NAME
       nbdkit-release-notes-1.10 - release notes for nbdkit 1.10

DESCRIPTION
       These are the release notes for nbdkit stable release 1.10.  This
       describes the major changes since 1.8.

       nbdkit 1.10.0 was released on 18th January 2019.

   New features
          Implemented	 "NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN"   which   greatly  improves
	   performance for clients that	support	it.

          Implemented "NBD_OPT_INFO" (Eric Blake).

          nbdkit-data-plugin(1) and nbdkit-memory-plugin(1): By adding	 fine-
	   grained  locking,  these  plugins now use the fully parallel	thread
	   model.

          nbdkit-cache-filter(1): The size of the cache can now  be  limited,
	   and	the  cache reclaims space using	an LRU algorithm.  It has also
	   been	enhanced to support cache-on-read mode.	 The filter now	uses a
	   fully parallel thread model.

          nbdkit-cow-filter(1): Use a fully parallel thread model.

          nbdkit-sh-plugin(1):		       Inline		      scripts:
	   https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/nbdkit-inline-scripts/

          nbdkit-sh-plugin(1):	Full API version 2 is now supported.

          nbdkit-ocaml-plugin(3): Full	API version 2 is now supported.

          nbdkit-delay-filter(1)  allows you to specify the read, write, zero
	   and trim delays individually.

          nbdkit-curl-plugin(1): Add support for connecting to	 servers  over
	   Unix	domain sockets.

          Bash	 tab  completion  has  been improved: Partial plugin names are
	   expanded correctly, and plugin parameters containing	"-" work.

          Public header files can now be consumed by ISO C90  compilers  (but
	   GCC or Clang	is still required to compile nbdkit itself).

          A   better	non-cryptographically	secure	 pseudo-random	number
	   generator  (xoshiro256**  1.0)  is  now  used  on  all   platforms,
	   replacing previous uses of random(3).

          Fuzzing  using American Fuzzy Lop is	now supported, and was carried
	   out,	resulting in one error being found in the server (not security
	   related).

          New nbdkit-xz-filter(1): This replaces nbdkit-xz-plugin which  will
	   be removed in nbdkit	1.12.

          New	nbdkit-loop(1) man page	documenting how	to use nbdkit for loop
	   mounts.  See	also: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/nbdkit/

          New nbdkit-full-plugin(1): Returns "ENOSPC" on every	request.

          "attribute((format))",	   "attribute((nonnull))"	   and
	   "attribute((sentinel))"  are	 used  in  internal  header  files  to
	   improve code	quality.

          Logging using %m now	works on all platforms,	not just on Linux with
	   glibc (Eric Blake).

          VPATH builds	partially supported (Eric Blake).
