Package strxnet-0.9.2.11 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.

The OpenSS7 XTI/TLI Networking package for Linux Fast-STREAMS is an
implementation of the X/Open Transport Interface or SVID Transport
Layer Interface library in accordance with SUSv2 and XNS 5.2
standards. It consists of user-space libraries (libxnet) and a set of
cooperating STREAMS modules (timod(4) and tirdwr(4)). The STREAMS
module, timod(4), is pushed on any Stream implementing the Transport
Provider Interface (TPI) Revision 1.5 or 2.0.0 service interface and
provides XTI/TLI library access to the transport provider. Definitions
for the Transport Provider Interface (TPI) Revision 2.0.0 are also
provided by header files included in the package.

This OpenSS7 Project release is another separate release of the
OpenSS7 XTI/TLI Networking that were formerly part of the strinet
package. These networking modules provide TPI and XTI/TLI library, as
well as providing TPI and XTI header files. The package contains all
the necessary manual pages and other documentation, including a
reprint of the TPI 1.5 specification, for XTI components. The package
is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux
Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package
(openss7-0.9.2.F).

This release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent
distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

- Dramatic performance improvements enabled by Linux Fast-STREAMS.
Even running the entire XTI library via netperf, all networking
components have show dramatic improvements over Sockets.
- Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
- Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel.
- Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
- Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
- Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
- Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and
2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
- Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
- Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it
deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release
before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and
2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production
kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public
License Version 2'. The release is available as an autoconf tarball,
SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page
<http://www.openss7.org/download.html> for the autoconf tarballs,
SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs,
