Release v0.5.0

License:

• relicensed to GPLv3

Features:

• switched build system from Autotools to CMake3
• many smaller changes related to obligations/new possibilities of CMake
• code is a little bit mor C++ friendly (useful for some clang tools)

Bugfixes:

• fixed few IWYU related bugs
• fixed few clang-tidy detected bugs

Release v0.4.1

Bugfix:

• fix skipping of bfindex "bfi." files while searching for flow files in given directory

Release v0.4.0

Bugfixes:

• fix many smaller bugs discovered during the refactorization

Refactorization:

• clean old parts of the code
• rename identifiers for better code readibility
• get rid of the primary_errno and secondary_errno
• switch part of the code to the new coding style
• clean #includes and forward declaration using IWYU
• revamped handling of libnf fields (#16)
• revamped output printing

Features and Optimizations:

• add support for MPMD (by removing broadcasting of parsed arguments)
• replace the naive "fast Top-N" algorithm with TPUT
• largely extended use of threads
  • eliminated need for shared libnf memory on slaves and
    lnf_mem_merge_threads() calls
  • parallel sorting in thread-local memory on slaves
  • parallel TPUT: each thread now works as a "source"
  • move lnf_filter from thread-shared to thread-private context
  • this all makes OpenMP and MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE mandatory
• records and progress processing moved into separate threads
• poll for new messages on master when appropriate (MPI uses busy waiting by
  default)
• add TCP flags to the default output fields
• add --num-threads option (#18)
• add --time-zone option to set time zone for the whole program (#14)
• add output fields ellipsization
• add output enriched headers

Tests:

• add basic filter performace/regression testing script

Development release v0.3.1

Bugfix:

• #19: ordering no longer clears IP address fields

Other:

• changed unsuitable bfindex/filter warning message to info message
• createed "extras" directory in project root
• add script to automate the version bumping process
• add Makefile target for creating SRPMs

Development release v0.3.0

Bugfixes:

• #2: fix buffer overflow within *snprintf() functions
• #11: handling of libnf aliases like packets and pkts
• #17: parsing libnf field with IP bits
• building: fix build on CentOS 7 due to glibc bug
• various Coverity scan detected defects

Features:

• new OMP scheduler: changed from guided to dynamic
• Bloom filter indexing: revamped code and better integration
• argument parsing: rewritten libnf field handling code
• argument parsing: avoid immediate option argument processing
• building: add a make target to build RPM
• building: add additional CC warning flags and fix them in the code
• building: use AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS from GNU Autoconf Archive
• building: use AX_PROG_CC_MPI from GNU Autoconf Archive

Development release v0.2.2

Changes since v0.2.1:

Bugfixes:
-use MPI_Abort() on error to prevent infinite hanging
-update default flow file mask for time-based options

Development release v0.2.1

Changes since v0.2.0:

Bugfixes:
  -better OpenMP pragma flush placement (new GCC in Fedora 24 has stricter checks)
  -reflect libnf repository changes in travis and documentation

Features:
  -switch to the new version of libnf filter

Development release v0.2.0

Changes since v0.1.0:
Bugfixes:
  -fixed output modifier for timestamps
  -progress bar caused segfaults, handling moved to the main thread
   because of lack of MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
  -append slash when missing at the end of the directory path
  -use dynamic allocation for the slave transmit buffers
  -OpenMP specific code now enclosed in IFDEFs, useful when OpenMP is
   not available or when "--disable-openmp" configure flag is used
  -coverity related bugfixes
  -program return codes (0 was returned even if cmdline arguments
   parsing failed)

Features:
  -extensible path preprocessor (by now, %NUM and %h conversion specifiers
   are available)
  -UNIX timestamp can be used as a time specifier
  -more user firendly time alignment with -t and -T options
  -change time range option from "-t" to the "-T"
  -add time point option (-t) for processing of a single flow file as an
   alternative to the time range option (-T)
  -new options for the progress bar
  -new options for the summary, including fast metadata summary and CSV summary
  -more flexible output control using option --output-items
  -new SPEC file for the RPM packages
