Added support for GCC 4.6 + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-6.0.1 and ACE-6.0.2 +==================================================== + +. The ACE_wrappers/ace/OS.h file has been restored in order to ensure + build-time compatibility with older ACE versions. Its use will still + cause your build to incur more processing time than using the needed + ace/OS_NS_*.h files; however, you should be able to build OS.h-including + code without needing to replace it with OS_NS_* includes. + +. Improved and simplified QNX support + +. Changed rand_r() and getpwnam_r() to conform Single UNIX Specification. + +. Fixed performance of send_v on windows when individual iovec elements + are particularly large. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-6.0.0 and ACE-6.0.1 +==================================================== + +. Added support for MinGW with GCC 4.5 + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.8.3 and ACE-6.0.0 +==================================================== + +. Changed the string format produced by ACE::timestamp() from the ctime + format "Day Mon dd hh:mm:ss yyyy" to ISO-8601 yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmmmmm. + This makes the time easier to collate and removes any dependence on locale. + The change affects the output from ACE_Log_Msg's %D format and both VERBOSE + and VERBOSE_LIGHT timestamps in addition to application-made direct calls + to ACE::timestamp(). + +. Removed GCC < 3 support + +. A new build system hook was added for users to include site-private rules + in a build. If a file named "rules.private.GNU" in located in any build + directory it will get included from + $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU. The "private_rules_file" + make variable can be set to override the name and/or location of the file. + If no such rules file exists, its absence is silently ignored. This + facility can be used, for example, to integrate a specialized code checker + into the build process. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.8.2 and ACE-5.8.3 +==================================================== + +. Two new methods were added to ACE_Pipe: close_read() and close_write(). + These methods can be used to close individual pipe handles. + +. The ACE::handle_ready() family of methods was changed to prefer using + poll() over select() on platforms where poll() is available. This + preference was previously only used if ACE_HAS_LIMITED_SELECT was set. + The ACE_HAS_LIMITED_SELECT choice is removed, making ACE_HAS_POLL the + setting that switches this preference. The driving reason for this + is that if select() is called to detect changes on a handle whose + values falls outside that which can safely be stored in an fdset, + the handle-setting macros/functions will set/clear bits outside + of the fdset. This results in very weird memory changes, often in + the stack, which are very hard to diagnose. poll()'s operation + does not suffer from this affect. With the growing use of large + numbers of handles and use of ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor on Linux, + the rate at which this problem was cropping up was increasing. + +. Added a simple helper ACE::is_equal() which compares equality of two + objects without using operator==. This is useful for comparing floating + point values. + +. Removed all deprecated methods, arguments, files, classes, macros and + anything else we kept for years. + +. Removed Irix/Tru64/SCO/Uniware/Cray support + +. ACE_Pair has been removed. Users should now use std::pair. + +. This is the last micro release that will work with GCC < 3, after x.8.3 + support for GCC < 3 will be removed + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.8.1 and ACE-5.8.2 +==================================================== + +. Added support for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 IDE (vc10) + +. Removed complete support for emulated C++ exceptions + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.8.0 and ACE-5.8.1 +==================================================== + +. Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 using nmake + +. Reduced the amount of doxygen pages generated, the original settings caused + a doxygen generated html package of 1.4GB which was way too large + +. Extended ACE INet addon library with: + * HTTP Basic Authentication + * SSL/HTTPS support. + * Proxy CONNECT tunneling. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.9 and ACE-5.8.0 +==================================================== + +. There are two new ACE_Time_Value methods for getting and setting millisecond + values to/from ACE_UINT64 values: + + ACE_UINT64 ACE_Time_Value::get_msec () const + void ACE_Time_Value::set_msec (const ACE_UINT64 &ms) + + The former is a replacement for the existing msec(ACE_UINT64&) methods that + are "getter" methods whose signatures look confusingly like "setters". See + Bugzilla #3336 for the history behind this change. + + The latter is for consistency and clarity. + +. Added ACE INet addon library for Inet protocol clients (and possibly + servers at some point) like http://, ftp:// etc. + The library implements standard C++ iostream wrapper classes for + ACE Svc_Handler and Reactor based input/output handling, URL classes + and protocol handler classes. + NOTE: This is work in progress! There is no guarentee that the API + won't change in the next few releases. + Protocol handling is currently restricted to client side download + requests for HTTP and FTP. + Handling for upload requests should be added in the near future as well + as HTTP Basic Authentication. