Hi everyone
This is to announce version 0.10.0 of Flent: The FLExible Network Tester
(formerly netperf-wrapper).
This is the first release under the new name: I'm hoping not too much
broke in the transition. A list of changes since v0.9.1 is included
below.
To install the release, use `pip install flent`. Arch Linux users can
install through the AUR. Pre-built packages for Debian and Ubuntu are
available from the Open Build Service at
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:tohojo:flent&package=flent
Please report any bugs through Github at https://github.com/tohojo/flent/issues
Thanks,
-Toke
List of changes sine v0.9.1:
- Package installation should now work through `pip` on most platforms.
In addition, two binaries are now installed: `flent` and `flent-gui`.
The latter will launch the GUI directly (corresponding to passing
--gui to the normal `flent` binary).
- The file format has changed. It now uses the .flnt extension and is
bzip'ed instead of gzip'ed. In addition, raw data as parsed from the
underlying test tools is now always included, but it has been moved
outside the 'metadata' key and resides under its own top-level key
('raw_values') in the json object. Finally, the file format is now
explicitly versioned, and a compatibility layer has been added so
Flent will still load the old .json.gz files.
- Test runners can now depend on each other, so one test tool can be
made to run when another finishes. In addition, a 'watchdog' feature
has been introduced to the runners, so one runner exiting can trigger
forceful kill of (an)other runner(s). This can be used along with the
new 'timer' runner to enforce a maximum duration of tests, but can
also be used with an external script to exit on arbitrary events; for
instance when a bandwidth quota is used up.
- Flent should now better handle unicode output from test tools under
different locales. Fixes bugs on OSX in particular, where output from
the `ping` binary can be non-ASCII.
- Flent no longer crashes on broken pipe for text-based output
formatters. Allows doing things like `flent -o csv | head` without
errors.
- A couple of new tests has been added: `rrul_50_down`, `rrul_100_up`
and `dslreports_8dn`.
- A --swap-up-down parameter has been added to swap the meaning of "up"
and "down" when running tests.
- Various bug fixes.
