# Change Log
|
||||
|
||||
- [fix] Disable multiversioning on non-x86 platforms, which broke
|
||||
the ARM build.
|
||||
|
||||
- [fix] Due to a bug in the bloom filter code, only half of each
|
||||
64-bit block in the bloom filter was utilized, which reduced the
|
||||
efficiency of the filter. The bug was spotted thanks to `ubsan`.
|
||||
With the fixed filter being twice as effective, the default size
|
||||
of the bloom filter has now been halved.
|
||||
|
||||
- [fix] When exporting metadata using `--export-metadata`, `dwarfsck`
|
||||
was not truncating the output file, which could lead to a corrupt
|
||||
metadata export.
|
||||
|
||||
- [perf] Scanning has been significantly optimized and is up to
|
||||
three times faster now.
|
||||
|
||||
- [perf] A set of micro-benchmarks has been added to evaluate the
|
||||
performance of different filesystem operations. This can be
|
||||
build by enabling the `-DWITH_BENCHMARKS=1` cmake option.
|
||||
|
||||
- [perf] Zstd contexts are now reused during compression, which
|
||||
seems to give some minor speedup.
|
||||
|
||||
- [feature] New metadata format (v2.3). This includes a number of
|
||||
changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Correct hardlink preservation. With older metadata formats,
|
||||
all duplicate files would appear hardlinked. The new format
|
||||
preserves hardlinked files exactly as present in the input
|
||||
data, and performs additional deduplication at a lower level.
|
||||
|
||||
- The new format offers a lot of customization for additional
|
||||
packing of metadata. You can use these to trade off metadata size,
|
||||
mounting speed, etc. Especially for filesystems with millions of
|
||||
files, the metadata size can be reduced significantly.
|
||||
|
||||
- In particular, filename and symlink data can be stored in a
|
||||
[format](https://github.com/cwida/fsst) that reduces the size
|
||||
by roughly a factor of two, but still allows for random access,
|
||||
so the compressed data can be mapped into memory and decompressed
|
||||
on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
- [feature] DwarFS now directly supports images using a custom
|
||||
header. The header can be completely arbitrary. `mkdwarfs` can
|
||||
write, replace or remove such headers, and all other tools can
|
||||
either skip to a specified offset, or determine this offset
|
||||
automatically. This fixes github #38.
|
||||
|
||||
- [feature] `dwarfsck` has been improved to perform extensive
|
||||
metadata checks. Also, checksumming is now done in a thread pool,
|
||||
which significantly speeds up `dwarfsck` for large file systems.
|
||||
|
||||
- [feature] `dwarfsck` now shows a detailed breakdown of metadata
|
||||
memory usage, which can be used to optimize metadata packing
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
- [feature] Added `ENABLE_COVERAGE` cmake option.
|
||||
|
||||
- [test] Compatibility testing with older filesystem versions has
|
||||
been improved.
|
||||
|
||||
- [test] A new test suite has been added to check detection of
|
||||
corrupted DwarFS images.
|
||||
|
||||
- [doc] Added some high level internals documentation for `mkdwarfs`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [doc] Documented the filesystem and metadata formats.
|
||||
|
||||
- [other] Lots of internal cleanups.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Version 0.4.1 - 2021-03-13
|
||||
|
||||
- [fix] Linking against libarchive was fixed so that it also
