Also, remove the limitation that +an application will never store more than 'size' bytes in each buffer, which +conflicted with `odp_buffer_size()` API. + +=== Helper (1.6.0) +==== Backward incompatible changes +* Remove unused cuckoo table API. +* Remove unused hash table API. +* Remove unused linear table API. +* Remove unused IP lookup table API. +* Remove unused table interface API. + +==== Backward compatible changes +===== Stress +* Add CPU stress functions (`odph_stress_pow2_u32()`, `odph_stress_log2_u32()`, +`odph_stress_sqrt_u32()`, `odph_stress_sqrt_f32()`) which may be used in test +applications to create dummy CPU load. Functions are not highly optimized but +try to stress various parts of CPU instruction set. + +===== String +* Add `odph_strcpy()` function, which guarantees termination of the destination +string. + +===== Thread +* Add `odph_thread_join_result()` function which is similar to the existing +`odph_thread_join()` but outputs results of joined threads. +* Clarify in `odph_thread_create()` specification that the output thread table +elements must not be modified during the lifetime of the threads if +`odph_thread_join()` is used to wait for thread exit. + +=== Example Applications +* Remove `odp_generator` application which has been made redundant by +`odp_packet_gen`. +* Remove `odp_timer_test` application which has been made redundant by +`odp_timer_accuracy`. + +=== Miscellaneous Tests +==== dyn_workers +* Add a simple dynamic worker tester that can be used to verify the ability of +an ODP implementation to dynamically add and remove workers from one ODP +application to another. + +=== Performance Tests +==== l2fwd +* Add `-O, --output_map` option for changing the default output port mappings +for interfaces. +* Add `-C, --tx_compl` option for configuring packet transmit completion. +* Add `-X, --flow_control` option for enabling reception and/or transmission of +Ethernet pause frames. + +==== packet_gen +* Enable running the application with only RX or TX threads. +* Add support for transmitting TCP packets (`-N, --proto`). The application +doesn't implement actual TCP protocol, but simply transmits packets with valid +TCP headers at a selected rate. + +==== pool_latency +* Enable running the application indefinitely with special round count (`-r`) +value `0`. + +==== sched_perf +* Add `-S, --stress` option for selecting stress function(s) to be used on event +data. Functions add various amount of CPU load to each event to simulate +application data processing. +* Rename `-a` option (`--fairness`) to `-F` for better match of short and long +option names. + +==== stress +* Add simple memory copy loop and square root calculation test modes +(`-m, --mode`) to generate CPU load. + == OpenDataPlane (1.44.0.0) === Backward compatible API changes |
