Netperf 2.4.5 is released

Folks -

It has been entirely too long, but I've finally declared the release
of netperf 2.4.5. You can obtain the sources either via subversion
from:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/tags/netperf-2.4.5

or you can obtain either a compressed tar or zip file from:

ftp://ftp.netperf.org/netperf

where you may chose from netperf-2.4.5.tar.bz2, netperf-2.4.5.tar.gz
and netperf-2.4.5.zip.

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/.../Release_Notes

contains a synopsys of changes in 2.4.5

happy benchmarking,

rick jones

I'm curious please ... for a "new release", why are the files dated
06/12/2008, a full one year ago?

Probably an error in date setting on netperf.org - I'll go check...

Nope, the date is correct at least at the shell:

www:/home/ftp/netperf# date
Thu Jun 11 18:12:00 PDT 2009

and when I svn co the bits myself they get current dates. Something
somewhere else must be amis I guess.

BTW, did I botch the "Followup-to:" header or did your newsreader
ignore it?
