6.31 Release

6.31 Released 8/27/2015

• The ChildProcessDataIO class now has a DidChildProcessCrash()
  method that will return true iff WaitForChildProcessToExit()
  detected that the child process exited due to an unhandled
  signal rather than via a normal process termination.
• In v6.30, the windows implementation of ChildProcessDataIO
  would always hide the child process's windows, even in cases
  where it was desirable for the child process's windows to be
  visible. To avoid that misbehavior, the child process's windows
  are now hidden only if the CHILD_PROCESS_LAUNCH_BIT_WIN32_HIDE_GUI
  bit is set in the (launchBits) argument.
• Some of the the DOxygen comments for enumerations in the
  header files were not formed correctly, so the DOxygen
  HTML pages would leave them undocumented. Fixed.
• Fixed a compiler warning in MessageField::IsEqualTo().

6.30 Release

6.30 Released 8/11/2015

• The Message class now uses special-case variant logic for fields
  that contain only a single value, so that in the common case
  the allocation of an AbstractDataArray object is avoided.
• Added a convenience overload of GetMessageFromPool() that
  takes a ByteBufferRef as its argument.
• Merged in Mika's patch to fix the _sntprintf_s() calls in
  the Windows implementation of SysLog.cpp.
• DetectNetworkConfigChanges.cpp would fail to compile under Windows
  under some circumstances, due to unicode-string handling issues.
  Fixed.
• Added spaces to *_FORMAT_SPEC tokens in dataio/RS232DataIO.cpp
• Added missing namespace qualifiers to MCRASH() macro, so that it
  can be called from another namespace.
• Fixed a bug in the Hashtable class that could cause crashes
  after a call to EnsureSize(0, true).
• Message::Unflatten() now resizes the Message's entries-Hashtable
  to be the exact size of the number of entries it will contain.
• Added some #includes to the gz*.c zlib files so "implicit
  function declaration" warnings are no longer emitted when
  compiling under MacOS/X.
• Fixed a static-initialization-ordering bug in the ObjectCounterBase
  class that could cause it to try and lock an invalid Mutex during
  process startup or shutdown.
• Under Windows, use of the ChildProcessDataIO class could cause
  an empty Console window to appear. That no longer happens.

6.23 release

6.23 Release 7/7/2015

• The StringMatcher class now has a IsPatternListOfUniqueValues()
  method that returns true iff the that pattern is a comma-separated
  list of non-wildcarded values.
• NodePathMatcher::DoTraversalAux() was using a Queue as a cache,
  which could be inefficient due to O(N^2) lookups in certain cases.
  Replaced it with a Hashtable for better performance.
• Optimized the NodePathMatcher algorithm to be more efficient
  when node-paths that include clauses that are long lists of
  comma-separated node names.
• SharedFilterSessionFactory.cpp wouldn't compile if
  -DMUSCLE_AVOID_IPV6 was specified on the compile line. Fixed.

6.22 release

6.22 Released 6/11/2015

• Added an IsWaitingForEvents() method to ReflectServer class,
  so that a (user-supplied) watchdog thread can observe when the
  ReflectServer is blocked waiting for I/O vs when it is doing
  something.
• Added Mika's vc++14 subdirectory, which contains Visual C++
  project files for Visual Studio 2015.
• DataNode::GetAncestorNode() now takes an optional second argument
  that tells it what to return if the ancestor node isn't found.
  o Added some more Cygwin/MinGW compatibility changes contributed
  by Mika Lindqvist.
  o Rewrote some of the node-traversal callback methods so that they
  no longer pass an integer argument by casting it to (void *).
• Tweaked various files to fix warnings reported by cppcheck 1.69.
• The stdout-display in qt_muscled wasn't read-only. Fixed.

6.21 release

6.21 Released 5/14/2015
o Merged in Mika Lindqvist's patch to make the StackWalker code
use less stack space.
o Merged in Mika Linkdqvist's patches for better Cygwin compatibility.

• Made the StackWalker code a bit more robust.
• Merged in Mika Lindqvist's patch to the VC++12 projects
  to link debug builds against the MultiThreadedDebug
  run time library rather than the MultiThreaded library.
• Fixed a couple of const-correctness issues in the StackWalker code.
  o Modified the Windows implementation of GetNetworkInterfaceInfos()
  to not specify an interface index for IPv6 network device address
  ::1, as doing so causes UDP-packet-routing problems under Windows 7.

v6.12 release

6.12 Released 4/6/2015

• The Python message_transceiver_thread class will now
  fall back to connecting via IPv4 if the supplied hostname
  cannot be expanded to an IPv6 address (and vice versa).
• Added a NotCopyable base class to various classes
  (Socket, DataNode, AbstractReflectSession, etc) so that
  the compiler will verify that they are not being copied.
• The StringMatcher class now interprets any simple wildcard
  string starting with a backtick character (`) as indicating
  a non-simple regex string. That way it is possible to use
  the standard regex functionality, if desired, in contexts
  that otherwise provide no way to indicate that a string
  is meant to be a full regex string and not a simple wildcard
  string (e.g. in MUSCLE subscription strings)
• Tweaked the codebase to get rid of a number of style
  problems and minor errors that were reported by cppcheck.
• Added a patch to the captive regex library to fix a
  potential int32-overrun in regcomp(). Thanks to Mika
  Lindqvist for supplying me with the patch.
• Merged in some patches from Mika Lindqvist to avoid
  some warnings when compiling in a 64-bit environment.

6.05 release

6.05 Released 6/27/2014

• Upgraded the captive zlib implementation to v1.2.8.
• Moved public repository from FreeCode to GitHub, because
  FreeCode no longer accepts release announcements.
• Renamed LICENSE.txt to LICENSE, since that's how GitHub
  likes the license file to be named.
• Merged in Mika Lindqvist's patch to avoid some truncation
  warnings for strlen() calls under 64-bit Visual C++.
