Ehh, yes. And I guess I hadn't sent out an announcement yet. Here it is..
New releases for Coda-6.0.6 & RPC2-1.22
What's new,
RPC2
- Resolved some memory leaks. Nothing serious and it mostly affected
servers that handle many clients that keep changing their local
port numbers because a masquerading firewall is forgetting about
the connection.
This added up to a couple of MB over the period of several weeks
on the testserver, but also resulted in poor performance when new
connections are established. Basically a list of known hosts was
growing unbounded.
Coda
- Fixes for the setup scripts.
- Free dead connections in the auth2 daemon
- We sometimes failed to link the object involved in a reintegration
conflict in the wrong place (child of random file/directory)
reintegration failed. So we knew there was a conflict, but had no
way to actually find it.
- Make sure that we don't confuse conflict related CML entries with
temporary repair related ones. This caused some repairs to fail.
- Avoid venus crash when a file is opened O_CREAT|O_RDONLY.
- Allow volumes to contain up to 512K files (previous limit was 256K).
I already put the tarballs, RedHat-SRPMs and Debian binaries on
ftp.coda, I have also built RH9.0 binary packages and move them to
the ftp site later this afternoon.
