbps-full duplex, <1000 packets/sec
  86
  87 version 0.1
  88
  89 - initial release
  90 - tested succesfuly on our 3Mbps-full duplex line
