[I rather belatedly realized that this might be of interest to the folks
here. If so, I'll post future release announcements to this list.]
Release 2.16 of Hercules is now available from the usual suspects.
What's new in release 2.16
Release date: 20 April 2002
PER support (Jan Jaeger, Paul Leisy)
S/370 multiprocessor support (Jan Jaeger)
Licensed software restriction (Jan Jaeger, Jay Maynard)
Performance mods (Gabor Hoffer, Juergen Dobrinski, Greg Smith, and
Paul Leisy)
Interrupt subclass priorities (Greg Smith)
dasdcat program (Malcolm Beattie, Roger Bowler)
Updated TCP/IP documentation (Roger Bowler)
CTCI support for Windows (David "Fish" Trout)
Print to unix pipe (Roger Bowler)
Preliminary Lan Channel Station (LCS) support
HTTP server (Jan Jaeger)
Various fixes (as recorded in CHANGES) (Paul Leisy, Matt
Zimmerman, Greg Smith, Volker Bandke, Bernard van
der Helm, David "Fish" Trout)
Note that the performance mods mentioned are some, but not all, of Gabor
Hoffer's work. Expect more in the next release, and soon in the CVS
repository if you're brave enough.
The LCS support is preliminary, and subject to change...but does work now.
As usual, there are more improvements than the major ones listed above. A
lot of work has gone into the system since 2.15 was released last Christmas,
and a lot of folks deserve credit. Complete documentation is in the CHANGES
file in the source release.
