OpenSS7 strsctp -- history of user-visible changes. 2006-03-01 NEWS,v 0.9.2.9 2006/03/03 11:46:58 brian Exp Copyright (c) 2001-2006 OpenSS7 Corporation Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock See the end for copying conditions (for this file). * Major chages in strsctp-0.9.2.5 This release is primarily to support additional compilers (gcc 4.0.2), architectures (x86_64, SMP, 32-bit compatibility), recent Linux distributions (EL4, SuSE 10, LE2006, OpenSuSE) and kernels (2.6.15). - Changes necessary for __LP64__ compatible builds. Changes to support 32-bit ioctl compatibility for __LP64__ architectures. Binary compatibilty should not have been disrupted. At the same time as the ioctl32 changes, TRANSPARENT ioctl support for most of the IO controls for the ldl(4) driver has been added. - Changes to satisfy gcc 4.0.2 compiler. - Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on x86_64 architecture. Some bug corrections resulting from gcc 4.0.2 compiler warnings. - Corrected build flags for Gentoo and 2.6.15 kernels as reported on mailing list. - Initial corrections for and testing of SMP operation on Intel 630 Hyper-Threaded SMP on x86_64. This package should now run well on N-way Xeons even with Hyper-Threading enabled. - Corrections and validation of 32-bit compatibilty over 64-bit on x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well. This is a public alpha release of the package. * Major chages in strsctp-0.9.2.4 This is primarily a bug fixes release and corrections resulting from testing. This is a major bug fix release. The previous release was largely untested. This release has been verified (conformance test suite passes) for operation with Linux Fast-STREAMS (streams-0.7a.4). * Major chages in strsctp-0.9.2.3 With this release version numbers were changed to reflect an upstream version only to be consistent with other OpenSS7 package releases. All `RPM' release numbers will be `-1$(PACKAGE_RPMEXTRA)' and all `Debian' release numbers will be `_0'. If you wish to apply patches and relelease the package, please bump up the release number and apply a suitable release suffix for your organization. We leave `Debian' release number `_1' reserved for your use, so you can still bundle the source in the `.dsc' file. Major changes for this release include build against Linux 2.6 kernels and popular distributions based on the 2.6 kernel as well as wider distribution support. The package also supports both `LiS-2.18.1' as well as `streams-0.7a' on both kernels. * Major chages in strsctp-0.9.2-2 Not publicly released. * Initial release strsctp-0.9.2-1 Initial autoconf/RPM packaging of the `strsctp' release. Not publicly released. ----- ========================================================================= Copyright (c) 2001-2006 OpenSS7 Corporation Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock All Rights Reserved.
