💖 nbdkit-release-notes-1.10 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the nbdkit manual family — specifically the tea on release 1.10. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nbdkit-release-notes-1.10 — the release notes for nbdkit 1.10, and yes that's the whole name, slay 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

These are the release notes for the nbdkit stable release 1.10, and they're describing all the major glow-ups since 1.8. it's giving "look how much we grew" energy fr fr 🦋

nbdkit 1.10.0 dropped on 18th January 2019. iconic date, no cap ✨

🎀 New features 🎀

  • Implemented NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN — and the way this greatly improves performance for clients that support it?? obsessed 😭🔥
  • Implemented NBD_OPT_INFO (Eric Blake). periodt 💅
  • nbdkit-data-plugin(1) and nbdkit-memory-plugin(1): by adding fine-grained locking, these plugins now use the fully parallel thread model. main character behaviour fr 🫶
  • nbdkit-cache-filter(1): the size of the cache can now be limited, and the cache reclaims space using an LRU algorithm. it also got enhanced to support cache-on-read mode. and the filter now uses a fully parallel thread model. ate 💅✨
  • nbdkit-cow-filter(1): use a fully parallel thread model. simple, clean, slay 🧚
  • nbdkit-sh-plugin(3): Inline scripts: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/nbdkit-inline-scripts/
  • nbdkit-sh-plugin(3): Full API version 2 is now supported 💖
  • nbdkit-ocaml-plugin(3): Full API version 2 is now supported 💖
  • nbdkit-delay-filter(1) lets you specify the read, write, zero and trim delays individually. customise ur chaos bestie 😌
  • nbdkit-curl-plugin(1): added support for connecting to servers over Unix domain sockets 🔥
  • Bash tab completion has been improved: partial plugin names are expanded correctly, and plugin parameters containing - work. tiny win but such a win 😭
  • Public header files can now be consumed by ISO C90 compilers (but GCC or Clang is still required to compile nbdkit itself — don't get it twisted 🙈)
  • A better non-cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (xoshiro256** 1.0) is now used on all platforms, replacing previous uses of random(3). glow-up for the RNG fr 🌈
  • Fuzzing using American Fuzzy Lop is now supported, and was carried out, resulting in one error being found in the server (not security related). we found a lil guy. he's fine 💀
  • New nbdkit-xz-filter(1): this replaces nbdkit-xz-plugin which will be removed in nbdkit 1.12. so heads up bestie, that's a deprecation 🚨
  • New nbdkit-loop(1) man page documenting how to use nbdkit for loop mounts. see also: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/nbdkit/ 🎤
  • New nbdkit-full-plugin(1): returns ENOSPC on every request. unhinged? yes. useful? also yes 💅
  • attribute((format)), attribute((nonnull)) and attribute((sentinel)) are used in internal header files to improve code quality ✨
  • Logging using %m now works on all platforms, not just on Linux with glibc (Eric Blake) 🫶
  • VPATH builds partially supported (Eric Blake). partial support is still support okay 😤
