As usual, the sources, documentation, and pre-compiled binaries for windows and linux can be downloaded from the system's site at www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Projects/Ensemble. Ensemble is a group-communication system built in ML, and enjoying performance equal or superior to similar systems built in C. It also features an extensive C interface. The system was built in Cornell and the Hebrew universities. As an aside to recent discussions on the list, I'd be very happy if Caml libraries were shared libraries, and if exported interfaces (mli) were binary-compatible across changes in the library internals. Below the release notes are attached. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE_NOTES for Ensemble version 1.35 1. Added a "local" stack, which simply adds property local to vsync. 2. Some slight typing changes in the Hsys module, requested by Roy Friedman. 3. Removed spurious logical-time in outboard mode (HOT). This improves line-utilization for HOT applications using outboard mode. 4. Added outboard mode to CE. This allows using Ensemble through a server and a thin client library. This is a step forward in the rewrite of the HOT interface. Eventually, we intend to completely replace it with CE, using a thin overlay layer to mimic HOT semantics. 5. make depend now works on WIN32. The make sequence is now on all platforms: for bytecode: make depend make all for optimized code: make depend make opt 6. Added staggering to the Suspect and Stability layers. This means that instead of a flood of messages sent when suspicions and stability information is computed, such events are scattered. This prevents implosion at the group leader. This was suggested by Roy Friedman. 7. Several small bug fixes and cleanup. OCAML COMPILER VERSION We are using version 3.04 for this version. PORTABILITY This version was tested on Linux, and WIN2000. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ohad Rodeh tel: +972-9-9527641 IBM Haifa, storage research ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
