Package streams-0.9.2.2 was released under GPLv2 on 2007-03-15. The OpenSS7 Linux Fast-STREAMS package is a High-Performance STREAMS framework for Linux that is compatible with SVR 4.2 MP STREAMS and a host of other commercial UNIX(R) STREAMS implementations, with complete debugging and production release capabilities. It is as a high-performance, production replacement for the buggy and now deprecated Linux STREAMS (LiS).
This is the eleventh OpenSS7 Project release of Linux Fast-STREAMS. LiS was fully deprecated as of the previous release and Linux Fast-STREAMS is now the only STREAMS package contained in the OpenSS7 Master Package (since openss7-0.9.2.D). This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent distributions and tool chain. Major features since the last public release are as follows: - Fix for clone open failure locking problems, demand loading of clone minors, an error in clone minor device deregistration, and an error in queue syncrhornization. See BUGS in the release for more information. - Added feature to perform automatic reference counting of modules for the esballoc(9) free routines on Linux 2.6 kernels. See new esballoc(9). - Added versions to all exported symbols. Made LFS unique 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 1.10 and gettext 0.16. - Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels. 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- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel. This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'. The release is available as an `autoconf' tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page (http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the `autoconf' tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs, see the streams package page (http://www.openss7.org/streams_pkg.html).
