[curl-loader-devel] [ANNOUNCEMENT] curl-loader 0.24 released

[Robert I. <cor...@gm...>]

>From the ChangeLog:

version 0.24, 06/02/2007

* Smooth mode now respects the interleave timeouts between urls,
   when the timeouts configured to be some values in milliseconds above
   10 msec. This is achived by keeping clients in heap-based timer queue.
   When an interleave timeout is specified as 0, next url or next action of
    such clients is scheduled immediately without timer-queue scheduling.

* Added support for gradual increase of clients number at the loading
   start. Use tag CLIENTS_INITIAL_INC in GENERAL section
   to specify the number of loading clients to be added each second till
   the total client number, specified by CLIENTS_NUM tag.

* The interleave timeout numbers will be interpreted now as milliseconds,
   not seconds as before. Take care to update your configuration files.

* Configuration file parser has been re-designed to be based on
   TAG-tag_parser_func mapping. The big "object-oriented" parsing switch
   has been waived out.

* Advanced to the newest libcurl version 7.16.1 to fix several FTP and
  multi-handle issues

THE NEXT BOMB promised by Michael Moser is the hyper-mode with support
of tens of thousand of clients for a single batch (thread) using
libcurl hyper-API and libevent.
This is what Michael is developing right now.