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.8 and ACE-5.7.9 +==================================================== + +. ACE's default makefiles (traditional ACE/GNU, not autoconf/automake) + now support installation with "make install". + Please see the ACE-INSTALL.html file for instructions. + +. Support for the ARCH make variable has been enhanced to apply to executables + (in addition to libraries and object files), and the ARCH feature has been + integrated into the MPC-generated makefiles (to work with MPC's requires + and avoids features). + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.7 and ACE-5.7.8 +==================================================== + +. ACE now uses GCC builtin Atomic instructions for short, + unsigned short, long, unsigned long, int, unsigned int, + and bool. This makes our Atomic_Op around 7 times faster + +. ACE Service Configuration Framework now process first service + configuration files and then command-line directives. Thus if + application uses both service configuration files and command-line + directives then the command-line directives may override results of + directives in the configuration files. At the same time if the + application uses only the default svc.conf file and command-line + directives then the directives from svc.conf can not override + results of the user provided command-line directives. + +. ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor now dispatches notifications in only one thread at + a time. This brings notification handling more in line with behavior in + other Reactor implementations. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.6 and ACE-5.7.7 +==================================================== + +. Integrated fix for bug 3104 and regression test for + interval timers. + +. Added support for GCC builtin Atomic instructions which + are enabled with GCC >= 4.1 for PPC32/PPC64/IA64 + +. Improved autoconf support for debian + +. Added support for -mcpu and -mtune. Add TCPU=.. to your + environment/platform_macros.GNU to specify you cpu and + than add cpumodelflag=1 and/or tunemodelflag=1. Using + this with IBM Cell increased the performance significantly + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.5 and ACE-5.7.6 +==================================================== + +. Added support for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. The following + environment variables are needed: + + IPHONE_TARGET, should be set to either SIMULATOR or + HARDWARE. Set to HARDWARE if you want to deploy + on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad device. + + IPHONE_VERSION, should be set to 3.1.2 or 3.2. One can + set the version to any future or past versions, but + only 3.1.2 and 3.2 have been tried. + + Note that one has to compile ACE/TAO statically as + it is believed that the iPhone OS does not support + dynamic loading of external libraries. The usual + procedure of cross compiling ACE/TAO applies + (such as setting HOST_ROOT environment variable). + +. Added support for Embarcadero C++ Builder 2010 + +. Added option to print a given ACE_Time_Value in the log + message instead of system supplied timestamp as in %T + and %D. + The option is implemented as a variant of the %D/%T + options by using the '#' flag character like '%#D' or + '%#T'. When using this flag an ACE_Time_Value pointer is + expected in the argument list supplied with the log message. + This fixed Bugzilla #3221. + +. Fixed problems with ACE_INET_Addr::is_multicast() on + little endian platforms. This fixed bugzilla #3729. + +. Added compilation support for VxWorks 6.8, no runtime + testing has been performed + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.4 and ACE-5.7.5 +==================================================== + +. Added MacOSX Snow Leopard support + +. Added strsignal() wrapper + +. Improved LynxOS support + +. Updated Interix port + +. Fixed MinGW compilation problems + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.3 and ACE-5.7.4 +==================================================== + +. ACE_CDR::consolidate now returns an int, 0 is ok, -1 is failure + +. Fixed a bug in the realclean feature of the GNU makefiles + +. Improved Sun Studio for Linux support + +. Improved OpenBSD support + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.2 and ACE-5.7.3 +==================================================== + +. C++ Builder 2009 Update 3 is the only C++Builder that is supported, older + and newer compilers are not supported anymore + +. Made final changes for the CEGCC port + +. Added a set of tests to validate C++ compiler and the stl implementation + they ship. + +. HP-UX PARISC aCC < 3.80 are deprecated and can't be used anymore. Upgrade + to aCC 3.80 or newer + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.1 and ACE-5.7.2 +==================================================== + +. Borland C++ makefiles aren't shipped anymore as part of the release + but have to be generated by the user + +. Refactored gperf to have its own shared library so that we can reuse + that in TAO + +. Added support for SuSE Enterprise 10 + +. ACE_Configuration_Heap::open() now returns -1 with errno EBUSY if it is + called multiple times. Previous versions would allow multiple calls to + open() but leak resources. + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.7.0 and ACE-5.7.1 +==================================================== + +. Added support for Sun Studio 12 Update Pack 1 + +. Fixed compile problems when using Windows CE x86 release mode + +. Fixed compile problems for FreeBSD + +USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.6.9 and ACE-5.7.0 +==================================================== + +. Added support for the VxWorks vxAtomicLib which is available with VxWorks 6.6 + and newer. If you don't want to use this library undef ACE_HAS_VXATOMICLIB + in your config.h file + +. Added support for C++ Builder 2009 Update 3 + +. Added support for ACE/TAO using the CEGCC project -. RPM packaging as part of the release process by the doc_group (Remedy and user community) +. Added support for upcoming Fedora 11 and OpenSuSE Factory USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.6.8 and ACE-5.6.9 ==================================================== |
