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 and timestamps sysctl settings are now captured as part of the extended metadata.
