It is an experimental version that has been primarily tested on Linux. It should work for other Unixes. The code has been heavily tested, and I'm waiting for comments and bug reports. All the best, Ohad. RELEASE_NOTES for Ensemble version 1.31 Author: Ohad Rodeh Last updated: 13/11/2001 CHANGES This experimental version contains an improved C-interface, whose performance is identical to the native ML interface. Zero-copying technology is used whereby IO-vectors are passed between C and ML without copying. This interface is named CE, short for "native Ensemble C interface". CE has nothing to do with the old C interface, HOT. An additional chapter was added to the tutorial explaining CE. In detail: 1. The underlying routers, socket library, and reference counting code were completely rewritten. 2. The reference manual and tuturial were updated. 3. Removed 4-byte alignment restriction from the system. 4. No longer supported: - Mpi, Atm, and Sp2. - Threaded scheduling. - The Old ML interface. - Removed support for high-encryption, only RC4 is natively supported. This is to abide by US encryption restrictions. -RPC code. 5. Small changes and bug fixes: - Fixed two race conditions in maestro (contributed by Mouna Seri) - Fixed the dbm demo. - Outboard now works only with TCP. - Catch EBUF error in HSYS. - Ported Tk to run on the new LablTk API. The life demo runs fine, the wbml does not (yet). - Pgp now works on WIN32. - A large number of small changes. OCAML COMPILER VERSION We are using version 3.01 for this version. PORTABILITY This version was tested on Linux only. It should run fine on a Sparc/Solaris architecture, but will not run on WIN32 platforms. ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
