Added support for the --enable-xt-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the TAO_XtResource library. - -. Fixed a race condition involving two threads active in the same - connection handler at the same time. See bug# 1647 for details. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN TAO-1.4.10 and TAO-1.5.0 -==================================================== - -. Fixed Transport to handle incoming fragmented messages propperly, abstract - interfaces TAO_Pluggable_Messaging and TAO_Transport have been - modified. Custom transport/messaging implementations require - interface modification. - -. Fix collocation optimisation when a location forward is received directing a - client to a collocated object. - -. Prevent an OBJ_ADAPTER exception when using an object reference containing - an ObjectID that corresponds to a collocated IORTable entry. - -. Reverted solution that allowed POA-level control over access to - security-enabled objects due to conflicts with the specification, - i.e. the Security::SecQoP* are not server-side policies. - -. When suppressing any and typecodes during IDL compilation this will not - trigger compile errors due to missing any insert operations - -. Bug fix in IFR when creating typecodes for nested structs and unions. - -. Added support for the --enable-tk-reactor configure option to the - autoconf build infrastructure to build the TAO_TkResource library. - -IDL COMPILER ------------- - -. Fix problem with missing includes in the skeleton files for imported arg - trait declarations. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN TAO-1.4.9 and TAO-1.4.10 -==================================================== - -. Fixed a bug, which allowed security unaware clients to make - invocations on secure objects, when the ORB was configured with - support for Security::SecQoPNoProtection. - -. Fixed Bugzilla #2145, which was preventing the building of - the IDL compiler on HPUX. - -. Added boxed valuetype support to the Interface Repository - loader. - -. Fixed several bugs in the PICurrent implementation - -. Fixed GOA factory name - -. Fixed -ORBConnectionHandlerCleanup arguments to accept 0 and 1. - -. Improved Portable Interceptor implementation. - -. Autoconfig improvements. - -. Improved Real-time CORBA support for dynamic threads. - -IDL COMPILER: -------------- - -. Some bug fixes. See bug #2375 and #2390. - -USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN TAO-1.4.8 and TAO-1.4.9 -==================================================== - -. Added new endpoint selector implementation - Optimized - Connection Endpoint Selector. A member of the tao/Strategies library, - use svc.conf file to load the OC_Endpoint_Factory object. See - tests/AlternateIIOP/svc.conf for an example. - -. Continued splitting ORB Services into stub, skeleton, and - implementation libraries. Changes to the Concurrency Service, - Property Service, and RTEventLog Admin Service (TAO's RTEvent - varient of the OMG Telecom Log Service) have been committed. - -. Added a new ORB run-time option "-ORBUseLocalMemoryPool [0|1]" which - controls an individual application's use of TAO's Local Memory Pool. - TAO can use a local memory pool to satisfy some of its needs for - heap storage, as it is often more efficient than using the - platform's default memory allocator. The pool will always grow as - large as necessary to satisfy memory allocations, but it will never - shrink. This means that sometimes a process can retain memory that - it no longer needs. If the default allocator is used then TAO gives - memory back as soon as it is not needed. - The UseLocalMemoryPool option selects between using the local memory - pool or using the default allocator, where 0 means don't use the pool, - 1 means use the pool. The default is still controlled by the original - compile-time option controlled by the #define TAO_USE_LOCAL_MEMORY_POOL - which defaults to 1 if not specified. - -. Add a property -ORBKeepalive to allow a user to specify that - SO_KEEPALIVE is set on IIOP connections. See docs/Options.html - and Bugzilla #2374. - -. Add support for RTCORBA::TCPPrototocolProperties::keep_alive, when - RTCORBA is used, and the application is using a Server or Client - ProtocolPolicy. - -. Refined the Telecom Log Service Strategy Interface. Added methods - to fetch/store capacity alarm thresholds, log QoS, and "week mask". - Rework locking to avoid race conditions and to improve performance. - -IDL COMPILER: -------------- - -. Fixed bug in computation of repository ids for predefined types. - -. Fixed bug in the handling of TAO_IDL_INCLUDE_DIR. - -Interface Repository: ---------------------- - -. Fixed bug in the lookup of a valuetype member's type using its - repository id. - -. Fixed bug in IFR loader in checking for pre-existence before - creating an entry corresponding to an IDL typedef. - -. Fixed bug in lookup when checking for a local name clash. - -. Fixed bug in the describe_interface() operation when the IDL - interface being described has multiple parents. +.

If you need the old mapping add - the define TAO_HAS_DEPRECATED_EXCEPTION_HOLDER to your config.h - file before you build TAO and the TAO_IDL compiler - -. Added CodecFactory::create_codec_with_codesets to create a codec with - a specific codeset. See OMG issue 6050 for the background. - -. PortableInterceptor::IORInterceptor has been splitted in IORInterceptor - and IORInterceptor_3_0. If you use IORInterceptors read the ChangeLog for - the details, maybe you have to update your code! - -. Added the new Custom Servant Dispatching (CSD) feature to provide user - applications with the ability to implement and "plug-in" custom strategies - to handle the dispatching of requests to servants. This new feature is not - currently tested for VxWorks. See TAO release notes for more information. - -. Added support for an TAO "versioned" namespace. When enabled, TAO - library sources will be placed within a namespace of the user's - choice or a namespace of the form TAO_1_4_7 by default, where - "1_4_7" is the TAO major, minor and beta versions. The default may - be overridden by defining the TAO_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_NAME - preprocessor symbol. Enable overall versioned namespace support by - adding "versioned_namespace=1" to your MPC default.features file. - -. Changed generated signatures of some valuetype member - accessor/mutator pairs to be consistent with IN - parameter semantics. - -. Added spec-required generation of member-initializing - constructor for valuetypes. See C++ mapping (03-06-03) - section 1.17.2. Closes Bugzilla #2270. - -. Added default include paths $TAO_ROOT, $TAO_ROOT/tao, - $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs, and $CIAO_ROOT/ciao to IDL compiler - execution, eliminating the need to add them explicitly - to the command line. - -. Added immediate exits to IDL compiler when some name clash - errors are encountered, avoiding a crash if parsing is - continued. Closes Bugzilla #2281. - -. Changed the behavior of the _default() method (generated - for IDL unions that have an explicit or implicit default - case label) to clean up memory used by the freed member, - if necessary. - -. Fixed bug in IDL compiler when handling a native exception - in an operation declared in Messaging::ExceptionHolder. - -. Although not presently supported by CIAO, added error - checking to the IDL compiler's parsing of IDL home - primary keys, which constrain the basic valuetype - syntax in several ways. - -. Fixed order of generated base class stub constructor calls - when the IDL interface has both concrete and abstract parents. - -. Fixed a bug in the handling of forward declared interfaces - that have both concrete and abstract parents. - -. Fixed the command line parsing to preserve the literal - quotes if they are used in an include path that has a space. - Closes Bugzilla #2219. - -. Many changes related to refactoring of Anys and Typecodes - into a separate library (POC is Johnny Willemsen - <jwillemsen@remedy.nl>). - -. Merging of many Notification Service changes/fixes from OCITAO to - the DOC version. These generally addressed stability issues such as - memory leaks, thread leaks, etc. - -. Introduction of the versioned namespaces changed the name of the - factory function used for dynamically loading the Notification - Service persistence mechanisms.
