Hello,
no important bug fixes but some extensions to the RTcfg service motivated this new release. As earlier announced, RTcfg now comes with the full functionality required for future use in a hot-pluggable RTnet (will require TDMA-V2). This feature is currently of minor use, but you may already assign IPs to your clients based on their MAC addresses, detect when a client fails, or have a look at the detailed /proc output of RTcfg.
Here is the list of changes: - extended RTcfg * heartbeat support for clients * client failure detection and notification * server restart after failures * IP assignment to clients based on hardware addresses * verbose /proc interface - clean up loopback route when non-loopback interface goes down or changes IP
Next steps will deal with a source tree restructuring in order to prepare kernel 2.6 support, an experimental select_rt function for RTnet sockets (actually, for any driver based on RTDM), and the new TDMA discipline. A specification for TDMA-V2 is almost finished and will be published on this list - together with a request for contributions in order to make it run soon.
