Own Id: OTP-4576

1.25 cosNotification 1.0.6

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

The exception CosNotifyFilter::InvalidValue, raised by the operation CosNotifyFilter::MappingFilter::add_mapping_constraints, did not contain correct data in the body. Hence, it was not possible to pass this exception to another ORB.

Own Id: OTP-4412
It was not possible to set the QoS property PacingInterval to zero and the default value was not compliant with the OMG specification. The default value for MaximumBatchSize have also been changed du to the same reason.

Own Id: OTP-4413, OTP-4414

Incompatibilities

The default value, for the QoS properties PacingInterval and MaximumBatchSize, have been changed to zero (i.e. no timeout) and 1 respectively, which is compliant with the OMG specification.

When using Filter's, with the QoS OrderPolicy set to FifoOrder, and passing a sequence of structured events, they could be delivered in the wrong order.

Own Id: OTP-4272
If Filter's where attached to Supplier proxies it could cause the Proxy to terminate.

Own Id: OTP-4272

1.27 cosNotification 1.0.4

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

Own Id: OTP-4099
SupplierAdmin's did not filter any events, even though Filter objects had been attached to the SupplierAdmin.

Own Id: OTP-4098
If one used the '_get_default_supplier_admin'/1, exported by the CosNotifyChannelAdmin_EventChannel-module, it resulted in a loop which overloaded the channel. This is no longer the case.

Own Id: OTP-4086
If one used the '_get_default_filter_factory'/1, exported by the CosNotifyChannelAdmin_EventChannel-module, a new instance was created each time. Now fixed.

Own Id: OTP-4092

Incompatibilities

The include paths for CosNotification.idl have been changed. Hence, if you include this file in your own IDL-files you must update your paths to also point to where the cosEvent IDL-files are stored.

Own Id: OTP-4093

Improvements and New Features

It is now possible to start global channel factories.

Own Id: OTP-4078
The Orber, version 3.2.5 or later, configuration parameter orber_debug_level can now be used to generate reports when abnormal situations occurs. For more information consult the Orber User's Guide.

The value of orber_debug_level must be 3, or higher, for reports to be generated.

Own Id: OTP-4077, OTP-3962

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

When using the cosEvent API accessing a cosNotification admins the objects returned by the functions obtain_push_supplier, obtain_pull_supplier, obtain_push_consumer and obtain_pull_consumer was not of the correct type. Due to the interface change it is not possible to upgrade during runtime.
