Releases · pmem/pmdk

Introduces new APIs in libpmemobj for managing space used by transactions.
(see pmemobj_tx_log_append_buffer man page for details)
Introduces new APIs in librpmem, splitting rpmem_persist into rpmem_flush
and rpmem_drain, allowing applications to use the flush + drain model
already known from libpmem. (libpmemobj does not use this feature yet)
Optimizes large libpmemobj transactions by significantly reducing
the amount of memory modified at the commit phase.
Optimizes tracking of libpmemobj reservations.
Adds new flags for libpmemobj's pmemobj_tx_xadd_range[_direct] API:
POBJ_XADD_NO_SNAPSHOT and POBJ_XADD_ASSUME_INITIALIZED, allowing
applications to optimize how memory is tracked by the library.

To support some of the above changes the libpmemobj on-media layout had
to be changed, which means that old pools have to be converted using
pmdk-convert >= 1.7.

Other changes:

obj: fix merging of ranges when NOFLUSH flag is used (pmem/issues#1100)
rpmem: fix closing of ssh connection (pmem/issues#995, pmem/issues#1060)
obj: abort transaction on pmemobj_tx_publish failure

Internal changes:

test: fault injection tests for pmemblk, pmemlog, and pmemobj
test: improved Python testing framework
test: support real pmem in bad blocks tests
common: allow not building examples and benchmarks
