This document is for historical releases. See the auto-generated NEWS document for the latest releases.

2.2.0

• internal cleanups (no public API breakage)

• refactor backend socket/connection handling for reliability

2.1.0

• MySQL interface returns integer length and devcount (API change)

• Ensure store_{content,file} always returns size (API fix)

• Add get_uris API method

• Respect timeout when doing get_file_data

• MySQL interface filters out URLs for down/dead hosts/devices

• Really remove all NFS support

• get_file in slurp mode slurps all output correctly

2.0.2

• README.txt: update documentation URL

• backend: raise exceptions with the error message

• backend: don’t blindly add “Error” to exception class names

• Update Manifest.txt with setup.rb

• tasks to enforce permissions are set correctly

2.0.1

• verify_uris method made more robust

• preliminary Ruby 1.9 compatibility, tests still need some work

• allow store_content to be used with a streamable object of known length

• add setup.rb for non-RubyGems users

2.0.0

• use a set of standard exceptions based on MogileFS::Error, this is an incompatible API change (hence the 2.0.0 version number).

• remove NFS support since it’s gone in MogileFS 2.x and NFS is horrible

• mog timeouts and retries increased

• more consistent handling of bad sockets, all sockets used internally are now explicitly non-blocking and IO.select is used for timeouts instead of using threads behind our backs

• remove open-uri and net/http dependencies, they were bad with large files

• add paths_size() method, allowing single mogilefsd call to get size and paths

• add read-only MogileFS::Mysql driver, allowing mogilefsd to be bypassed

• use TCP_NODELAY when available on sockets that require low latency

• use TCP_CORK on bulk transfers to improve bandwidth usage

• better HTTP error handling

• verify_uris method in new MogileFS::Network module which allows async verification of several URIs at once on the client side.

• handle multiple device failover correctly on HTTP uploads

• initial big_file read support (should be mogtool(1)-compatible)

• unit tests can be run in parallel using GNU Make, 3x faster on a Core2 Duo

• unit tests modified to use real sockets for easier verification of timeout and error condition handling.
