Changelog for 6.5.0 (v6-devel)

Version 6.5.0  [devel] 2012-08-28

  • imrelp now supports non-cancel thread termination
    (but now requires at least librelp 1.0.1)
  • implemented freeCnf() module interface
    This was actually not present in older versions, even though some modules already used it. The implementation was now done, and not in 6.3/6.4 because the resulting memory leak was ultra-slim and the new interface handling has some potential to seriously break things. Not the kind of thing you want to add in late beta state, if avoidable.
  • added –enable-debugless configure option for very high demanding envs
    This actually at compile time disables a lot of debug code, resulting in some speedup (but serious loss of debugging capabilities)
  • added new 0mq plugins (via czmq lib)
    Thanks to David Kelly for contributing these modules
  • bugfix: omhdfs did no longer compile
  • bugfix: SystemLogSocketAnnotate did not work correctly
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch
  • $SystemLogParseTrusted config file option
    Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch
  • added template config directive
  • added new uuid message property
    Thanks to Jérôme Renard for the idea and patches.
