New upstream stable branch version 1.40.6. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2025-bc02ec32fb 2025-05-26 01:05:37.480117+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : nbdkit Product : Fedora 41 Version : 1.40.6 Release : 1.fc41 URL : https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit Summary : NBD server Description : NBD is a protocol for accessing block devices (hard disks and disk-like things) over the network. nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers. The key features are: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code. * Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee. Lets you to export "unconventional" block devices easily. * You can write plugins in C or many other languages. * Filters can be stacked in front of plugins to transform the output. * Server can run standalone or can be invoked from other programs. 'nbdkit' is a meta-package which pulls in the core server and a useful subset of plugins and filters with minimal dependencies. If you want just the server, install 'nbdkit-server'. To develop plugins, install the 'nbdkit-devel' package and start by reading the nbdkit(1) and nbdkit-plugin(3) manual pages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New upstream stable branch version 1.40.6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat May 10 2025 Richard W.M.
