XXX * Version X.X.X - remove non-Linux support from all compilation paths (OS_KERNEL_NAME) - add an aarch64 cross-compilation (requested by DAOS) Thu May 23 2024 Oksana Sałyk * Version 2.1.0 This release: - Introduces the new logging subsystem in the release build for all libraries. - Messages by default are printed to syslog and stderr but might be redirected to a user-defined function, see pmem(obj)_log_set_function() for details. - Log level thresholds are controlled via new API, see pmem(obj)_log_set_treshold() for details. - These new APIs are not available for LIBPMEM2 and LIBPMEMPOOL at the moment. - The new logging subsystem is suppressed in the debug build when any of the legacy debug logging environment variables is set: - PMEM_LOG_LEVEL/_FILE - PMEM2_LOG_LEVEL/_FILE - PMEMOBJ_LOG_LEVEL/_FILE - PMEMPOOL_LOG_LEVEL/_FILE - The debug logging subsystem becomes DEPRECATED. - Introduces fuses against ill-considered use of NDCTL_ENABLE=n. - PMEMOBJ_IGNORE_DIRTY_SHUTDOWN and PMEMOBJ_IGNORE_BAD_BLOCKS are required to acknowledge the understanding of what production-critical functions are missing for the build without NDCTL. - Does not allow create PMEMOBJ pool without unsafe shutdown counter (USC) if not explicitly disabled. (#5968) - use PMEMOBJ_CONF="sds.at_create=0" to disable USC when working without PMem (emulated PMem, Docker, etc.). - Drops support for building without libpthread (NO_LIBPTHREAD build-time define). Mon Dec 4 2023 Oksana Sałyk * Version 2.0.1 This release: - Significantly reduces the libpmem's stack usage. - Reduces libpmemobj's stack usage below the 11kB threshold. - Fixing minor Coverity issues - Add a new toolset for stack usage analysis (https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/tree/master/utils/call_stacks_analysis) Tue Aug 8 2023 Oksana Sałyk * Version 2.0.0 This release: - Removes libpmemlog, libpmemblk, btt, and their support in (lib)pmempool - Removes Windows support - Removes FreeBSD support - Removes all pmem2_async operations (experimental) - Removes PowerPC and ARM architectures (experimental) from regular validation - Limits PMDK's static builds validation scope - Removes Fedora and Debian from regular validation - Adds reference platform provisioning instructions for PMDK testing - Identifies and temporarily disables tests permanently or sporadically failing in some configurations: - obj_pmalloc_mt (#5726) - obj_sync (#5643, #5646, #5699, #5705, #5706, #5727) - pmem2_vm_reservation (#5707) - pmempool_sync (#5708) - Re-enable pmem2_persist_valgrind tests previously excluded by mistake (#5855) Wed May 31 2023 Oksana Sałyk * Version 1.13.1 This release: - Identifies and temporarily disables tests permanently or sporadically failing in some configurations: - ex_libpmem2 (#5593, #5635, #5638, #5641) - obj_defrag_advanced (#5690) - obj_sync (#5643, #5646) - pmem2_future (#5596) - pmem2_map (#5600) - pmem2_map_prot (#5599) - pmem2_mem_ext (#5640) - pmem2_mover (partially fixed) (#5595, #5686, #5694) - pmem2_vm_reservation (#5592) - Fixes failing tests: - obj_tx_alloc_mt (#5680) - pmem2_map_from_existing (#5594) - Temporarily disable pmem2_badblock test (#5650) due to missing infrastructure (#5636, #5652) Other changes and notable bug fixes: - pmem2: fix valgrind instrumentation in pmem2_map_from_exisiting (#5605) - pmem2: remove data_mover memory leak (#5681, #5637) - test: update permissions of DAX devices after clearing bad blocks (#5611) - test: disable avx512f tests (pmem2_mem_ext) under Valgrind (#5658) Wed Apr 26 2023 Łukasz Stolarczuk * Version 1.13.0 This release: - Removes (previously deprecated) librpmem.

