Changelog for 5.8.2. (v5-stable)
Version 5.8.2 [V5-stable] (rgerhards), 2011-06-21
- bugfix: problems in failover action handling
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254 - bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processing
At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown, which
may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is quite
unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be
corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected
this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some
users may have had unreproducable aborts that were cause by this bug. - bugfix: memory leak in imtcp & subsystems under some circumstances
This leak is tied to error conditions which lead to incorrect cleanup
of some data structures. [backport from v6] - bugfix/improvement:$WorkDirectory now gracefully handles trailing slashes
