Version 1.2.1 (14 August 2008)

• add support for the libstdc++ parallel_mode (successor of MCSTL), new make targets: library_g++_pmode, tests_g++_pmode, clean_g++_pmode (requires g++ 4.3.2 or later)
• new stxxl file type stxxl::mem_file (for debugging purposes only), helps debugging with valgrind because no memory cell ever leaves valgrind's control
• properly destroy the singleton objects...

Version 1.3.0 (12 August 2010)

• New file types
  • fileperblock_syscall/fileperblock_mmap/fileperblock_boostfd/fileperblock_wincall: Use a separate file for each block, which is accessed by means of the underlying file type. The "filename" given is used as a prefix of the block file names. The advantage of these file types is that unused disk space is freed earlier on the file s...

Version 1.3.1 (10 March 2011)

• Possibly breaking changes
  • No longer open syscall files with O_SYNC|O_DSYNC|O_RSYNC by default when doing direct I/O, to avoid a write performance decrease starting with Linux kernel version 2.6.32. A stxxl::file::SYNC flag has been added to allow forcing the O_*SYNC flags when opening files.
  • Lock files by default (if implemented for this file...

Version 1.4.0 (12 December 2013)

• Reorganized Directory Hierarchy
  • separating old component based directories into lib/ (libstxxl source files), tests/ (for tests cases), examples/ (for tutorial and example code) and tools/ (for stxxl_tool and more benchmarks).
• CMake build system for cross-platform compilation
  • replaced adhoc Makefiles with CMake build system
  • CMake scripts can...

Version 1.4.1 (29 October 2014)

• support kernel based asynchronous I/O on Linux (new file type "linuxaio"), which exploits Native Command Queuing (NCQ) if available. disable/enable with the define STXXL_FILE_LINUXAIO 0/1 via cmake
• adding new disk_config entry device_id, which specifies the physical device id of the "disk" used during prefetching sequence calculations. This used to be id...
