Major changes for release openss7-1.1.1.20090908
------------------------------------------------
This the third 'OpenSS7 Project' respin of the 'OpenSS7' package. This
is a production grade release. All existing validation test suites run
clean on supported distributions, production kernels and architectures.
The 'OpenSS7' package has undergone significant changes, so follow
closely. In it first incarnation, epoch zero (0), the 'openss7' package
was an add-on package to a now deprecated version of STREAMS. This
changed due to the deprecation of the old versions of STREAMS. In its
second incarnation, epoch one (1), the 'openss7' package contained Linux
Fast-STREAMS and a number of other sub-packages, each capable of
building and installing separately. This changed due to the increasing
maintenance overhead as additional sub-packages were added. In its
latest incarnation, epoch two (2), the 'OpenSS7' package is a monolithic
package containing Linux Fast-STREAMS and most of the other subpackages
in a single build package.
Major feature additions since the last public release are:
- Support for CentOS 5.3 and 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel.
- Support for SLES 10 SP2.
- SNMP agents are more thorough and complete.
- Java JAIN SS7 OAM, MTP, SCCP, TCAP, INAP, MAP, ISUP, ISDN, H.323,
IUA, M3UA, SUA, TUA, SPIRITS components, with JAIN JCC 1.2 and
MSCONTROL.
- Interfaces provided for major scripting languages including Java,
Tcl, Perl and Ruby using Swig.
Major packaging changes since the last public release, epoch one (1),
are:
- The package only compiles with Linux Fast-STREAMS, which is
included.
- Only OpenSS7 Project developed modules, drivers, libraries and
utilities have been included.
- Forks of other test utilities such as Iperf and Netperf have been
removed.
- Sub-package source and installation sub-directories have all been
collapsed into the one 'openss7' sub-directory.
- A single tarball, SRPM and DSC generates a simple set of 3 binary
RPMs or DEBs.
- The entire package is now released under the Affero GNU Public
License Version 3; however, commercial licensing is also available
for the entire package.
Major upgrades from the last public release are:
- Updated build system to 'swig-1.3.39'.
- Updated build system to 'automake-1.11' with full silent build.
- Excluded deprecated sub-packages as follows:
- 'sctp-0.2.27'
- 'iperf-2.0.8'
- 'netperf-2.3.7'
- 'osr61-0.9.2.3'
- Documentation license for all documentation upgraded to GFDL 1.3
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts and no Back-Cover
Texts, for full Debian policy compatibility.
- Updated build system tool chain to 'm4-1.4.13', 'automake-1.10.2',
'bison-2.4.1', 'libtool-2.2.6a', 'texinfo-4.13a'.
- Addition of the following sub-packages:
- 'stratm-0.9.2.1'
This subpackage was then instantly absorbed into the new 'OpenSS7'
package.
- Significant feature updates were made to:
- 'strchan-0.9.2.4'
- 'strsock-0.9.2.4'
- 'strnsl-0.9.2.4'
- 'sigtran-0.9.2.4'
- Significant rework of the 'strchan' sub-package into the 'strss7',
'strisdn', 'strx25' and 'striso' packages. One single driver now
meets the needs of all sub-packages.
- Completion of the 'strsock' package, moves from pre-alpha to beta.
- The 'strnsl' subpackage moves from alpha to production.
- Significant completion of the 'sigtran' package: all components
moved back to production.
Major maintenance items since the last public release are:
- Fixed hash races in open and close. This was service affecting
under heavy open/close loads. (Bug# openss7 006.)
- Fixed reference counting imbalance when entering and leaving
synchronization queues. (Bug# openss7 005.)
- Fixed reference counting imbalance when syncrhonization queues are
used on module. (Bug# openss7 004.)
- Fixed timer reporting in the pstrlog() call resulting in near-epoch
invalid timestamps. This was an annoyance. (Bug# openss7 003.)
- Fixed assurances in untimeout and unbufcall utilities. This could
be service affecting on many-way machines. (Bug# openss7 002.)
- Timer cancellation directly from ICS races removed. This could be
service affecting on many-way machines. (Bug# openss7 002.)
