36
37 2005-04-08 Version 0.18.4
38
39 * A bug has been fixed in which timeout under extremely heavy load

42
43 2004-11-18 Version 0.18.2
44
45 * Rewrite the usage statement so as to be explicit about disk and memory
46 stress. Improve the Debian packaging.
47
48 2003-08-04 Version 0.18.1
49
50 * The parent now reaps workers immediately and exits with an error if
51 any of the workers encounter a problem. This allows the tool to be
52 used as an automated stress test.

70 processes.
71
72 2003-05-06 Version 0.17pre18
73
74 * This release adds rewritten timeout logic, fixes bugs which caused
75 some errors to not be correctly propagated up the call stack, slightly
76 simplifies the interface, and adds a configure option to produce a
77 statically-linked binary.
78
79 2003-01-07 Version 0.17pre14
80
81 * Many small bugfixes and usability enhancements.
82

91 for `make check'.
92
93 2002-12-06 Version 0.17pre7
94
95 * A complete rewrite. Each option is now handled by a fork, so
96 multiple hogs may be specifed on the same command line. Load average
97 may be brought up to arbitrary value, and all available memory and
98 disk space may be consumed. The GNU autotools are used, and testing
99 has been done on Solaris and GNU/Linux.
