openss7 1.1.1 2010-11-15 Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Nov 15, 2010
OpenSS7 today announced Release 1.1.1.20101115 of the openss7 package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Nov 15, 2010)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 1.1.1.20101115 of the openss7 package. This is the OpenSS7 package. It contains all of the OpenSS7 release code. This is the only package released by OpenSS7.

This package contains all of the former sub-packages of the OpenSS7 Master Package, including:

  • Linux Fast-STREAMS
  • STREAMS Compatibility Modules
  • STREAMS Utilities
  • STREAMS Terminals
  • STREAMS X/Open Networking Services
  • STREAMS X/Open Networking XTI/TLI Library
  • STREAMS Sockets
  • STREAMS Internet Protocol Drivers
  • STREAMS SCTP
  • STREAMS Channels and Multiplexing
  • STREAMS X.25 and Frame Relay Stack
  • STREAMS Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Stack
  • STREAMS ISDN Stack
  • STREAMS ATM Stack
  • STREAMS SS7 Stack
  • STREAMS SIGTRAN Stack
  • STREAMS VoIP Stack

Fully deprecated by this release and no longer released by OpenSS7 are the following former sub-packages of the OpenSS7 Master Package:

  • Linux Native Sockets SCTP
  • Internet Performance (the OpenSS7 iperf fork)
  • Network Performance (the OpenSS7 netperf fork)
  • Dialogic Open System Release 6.1

This distribution is applicable to Linux 2.4, 2.6 and 3.x kernels and was targeted at ix86, x86_64, ppc and ppc64 architectures, but should build and install for other architectures as well.

This is the third OpenSS7 respin of the OpenSS7 package. This is a production grade release. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions, production kernels and architectures.

The OpenSS7 package has undergone significant changes, so follow closely. In its first incarnation, epoch zero (0), the openss7 package was an add-on package to a now deprecated version of STREAMS. This changed due to the deprecation of the old versions of STREAMS. In its second incarnation, epoch one (1), the openss7 package contained Linux Fast-STREAMS and a number of other sub-packages, each capable of building and installing separately. This changed due to the increasing maintenance overhead as additional sub-packages were added. In its latest incarnation, epoch two (2), the OpenSS7 package is a monolithic package containing Linux Fast-STREAMS and most of the other sub-packages in a single build package.

Major feature additions since the last public release are as follows:

  • Support for CentOS 5.3 and 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel.
  • Support for SLES 10 SP2
  • SNMP agents are more thorough and complete.
  • Java JAIN SS7 OAM, MTP, SCCP, TCAP, INAP, MAP, ISUP, ISDN, H.323, IUA, M3UA, SUA, TUA, SPIRITS components, with JAIN JCC 1.2 and MSCONTROL.
  • Interfaces provided for major scripting languages including Java.

Major packaging changes since last public release, epoch one (1), are:

  • The package only compiles with Linux Fast-STREAMS, which is included.
  • Only OpenSS7 developed modules, drivers, libraries and utilities have been included.
  • Forks of other test utilities such as Iperf and Netperf have been removed.
  • Sub-package source and installation sub-directories have all been collapsed into the one openss7 directory.
  • A single tarball, SRPM and DSC generates a simple set of 3 binary RPMs or DEBs.
  • The entire package is released under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3; however, commercial licensing is also available for the entire package.

Major upgrades from the last public release are:

  • Updated build system to swig-1.3.39.
  • Updated build system to automake-1.11 with full silent build.
  • Excluded deprecated and discontinued sub-packages as follows: sctp-0.2.27, iperf-2.0.8, netperf-2.3.7, osr61-0.9.2.3.
  • Documentation license for all documentation upgraded to GFDL 1.3 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Conver Texts and no Back-Cover Texts, for full Debian policy compatibility.
  • Updated build system tool chain to m4-1.4.13, automake-1.10.2, bison-2.4.1, libtool-2.2.6a, texinfo-4.13a.
  • Addition of the following sub-packages: stratm-0.9.2.1. This package was then instantly absorbed into the new OpenSS7 package.
  • Significant feature updates were made to strchan-0.9.2.4, strsock-0.9.2.4, strnsl-0.9.2.4, sigtran-0.9.2.4.
  • Significant rework of strchan sub-package into the strss7, strisdn, strx25 and striso packages. One single driver now meeds the needs of all sub-packages.
  • The strnsl sub-package moves from alpha to production.
  • Significant completion of the sigtran package: all components moved back to production.

Major maintenance items since the last public release are:

  • Fixed hash races in open and close. This was service affecting under heavy open/close loads. (Bug# openss7 006.)
  • Fixed reference counting imbalance when entering and leaving synchronization queues. (Bug# openss7 004.)
  • Fixed timer reporting in the pstrlog() call resulting in near-epoch invalid timestamps. This was an annoyance. (Bug# openss7 003.)
  • Fixed assurances in untimeout() and unbufcall() utilities. This could be service affecting on many-way machines. (Bug# openss7 002.)
  • Timer cancellation directly from ICS races removed. This could be service affecting on many-way machines. (Bug# openss7 002.)
  • Corrected removal of SLAP_NO_REAP flag from recent kernels causing timeout problems on many-way machines under memory pressure. (Bug# openss7 001.)

For completed detail on maintenance items, see BUGS in the release.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

This is the third release of the combined OpenSS7 master package. See README in the release for a listing of the replaced sub-packages. Most of the sub-packages replaced by this release were production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS at the time of release. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures.

OpenSS7 no longer releases a master package and independent sub-packages. All pertinent sub-packages were combined in to a single release tarball. This was done because many package managers (e.g. yum and apt) cannot handle complex kernel-versioned dependencies between sub-packages. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4, 2.6 and 3.x rpm(8) and dpkg(1) based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released strictly under the GNU Aferro General Public License Version 3; however, commercial licensing is available. The release is available as an autoconf(1) tarball, SRPM, DSC, and a set of binary RPMs and DEBs for popular distributions. See the package page (http://www.openss7.org/openss7_pkg.html) or the repository page (http://www.openss7.org/repos.html) for information concerning network installation and update sources.

See the ChangeLog and NEWS files in the release for more information. Also, see the openss7.pdf manual in the release (also in html (http://www.openss7.org/openss7_manual.html)).
