This is another public alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release, or Maturity, in the manual.

The OpenSS7 Master Package 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:

• Staggering performance improvements. Corrections and performance tuning of the Linux Fast-STREAMS package has had performance improvements across the board in the subpackages. Linux Fast-STREAMS and its subpackages now run up to 6 times faster than before. Linux Fast-STREAMS is now running 25 times faster than the deprecated (and darn slow) LiS. See the STREAMS, UDP, TCP and SCTP performance pages for more information on this performance breakthrough.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 and 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.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The release includes maintenance support for recent distributions and tool chain, but also includes some performance and feature upgrades and inspection bug fixes.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Significant performance improvements. STREAMS-based pipes in the package now perform a staggering 2 to 5 times (%200 to %500) faster than the old legacy 4.1BSD/SVR3 Linux pipes currently in the kernel. See the STREAMS Performance page for more information.
• The impact of these performance changes is that Linux Fast-STREAMS now runs faster and looser on SMP systems: if your drivers have race conditions they will likely be exacerbated by this version.
• Significant rework of the Stream head and both enabling and back-enabling utilities. Handling of enabling flags QWANTR and QWANTW were not being performed quite properly. Also, service procedures for the read side stream head read queue was added to defer wake-ups when possible. The result is the very significant observed performance improvements (as though it was not fast enough already).
• The strace(8), strerr(8) utilities and log(4) driver have had some corrections. The STREAMS trace logger is now an excellent way for trace logging of fielded production drivers. A number of OpenSS7 drivers have already been converted to use this facility.
• Significant rework of STREAMS synchronization. OSF/1 Mentat style synchronization levels, Solaris style perimeters, and SVR 4.2 style load refusal are fully supported. Some idiosyncrasies of AIX, HP-UX, MacOT and VxWorks are also supported.
• Corrected a few bugs. See BUGS in the release for more information.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 and 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.

With OpenSS7 Master Package release openss7-0.9.2.D, the ISDN components were separated from the strss7 package and placed in this package. Not all of the ISDN 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. See TODO in the release, or Schedule, in the manual, for information about the release schedule.

The major component first available is LAPD. lapd(4) is a pushable STREAMS module that is pushed over a cdi(4) HDLC channel to form an ISDN Q.931 link providing the Data Link Provider Interface (dlpi(7)). A complete test suite will be available in a further release.

Subsequent releases in 1Q 2007 will include the additional full ISDN Q.931, Q.933, GR-303 and V5.2 drivers with conformance test suites.

Do not use this release. Port to Linux Fast-STREAMS. Do not report bugs on this release. (Yup, there are lots of 'em, but that's LiS.)

Major changes for release LiS-2.18.5

• Added versions to all exported symbols. Made LiS 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 2.10 and gettext 0.16.

A large number of additional tests cases were found to fail on x86_64 and SMP architectures making the LiS packages largely unusable, especially on 64-bit or SMP kernels.

Deprecated and unmaintained. Download the latest streams package version instead.

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 Master Package 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-0.9.2.2
• striso-0.9.2.1
• strsock-0.9.2.1
• strtty-0.9.2.1
• strutil-0.9.2.4
• 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, as well, 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 versioning of all library symbols.
• Many documentation updates for all OpenSS7 packages. Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and timely text documentation present in the release directory.
• Dropped support for LiS.
• Updated init scripts for proper addition and removal of modules.
• 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.
• Improved compiler flag generation and optimizations for recent gcc compilers and some idiosyncratic behaviour 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 now build doxygen(1) html documentation with the doxy make target. See make help or README-make in the distribution for more information.

• The package now builds a replacement libLiS and libpLiS library so that user applications written to work with LiS-2.18.1 through LiS-2.18.4 do no need to be recompiled. Added versioning of all library symbols in all three libraries.
• Minor bug fixes to STREAMS library. isastream(3) and fattach(3) must not contain an asynchronous thread cancellation point, but they could. Added asynchronous thread cancellation protection to these functions to remove any thread cancellation points.
• Additional features supported in all packages (see master package release notes).

Unfortunately, this is a public release and has been stripped of most of its components.

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). It includes:

• Changes necessary for __LP64__ compatible builds. Changes to support 32-bit ioctl compatibility for __LP64__ architectures. Binary compatibility 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 compatibility over 64-bit on x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well.

This release has been performance tested (see the results) and conformance tested (see the results) and tested in comparison with LiS. Linux Fast-STREAMS> far exceeds LiS in every dimension. Linux Fast-STREAMS is upt to seven (7) times faster, one eighth (1/8) the size, and conforms far better to POSIX/SUSv3 standards. Linux Fast-STREAMS is already more stable that LiS on 64-bit, SMP kernels, and SMP platforms, and does not lock up on UP kernel where LiS does.

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). It includes:

• Changes to wait queues. Split single wait queue into four independent wait queues. Reworked wait queues for both old style (2.4) and new style (2.6) semantics.
• 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.
• Build and run tested on FC4 i686 and x86_64 kernels based on 2.6.15.
• 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 compatibility over 64-bit on x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well.

• 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. Builds on FC4 2.6.15 kernel and with gcc 4.0.2.
• Added in many of Paul's 64-bit corrections.

This is an unstable public alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release.

This release, as the release before it, suppresses versioning of LiS exported symbols and restores to a large degree binary compatibility of interface functions with LiS 2.18.0. It again contains the pipe performance programs an POSIX conformance test suite used with Linux Fast-STREAMS for comparison testing between LiS and Linux Fast-STREAMS. These programs were used to generate the comparison performance test results and conformance test results.

A large number of additional tests cases were found to fail on x86_64 and SMP architectures making the LiS packages largely unusable, especially on 64-bit or SMP kernels.

Deprecated and unmaintained. Download the latest streams package version instead.