Using the librpmem library API will result in warnings and is no longer recommended. Those interested in a remote persistent memory support should use the new rpma (https://github.com/pmem/rpma) library. - Introduces a new set of APIs in libpmem2 to perform asynchronous data movement operations. To use this feature, software needs to include an optional miniasync(7) dependency. - Adds new API to machine safe read/write operations in the pmem2 library. - Introduces support for movdir64b instruction for memory operation functions in the libpmem2 library. - Adds experimental support for RISC-V.

There's also a new function to retrieve a numa node for a source. - Makes the pmemobj_open() and pmemobj_close() functions from libpmemobj thread-safe. It's now easier to correctly manage persistent memory pools in a parallel environment. - Introduces a new API in libpmemobj to globally change the method of assigning arenas to threads. The default is to rely on a OS per-thread key to store arena information. This release introduces an option to avoid the use of thread-local keys by simply using one global arena for all threads in a pool. Other changes and notable bug fixes: - pmem2: don't force smaller alignment for fsdax mappings - rpmem: various fixes for powerpc64le - doc: fix documentation of pmem_is_pmem() - common: fix various minor problems found by static analysis - pmem2: arm64: fix possible data loss on ARMv8.2+ (improper flushing) This release introduces no changes to the on-media layout and is fully compatible with the previous version of PMDK. Wed Oct 28 2020 Piotr Balcer * Version 1.10 This release introduces a new stable PMDK library, libpmem2, which is the next major release of libpmem. This library has an entirely new, but familiar, API that addresses many shortcomings of the previous version, while retaining all of its functionality. To learn more, see https://pmem.io/pmdk/libpmem2/ or libpmem2(7). The old library, libpmem, is still going to be maintained for the foreseeable future, but we'd like to encourage any new applications to leverage libpmem2. Wed Oct 28 2020 Piotr Balcer * Version 1.9.2 This release reverts an incorrect change in SDS handling "pool: disable SDS check if not supported", and introduces a proper fix for the issues that patch attempted to correct. Wed Sep 16 2020 Piotr Balcer * Version 1.9.1 Detailed list of bug fixes: - common: fix LIBFABRIC flags - common: Add runtime SDS check and disable - pool: disable SDS check if not supported - obj: fix failure atomicity bug in huge allocs - obj: add missing drain after ulog processing Fri Jul 3 2020 Piotr Balcer * Version 1.9 This release: - Switches the default instruction set for memcpy, memmove and memset implementations on x86 to AVX512, and introduces numerous performance improvements for those operations on AVX and SSE2 fallback paths. - Optimizes transactional allocations in libpmemobj by avoiding one extraneous cache miss and reducing the amount of work required to perform a reservation. - Introduces a new API in libpmemobj, pmemobj_tx_set_failure_behavior, that enables the application to control the behavior of aborting transactions. - Improves performance of pool creation on Windows by avoiding expensive physical page allocation during file allocation. - Stabilizes support for ppc64. Other changes: - pmem: mem[cpy|set] optimization when eADR is available - obj: detect msync failures in non-pmem variants of mem[cpy|move|set] Notable bug fixes: - core: fix Last_errormsg_get when NO_LIBPTHREAD is defined - pmem: read Unsafe Shutdown Count from region instead of interleave set - common: fix deep_flushes failing on platforms that don't need them - pmem: fix data cache flush on ppc64 - obj: fix run allocated recalculation Fri Jan 31 2020 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.8 This release: - Introduces new API in libpmemobj for user-assisted defragmentation (see pmemobj_defrag man page for details). - Introduces experimental support for