Flent v0.11.0
This is release 0.11.0 of Flent: The FLExible Network Tester.
Flent can be installed via pip by issuing pip install flent
, or on Arch Linux through the AUR. Pre-built packages are available for Debian and Ubuntu at https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:tohojo:flent&package=flent.
This release fixes a couple of issues discovered after the release of v0.10.0:
- The file format extension has changed to
.flent
as plain-text JSON files, with optional compression as.flent.gz
and.flent.bz2
. The default output is.flent.gz
. - Data files are no longer written to the current working directory by default. Instead, they are written to the system TMPDIR. A new switch,
-D
controls the location of the data files. Run with-D .
to retain the old behaviour. This can also be set from the rcfile to have a default directory to store all data files. - Name clash issues in the Debian packaging preventing the
flent
binary from working has been fixed. - The
notsent_lowat
,limit_output_bytes
andtimestamps
sysctl settings are now captured as part of the extended metadata.
