OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels -- history of user visible changes. 2007-06-24 $Id$ Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation. Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock See the end for copying conditions (for this file). The sections that follow provide information on OpenSS7 releases of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package. Major changes for release strchan-0.9.2.3 ------------------------------------------ This is the third separate release from `The OpenSS7 Project' of the `OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels' package. The package provides components that were previously part of the `strss7' package. With OpenSS7 Master Package release `openss-0.9.2.D', the Channel components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the Channel components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against `Linux Fast-STREAMS' on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis.(1) See `TODO' in the release, or `Schedule', in the manual, for more information about the release schedule. This is the second pre-alpha release for `Linux Fast-STREAMS' and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of `openss7-0.9.2.D'). This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent distributions and tool chains. Major features since the last public release are as follows: - 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. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Note that no component in this package can be supported by `LiS': `LiS' is simply too slow to allow these drivers to acheive any degree of efficiency necessary for proper operation.

This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent distributions and tool chains. Major features since the last public release are as follows: - 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. - The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Note that no component in this package can be supported by `LiS': `LiS' is simply too slow to allow these drivers to acheive any degree of efficiency necessary for proper operation. Major changes for release strchan-0.9.2.1 ------------------------------------------ This is the first separate release from `The OpenSS7 Project' of the `OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels' package. The package provides components that were previously part of the `strss7' package. With OpenSS7 Master Package release `openss-0.9.2.D', the Channel components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the Channel components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against `Linux Fast-STREAMS' on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis.(1) See `TODO' in the release, or `Schedule', in the manual, for more information about the release schedule. In this initial release, the major component first available is the V401P channel driver. In contrast to the X400P-SS7 driver from the `strss7' package, this driver provides enhanced support for audio channels and the basis for Zaptel integration. The release also contains a set of pushable modules for use with the channel driver that provide HDLC/DAEDR capabilities for channels. These components do not as yet have validation test suites. Subsequent releases in 1Q 2007 will include the additional components necessary for Media Gateway switching support. This is the initial pre-alpha release for `Linux Fast-STREAMS' and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of `openss7-0.9.2.D'). This release is also the initial public release. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Note that no component in this package can be supported by `LiS': `LiS' is simply too slow to allow these drivers to acheive any degree of efficiency necessary for proper operation. ----- ========================================================================= Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock All Rights Reserved.
