        * Version 1.10

        This release introduces a new stable PMDK library, libpmem2, which
        is the next major release of libpmem.
        This library has an entirely new, but familiar, API that addresses many
        shortcomings of the previous version, while retaining all of its
        functionality. To learn more, see https://pmem.io/pmdk/libpmem2/ or
        libpmem2(7).
        The old library, libpmem, is still going to be maintained for the
        foreseeable future, but we'd like to encourage any new applications to
        leverage libpmem2.

Fri Jul 3 2020 Piotr Balcer <piotr.balcer@intel.com>

        * Version 1.9

        This release:
        - Switches the default instruction set for memcpy, memmove and memset
        implementations on x86 to AVX512, and introduces numerous performance
        improvements for those operations on AVX and SSE2 fallback paths.
        - Optimizes transactional allocations in libpmemobj by avoiding one
        extraneous cache miss and reducing the amount of work required to perform
        a reservation.
        - Introduces a new API in libpmemobj, pmemobj_tx_set_failure_behavior,
        that enables the application to control the behavior of aborting
        transactions.
        - Improves performance of pool creation on Windows by avoiding expensive
        physical page allocation during file allocation.
        - Stabilizes support for ppc64.

        Other changes:
        - pmem: mem[cpy|set] optimization when eADR is available

        - Introduces experimental support for PPC64LE architecture.
        - Introduces new flag in libpmemobj for opting-out of transaction aborts
          on failure (POBJ_TX_NO_ABORT), along with new variants of existing APIs
          that didn't accept flags (pmemobj_tx_xfree, pmemobj_tx_xpublish,
          pmemobj_tx_xlock, pmemobj_tx_xlog_append_buffer, pmemobj_tx_xstrdup,
          pmemobj_tx_xwcsdup).
        - Moves out libvmem and libvmmalloc to the new repository
          (https://github.com/pmem/vmem).

        Other changes:
        - obj: introduce new statistics useful for defrag

Mon Sep 30 2019 Marcin Ślusarz <marcin.slusarz@intel.com>

        * Version 1.7

        This release:
        - 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

Tue Mar 26 2019 Marcin Ślusarz <marcin.slusarz@intel.com>

        * Version 1.6

        This release:
        - Enables unsafe shutdown and bad block detection on Linux
          on systems with libndctl >= 63. It is expected that systems with
          libndctl >= 63 has necessary kernel support (Linux >= 4.20).
          However, due to bugs in libndctl = 63 and Linux = 4.20, it is
          recommended to use libndctl >= 64.1 and Linux >= 5.0.4.
          On systems with libndctl < 63, PMDK uses old superuser-only
          interfaces. Support for old or new interfaces is chosen at BUILD
          time.
        - Introduces arena control interface in pmemobj, allowing applications
          to tweak performance and scalability of heap operations. See
          pmemobj_ctl_get man page ("heap" namespace) for details.
        - Introduces copy_on_write mode, which allows testing applications
          using pmemobj with pmreorder. See pmemobj_ctl_get man page
          ("copy_on_write" namespace) for details.

        Other changes:
        - allocate file space when creating a pool on existing file
          (pmem/issues#167)
        - initial support for testing using fault injection
        - initial Python test framework
        - improve performance of pmemobj_pool_by_ptr

        Bug fixes:
        - common: work around tmpfs bug during pool creation
          (pmem/issues#1018)
        - pool: race-free pmempool create --max-size
        - obj: don't modify remote pools in pmemobj_check

Tue Feb 19 2019 Marcin Ślusarz <marcin.slusarz@intel.com>

        * Version 1.5.1

        This release fixes minor bugs and improves compatibility with newer
        tool chains.

        Notable bug fixes:
        - common: make detection of device-dax instances more robust
        - obj: fix pmemobj_check for pools with some sizes
        - obj: don't use anon struct in an union (public header)
        - obj: fix pmemobj_tx_lock error handling
        - obj: don't use braces in an expression with clang (public header)
        - obj: suppress pmemcheck warnings for statistics

Fri Oct 26 2018 Marcin Ślusarz <marcin.slusarz@intel.com>

        * Version 1.5

        This release has had two major focus areas - performance and RAS
        (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability). Beyond that, it introduces
        new APIs, new tools and many other improvements. As a side effect
        of performance optimizations, the libpmemobj on-media layout had to be
        changed, which means that old pools have to be converted using pmdk-convert.
        libpmemcto experiment has been finished and removed from the tree.

