For example, + a program can be started regularly, and after 5 minutes run-time + it will be sent two years into the future. Those limiting + start and stop times can be specified in seconds or as the + number of any time-related function calls within the program. + - Added a feature to spawn an external process after x seconds + or y time-related system calls. This can, for example, be used + to execute an arbitrary shell script x seconds after a program + has been started. + +Since 0.8.1: + - Added a MacOS port. + Thanks to Daria Phoebe Brashear! + - Added a functional test framework that aids in automatically + determining whether libfaketime works properly on the current + machine. Thanks to Don Fong! + +Since 0.8: + - Changed directory layout and Makefile structure. + Thanks to Lukas Fleischer! + +Since 0.7: + - Added support for fstatat() and fstatat64() which were introduced in + Linux kernel 2.6.16 and used in recent coreutils. + Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for the report! + This can be disabled by passing -DNO_ATFILE in the Makefile. + - Added a simple wrapper shell script and a man page for it. Makes it + easier to run commands under faked system times. It assumes that the + libraries will be copied to /usr/lib/faketime during installation, + please adjust this path if necessary. The "install" target in the + Makefile has been adapted accordingly. + - Added support for fractional time offsets, such as FAKETIME="+1,5h". + Please note that either , or . has to be used as a delimiter + depending on your locale. Thanks to Karl Chen! + - Added support for speeding the clock up or slowing it down. For + example, FAKETIME="+5d x2,0" will set the faked time 5 days into + the future and make the clock run twice as fast for the specified + program. Slowing it down can be done e.g. by using FAKETIME="+0 x0,5". + Again, the delimiter to use for the fraction depends on your locale. + Thanks to Karl Chen! + +Since 0.6: + Main version 0.7 contributions by David North, TDI: + - Added ability to 'start clock at' a specific time. + - Added pthread synchronization support + - Added a 2 second delay to timetest.c so one can observe if the + clock is relative or absolute + - Added test.sh example of 'start clock at' + - Added ability to disable the FAKE_STAT functionality at library-start + in the case that the library was compiled -DFAKE_STAT, and added another + test case for demonstrating this + - Repaired a bug w.r.t. strptime/mktime wherein 'isdst' was uninitialized + which led to pseudorandom +/- 1 hour results being returned in 'start at' + or absolute time modes + + Other enhancements: + - Fixed missing interceptions to libc-internal functions and added notes + about a workaround for running Java programs with faked times in the + future (they worked properly, but often locked up at exiting). Thanks to + Jamie Cameron of Google for in-depth analysis and prototype solution! + +Since 0.5: + - Performance enhancements by means of caching the data read + e.g. from $HOME/.faketimerc for 10 seconds. + - Several file timestamp related system calls such as fstat() will be + intercepted now. See the README file on how to turn this off if you + do not need it. Thanks to Philipp Hachtmann! + - A system-wide /etc/faketimerc file will now be used if no FAKETIME + environment variable has been set and no $HOME/.faketimerc is present. + Thanks to David Burley, Jacob Moorman, and Wayne Davison of + SourceForge, Inc.! + - Added trivial Makefile targets clean/distclean/install + - Changed Makefile target test to run new test.sh script + - Added new test cases to timetest.c + +Since 0.4: + - Allow "y" for years of offset specification. Thanks to Bas ten Berge! + +Since 0.3: + - Support for FAKETIME_FMT environment variable. Thanks to Moreno Baricevic! + +Since 0.2: + - Intercept clock_gettime(). Thanks to Andreas Thienemann! + +Since 0.1: + - Fixed segfault when calling time(NULL). Thanks to Andres Ojamaa! + - Added additional sanity checks. |
