Severity: MEDIUM
Backward-Incompatible changes:
-
-* [Bug 2817] Default on Linux is now "rlimit memlock 0".
+* [Bug 2817] Default on Linux is now "rlimit memlock -1".
While the general default of 32M is still the case, under Linux
- the default value has been changed to 0 (do not lock ntpd into
- memory). If your ntp.conf file has an explicit "rlimit memlock"
+ the default value has been changed to -1 (do not lock ntpd into
+ memory). A value of 0 means "lock ntpd into memory with whatever
+ memory it needs." If your ntp.conf file has an explicit "rlimit memlock"
value in it, that value will continue to be used.
* [Bug 2886] Misspelling: "outlyer" should be "outlier".
from 'outlyer' to 'outl[iy]er'.
New features in this release:
+* 'rlimit memlock' now has finer-grained control. A value of -1 means
+ "don't lock ntpd into memore". This is the default for Linux boxes.
+ A value of 0 means "lock ntpd into memory" with no limits. Otherwise
+ the value is the number of megabytes of memory to lock. The default
+ is 32 megabytes.
+
+* The old Google Test framework has been replaced with a new framework,
+ based on http://www.throwtheswitch.org/unity/ .