        For more details, please see https://pmem.io/2018/10/22/release-1-5.html.

        New features:
        - common: unsafe shutdown detection (SDS)
        - common: detection and repair of uncorrectable memory errors (bad blocks)
        - pool: new "feature" subcommand for enabling and disabling detection of
          unsafe shutdown and uncorrectable memory errors
        - common: auto flush detection on Windows (on Linux since 1.4)
        - pmreorder: new tool for verification of persistent memory algorithms
        - obj: new on media layout
        - pmem/obj: new flexible memcpy|memmove|memset API

          (EXPERIMENTAL)
        - obj: allocation classes with alignment
        - obj: new action APIs: pmemobj_defer_free, POBJ_XRESERVE_NEW,
          POBJ_XRESERVE_ALLOC
        - blk/log: new "ctl" API

        Optimizations:
        - obj: major performance improvements for AEP NVDIMMs
        - obj: better space utilization for small allocations
        - common: call msync only on one page for deep drain

        Other changes:
        - cto: removed
        - obj: remove actions limit
        - common: new dependency on libndctl on Linux
        - pmempool: "convert" subcommand is now a wrapper around pmdk-convert
          (please see https://github.com/pmem/pmdk-convert)
        - obj: C++ bindings have been moved to a new repository
          (please see https://github.com/pmem/libpmemobj-cpp)

        * Version 1.4
        This is the first release of PMDK under a new name.
        The NVML project has been renamed to PMDK (Persistent Memory
        Development Kit).  This is only the project/repo name change
        and it does not affect the names of the PMDK packages.
        See this blog article for more details on the reasons and
        impact of the name change:

Thu Jul 13 2017 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.3
        This release introduces some useful features and optimizations
        in libpmemobj.  Most of them are experimental and controlled by
        the new pmemobj_ctl APIs.  For details, please check the feature
        requests identified by the issue numbers listed next to the items below.

        Other important changes are related to performance tuning and
        stabilization of librpmem library, which is used by libpmemobj to get
        remote access to persistent memory and to provide basic data replication
        over RDMA.  The librpmem is still considered experimental.

        NVML for Windows is feature complete (except for libvmmalloc).
        This release includes the support for Unicode, long paths and

Tue Feb 21 2017 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.2.1
        This NVML release changes the behavior of pmem_is_pmem() on Linux.
        The pmem_is_pmem() function will now return true only if the entire
        range is mapped directly from Device DAX (/dev/daxX.Y) without an
        intervening file system, and only if the corresponding file mapping
        was created with pmem_map_file().  See libpmem(7) for details.

        Bug fixes:
        - jemalloc: fix test compilation on Fedora 26 (rawhide)
        - test: fix cpp test compilation on Fedora 26 (rawhide)
        - common: use same queue.h on linux and windows
        - common: queue.h clang static analyzer fix
        - common: fix path handling in build-dpkg.sh
        - test: fix match files in pmempool_transform/TEST8

Fri Dec 30 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.2 - Windows Technical Preview #1
        This is the first Technical Preview release of NVML for Windows.
        It is based on NVML 1.2 version, but not all the 1.2 features
        are ported to Windows. In particular, Device DAX and remote access
        to persistent memory (librpmem) are not supported by design.

        NOTE: This release has not gone through the full validation cycle,
        but only through some basic tests on Travis and AppVeyor.
        Thus, it cannot be assumed "Production quality" and should not
        be used in production environments.

        Besides several minor improvements and bug fixes, all the other
        changes since NVML 1.2 release were related to Windows support:
        - win: port libvmem (and jemalloc)
        - win: benchmarks Windows port
        - win: fix mapping files of unaligned length
        - win: clean up possible race condition in mmap_init()
        - win: enable QueryVirtualMemoryInformation() in pmem_is_pmem()
        - test: check open handles at START/DONE
        - test: port all the remaining unit tests
          (scope, pmem_map, obj_debug, util_poolset, pmempool_*)
        - win: add resource files for versioning

