- <p>Earlier, Orber did not use the IIOP/GIOP version specified
- in an external object key when invoking an intra-ORB request.</p>

- <p>The OMG standard now support an Interoperable Naming Service.
- Initially there where two proposals of which Orber earlier
- supported one of them. Now both standards are supported.</p>

- <item>
- <p>The OMG have redefined the operator, used when encoding requests via IIOP,
- for the function <c>corba_object:non_existent/1</c>. CORBA version 2.0 and
- 2.2 compliant ORB:s is supposed to support the old definition, while
- later versions, i.e., 2.3, is supposed to use the new operator
- (<c>_non_existent</c> instead of <c>_not_existent</c>). Orber accepts
- both versions.</p>

- <p>If an Orber node crashed and was restarted the object keys could
- point to other processes than it should, which may cause problems if,
- for example, the other process terminates due to it does not handle
- unknown messages. Now Orber GC object keys for objects residing on the
- crashed node. If Orber is started as a multi-node ORB of which one or
- more nodes runs an older Orber version they can still communicate but
- with an increased overhead. Hence, all nodes should be upgraded during
- a relatively short time. If Orber is stopped, i.e., orber:stop() or
- a shutdown is generated, objects residing on that node will be terminated.</p>

- <p>If an IDL-file contains two interfaces of which the first one
- contains an exception and the second interface, which inherits the first
- one, contain an operation which raises this exception the IFR
- failed since multiple references where found when invoking
- orber_ifr:lookup_id/2. Now fixed.</p>

- <p>To be able to start Orber as lightweight the mnesia application
- cannot be listed in the "orber.app" file. You might find it
- necessary to add 'mnesia' to the applications-list.
- For example, you cannot upgrade an older version
- of Orber (not started as lightweight) to this version without
- adding mnesia to the application dependencies list.</p>

- </item>
- <item>
- <p>The function <c>corba_object:non_existent/1</c> have been updated
- to follow the CORBA 2.3 standard. Hence, Intra-ORB communication
- with ORB:s not supporting this standard will fail. The operation
- <c>corba_object:not_existent/1</c> allow users to use the old standard.
- Consult the ORB vendor's documentation to decide which function to use.</p>

- <p>The function <c>start_lightweight/1</c> have been added to the

- lightweight without, or override, the configuration parameter
- <c>-orber lightweight</c>.</p>
- <p>Own id: -</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>A new configuration parameter, 'iiop_connection_timeout Secs', is now
- available. This parameter's purpose, is to terminate the socket
- connection on the client side if a time span of Secs seconds have passed.
- The connection will, however, NOT be terminated if a client still waits
- for a reply. For the last scenario to happen, the client have been
- configured to use a larger timeout value than the configuration
- parameter 'iiop_connection_timeout' have been set to.</p>

- <item>
- <p>Up until now, invoking an an operation with an extra Timeout parameter
- (using the IC option: ic:gen(IdlFile, [{timeout,"module::interface"}])),
- only applied to local Objects. Now, using the IC option above, when
- compiling the stubs, and adding the extra Timeout parameter, a timeout
- will also be triggered when calling Objects residing on other ORB:s.
- The return value, after a timeout has been triggered, have changed from
- an EXIT message to raising the system exception COMM_FAILURE. For more
- information, about how this feature interacts with the configuration
- parameter 'iiop_timeout', consult the documentation.</p>

- <p>When using invalid intra-ORB configuration, i.e., incorrect

- <p>Previously the OMG have published two suggestions for <c>Interoperable Name Service</c>,
- of which, the <c>CORBA 3</c> specify <c>orbos/98-10-11</c> to be implemented.
- Unfortunately, the Interoperable Name Service Orber supports, is the one not chosen.
- Hence, the <c>InitialReferences.idl</c> will not be according to the future standard.
- The modules name is now changed from <c>CORBA</c> to <c>Orber</c>. This will affect
- code which are using this interface. The idl specification must be recompiled and
- then <c>CORBA</c> must be changed to <c>Orber</c> in the client.</p>
