Package osr61-0.9.2.2 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.

The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package provides STREAMS modules
and drivers, libraries, programs, init scripts, and daemons that
implement the Dialogic(R) Open System Release 6.1 drivers for Linux
Fast-STREAMS.

This is an OpenSS7 Project modified release of the GPL Dialogic(R) OSR
6.1 Release 239 drivers modified for use with Linux Fast-STREAMS.

The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package includes kernel modules,
SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs,
daemons, and development environment for the development and execution
of Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 components and applications for the
SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment. It provides true STREAMS-based Dialogic(R)
OSR 6.1 drivers for Linux.

This is the second release from The OpenSS7 Project of the Dialogic Open
Systems Release 6.1 package and is now part of the OpenSS7 Master
Package (openss7-0.9.2.F). This package provides dlgn, mercd and pmacd
device drivers, as well as a dvbm and sctmr module. Additional drivers
are the gncfd and gpio modules. The package contains all the necessary
manual pages and other documentation for components in an autoconf
tarball.

This release is the second public release.

Major features 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.
- 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 another public alpha release of the package. Please see
README-alpha in the release, or Maturity, in the manual.

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.

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