OpenDDS 2.1
Release notes for Version 2.1 of OpenDDS
New to this version are the following changes:
- The OpenDDS-Bench performance testing framework has been enhanced to
include the following:- extended to allow fixed rate testing;
- added predefined latency test configuration files;
- added data reduction scripts to post process test results;
- added data visualization scripts using gnuplot to create charts
from reduced test data.
Documentation is located at: $DDS_ROOT/performance-tests/Bench/doc.
- The monitor library introduces a new instrumentation mechanism for
reporting OpenDDS run-time information. This information is
intended to supplement that provided by the standard-defined
Built-In-Topics. See $DDS_ROOT/dds/monitor/README for further
details. - A new instrumentation application is available to view executing
OpenDDS service Entities. This is located at: $DDS_ROOT/tools/odds_monitor. - The opendds_repo_ctl tool has been moved from $DDS_ROOT/dds/tools to
$DDS_ROOT/tools. The name has also been changed to odds_repoctl to
reflect changes in naming conventions in this release. - A new multicast transport is available which replaces the older
ReliableMulticast and SimpleMcast transports. For a detailed description
of the design, configuration, known issues, and potential enhancements,
see: $DDS_ROOT/docs/html/multicast/multicast.html. - A new udp transport is available which replaces the older SimpleUdp
transport. Like SimpleUdp, udp provides best-effort reliablity only;
its use should be considered experimental. - Numerous bugs in the Extensible Transport Framework (ETF) have been
addressed to improve the stability of new and existing transports. - Formal ranges of DDS::DomainId_t values are now specified; users have
full access to all DomainId values between 0x0 and 0x7fffffff. All other
values are reserved for use by the implementation.
