OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN -- defects. 2007-03-15 $Id$ Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation. Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock See the end for copying conditions (for this file). 5.5 Bugs ======== 5.5.1 Defect Notices -------------------- "OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN" could possibly contain unknown defects. This is a "production" release. Nevertheless, some remaining unknown defects could possibly be harmful. Validation testing has been performed by the `OpenSS7 Project' and external entities on this software for the set of systems listed in the release notes. Nevertheless, the software might still fail to configure or compile on other systems. The `OpenSS7 Project' recommends that you validate this software for your target system before using this software. Use at your own risk. Remember that there is NO WARRANTY.(1) This software is production software. As such, it is stable on validated systems but might still crash your kernel in unique circumstances. Installation of the software on a non-validated distribution might mangle your header files or Linux distribution in such a way as to make it unusable. Crashes could possibly lock your system and rebooting the system might not repair the problem. You can possibly lose all the data on your system. Because this software stands a chance of crashing your kernel, the resulting unstable system could possibly destroy computer hardware or peripherals making them unusable. You might void the warranty on any system on which you run this software. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) See section NO WARRANTY under `GNU General Public License', in the manual. 5.5.2 Known Defects ------------------- With the exception of packages not originally created by the `OpenSS7 Project', the `OpenSS7 Project' software does not ship with known bugs in any release stage except "pre-alpha". "OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN" had no known bugs at the time of release. 5.5.3 Defect History -------------------- This section contains historical bugs that were encountered during development and their resolutions. This list serves two purposes: 1. It captures bugs encountered between releases during development that could possibly reoccur (and the Moon is made of blue cheese). It therefore provides a place for users to look if they encounter a problem. 2. It provides a low overhead bug list between releases for developers to use as a `TODO' list. Bugs ..... This package is not completely implemented yet, so the bugs are still being designed and will not be available until a later date. `001. 2007-03-08T21:09:59-0700' The inital timeout values associated with a freshly pushed M2PA module were being set to HZ based values instead of milliseconds. This did not affect the test program (which explicitly sets the values), but could have affected applications programs on systems where the tick clock is 100 Hz. _*fixed*_ in `sigtran-0.9.2.2' ----- ========================================================================= Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock All Rights Reserved.
