Hello everyone,
after a rather long period of development and testing, we are now proud to announce the final release of this new RTnet version. It is again an important step for this project towards a 1.0 release. The list of changes is quite large, but those of you who followed the mailing list over the last months may read about many of the improvements earlier.
The most visible ones may be the reorganisation of the user API which may require slight(!) patches to existing RTnet applications (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4800727&forum_id=24610). Furthermore, you may quickly notice that some new management tools have been added and rtifconfig has been changed. And if you are looking for RTnet's /proc interface, consider /proc/rtnet now.
Here is the complete change log: - ported user API to RTDM (real-time driver model) - revised TDMA API based on RTDM - revised routing system * hash-table-based lookups * removed redundant ARP table * added network routing and forwarding support * loopback routes for non-loopback device IPs * lock protection - added rtroute - revised rtifconfig - added rtping core support and user tool - reordered and extended /proc interface - improved non-real-time locking (devices and various lists) - lock protection of variable socket parameters - added netshm example - reorganised and cleaned up examples directory - various bug fixes * fixed UDP port demultiplexing bug (0.6.2-patch1) * fixed return value of non-blocking receive on empty queue * fixed queue clean-up bug in packet sockets * fixed bug in RTcfg frames on big endian platforms (PPC)
Further announcements regarding projects that run on or include RTnet will follow soon...
At this chance, thanks again to all contributors!
Jan
