Ice-3.5.1.zip

NOTE: This file is no longer being updated. See the CHANGES file in the top-level directory. Changes since version 3.2.0 --------------------------- - Added demo book/lifecycle. - Added two new IceGrid properties: IceGrid.Registry.SessionFilters IceGrid.Registry.AdminSessionFilters These properties allow disabling the setup of Glacier2 filters for IceGrid client and administrative sessions created through Glacier2. See the Ice manual for more information. - Fixed object adapter activation deadlock. The deadlock could occur when the adapter register its endpoints with the locator registry and if another thread invokes concurrently on the locator. - If the glacier2router can not contact the permissions verifier or session manager on startup it now prints a warning and continues rather than exiting. These warnings are disabled if the router is started with the --nowarn command line option. - Added support for protected class data members using the new metadata tag ["protected"]. The tag can be applied to a Slice class or to individual data members. - IceGrid now allows you to define an object adapter with a replica group from a different IceGrid application. - Changed the throughput demo to better support cross-language testing. - Fixed a bug in IceUtil::Cond under Windows that could cause a deadlock if a signal was used in conjunction with multiple waiting threads where at least one thread is using timedWait. Note that this bug also affects IceUtil::Monitor since this uses IceUtil::Cond. - Fixed throughput performance problem on Windows that would occur when sending large requests. - Added Ice.TCP.RcvSize and Ice.TCP.SndSize properties. These properties control the size of the TCP receive and send buffers for the TCP and SSL transports. - Added support for opaque endpoints. For example: opaque -t 2 -v CTEyNy4wLjAuMREnAAD/////AA== This is the same as: ssl -h 127.0.0.1 -p 10001 The "opaque" protocol identifier indicates an unknown protocol. Both the -t and the -v option must be present: -t <num>: Indicates the protocol type (TCP = 1, SSL = 2, UDP = 3). -v <base64>: Provides the value of the opaque endpoint. The option argument is the marshaled representation of the endpoint (including the endpoint's enclosing encapsulation) in base64 encoding. This syntax is useful if, for example, a client that has the SSL plug-in configured sends a proxy with an SSL endpoint to a server without the SSL plug-in. Prior to this version, the server would drop the unknown SSL endpoint when it stringified the proxy. As of this version, the server preserves the endpoint and, when the server stringifies a proxy containing an unknown endpoint, it uses the above opaque syntax. - Trailing characters past the adapter id in a stringified proxy will now raise a ProxyParseException. - Fixed IceGrid registry assert which would be triggered on registration of duplicate well-known objects with the same object adapter. - Added code generated from FileParser.ice to the IceGrid library. - Fixed collocation optimization to also work for indirect proxies referring to a replica group. - The findAllReplicas() operation in the IceGrid::Query interface now accepts well-known proxies from a replica group. This allows you to retrieve the replicas of a replicated object using its well-known proxy. Changes since version 3.2b -------------------------- - The icegridadmin command line utility now tries to connect to a slave registry if the master is not available. Changes since version 3.1.1 --------------------------- - Deprecated Ice.UseEventLog. Windows services should no longer use this property! Also fixed a bug with the windows event logger which would cause hangs if the event log became full. - Under Windows Ice Services (Ice::Service) always use the windows event logger unless initData is otherwise configured. Installing the service will now create the appropriate registry keys, and uninstalling the service will remove them. - createObjectAdapter() and propertyToProxy() print warnings if unknown properties are found during creation of the adapter or proxy. These warnings can be disabled by setting the property Ice.Warn.UnknownProperties=0. - Fixed a race condition that could cause an assertion failure when using thread-per-connection. - Added the property Ice.Default.EndpointSelection. If not defined, the default value is "Random". - Proxies and object adapters can now be configured to use thread-per-connection. - IceBox services no longer inherit the properties of the container by default. If this is the desired behavior set the property IceBox.InheritProperties to 1. - Fixed a bug where new connections are being accepted but not serviced correctly when using the thread pool concurrency model if the number of file descriptors registered with the thread pool exceeds FD_SETSIZE. - Added Communicator::isShutdown() and ObjectAdapter::isDeactivated() to allow applications to determine whether a communicator has been shutdown or an object adapter has been deactivated, respectively. - The Glacier2 SessionControl object is now registered with the Server adapter rather than the Admin adapter. - Added "null" permissions verifier objects to Glacier2. - Renamed the property Glacier2.AddUserToAllowCategories to Glacier2.Filter.Category.AcceptUser. The old property name has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. - Added destroy() operation to the ObjectAdapter interface. This operation must be called in order to reclaim the adapter's resources and be able to recreate a new adapter with the same name. Destroying a communicator automatically calls destroy on all of its adapters. - Added a per-process logger and two methods to get/set the logger, Ice::getProcessLogger() and Ice::setProcessLogger(). Calling getProcessLogger() creates a default logger if setProcessLogger() has not been called. The process logger is also used as the default logger for all communicators that do not have a logger explicitly set. - Added the property Glacier2.ReturnClientProxy to control whether Glacier2's implementation of the Router::getClientProxy() operation returns a proxy or just null. By default this property is set to 0. For backward compatibility with clients that use Ice versions older than 3.2, this property must be set to 1. - Added support for a user-defined signal handler in Ice::Application. A subclass must override the interruptCallback method and invoke callbackOnInterrupt to activate it. - Message batches are now automatically flushed when the total size of the batch reaches the message size maximum. This feature can be controlled using the Ice.BatchAutoFlush property, which is on by default. - It is now possible to identify log files for IceGrid servers using the `log' XML element of a server descriptor. Server logs can be viewed remotely by the IceGrid GUI or the icegridadmin command- line utility. - Added support to the IceGrid GUI and icegridadmin command-line utility for viewing the standard error and standard output files of an IceGrid node, registry, and server. - Added new `property' attribute to IceGrid object descriptors. If this attribute is specified, the registry generates a property that supplies the object's identity. For example: <object id="hello" property="Identity"/> generates the property "Identity=hello". - Patching a distribution with IceGrid should no longer result in an Ice::TimeoutException exception if the patching takes a long time. - Fixed IceGrid to no longer return Ice::NoEndpointExceptio
