[GRIDRPC-WG] DIET 2.8 is available

[Eddy Caron]

Dear all,

	Attend the DIET Special Event at SC'11 with ... the new release of DIET 

		DIET 'SC11' Release 2.8 and tools are now available on the DIET Web Site: http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/DIET/download.html

	Visit INRIA booth #127 and SysFera booth #4211 at SC'11 

1. What's new in DIET 'SC11' 2.8 ?
------------------------------------------------ 

* Features:
        - New forwarders: they do not need a configuration file anymore, and they can be started at any time.
        - CORBA calls are more robust: Two handlers for communication failures and transient exceptions have been added. 
        - a new tool has been introduced: dietObjects. It mimics the behavior of nameclt, but restricted to DIET CORBA objects.
	- dietObjects also shows which object is managed by which forwarder (or through which forwarder an object is accessible).

* Compilation 

        - DIET now requires Boost to compile.
        - removed dependency towards libuuid, we now use Boost UUID instead
        - endianness is now managed with Boost
        - replaced usage of fnmatch by boost:regex
        - intermediary libraries are not installed anymore

* Source code organization:

        - we now use a modified version of cpplint (http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cpplint/cpplint.py) 
	  for checking our code against our coding standards.
        - we removed all deprecated code and documentation:
          	- JXTA: was used to build a multi-MA hierarchy using a P2P approach
          	- DTM: the former data manager
          	- JUXMEM: was a P2P data manager used in conjunction with DTM
          	- FD: fault detector
          	- FAST: performance evaluation plugin
          	- TAU: a code profiler
        	- old CVS headers have been removed and replaced by Doxygen headers
        	- move FWorkflow.dtd from /etc to /usr/share/diet since it's application data (accordingly to FHS)

* List of available packages 

	- Debian 'Sid'
	- Fedora 16 
	- Fedora 15 

* Bug Fix:

        - Forwarders now unregister themselves from omniNames when they are shut down properly.
        - Forwarders can be launched after any DIET element
        - To avoid problems when a file managed by DAGDA is modified outside DAGDA, we know compute the files sizes before any transfer.
        - Let CMake manage rpath. Thus, you need to explicitly set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

2. What's new in LogServices 'SC11' 2.8 ?

* Bug Fix:

        - Forwarders now unregister themselves from omniNames when they are shut down properly.
        - Forwarders can be launched after LogCentral or a tool.
        - Let CMake handle rpath


Enjoy
