-README WebStone 2.0.1 bug fix release
- Proxy server bug fixed (now correctly handles proxy server)
- Error reading page_stats error fixed
- More Windows NT integration
- Correctly handles URL's to different hostnames in the filelist
- Improved Solaris compatibility
-
- NOTE: If you intend to run webstone with more than 100 URL
-entries in the filelist, please edit src/bench.h and change the
-MAXNUMOFPAGES value to reflect the higher number, and then recompile
-everything. Copy the new binaries into the bin directory and then
-run webstone.

-README WebStone 2.0 Release version
-
-WARNING: WebStone 2.0 results should not be compared with WebStone 1.1
- results. Even under the same fileset performance will not be
- equivalent.
-
-Please see the notes for 2.0beta6 for quick and dirty install
- This version includes a port of the webstone source code to Windows
-NT. This port is still in progress, so it is not possible to guarantee
-that everything is working correctly - however in our test configurations
-it has performed correctly. Note that the supporting scripts and report
-generating code has not been ported to NT yet.
-
- This version also institutes some basic run rules to eliminate the
-lack of conformity in Webstone performance quotes.
- To report Webstone numbers, some basic rules should be followed:
-
- 1) The fileset used for the test must be the fileset.standard fileset
- included in the distribution. Tests of CGI performance must be
- with the file filelist.cgi-heavy, and tests of NSAPI performance
- must be carried out with filelist.dynamic-heavy
-
- 2) The run time should be set for 10 minutes, and the number of
- clients should vary from 20 clients to 100 clients in increments
- of 10. When a connections/second time is quoted, it must include
- information about the number of clients involved.
-
- 3) Any special TCP/IP tuning which the server has recieved should
- be documented, as well as HTTPD server version and configuration
- information such as logging, DNS lookups and number of threads.

-README - WebStone 2.0beta6
-
-WARNING: Do not compare WebStone 2.0 results with WebStone 1.0 results.
- WebStone 2.0 introduces significant changes in testing methodology
- and reporting.
-
-This is the WebStone benchmark. Quick and dirty install:
- - set up a Web server
- - put this directory (WebStone) on a seperate machine (the "controller")
- - "./webstone -setup", which does the following:
- - gui-configure
- This script may fail if you don't have a Web browser or
- Perl5. Don't worry, unless you want to use the GUI.
- - autoconf
- If the GNU autoconf fails for your OS, please forward the
- error messages, and any porting hints, to the author.
- - make install
- This may not be necessary, since IRIX binaries are included.
- - edit conf/testbed to reflect your site
- See the doc/FAQ-webstone.html for details.
- - ./webstone -genfiles will put the files in conf/fileset
- onto your Web server.
- - ./webstone
- - to display a table of results: ./webstone -results
-
-If you'd like to try out the GUI for WebStone:
- - run "./webstone -setup", as above.
- - make sure you have a Web browser installed
- - ./configure
- - ./webstone -gui

-Release Notes (2.0 beta6):
- * fixed a bug for Web servers not on port 80
- * further changes to bin/wscollect.pl
-
-Release Notes (2.0 beta5):
- * numerous minor fixes suggested by gcc -Wall -pedantic
- * updated FAQ
- * changed bin/wscollect.pl to use Perl formats
-
-Release Notes (2.0 beta4):
- * added #include <sys/time.h> to bench.h
- * changed webclient located to $TMPDIR - this should help people
- who don't want to run WebStone as root
- * changed check for libm to floor() instead of sqrt(). Apparently
- some systems implement sqrt() in libc - let's hope no one implement
- floor() in libc and sqrt() in libm!
-
-Release Notes (2.0 beta3):
- * more portability fixes
- * successfully compiled on FreeBSD 2.2, IRIX without any source
- changes
-

- * fixed a bug in the usage() routine of webmaster.c
- * added bin/genfiles-from-filelist.sh
- - bin/genfiles-from-filelist.sh <filename>
- - generates appropriate-length files from <filename>
- - <filename> must contain three fields:
- <relative URL> <weight> #<size in bytes>
- example: /file.html 1 #1024
- * added bin/mine-logs.pl
- - usage: mine-logs.pl <filename>
- where <filename> is an http server log file
- - writes a WebStone workload to standard output
-
-Release Notes (2.0 alpha5):
- * revised default testbed file
- * changed wscollect to wscollect.pl for consistency
- * changed webstone-gui to webstone-gui.pl for consistency
- * added some NT porting hints
- * added autoconf, which should help Linux and SunOS porting
-
-Release Notes (2.0 alpha4):
- * added SunOS and Linux portability elements
- * new scheme for random access to pages
- * converted several static arrays to dynamic pointers
-
-Release Notes (2.0 alpha2):
- * fixed per-page statistics

-Release Notes (1.1):
- * Improved webclient performance by combining GET and ACCEPT
- HTTP headers in one write() call.
- * Improved webclient performance on systems that always attempt
- to map protocol names to numbers using YP.
- * WARNING: since the old code introduced a significant latency
- in some systems, DO NOT compare WebStone 1.1 results
- with results generated by any previous versions.
-
-Release Notes (1.0.3):
- * Netscape Server 1.1.2 exposed a couple bugs, which I've now fixed.
-
-Release Notes (1.0.2):
- * Fixed runbench so that ITERATIONS, MINCLIENTS, and MAXCLIENTS don't
- have to have a common denominator any more.
- * Fixed a few cosmetic bugs.
-

- * Fixed select() bug in webmaster
-

-
-Release Notes (1.0b3):
- * New Web browser GUI
- NOTE: most Web browsers take up substantial CPU time.
- If you run the GUI, we recommend that you make the controller
- a separate machine, and don't run any WebStone clients on it.
- * Minor bug fixes
- Squashed some dubious error messages, fixed some client-
- controller communications problems.
- * Reporting changes
- Changes the units and order of the final summary statistics.
- Basically, this is for my own convenience, so I don't have to
- massage the data quite so much before using it. wscollect
- now reports only the metrics I regard as important - but all
- metrics are still reported in the runs/*/run files.
