Subject: [9fans] neoventi: call for initial testing
Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2025 17:30:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <15FCDAB3D76AF86D4FE56DF4E4BFA5E2@pixelhero.dev> (raw)

My reimplementation of venti[1], presented previously at IWP9, has
gone from "this will DEFINITELY eat your data in the first five
seconds" to "this will probably eat your data in the first five
minutes."

Any brave souls interested in testing it are invited to do so.  I'll
definitely look at any stack traces or bugs or corruption you find,
but I can't promise to be able to recover data.  It'll _probably_ be
recoverable.  Probably.

Use at your own risk, yadda yadda, I'm only starting testing it with
fossil presently, but all the obvious tests I could think of offhand
are passing.

That means that all the remaining bugs are _subtle_, which is _more_
dangerous.
