strxnet-0.9.2.7 Released

[Brian F. G. Bidulock]

strxnet-0.9.2.7 was released January 4, 2006.

This OpenSS7 Project release is another separate release of the
OpenSS7 STREAMS XTI/TLI Library and modules that were formerly
present in the Linux STREAMS package. These networking modules
provide TPI and XTI/TLI Library (libxnet), as well as providing
TPI and XTI header files. The package contains all the
necessary manual pages and other documentation for XTI
components in a separate autoconf tarball.

The current release compiles and tests out (using the included
test suite) against Linux Fast-STREAMS
http://www.openss7.org/streams_pkg.html Preliminary performance
tests of strxnet running on Linux Fast-STREAMS versus LiS show
an significant improvement on Linux Fast-STREAMS.

The OpenSS7 release is available as a tar-ball. See the OpenSS7
Project downloads page http://www.openss7.org/download.html For
SRPMs or RPMs, see the package page at
http://www.openss7.org/strxnet_pkg.html

These components were formerly only contained in the Linux
STREAMS releases, however, this tarball configures, builds and
installs them separately in case you wish to use these
components separate from the OpenSS7 Project Linux STREAMS
releases (e.g., with Linux Fast-STREAMS). Also, the INET driver
has been removed again to its own package (strinet).

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information.
