Wed Dec 15 16:47:19 1993 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) * Added a new parameter to the constructor and open() member functions in the SOCK_Listener and LSOCK_Listener classes. This parameter indicates that the SO_REUSEADDR option needs to be applied before attempting to bind an address. Sun Nov 21 14:46:18 1993 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@net4.ics.uci.edu) * Added a new file called "testconfig.h" in the include directory. This file gives defaults for the hostname and server port numbers used in the ./tests directory. Wed Nov 3 18:41:14 1993 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@cupid.ics.uci.edu) * Released version 2.12. * Included Olaf Kruger's fix for templates/shared libs on Sun OS 4. This solves a bunch of weird problems. Now, most of the tests compile and run correctly on Sun OS 4! Mon Nov 1 17:47:30 1993 Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@cupid.ics.uci.edu) * Split the release into two parts: (1) the documentation and papers and (2) the library source code and test examples. * Renamed and lightly redesigned the IPC_SAP* hierarchy. Now the overall C++ wrapper abstraction for local and remote IPC is called IPC_SAP. The specific wrappers for sockets, TLI, named pipes, and STREAM pipes are called SOCK_SAP, TLI_SAP, FIFO_SAP, and SPIPE_SAP, respectively. This cleans up the interfaces, shares more code, and is much easier to explain. In addition, the Server_Daemon framework has been renamed the Service Configurator framework, and the Server_Daemon class has been renamed Service_Config. The documentation is being updated to reflect these changes, as well. Note, the easiest way to upgrade existing apps is simply to use perl as follows: % perl -p -i -e 's/Local_IPC/LSOCK/g;' *.[Chi] % perl -p -i -e 's/IPC_SAP_FIFO/FIFO/g;' *.[Chi] % perl -p -i -e 's/IPC_SAP_SPIPE/SPIPE/g;' *.[Chi] % perl -p -i -e 's/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP/g;' *.[Chi] % perl -p -i -e 's/SAP_//g;' *.[Chi] % perl -p -i -e 's/Server_Daemon/Service_Config/g;' *.[Chi] etc. Note that the order in which you do this is important! In addition, you need to check out your Makefiles, to be sure that -lIPC_SAP linker lines are changed to include the appropriate components.