PPC64LE architecture. - Introduces new flag in libpmemobj for opting-out of transaction aborts on failure (POBJ_TX_NO_ABORT), along with new variants of existing APIs that didn't accept flags (pmemobj_tx_xfree, pmemobj_tx_xpublish, pmemobj_tx_xlock, pmemobj_tx_xlog_append_buffer, pmemobj_tx_xstrdup, pmemobj_tx_xwcsdup). - Moves out libvmem and libvmmalloc to the new repository (https://github.com/pmem/vmem). Other changes: - obj: introduce new statistics useful for defrag - obj: introduce transient/persistent statistics enabling - obj: introduce pmemobj_tx_(set/get)_user_data funcs - obj: introduce pmemobj_(set/get)_user_data funcs - obj: disable workaround for offsetof() since VS 15.5 in public header - common: drop support for libndctl < 63 on Linux - pool: rename -N --no-exec to -d --dry-run Notable bug fixes: - obj: fix zone size calculations - obj: fix potential NULL-dereference in ulog_store - obj: fix unintended recursive locking during palloc - obj: fix lock release order in palloc publish - obj: fix transient redo log of more than 64 entries - obj: fix capacity ulog calculation - obj: fix check of unaligned capacity size - rpmem: add a missing case for GPSPM + FLUSH_STRICT - pmem: fix pmemcheck support on platforms with eADR - pool: fix possible memory leak - rpmem: fix possible memory leak in rpmemd_config_read - rpmem: fix possible memory leak in rpmemd_log_init - rpmem: fix possible use-after-free Mon Sep 30 2019 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.7 This release: - Introduces new APIs in libpmemobj for managing space used by transactions. (see pmemobj_tx_log_append_buffer man page for details) - Introduces new APIs in librpmem, splitting rpmem_persist into rpmem_flush and rpmem_drain, allowing applications to use the flush + drain model already known from libpmem. (libpmemobj does not use this feature yet) - Optimizes large libpmemobj transactions by significantly reducing the amount of memory modified at the commit phase. - Optimizes tracking of libpmemobj reservations. - Adds new flags for libpmemobj's pmemobj_tx_xadd_range[_direct] API: POBJ_XADD_NO_SNAPSHOT and POBJ_XADD_ASSUME_INITIALIZED, allowing applications to optimize how memory is tracked by the library. To support some of the above changes the libpmemobj on-media layout had to be changed, which means that old pools have to be converted using pmdk-convert >= 1.7. Other changes: - obj: fix merging of ranges when NOFLUSH flag is used (pmem/issues#1100) - rpmem: fix closing of ssh connection (pmem/issues#995, pmem/issues#1060) - obj: abort transaction on pmemobj_tx_publish failure Internal changes: - test: fault injection tests for pmemblk, pmemlog, and pmemobj - test: improved Python testing framework - test: support real pmem in bad blocks tests - common: allow not building examples and benchmarks Tue Aug 27 2019 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.6.1 This release fixes possible pool corruptions on Windows (see https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/pull/3728 for details), improves compatibility with newer Linux kernels with respect to Device DAX detection, fixes pmemobj space management for large pools, improves compatibility with newer toolchains, incorporates build fixes for FreeBSD and fixes a number of smaller bugs.

It is expected that systems with libndctl >= 63 has necessary kernel support (Linux >= 4.20). However, due to bugs in libndctl = 63 and Linux = 4.20, it is recommended to use libndctl >= 64.1 and Linux >= 5.0.4. On systems with libndctl < 63, PMDK uses old superuser-only interfaces. Support for old or new interfaces is chosen at BUILD time. - Introduces arena control interface in pmemobj, allowing applications to tweak performance and scalability of heap operations. See pmemobj_ctl_get man page ("heap" namespace) for details. - Introduces copy_on_write mode, which allows testing applications using pmemobj with pmreorder. See pmemobj_ctl_get man page ("copy_on_write" namespace) for details.

