Iometer version 1.1.0 released

2014-06-01T21:50:54.584000Z

It has been a while since the last official stable release. So today
we are happy to announce the release of the Iometer 1.1.0 version.

There have been many changes.

Highlights are for instance the libaio support on Linux or the new
timer code on Windows & OS X. Also the data patterns have been extended
and the definition of fixed seeds got added to the random number
generator.

For a complete list of all the changes and bug files being added,
please refer to the CHANGELOG file.

Enjoy,
the Iometer team

IOmeter 1.1.0 Release Candidate available

2010-11-20T07:47:27Z

After a good while, we have a new release of Iometer.

The most obvious change is the versioning scheme. The choice of numbering does not indicate anything major -- just simplifying the numbers.

We do have a good number of useful features implemented, the details of which are forthcoming.

We are also including OSX binaries for the first time. Our hope is to provide more pre-built binaries in the future.

Please keep in mind that this is an release candidate release and we are looking for a wider audience to shake out the uknowns. Not all binaries have been tested equally well.

Finally, I'd like to give huge thanks to allenwa and beverku for the new contributions added in this release.

Thanks and happy banchmarking!