        Known issues and limitations of Windows version of NVML:
        - Unicode support is missing.  The UTF/USC-encoded file paths
          or pool set files may not be handled correctly.
        - The libvmmalloc library is not ported yet.
        - The on-media format of pmem pools is not portable at the moment.
          The pmem pools created using Windows version of NVM libraries
          cannot be open on Linux and vice versa.
        - Despite the fact the current version of NVML would work
          with any recent version of Windows OS, to take full
          advantage of PMEM and NVML features and to benefit from
          the PMEM performance, the recommended platforms needs be
          equipped with the real NVDIMMs hardware and should support
          the native, Microsoft's implementation of DAX-enabled file
          system (i.e. Windows Server 2016 or later).
          In case of using NVML with older versions of Windows or with
          the custom implementation of PMEM/DAX drivers, the performance
          might not be satisfactory.  Please, contact the provider
          of PMEM/DAX drivers for your platform to get the customized
          version of NVML in such case.

Thu Dec 15 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.2
        This NVML release causes a "flag day" for libpmemobj.
        The pmemobj pools built under NVML 1.1 are incompatible with pools built
        under NVML 1.2 and later.  This is because an issue was discovered with
        the alignment of locks (pmem/issues#358) and, although rare, the issue potentially
        impacts program correctness, making the fix mandatory.
        The major version number of the pmemobj pool layout and the version
        of the libpmemobj API is changed to prevent the use of the potentially
        incorrect layout.

        Other key changes introduced in this release:
        - Add Device DAX support, providing that "optimized flush" mechanism
          defined in SNIA NVM Programming Model can safely be used, even
          if PMEM-aware file system supporting that model is not available,
          or if the user does not want to use the file system for some reason.
        - Add a package for libpmemobj C++ bindings.
          C++ API is no longer considered experimental.
          Web-based documentation for C++ API is available on https://pmem.io.
        - Add "sync" and "transform" commands to pmempool utility.
          The "sync" command allows one to recover missing or corrupted part(s)
          of a pool set from a healthy replica, while the "transform" command
          is a convenient way for modifying the structure of an existing
          pool set, i.e. by adding or removing replicas.
        - Add experimental support for remote access to persistent memory and
          basic remote data replication over RDMA (librpmem).  Experimental
          support for remote replicas is also provided by libpmemobj library.

        New features:
        - common: add Device DAX support (pmem/issues#197)
        - obj: add C++ bindings package (libpmemobj++-devel)
        - obj: add TOID_OFFSETOF macro
        - pmempool: add "sync" and "transform" commands
          (pmem/issues#172, pmem/issues#196)

        Bug fixes:
        - obj: force alignment of pmem lock structures (pmem/issues#358)
        - blk: cast translation entry to uint64_t when calculating data offset
        - obj: fix Valgrind instrumentation of chunk headers and cancelled
          allocations
        - obj: set error message when user called pmemobj_tx_abort()
        - obj: fix status returned by pmemobj_list_insert() (pmem/issues#226)
        - obj: defer allocation of global structures

        Optimizations:
        - obj: fast path for pmemobj_pool_by_ptr() when inside a transaction
        - obj: simplify and optimize allocation class generation

        Experimental features:
        - rpmem: add support for remote access to persistent memory and basic
          remote data replication over RDMA
        - libpmempool: add pmempool_sync() and pmempool_transform() (pmem/issues#196)
        - obj: introduce pmemobj_oid()
        - obj: add pmemobj_tx_xalloc()/pmemobj_tx_xadd_range() APIs and
          the corresponding macros
        - obj: add transaction stage transition callbacks

Thu Jun 23 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.1
        This NVML release introduces a new version of libpmemobj pool layout.
        Internal undo log structure has been modified to improve performance
        of pmemobj transactions.  Memory pools created with older versions
        of the libpmemobj library must be converted to the new format using
        "pmempool convert" command.  See pmempool-convert(1) for details.

        A new "libpmempool" library is available, providing support for
        off-line pool management and diagnostics.  Initially it provides only
        "check" and "repair" operations for log and blk memory pools, and for
        BTT devices.

