1  CORBA Release Notes

1 CORBA Release Notes

  • In the README are the OTP requirements for building Corba updated and the build instructions for installing Corbas documentation into the OTP documentation tree.

    Own Id: OTP-17983 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-766

  • Fix error in the ic java backend that could cause faulty encodings.

    Own Id: OTP-17887 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-750

  • Fix dialyzer warnings in the files generated by the noc backend.

    Own Id: OTP-17309 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-426

  • Corrected the unique reference handling when using an IC generated erlang client against a c server.

    Own Id: OTP-17268 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-615

  • Corrected the encoding of the unique reference encoding in an IC generated java client.

    Own Id: OTP-17269

  • Remove old erl_interface dependency and clean up erlang code warnings. Note this version depends on erl_interface-4.0 (first satisfied in OTP 23.0)

    Own Id: OTP-16855 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-521

  • Fixed install for IC. Headers, libraries, and IDL files are now installed under $RELEASE_ROOT/usr regardless of type of install.

    Own Id: OTP-15197 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-202

  • Optimize encoding/decoding for pure 7-bit ascii atoms in IC.

    Own Id: OTP-15023 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-150

  • Fixed various build issues. Note that you need to build the corba repo against an OTP of at least version 21.0.3. See the README.md file for updated build instructions.

    Own Id: OTP-15177 Aux Id(s): OTP-14283, OTP-15176, ERIERL-198, ERIERL-202, ERL-640

  • Fixed potential buffer overflow bugs in IC oe_ei_encode_long/ulong/longlong/ulonglong functions on 64-bit architectures. These functions expect 32 bit integers as the IDL type long is defined as 32 bits. But there is nothing preventing user code from "breaking" the interface and pass larger values on 64-bit architectures where the C type long is 64 bits.

    Own Id: OTP-15179 Aux Id(s): ERIERL-208

  • First version of the standalone repository for the corba applications.

    All corba applications are from version 4.5 handled as one entity. and all the release notes are handled on the Corba level.

    Own Id: OTP-14283

  • Removed all old unused files in the documentation.

    Own Id: OTP-14475 Aux Id: ERL-409, PR-1493

  • Internal changes

    Own Id: OTP-13551

  • Suppress Dialyzer warnings.

    Own Id: OTP-12862

  • Remove the usage of erlang:now() from all Corba applications and use the new rand module instead of random.

    Own Id: OTP-12687

  • The default encoding of Erlang files has been changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.

    The encoding of XML files has also been changed to UTF-8.

    Own Id: OTP-10907

  • Misc build updates

    Own Id: OTP-10784

  • Erlang/OTP can now be built using parallel make if you limit the number of jobs, for instance using 'make -j6' or 'make -j10'. 'make -j' does not work at the moment because of some missing dependencies.

    Own Id: OTP-9451

  • Removed superfluous usage of shy in the documentation since it can cause problem if a buggy tool is used.

    Own Id: OTP-9319 Aux Id:

  • Eliminated Dialyzer warnings when using exit or throw.

    Own Id: OTP-9050 Aux Id:

  • Test suites published.

    Own Id: OTP-8543 Aux Id:

  • The documentation EIX file was not generated.

    Own id: OTP-8355 Aux Id:

  • The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

    Own Id: OTP-8201 Aux Id:

  • Obsolete guards, e.g. record vs is_record, has been changed to avoid compiler warnings.

    Own id: OTP-7987

  • Updated file headers.

    Own id: OTP-7837

  • Documentation source included in open source releases.

    Own id: OTP-7595

  • Updated file headers.

    Own id: OTP-7011

  • The documentation source has been converted from SGML to XML.

    Own id: OTP-6754

  • Minor Makefile changes.

    Own id: OTP-6701

  • The stub/skeleton-files generated by IC have been improved, i.e., depending on the IDL-files, reduced the size of the erl- and beam-files and decreased dependencies off Orber's Interface Repository. It is necessary to re-compile all IDL-files and use COS-applications, including Orber, compiled with IC-4.2.

    Own id: OTP-4576

  • An includepath in CosTimerEvent.idl have been changed. Hence, if you include this file you should check your include paths for your IDL-file(s), i.e., add the path to CosEventComm.idl.

    Own Id: OTP-4093

  • First release of the cosTime application.
