SB v0.9.9 out

[jjjjL]

i noticed a lot of you are emailing me and messaging me that i haven't updated the download page... i'm waiting for the files to be mirrored.. i'll update it when the release is mirrored.

the new SB is out. description on the homepage.

everyone's going to want to upgrade for this... MAJOR performance increase... especially for P4s.

sure enough speeds increased along with the %'s you posted. Great job :)

[Firebirth]

whow! That was fast! - I wondered, if I update now, will I then be able to use my work from 0.98?

[CyberWire]

stop the client run the installer and the next thing you know the client is running and continuing right where it left off at a much faster rate of speed :)

[Alien88]

Yeah, it'll pick up where it left off.. also.. the fbsd client will be out shortly (Hopefully..)

And.. if anyone happens to see the linux client core (0.9.8 was coring on one of my machines), can you please run:

gdb sb core
bt

and paste the output here.. thanks

Woo, even my wimpy K6 machines get a boost out of this one.

Any ETA on the SMB client?

[Alien88]

099 is MUCH faster. It's amazing! Thank you!

[Alien88]

you can grab the smp version here (http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~lhelm/sb-smp.exe)

My P4 2000 Northwood went up to 223 Thingies. This is a great client!

[priwo]

it works great !!!
my P3 + 30%
my P4 + 85%

[mackerel]

Ooh... nice... :notworthy +20% on a PII, +40% on a Tbird, and +70% on a P4... figures are approximate as I didn't leave it that long to settle.

BTW priwo, look out behind you... ;)

[MAD-ness]

Install went incredibly smoothly.

This is somewhat continued from my post in the Linxu 0.9.8 client thread. I decided to unzip the 0.9.9 client into its own directory and run it seperately from my old .9.7 client work. But when I tried to start it up, I got the same segmentation fault error I reported getting in the other thread, so I think it may be an error in the client, it self.

Nobody seems to have commented on this yet, so either its perfect or it isnt popular :)

Just thought I would mention that its absolutely great, and I haven't had a single problem with it. Just a tad slow on my K6-2 400 :eek:

[Alien88]

bug: if the server is down and it cant report an intermediate block it just hangs. you have to exit the client and restart it.

[Frodo42]

Bug:
I'm sadly forced to use an oldfashioned 56K connection :sleepy: and from
time to time leave my computer and let i Crush without me being present, as there is no connection to the internet I check of "Transmit intermedieate blocks" so that it will keep on working even though it can't connect to the server. That works fine.
There only seems to be some weird thing with the timer when i check the box of and on. From time to time I get very weird numbers for time left. Not that it matters but I thought I should report it.

[jjjjL]

Frodo42 - I am aware that the time left is wrong when intermediate blocks are turned off. I'll figure out why soon i hope.


ColinT - i missed your post here... but you got a seg fault with v0.9.7 in linux? this is actually good news because I have been wondering why that client actually didn't seg fault and it's been driving me nuts! I will be releasing a new version for linux that will solve the issue very soon. I have it working, just want to add a few other small improvements first.
