Hi all, I just released nbd 3.12.
The following changes exist in this release:
- The remainder of oldstyle was removed. This results in:
- inetd mode should work again, now using the default export name in the
newstyle protocol
- when specifying an export on the server command line or not specifying
a name on a client command line, the newstyle protocol is used with
the default export name (but a warning will be produced stating that
oldstyle is no longer supported)
- All traces of oldstyle (except a few error messages) have been removed
- Bug fixes:
- We now listen on IPv4 and IPv6 by default, regardless of what the
system's configuration is like, by explicitly listening both on
0.0.0.0 and ::.
- Some bugs in the handling of the TRIM command have been removed
- nbd-client now uses readit() in the negotiation, rather than plain
non-retrying read().
- New features:
- It is now possible to listen on multiple addresses; the "listenaddr"
parameter has been changed into a comma-separated list of addresses
to listen on
- nbd-client now supports an nbdtab file, which allows connecting a
device by just using the device name
- nbd-server now uses a GThreadPool to implement asynchronous handling
of requests
- Punching holes on files is now supported on cygwin, too.
Get it at the usual place.
NOTE: while preparing this release, I accidentally removed
nbd-3.11.tar.gz from the nbd-3.11 directory. I found a nbd-3.11 file
that I still had lying around, and *think* it's the same file with the
same checksum, but I have no way to check, so for now I'm going to leave
it removed.
If that's causing issues for someone, and that someone does have a copy
of the original, that'd be welcome. If not, meh.