- Corrected removal of SLAP_NO_REAP flag from recent kernels causing
timeout problems on many-way machines under memory pressure. (Bug#
openss7 001.)
For complete detail on maintenance items, see 'BUGS'
(http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/openss7/BUGS) in the release.
_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(8)' (*note (*manpages*)rpm(8)::) and 'dpkg(1)' (*note
(*manpages*)dpkg(1)::) based distributions, and can be used on
production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.
This package is publicly released strictly under the 'GNU Affero General
Public License Version 3'; however, commercial licensing is available.
The release is available as an 'autoconf(1)' (*note
(*manpages*)autoconf(1)::) tarball, SRPM, DSC, and a set of binary RPMs
and DEBs for popular distributions. See the package page

Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.G
-----------------------------------------
This is the sixth public release of the OpenSS7. See 'README' in the
release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the
release are production grade for 'Linux Fast-STREAMS'. All existing
validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and
architectures.
The 'OpenSS7' is not released as often as the sub-packages. As
sub-packages are released more often, to rebuild the master package with
a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the
sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then
rebuild the master package. This release provides support for recent
distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- License upgrade to 'AGPL Version 3'.
- Modifications to build under 'Fedora' '2.6.22.5-49' kernel. These
changes also support '2.6.22.9-91.fc7' kernel. Modifications to

Documented 'lib32gcc1' problem on Ubuntu. Noted problem running
under XEN kernels. XEN kernels are not yet supported. Added
'MODULE_VERSION' to all modules and drivers.
- Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation
primarily for embedded targets. Improvements to common build
process for embedded and cross-compile targets. Cross-compile
fixes (strap out 'AC_FUNC_REALLOC' macro when cross-compiling).
Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major
subpackages.
Build system now builds 'yum(8)' (*note (*manpages*)yum(8)::)
repositories for RPMs and 'apt-get(8)' (*note
(*manpages*)apt-get(8)::) repositories for DEBs. Installation
documentation has been updated to include details of repository
install sourcesref.
- Higher performance and updated performance papers.

Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.F
-----------------------------------------
This is the fifth public release of the OpenSS7. See 'README' in the
release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the
release are production grade for 'Linux Fast-STREAMS'. All existing
validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and
architectures.
The 'OpenSS7' is not released as often as the sub-packages. As

- Support for recent distributions and tool chains.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.E
-----------------------------------------
This is the fourth public release of the OpenSS7. See 'README' in the
release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the
release are production grade for 'Linux Fast-STREAMS'. All existing
validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and
architectures.
It is unlikely that the 'OpenSS7' will be released as frequently as
before. Sub-packages will be released more often. To rebuild the
master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the
directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package
release and then rebuild the master package. This release provides
support for recent distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Addition of the 'osr61' sub-package that contains Dialogic(R) Open
System Release 6.1 version 239 GPL drivers.
- A few minor corrections to the common build process.
- 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 subpackages with a version number as
unpacked by separate tarball.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.D
-----------------------------------------
This is the fourth public release of the OpenSS7. The sub-packages have
been reorganized for this release. See 'README' in the release for a
sub-package listing. Aside from sub-package reorganization, the major
difference from previous release is that this release no longer contains
'LiS'. Too many of the sub-packages will not even build against 'LiS'
because of its Stream head deficiencies.
Most of the sub-packages in the release are production grade for 'Linux
Fast-STREAMS'. All existing validation test suites run clean on
supported distributions and architectures. The packages build better
Debian/Ubuntu .deb files.
It is unlikely that the 'OpenSS7' will be released as frequently as
before. Sub-packages will be released more often. To rebuild the
master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the
directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package
release and then rebuild the master package.
The release provides the following enhancements and fixes:
- Added the following sub-packages to the master build (and release):
- 'strnsl-0.9.2.1'
- 'strbcm-0.9.2.1'
- 'striso-0.9.2.1'
- 'strsock-0.9.2.1'
- 'strtty-0.9.2.1'
- 'strutil-0.9.2.1'
- Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and
timely text documentation present in the release directory.
- This release candidate includes the changes made to the strsctp
drivers at the 2006 SCTP Interop at the University of British
Columbia. This version was interoperability tested with all
implementations present.
