(Remedy) VxWorks 6.2 support - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.5 and ACE-5.5.1 -==================================================== - -. Added support for the --enable-symbol-visibility configure option - to the autoconf build infrastructure instead of solely relying on - feature tests to enable/disable symbol visibility support. This - avoids build problems with icc, etc. - -. Added support for the --enable-fl-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the ACE_FlReactor library. - -. Added support for the --enable-qt-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the ACE_QtReactor library. - -. Added support for the --enable-xt-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the ACE_XtReactor library. - -. Fixed a bug that would cause timer IDs from ACE_Timer_Heap to be - improperly duplicated under certain conditions (Bugzilla #2447). - -. Fixed ACE_SSL_Context::private_key(), context(), and dh_params() methods - to allow retrying a file load after a failed call. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4.10 and ACE-5.5 -==================================================== - -. Added a platform macros option "templates=manual", currently only - applies to AIX 5.3 with XL 7 compiler. It allows the user to tell the - compiler to set -qnotempinc and -qnotemplateregistry and works well - in static builds. - -. ACE and its tests compile error free with GCC 4.1 pre release. - -. ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex::get_nesting_level() fixed for 64-bit Windows - XP on amd64/EM64T hardware. - -. Many build-time fixes for Windows Mobile 5 and Windows PocketPC 2003 using - Visual Studio .NET 2005 (VC8). - -. Added support for the --enable-tk-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the ACE_TkReactor library. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4.9 and ACE-5.4.10 -==================================================== - -. Fixed a bug in ACE_Timer_Heap_T::cancel(). - -. Improved ACE_Time_Value support for boundary conditions. - -. Fixed problems with operator placement delete on certain C++ compilers. - -. Fixed a bug with the ACE_SPIPE_Acceptor on Windows. - -. Correctly set sockaddr_in.sin_len and sockaddr_in6.sin6_len on - platforms that have these fields. - -. Avoided problems with namespace pollution for max() macros. - -. Many fixes for ACE_LACKS* and ACE_HAS* macros for autoconfig. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4.8 and ACE-5.4.9 +PLANNED MAJOR CHANGES TARGETED FOR ACE-5.4.8 ==================================================== -. Added dozens of new ACE_LACKS and ACE_HAS defines which are used to - simplify the ACE_OS layer - -. Constructors of ACE_Time_Value have been made explicit to prevent - implicit conversions. - -. Added a shutdown() method to ACE_Barrier. The new method aborts the - wait by all threads. - -. Changed the behavior of ACE_Message_Queue::enqueue_head() and - enqueue_tail(). If the enqueued message block has other blocks - chained to it via its next() pointer, the entire chain of blocks - will be enqueued at once. - -. Improved the support for high-resolution timers with - ACE_Timer_Queue_Adapter. - -. Make it possible to disable file caching in JAWS. - -. Improved ACE_Pipe implementation so that it uses localhost to avoid - firewall problems. - -. Added Unicode support to the Service Configurator. +.

TTY_IO overhaul - Improved documentation. - It is now possible to request infinite timeout in portable manner. - This can be achieved by setting negative value to readtimeoutmsec. + This can be achived by setting negative value to readtimeoutmsec. - Various bugs fixed and portability issues resolved. -. Subset ACE for TAO and TAO Services - -. Support for Intel C++ 9.0 on Windows and Linux - -. Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (aka VC8) for Win32 as well - as the Windows CE platforms Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5. - Solution/project files are generated with an appended "_vc8" for - Win32 and "_WinCE" for the CE platforms. See - ACE_wrappers/docs/CE-status.txt for more information. - -. Completed implementation of ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor using the Linux epoll - facility; tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. - -. The in-memory size of an ACE_RB_Tree will be smaller due to rearranged - placement of pointers. - -. Added an optimization to CDR stream to ignores alignment when marshaling - data. Use this new ACE_LACKS_CDR_ALIGNMENT compile-time option only - when the ACE_DISABLE_SWAP_ON_READ macro is enabled. This new option - requires ACE CDR engine to do both marshaling and demarshaling, and - when this option is enabled the encoded streams are no longer - compliant with the CORBA CDR specification. - -. Developed Feature Oriented Customizer (FOCUS) tool to enable - specialization of middleware frameworks such as Reactor and Protocol - framework. FOCUS provides an XML based transformation engine, where - the transformations to specialize the components are captured in XML - file and a weaver specializes the code. - -. Added support for unrolling ACE_OS::memcpy copy loop where - applicable to improve performance. Autoconf tests empirically - determine whether loop unrolling is at least 10% better than default - version. - -. Added support for an ACE "versioned" namespace. When enabled, ACE - library sources will be placed within a namespace of the user's - choice or a namespace of the form ACE_5_4_7 by default, where - "5_4_7" is the ACE major, minor and beta versions. The default may - be overridden by defining the ACE_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_NAME - preprocessor symbol. Enable overall versioned namespace support by - adding "versioned_namespace=1" to your MPC default.features file. - USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4.6 and ACE-5.4.7 ==================================================== |
