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.
