Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Jan 4, 2006
OpenSS7 today announces Release 1 of the Linux Fast-STREAMS streams 0.7a.4 package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Jan 4, 2006)   This is the first functioning 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 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 and conformance tested, and tested in comparison with LiS. Linux Fast-STREAMS far exceeds LiS in every dimension. Linux Fast-sTREAMS is up to seven (7) times faster, one eighth (1/8) the size, and conforms far better to POSIX/SUSv3 standards. Linux Fast-STREAMS is already more stable that LiS on SMP kernels and SMP platforms and does not lock on UP kernels where LiS does.

The release is available as a tar-ball, SRPM and a set of RPMS. See the downloads page for the autoconf tar balls. See our RPMS directory for the SRPM and binary RPMS for several RedHat systems and kernels on ix86.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also see the doc/manual/STREAMS.pdf manual in the release.
