All releases of bfr


Release Notes: A "total" field was added to the progress bar. Various bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: Fixes for various bugs and ugliness, reader-side forkoff support (for buggy nonblocking implementations that still hang if reading from NFS or a scratched CD), and a new --output option.


Release Notes: Progress bar screen-update fixes and minor debianization cleanups were added.


Release Notes: A bug in the progress bar was fixed, and some lintian and automake warnings were removed.


Release Notes: An --initial (special case of --minimum, for initial prebuffering) was incorporated. A bug causing bfr/bfp to sometimes hang in a CPUloop, instead of exiting at end of execution was fixed. The status bar was completely reworked, as well as most of the command-line arguments, to allow consistent use of suffixes.


Release Notes: This release fixes a minor bug which occasionally put bfr in a tight loop rather than exiting, after its job was finished.


Release Notes: A fix for trampling the progress bar code bandwidth limiting support was added, and cleanups to the documentation and the debian/ build stuff.


Release Notes: A fix for a potential bug regarding SIGSTOP/SIGCONT data garbling, a namechange to avoid conflicting with other similar packages (buffer is now known as bfr, and bufplay is bfp), and new RPM specfile and Debian packages are available.


Release Notes: A bandwidth limiter was added to help prevent network saturation. The documentation was cleaned up a little.


Release Notes: bufplay is merged back in, a manpage finally exists, some code cleanups, and a read() size cap (hopefully this will solve latency problems when files on slow media [NFS or CDROM] are accessed directly).
