[Nbd] 3.15 released

[Wouter Verhelst <w@...112...>]

Hi folks,

Subject says it all, really: I've just released NBD 3.15.

Changes since 3.14:

New features:
- Implement NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES, for efficiently writing large numbers
  of zeroes (server side implementation only)
- (optional) support for NBD_OPT_STARTTLS, using GnuTLS.
- Support for multiplexing commands over multiple connections, for
  improving performance (requires Linux 4.10 or above).
- Support for using splice(), also for improving performance
- Protocol errors during negotiation now are accompanied by a
  human-readable error string.
Bug fixes:
- Fix the handling of maxconnections, so that it is not a global setting
  (over all exports) but rather a per-export setting.
- Fix handling of unknown options sent to the server. Previously we
  would desync from the protocol, causing another error and a
  disconnect.
- Produce a log message when the address family of the client socket
  does not match the expected address family in the authfile handling. A
  proper fix would convert IPv4 sockets to v6-mapped v4 sockets, but
  that's much more complicated.
- and various other minor fixes too small to mention here; see the
  changelog

Get it at the usual place.

Regards,

       people in the world who think they really understand all of its rules,
       and pretty much all of them are just lying to themselves too.
