2021.2.1 Release Notes

New Features

Internal Number	Products	Case Number	Description
VOV-13249	All	CS0120865	A configuration parameter "logs,tasker,compress" (a boolean that defaults to 0) was added that, if set, will cause the daily logs to be compressed at the end of the day. This is similar to the existing "logs,server,compress" parameter. This parameter should be set in the policy.tcl configuration file.
VOV-14345	Accelerator Plus	None	Direct drive now supports vovwxd/config.tcl parameters slave,max and client,derate by pausing base queues when limits are reached. Note that due to the asynchronous nature of Direct Drive, these are soft limits and some overrun is expected.
VOV-14171	Accelerator Plus	None	vovwxd in direct drive mode can now use a driver script for bucket filtering. vovaccel.tcl is an example script and it can be specified in CONFIG(drive_script).
