Package striso-0.9.2.3 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.

OpenSS7 ISO Stack (striso) is an OpenSS7 Project implementation of
various Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) International Standards
Organization (ISO) networking components for Linux Fast-STREAMS.

This release is a separate release of the OpenSS7 ISO Stack package.
Some of the components in this package were formerly present in the
strss7 package. Various networking drivers are provided as well as
CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and XTI header files for ISO/OSI operation. The
package contains the necessary manual pages and other documentation
for ISO/OSI components in a separate autoconf tarball. This release is
a pre-alpha release, and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master
Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.D).

This release is the third open source release of the OpenSS7 ISO Stack
package. Some of the components in this package were formerly present
in the strss7 package. Various networking drivers are provided as well
as CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and XTI header files for ISO/OSI operation. The
package contains the necessary manual pages and other documentation
for ISO/OSI components in a separate autoconf tarball.

This is the second alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of
the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F).

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

- Dramatic performance improvements enabled by Linux Fast-STREAMS.
- 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 alpha release of the package. This package is
currently incomplete. It is being released as a reference point for
the community. If you are interested in completion of this package,
contact <mailto:***@openss7.com>.

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.

License Version 2'. The release is available as an autoconf tarball,
SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page