- Better support for Ubuntu and recent 'gcc' compilers, including
debian script corrections.
- Support for most recent 2.6.18 kernels (including Fedora Core 5
with inode diet patchset).
- Now builds 32-bit compatibility libraries and tests them against
64-bit kernel modules and drivers. The 'make installcheck' target
will now automatically test both 64-bit native and 32-bit
compatibility versions, one after the other, on 64-bit platforms.
- Added versions to all library symbols.
- Many documentation updates for all OpenSS7 packages.
- Dropped support for 'LiS'.
- Start assigning majors at major device number 231 instead of major
device number 230. Assign major device number 230 explicitly to
the clone device. Package will now support extended ranges of
minor devices on 2.6 kernels under Linux Fast-STREAMS only.
'streams' now supports expanded addressable minor device numbers,
permitting 2^16 addressable minor devices per major device number
on 2.6 kernels: LiS cannot support this change.
- Better detection of SuSE distributions, release numbers and SLES
distributions: support for additional SuSE distributions on ix86 as
well as x86_64. Added distribution support includes SLES 9, SLES 9
SP2, SLES 9 SP3, SLES 10, SuSE 10.1.
- Improvide compiler flag generation and optimizations for recent
'gcc' compilers and some idiosyncratic beahviour for some
distributions (primarily SuSE).
- Optimized compilation is now available also for user level programs
in addition to kernel programs. Added new '--with-optimize' option
to 'configure' to accomplish this.
- Added '--disable-devel' 'configure' option to suppress building and
installing development environment. This feature is for embedded
or pure runtime targets that do not need the development
environment (static libraries, manual pages, documentation).
- Added 'send-pr' script for automatic problem report generation.
- Each package will not build 'doxygen(1)' html documentation with
the 'make doxy' target. See 'make help' or 'README-make' in the
distribution for more information.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.D.rc3
---------------------------------------------
Third release candidate.
- The package will now build doxygen(1) html documentation with the
'doxy' make target. See 'make help' or README-make in the
distribution for more information.
- Now builds 32-bit compatibility libraries and tests them against
64-bit kernel modules and drivers. The 'make installcheck' target
will now automatically test both 64-bit native and 32-bit
compatibility versions, one after the other, on 64-bit platforms.
- Added complete documentation and 'Installation and Reference
Manual' for the 'OpenSS7' (this manual).
- Added the following sub-packages to the master build (and release):
- 'strbcm-0.9.2.1'
- 'striso-0.9.2.1'
- 'strsock-0.9.2.1'
- 'strtty-0.9.2.1'
- 'strutil-0.9.2.1'
- Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and
timely text documentation present in the release directory.
- Dropped support for 'LiS'.
- Sub-packages will now support extended ranges of minor devices on
2.6 kernels under 'Linux Fast-STREAMS' only.
- This release candidate provides support for additional SuSE
distributions on ix86 as well as x86_64. Added distribution
support includes SLES 9, SLES 9 SP2, SLES 9 SP3, SLES 10, SuSE
10.1.
- This release candidate includes the changes made to the strsctp
drivers at the 2006 SCTP Interop at the University of British
Columbia. This version was interoperability tested with all
implementations present.
This was an subscriber release.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.D.rc2
---------------------------------------------
Second release candidate.
This release candidate also contains the results of performance testing
of the new second generation UDP driver (implemented completely in
STREAMS instead of using an internal socket).
This release candidate also contains support for SuSE 10.1.
This was an subscriber release.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.Drc1
--------------------------------------------
First release candidate.
- Release candidate for Mark Fugate.
- Added -enable-devel configure option for embedded targets.
- Added send-pr script for automatic problem report generation.
This was an subscriber release.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.C
-----------------------------------------
Distribution check for entire master package. Trying to get master
package into form where it can be released as a complete package.
This was a public release.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.B
-----------------------------------------
Minor changes for wider release, better master packaging and bug fixes.
This was a public release.
Major changes for release openss7-0.9.2.A
-----------------------------------------
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 release 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.
This was a public release.
Initial release openss7-0.9.2-1
-------------------------------
Initial autoconf/RPM release of the OpenSS7 master package.
This master package contains all other OpenSS7 releases.
