streams-0.7a.4 was released January 4, 2006.
This the first functioning OpenSS7 Project public release of
Linux Fast-STREAMS, a complete reimplementation of SVR 4.2 MP
STREAMS for Linux. This release is a beta release and has been
extensively tested and is mostly stable. The purpose of the
release is to provide the community with the ability to try the
code and documentation. Later releases will include any fixes
or missing functionality.
This release has been performance tested (see the reaults at
http://www.openss7.org/streams_perf.html ) and conformance tested
(see the results at http://www.openss7.org/streams_pics.html )
and tested in comparison with LiS. Linux Fast-STREAMS far
exceeds LiS in every dimension. Linux Fast-STREAMS is up to
seven (7) time faster, one eighth (1/8) the size, and conforms
far better to POSIX/SUSv3 standards. Linux Fast-STREAMS is
already more stable than LiS on SMP kernels and SMP platforms
and does not lock on UP kernel where LiS does.
The release is avialable as a tarball, SRPM and a set of RPMS.
See the downloads page http://www.openss7.org/download.html for
the autoconf tarballs. See the OpenSS7 Project package page
http://www.openss7.org/streams_pkg.html for the SRPM and binary
RPMs.
See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information.
Also see the doc/manual/STREAMS.pdf manual in the release, also
available online at http://www.openss7.org/streams_manual.html