Notable bug fixes: - common: make detection of device-dax instances more robust - obj: fix pmemobj_check for pools with some sizes - obj: don't use anon struct in an union (public header) - obj: fix pmemobj_tx_lock error handling - obj: don't use braces in an expression with clang (public header) - obj: suppress pmemcheck warnings for statistics - pmreorder: fix markers nontype issue Fri Oct 26 2018 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.5 This release has had two major focus areas - performance and RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability). Beyond that, it introduces new APIs, new tools and many other improvements. As a side effect of performance optimizations, the libpmemobj on-media layout had to be changed, which means that old pools have to be converted using pmdk-convert. libpmemcto experiment has been finished and removed from the tree. For more details, please see https://pmem.io/2018/10/22/release-1-5.html. New features: - common: unsafe shutdown detection (SDS) - common: detection and repair of uncorrectable memory errors (bad blocks) - pool: new "feature" subcommand for enabling and disabling detection of unsafe shutdown and uncorrectable memory errors - common: auto flush detection on Windows (on Linux since 1.4) - pmreorder: new tool for verification of persistent memory algorithms - obj: new on media layout - pmem/obj: new flexible memcpy|memmove|memset API - obj: new flushing APIs: pmemobj_xpersist, pmemobj_xflush (PMEMOBJ_F_RELAXED) - rpmem: new flag RPMEM_PERSIST_RELAXED for rpmem_persist - obj: lazily initialized volatile variables (pmemobj_volatile) (EXPERIMENTAL) - obj: allocation classes with alignment - obj: new action APIs: pmemobj_defer_free, POBJ_XRESERVE_NEW, POBJ_XRESERVE_ALLOC - blk/log: new "ctl" API Optimizations: - obj: major performance improvements for AEP NVDIMMs - obj: better space utilization for small allocations - common: call msync only on one page for deep drain Other changes: - cto: removed - obj: remove actions limit - common: new dependency on libndctl on Linux - pmempool: "convert" subcommand is now a wrapper around pmdk-convert (please see https://github.com/pmem/pmdk-convert) - obj: C++ bindings have been moved to a new repository (please see https://github.com/pmem/libpmemobj-cpp) Bug fixes: - obj: fix type numbers for pmemobj_list_insert_new - pmem: fix inconsistency in pmem_is_pmem - common: fix windows mmap destruction - daxio: fix checking and adjusting length - common: fix long paths support on Windows Thu Aug 16 2018 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.4.2 This release fixes the way PMDK reports its version via pkg-config files. Bug fixes: - common: fix reported version - doc: use single "-" in NAME section (pmem/issues#914) Fri Jun 29 2018 Marcin Ślusarz * Version 1.4.1 In 1.4 development cycle, we created new daxio utility (command line tool for performing I/O on Device-DAX), but due to some complications we had to disable it just before the 1.4 release. In 1.4.1 we finally enable it. Daxio depends on ndctl v60.1.

Most of them are experimental and controlled by the new pmemobj_ctl APIs. For details, please check the feature requests identified by the issue numbers listed next to the items below. Other important changes are related to performance tuning and stabilization of librpmem library, which is used by libpmemobj to get remote access to persistent memory and to provide basic data replication over RDMA. The librpmem is still considered experimental. NVML for Windows is feature complete (except for libvmmalloc). This release includes the support for Unicode, long paths and the NVML installer. New features: - common: add support for concatenated DAX Devices - common: add Unicode support on Windows - common: add long path support on Windows - common: add NVML installer for Windows - pmem: make pmem_is_pmem() true for Device DAX only - obj: add pmemobj_wcsdup()/pmemobj_tx_wcsdup() APIs - obj: export non-inlined pmemobj_direct() - obj: add PMEMOBJ_NLANES env variable - cpp: introduce the allocator - cpp: add wstring version of C++ entry points - vmem: add vmem_wcsdup() API entry - pool: add pmempool_rm() function (pmem/issues#307) - pool: add --force flag for create command (pmem/issues#529) - benchmark: add a minimal execution time option - benchmark: add thread affinity option - benchmark: print 99% and 99.9% percentiles - doc: separate Linux/Windows version of web-based man pages Optimizations: - obj: cache _pobj_cached_pool in pmemobj_direct() - obj: optimize thread utilization of buckets - obj: stop grabbing a lock when querying pool ptr - rpmem: use multiple endpoints Bug fixes: - common: fix issues reported by static code analyzers - pmem: fix mmap() implementation on Windows - pmem: fix mapping addr/length alignment on Windows - pmem: fix PMEM_MMAP_HINT implementation on Windows - pmem: fix pmem_is_pmem() on invalid memory ranges - pmem: fix wrong is_pmem returned by pmem_map_file() - pmem: fix mprotect() for private mappings on Windows - pmem: modify pmem_is_pmem() behavior for len==0 - obj: add failsafe to prevent allocs in constructor - cpp: fix swap implementation - cpp: fix sync primitives' constructors - cpp: fix wrong pointer type in the allocator - cpp: return persistent_ptr::swap to being public - pool: treat invalid answer as 'n' - pool: unify flags value for dry run - pool: transform for remote replicas - rpmem: persistency method detection - benchmark: fix time measurement Experimental features/optimizations: - obj: pmemobjctl - statistics and control submodule (pmem/issues#194, pmem/issues#211) - obj: zero-overhead allocations - customizable alloc header (pmem/issues#347) - obj: flexible run size index (pmem/issues#377) - obj: dynamic range cache (pmem/issues#378) - obj: asynchronous post-commit (pmem/issues#381) - obj: configurable object cache (pmem/issues#515) - obj: add cache size and threshold tx params - obj: add CTL var for suppressing expensive checks - rpmem: add rpmem_set_attr() API entry - rpmem: switch to libfabric v1.4.2 Thu May 18 2017 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.2.3 Bug fixes: - test: extend timeout for selected tests - test: reduce number of operations in obj_tx_mt - test: define cfree() as free() in vmmalloc_calloc Other changes: - common: move Docker images to new repo Sat Apr 15 2017 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.2.2 Bug fixes: - pmempool: fix mapping type in pool_params_parse - test: limit number of arenas in vmem_stats - test: do not run pool_lock test as root - common: fix pkg-config files - common: fix building packages for Debian Tue Feb 21 2017 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.2.1 This NVML release changes the behavior of pmem_is_pmem() on Linux. The pmem_is_pmem() function will now return true only if the entire range is mapped directly from Device DAX (/dev/daxX.Y) without an intervening file system, and only if the corresponding file mapping was created with pmem_map_file(). See libpmem(7) for details. Bug fixes: - jemalloc: fix test compilation on Fedora 26 (rawhide) - test: fix cpp test compilation on Fedora 26 (rawhide) - common: use same queue.h on linux and windows - common: queue.h clang static analyzer fix - common: fix path handling in build-dpkg.sh - test: fix match files in pmempool_transform/TEST8 Fri Dec 30 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.2 - Windows Technical Preview #1 This is the first Technical Preview release of NVML for Windows. It is based on NVML 1.2 version, but not all the 1.2 features are ported to Windows. In particular, Device DAX and remote access to persistent memory (librpmem) are not supported by design. NOTE: This release has not gone through the full validation cycle, but only through some basic tests on Travis and AppVeyor. Thus, it cannot be assumed "Production quality" and should not be used in production environments. Besides several minor improvements and bug fixes, all the other changes since NVML 1.2 release were related to Windows support: - win: port libvmem (and jemalloc) - win: benchmarks Windows port - win: fix mapping files of unaligned length - win: clean up possible race condition in mmap_init() - win: enable QueryVirtualMemoryInformation() in pmem_is_pmem() - test: check open handles at START/DONE - test: port all the remaining unit tests (scope, pmem_map, obj_debug, util_poolset, pmempool_*) - win: add resource files for versioning Known issues and limitations of Windows version of NVML: - Unicode support is missing. The UTF/USC-encoded file paths or pool set files may not be handled correctly. - The