- Upgrade incompatibilities: notes for developers
+ What has changed in skalibs
- From previous versions to 2.0.0.0
+ in 2.0.0.0
- - The packaging system has changed.
+ - The packaging system has completely changed.
+ - Programs should now link with -lskarnet followed by the appropriate
+sysdeps links.
- No compatibility is ensured. Most APIs haven't changed, but no guarantee
is offered.
- The most important change is probably the disparition of struct tai
and struct taia, replaced with the tai_t and tain_t
types. Attosecond precision has been removed - processor speed is almost capped now,
and it looks like nanosecond precision will be enough for the foreseeable future.
- - Programs should now link with -lskarnet followed by the appropriate
-sysdeps links.
+ - Buffer implementation has changed, and some interfaces too, mainly the
+buffer_flush and bufalloc_flush return code.
+ - skaclient, skalibs' client-server communication suite, has been
+entirely reimplemented: it's now using the new "unixmessage" set of primitives
+for easier fd-passing.
