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

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package provides STREAMS modules and
drivers, libraries, programs, initialization scripts, and daemons.

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package contains header files and a number
of modules and drivers and the associated documentation originally
contained in the Linux Fast-STREAMS release, but not contained in the
Linux STREAMS (LiS) releases.

This OpenSS7 Project release is the third separate release of the
OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package whose components were formerly part of
the strss7, strxnet and streams packages. These networking modules
provide the Sockets library. The package contains all the necessary
manual pages and other documentation. The package is packaged as an
OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is the third alpha 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 supporting recent distributions and
tool chains.

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.

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,