libvmmalloc library is not ported yet. - The on-media format of pmem pools is not portable at the moment. The pmem pools created using Windows version of NVM libraries cannot be open on Linux and vice versa. - Despite the fact the current version of NVML would work with any recent version of Windows OS, to take full advantage of PMEM and NVML features and to benefit from the PMEM performance, the recommended platforms needs be equipped with the real NVDIMMs hardware and should support the native, Microsoft's implementation of DAX-enabled file system (i.e. Windows Server 2016 or later). In case of using NVML with older versions of Windows or with the custom implementation of PMEM/DAX drivers, the performance might not be satisfactory. Please, contact the provider of PMEM/DAX drivers for your platform to get the customized version of NVML in such case. Thu Dec 15 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.2 This NVML release causes a "flag day" for libpmemobj. The pmemobj pools built under NVML 1.1 are incompatible with pools built under NVML 1.2 and later. This is because an issue was discovered with the alignment of locks (pmem/issues#358) and, although rare, the issue potentially impacts program correctness, making the fix mandatory. The major version number of the pmemobj pool layout and the version of the libpmemobj API is changed to prevent the use of the potentially incorrect layout. Other key changes introduced in this release: - Add Device DAX support, providing that "optimized flush" mechanism defined in SNIA NVM Programming Model can safely be used, even if PMEM-aware file system supporting that model is not available, or if the user does not want to use the file system for some reason. - Add a package for libpmemobj C++ bindings. C++ API is no longer considered experimental. Web-based documentation for C++ API is available on https://pmem.io. - Add "sync" and "transform" commands to pmempool utility. The "sync" command allows one to recover missing or corrupted part(s) of a pool set from a healthy replica, while the "transform" command is a convenient way for modifying the structure of an existing pool set, i.e. by adding or removing replicas. - Add experimental support for remote access to persistent memory and basic remote data replication over RDMA (librpmem). Experimental support for remote replicas is also provided by libpmemobj library. New features: - common: add Device DAX support (pmem/issues#197) - obj: add C++ bindings package (libpmemobj++-devel) - obj: add TOID_OFFSETOF macro - pmempool: add "sync" and "transform" commands (pmem/issues#172, pmem/issues#196) Bug fixes: - obj: force alignment of pmem lock structures (pmem/issues#358) - blk: cast translation entry to uint64_t when calculating data offset - obj: fix Valgrind instrumentation of chunk headers and cancelled allocations - obj: set error message when user called pmemobj_tx_abort() - obj: fix status returned by pmemobj_list_insert() (pmem/issues#226) - obj: defer allocation of global structures Optimizations: - obj: fast path for pmemobj_pool_by_ptr() when inside a transaction - obj: simplify and optimize allocation class generation Experimental features: - rpmem: add support for remote access to persistent memory and basic remote data replication over RDMA - libpmempool: add pmempool_sync() and pmempool_transform() (pmem/issues#196) - obj: introduce pmemobj_oid() - obj: add pmemobj_tx_xalloc()/pmemobj_tx_xadd_range() APIs and the corresponding macros - obj: add transaction stage transition callbacks Thu Jun 23 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.1 This NVML release introduces a new version of libpmemobj pool layout. Internal undo log structure has been modified to improve performance of pmemobj transactions. Memory pools created with older versions of the libpmemobj library must be converted to the new format using "pmempool convert" command. See pmempool-convert(1) for details. A new "libpmempool" library is available, providing support for off-line pool management and diagnostics. Initially it provides only "check" and "repair" operations for log and blk memory pools, and for BTT devices. Other changes: - pmem: deprecate PCOMMIT - blk: match BTT Flog initialization with Linux NVDIMM BTT - pmem: defer pmem_is_pmem() initialization (pmem/issues#158) - obj: add TOID_TYPEOF macro Bug fixes: - doc: update description of valid file size units (pmem/issues#133) - pmempool: fix --version short option in man page (pmem/issues#135) - pmempool: print usage when running rm without arg (pmem/issues#136) - cpp: clarify polymorphism in persistent_ptr (pmem/issues#150) - obj: let the before flag be any non-zero value (pmem/issues#151) - obj: fix compare array pptr to nullptr (pmem/issues#152) - obj: cpp pool.get_root() fix (pmem/issues#156) - log/blk: set errno if replica section is specified (pmem/issues#161) - cpp: change exception message (pmem/issues#163) - doc: remove duplicated words in man page (pmem/issues#164) - common: always append EXTRA_CFLAGS after our CFLAGS Experimental features: - Implementation of C++ bindings for libpmempobj is complete. Web-based documentation for C++ API is available on https://pmem.io. Note that C++ API is still considered experimental. Do not use it in production environments. - Porting NVML to Windows is in progress. There are MS Visual Studio solution/projects available, allowing to compile libpmem, libpmemlog, libpmemblk and libpmemobj on Windows, but the libraries are not fully functional and most of the test are not enabled yet. Thu Apr 07 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 1.0 The API of six libraries (libpmem, libpmemblk, libpmemlog, libpmemobj, libvmem, libvmmalloc) is complete and stable. The on-media layout of persistent memory pools will be maintained from this point, and if changed it will be backward compatible. Man pages are all complete. This release has been validated to "Production quality". For the purpose of new features planned for next releases of NVML there have been some API modifications made: - pmem: pmem_map replaced with pmem_map_file - log/blk: 'off_t' substituted with 'long long' - obj: type numbers extended to 64-bit - obj: new entry points and macros added: pmemobj_tx_errno, pmemobj_tx_lock, pmemobj_mutex_timedlock, TX_ADD_DIRECT, TX_ADD_FIELD_DIRECT, TX_SET_DIRECT Other key changes since version 0.4 include: - common: updated/fixed installation scripts - common: eliminated dependency on libuuid - pmem: CPU features/ISA detection using CPUID - obj: improved error handling - obj: atomic allocation fails if constructor returns error - obj: multiple performance optimizations - obj: object store refactoring - obj: additional examples and benchmarks This release also introduces a prototype implementation of C++ bindings for libpmemobj. Note that C++ API is still experimental and should not be used in production environments. Fri Dec 04 2015 Krzysztof Czurylo * Version 0.4 This NVML version primarily focuses on improving code quality and reliability. In addition to a couple of bug fixes, the changes include: - benchmarks for libpmemobj, libpmemblk and libvmem - additional pmemobj tests and examples - pool mapping address randomization - added pmempool "rm" command - eliminated libpmem dependency on libpthread - enabled extra warnings - minor performance improvements Man pages are all complete. This release is considered "Beta quality" by the team, having been thoroughly validated, including significant performance analysis. The pmempool command does not yet support "check" and "repair" operations for pmemobj type pools. Sun Sep 13 2015 Andy Rudoff * Version 0.3 NVML is now feature complete, adding support for: - pool sets - pmemobj local replication (active/passive) - experimental valgrind support - pmempool support for all pool types Man pages are all complete. This release is considered "Alpha quality" by the team, having gone through significant validation but only some performance analysis at this point. Tue Jun 30 2015 Andy Rudoff * Version 0.2 NVML now consists of six libraries: - libpmem (basic flushing, etc) - libpmemblk, libpmemlog, libpmemobj (transactions) - libvmem, libvmmalloc (volatile use of pmem) The "pmempool" command is available for managing pmem files. Man pages for all the above are complete. The only things documented in man pages but not implemented are: - pmem sets (ability to spread a pool over a set of files) - replication (coming for libpmemobj) The pmempool command does not yet support pmemobj type pools. Thu Sep 11 2014 Andy Rudoff * Version 0.1 Initial development done in 0.1 builds