        Other changes:
        - pmem: deprecate PCOMMIT
        - blk: match BTT Flog initialization with Linux NVDIMM BTT
        - pmem: defer pmem_is_pmem() initialization (pmem/issues#158)
        - obj: add TOID_TYPEOF macro

        Bug fixes:
        - doc: update description of valid file size units (pmem/issues#133)
        - pmempool: fix --version short option in man page (pmem/issues#135)
        - pmempool: print usage when running rm without arg (pmem/issues#136)
        - cpp: clarify polymorphism in persistent_ptr (pmem/issues#150)
        - obj: let the before flag be any non-zero value (pmem/issues#151)
        - obj: fix compare array pptr to nullptr (pmem/issues#152)
        - obj: cpp pool.get_root() fix (pmem/issues#156)
        - log/blk: set errno if replica section is specified (pmem/issues#161)
        - cpp: change exception message (pmem/issues#163)
        - doc: remove duplicated words in man page (pmem/issues#164)
        - common: always append EXTRA_CFLAGS after our CFLAGS

        Experimental features:
        - Implementation of C++ bindings for libpmempobj is complete.
          Web-based documentation for C++ API is available on https://pmem.io.
          Note that C++ API is still considered experimental.  Do not use it
          in production environments.
        - Porting NVML to Windows is in progress.  There are MS Visual Studio
          solution/projects available, allowing to compile libpmem, libpmemlog,
          libpmemblk and libpmemobj on Windows, but the libraries are not fully
          functional and most of the test are not enabled yet.

Thu Apr 07 2016 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 1.0
        The API of six libraries (libpmem, libpmemblk, libpmemlog,
        libpmemobj, libvmem, libvmmalloc) is complete and stable.
        The on-media layout of persistent memory pools will be maintained
        from this point, and if changed it will be backward compatible.
        Man pages are all complete.
        This release has been validated to "Production quality".

        For the purpose of new features planned for next releases of NVML
        there have been some API modifications made:
                - pmem: pmem_map replaced with pmem_map_file
                - log/blk: 'off_t' substituted with 'long long'
                - obj: type numbers extended to 64-bit
                - obj: new entry points and macros added:
                  pmemobj_tx_errno, pmemobj_tx_lock, pmemobj_mutex_timedlock,
                  TX_ADD_DIRECT, TX_ADD_FIELD_DIRECT, TX_SET_DIRECT

        Other key changes since version 0.4 include:
                - common: updated/fixed installation scripts
                - common: eliminated dependency on libuuid
                - pmem: CPU features/ISA detection using CPUID
                - obj: improved error handling
                - obj: atomic allocation fails if constructor returns error
                - obj: multiple performance optimizations
                - obj: object store refactoring
                - obj: additional examples and benchmarks

        This release also introduces a prototype implementation
        of C++ bindings for libpmemobj.  Note that C++ API is still
        experimental and should not be used in production environments.

Fri Dec 04 2015 Krzysztof Czurylo <krzysztof.czurylo@intel.com>

        * Version 0.4
        This NVML version primarily focuses on improving code quality
        and reliability.  In addition to a couple of bug fixes,
        the changes include:
                - benchmarks for libpmemobj, libpmemblk and libvmem
                - additional pmemobj tests and examples
                - pool mapping address randomization
                - added pmempool "rm" command
                - eliminated libpmem dependency on libpthread
                - enabled extra warnings
                - minor performance improvements
        Man pages are all complete.
        This release is considered "Beta quality" by the team, having
        been thoroughly validated, including significant performance analysis.
        The pmempool command does not yet support "check" and "repair"
        operations for pmemobj type pools.

Sun Sep 13 2015 Andy Rudoff <andy.rudoff@intel.com>

        * Version 0.3
        NVML is now feature complete, adding support for:
                - pool sets
                - pmemobj local replication (active/passive)
                - experimental valgrind support
                - pmempool support for all pool types
        Man pages are all complete.
        This release is considered "Alpha quality" by the team, having
        gone through significant validation but only some performance
        analysis at this point.

        * Version 0.2
        NVML now consists of six libraries:
                - libpmem                            (basic flushing, etc)
                - libpmemblk, libpmemlog, libpmemobj (transactions)
                - libvmem, libvmmalloc               (volatile use of pmem)
        The "pmempool" command is available for managing pmem files.
        Man pages for all the above are complete.
        The only things documented in man pages but not implemented are:
                - pmem sets (ability to spread a pool over a set of files)
                - replication (coming for libpmemobj)
        The pmempool command does not yet support pmemobj type pools.
