Subject: strsctp 0.9.2.5 Released - STREAMS SCTP for Linux Fast-STREAMS and SIGTRAN
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 06:25:07 -0600
Reply-To: bidulock@openss7.org
strsctp-0.9.2.5 was released under GPLv2 on March 15, 2006.
STREAMS SCTP (strsctp) is an OpenSS7 Project implementation of Stream
Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP - RFC 2960) for Linux Fast-STREAMS.
It is based on the same protocol engine core as the Linux Native
(Sockets) version of OpenSS7 SCTP.
This release is another separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP
driver that was formerly present in the OpenSS7 SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP
strss7 package <http://www.openss7.org/strss7_pkg.html>. The networking
driver (streams-sctp) is provided, as well as NPI, TPI and XTI header
files for SCTP operation. The package contains the necessary manual
pages and other documentation for SCTP components in a separate autoconf
tarball.
This release is primarily to support additional compilers (gcc 4.0.2),
architectures (x86_64, SMP, 32-bit compatibility), recent Linux
distributions (EL4, SuSE 10, LE2006, OpenSuSE) and kernels (2.6.15). It
includes:
- Changes necessary for __LP64__ compatible builds. Changes to support
32-bit ioctl compatibility for __LP64__ architectures. Binary
compatibility should not have been disrupted. At the same time as
the ioctl32 changes, TRANSPARENT ioctl support for most of the IO
controls for the ldl(4) driver has been added.
- Changes to satisfy gcc 4.0.2 compiler.
- Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on
x86_64 architecture. Some bug corrections resulting from gcc 4.0.2
compiler warnings.
- Corrected build flags for Gentoo and 2.6.15 kernels as reported on
mailing list.
- Initial corrections for and testing of SMP operation on Intel 630
Hyper-Threaded SMP on x86_64. This package should now run well on
N-way Xeons even with Hyper-Threading enabled.
- Corrections and validation of 32-bit compatibility over 64-bit on
x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well.
This is a public alpha release of the package.
Please see README-alpha in the release, or
<http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strsctp-0.9.2.5/README-alpha>.
These components were formerly only contained in the OpenSS7 SS7/SIGTRAN
/ISDN/VoIP strss7 package <http://www.openss7.org/strss7_pkg.html>,
however, this tarball configures, builds and installs them separately in
case you wish to use these components separate from our strss7 releases
(e.g. on their own).
As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds rpms for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM-based
distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or
recompiling the kernel.
This package is released under the 'GNU Public License Version 2'. The
release is available as an autoconf/RPM tarball, SRPM and set of binary
RPMs. See the download page <http://www.openss7.org/download.html> for
the autoconf tarballs and SRPMs. See the strsctp package page at
<http://www.openss7.org/strsctp_pkg.html> for tarballs, SRPMs and binary
RPMs.
See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strsctp-0.9.2.5/ChangeLog> and
<http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strsctp-0.9.2.5/NEWS> in the release
for more information. Also, see the strsctp.pdf manual in the release
(also in html <http://www.openss7.org/strsctp_manual.html>).

Reply-To: bidulock@openss7.org
strss7-0.9a.4 was released under GPLv2 on March 15, 2006.
The STREAMS SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP package contains a wide array of SS7,
SIGTRAN, ISDN and VoIP drivers and components for Linux Fast-STREAMS.
This is the public release package which has most of the components
removed. Subscriber and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project have access to
the full array of components.
This is the fourth release of the OpenSS7 SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP strss7
package that contains SS7 (Signalling System No. 7), SIGTRAN (SIGnalling
TRANsport), ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and VoIP (Voice
over Internet Protocol) signalling stack components for Linux
Fast-STREAMS. The package contains the necessary header files, manual
pages and other documentation for SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP components in a
separate autoconf tarball.

Subject: strxns 0.9.2.3 Released - STREAMS XNS 5.2 Networking for Linux
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 06:21:49 -0600
Reply-To: bidulock@openss7.org
strxns-0.9.2.3 was released under GPLv2 on March 15, 2006.
STREAMS XNS is an implementation of X/Open Network Services (XNS 5.2)
for Linux Fast-STREAMS and provides OSI conforming CDI, DLPI and NPI
header files as well as several DLPI modules and drivers that convert
between the Linux Native IP interface and the STREAMS DLPI interface.
One allows DLPI drivers to be added to Linux as IP interfaces, the other
provides DLPI access to native Linux IP interfaces.
This is the OpenSS7 Project's third separate release from the OpenSS7
Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS modules, formerly part of the (now
deprecated) Linux STREAMS LiS-2.18.0 package. These networking modules
provide DLPI and Linux IP interface drivers, as well as providing CDI,
DLPI and NPI header files. The package contains all the necessary
manual pages and other documentation for XNS components in a separate
autoconf tarball.
This release is primarily to support additional compilers (gcc 4.0.2),
architectures (x86_64, SMP, 32-bit compatibility), recent Linux
distributions (EL4, SuSE 10, LE2006, OpenSuSE) and kernels (2.6.15). It
includes:
- Changes necessary for __LP64__ compatible builds. Changes to support
32-bit ioctl compatibility for __LP64__ architectures. Binary
compatibility should not have been disrupted. At the same time as

controls for the ldl(4) driver has been added.
- Changes to satisfy gcc 4.0.2 compiler.
- Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on

- Initial corrections for and testing of SMP operation on Intel 630
Hyper-Threaded SMP on x86_64. This package should now run well on
N-way Xeons even with Hyper-Threading enabled.
- Corrections and validation of 32-bit compatibility over 64-bit on
x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well.
This is public beta release of the package: it deprecates previous
releases. Please upgrade before reporting problems with previous
releases.
As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds rpms for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM-based
distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or
recompiling the kernel.

Subject: aterr version 0.9.2 released
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 17:19:35 -0600
The Chimaera Project is pleased to announce the public release of
version 0.9.2 of aterr, an open source threaded forum system.
Version 0.9.2 of aterr fixes problems with installing aterr to the root
of a domain, and includes some new minor functionality such as thread
pagination and limiting the effectiveness of forum/SEO spam.
aterr is a threaded forum system, allowing registered visitors to
express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other
visitors. A threaded forum system differs from regular, flat forum
systems in that once posted, a thread can fork, allowing visitors to
reply directly to other posts. aterr also provides a customisable
permissions system, the ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.
aterr can be downloaded from:
--> http://chimaera.starglade.org/aterr/aterr-0.9.2.tar.gz
A demonstration site, as well as the official support forums, is at:
--> http://chimaera.starglade.org/forums/
aterr is released under the GNU GPL.
