Package streams-0.9.2.2 was released under GPLv2 on 2007-03-15.
The OpenSS7 Linux Fast-STREAMS package is a High-Performance STREAMS
framework for Linux that is compatible with SVR 4.2 MP STREAMS and a
host of other commercial UNIX(R) STREAMS implementations, with complete
debugging and production release capabilities. It is as a
high-performance, production replacement for the buggy and now
deprecated Linux STREAMS (LiS).
This is the eleventh OpenSS7 Project release of Linux Fast-STREAMS. LiS
was fully deprecated as of the previous release and Linux Fast-STREAMS
is now the only STREAMS package contained in the OpenSS7 Master Package
(since openss7-0.9.2.D).
This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux
Fast-STREAMS. The release is primarily a maintenance release to support
recent distributions and tool chain.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Fix for clone open failure locking problems, demand loading of clone
minors, an error in clone minor device deregistration, and an error
in queue syncrhornization. See BUGS in the release for more
information.
- Added feature to perform automatic reference counting of modules for
the esballoc(9) free routines on Linux 2.6 kernels. See new
esballoc(9).
- Added versions to all exported symbols. Made LFS unique functions
GPL export.
- Improvements to the common build environment with better support for
standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.
- Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16.
- Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.
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,
see the streams package page (http://www.openss7.org/streams_pkg.html).
See `http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/streams-0.9.2.2/ChangeLog' and
`http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/streams-0.9.2.2/NEWS' in the release
for more information. Also, see the `STREAMS.pdf' manual in the
release (also in html `http://www.openss7.org/STREAMS_manual.html').
