NEWS: Advisory note added concerning the generic testability of the -ORBPreferredInterfaces feature.
orbsvcs/tests/Miop/McastPreferredInterfaces/run_test_ipv6.pl, run_test.pl: Stop these tests from erroring due to possible problems in loop back feature. This test is effectively for information purposes.

This has been observed to be required for the UIPMCAcceptor to open on the most recent Linux distribs. + + NOTE that there is an obvious elephant in the room in testing this option, + we can't rely on any build/test machine having more than one (or any?) + interfaces so the test (TAO/orbsvcs/tests/Miop/McastPreferredInterfaces), + such as it is, is relying on side effects which may not hold for all platforms. + Additionally the IPv6 behaviour isn't even consistent across platforms and + the build machines can't be relied upon to have a 'proper' (non-zero conf + link local) IPv6 configuration. Basically, if you want some confidence this is + actually working I'd advise testing this option before you use it, running it + on a machine with multiple interfaces with the debug level turned up. . Enhanced the MIOP implementation; this protocol now supports MIOP message fragmentation which is controlled via the new MIOP_Strategy_Factory. |
