Removed superfluous VT in the documentation.

Own id: OTP-8353 Aux Id:

Removed superfluous backslash in the documentation.

Own id: OTP-8354 Aux Id:

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Own Id: OTP-8201 Aux Id:

Obsolete guards, e.g. record vs is_record, has been changed to avoid compiler warnings.

Own id: OTP-7987

Only the source instance of InitialReference.java is now included. Users are adviced to use the Interoperable Naming Service (INS) instead. INS is a part of the OMG standard specification.

Updated file headers.

Own id: OTP-7837

Documentation source included in open source releases.

Own id: OTP-7595

Updated file headers.

Own id: OTP-7011

Now compliant with the new behavior of stdlib.

Own id: OTP-7030 Aux Id: seq10827

When a local port range has been defined (i.e. iiop_out_ports), Orber set the socket option reuseaddr to true and after one timed out connection attempt no other port in the given range is used for that particular connect attempt.

Own Id: OTP-6844 Aux Id:

Possible to override global SSL parameters when using local interfaces.

Own Id: OTP-6869 Aux Id: seq10742

The parameter ssl_client_ciphers was used on the server side as well instead of ssl_server_ciphers.

Own Id: OTP-6868 Aux Id:

The configuration parameter iiop_max_in_requests was ignored, until the first incoming request arrived, if iiop_packet_size was set.

Own Id: OTP-6912 Aux Id:

The documentation source has been converted from SGML to XML.

Own Id: OTP-6754 Aux Id:

It is now possible to configure incoming connections which overrides some global configuration parameters. See orber:add_listen_interface/2/3.

Own Id: OTP-6696 Aux Id:

Removed some unused code.

Own Id: OTP-6527 Aux Id:

Orber can now be configured so that different NAT parameters can be specified for different interfaces.

Own Id: OTP-6165 Aux Id:

It is now possible to set the keepalive option for incoming and outgoing IIOP connections. For more information, see the Configuration chapter in the User's Guide.

Own Id: OTP-6370 Aux Id: seq10532

The new function orber:close_connection/1/2 allows a client to close connections to an object residing on a remote ORB.

Own Id: OTP-6371 Aux Id: seq10532

Orber now use the SSL two-phase accept strategy to avoid that new incoming connections via SSL are not blocked by a previous connect attempt that never initiated the SSL handshake. Note, the configuration parameter iiop_ssl_accept_timeout should be set (default infinity). For more information, see the Configuration chapter in the User's Guide. If Orber is started in secure mode, the installed SSL version must support ssl:ssl_accept/1/2 and ssl:transport_accept/1/2.

Own Id: OTP-6372 Aux Id: seq10105

The operation orber_ifr:contents/2 could only handle dk_All.

Own Id: OTP-6385 Aux Id:

When installing Orber it is now possible to set the priority for Orber internal Mnesia tables. For more information, see the Reference Manual regarding orber:install/2.

Own Id: OTP-5907 Aux Id: seq10156

The operation corba_object:is_a/2/3 now only connect to a remote ORB if necessary (i.e. the target object inherits from objects associated with the given IFR id).

Own Id: OTP-5908

The operation corba_object:is_remote/1 always returned true, which was introduced in orber-3.2.10.

Own Id: OTP-5909

Native interceptors may now export new_in_connection and new_out_connection operations with arity 5. If this is the case, information about the local interface and port is passed to the interceptor. Orber's built in interceptors have been changed to include this information as well.

Own Id: OTP-5671

In some cases, e.g. incorrect GIOP headers or a CancelRequest containing a non-existing RequestId, the incoming connection would be terminated.

Own Id: OTP-5672 Aux Id: seq10037

If combining the 'Use Current Interface in IOR' and 'Use IPv6' flags, exported IOR:s contained an incorrect host address.

Own Id: OTP-5673

Reduced overhead when using outgoing ACL with a local interface defined.

Own Id: OTP-5659

Added guards to ensure that, when so required, a list of IOP_ServiceContext's is passed instead of, for example, just the context record.

Own Id: OTP-5660

The documentation referred to two different context definitions, the incorrect ServiceContext and the correct IOP_ServiceContext. The hrl file PATH/include/corba.hrl also contained the incorrect record definition. This has now been updated so that only IOP_ServiceContext is used and referred to.

Own Id: OTP-5658

It is now possible to define a Access Control List (ACL), which limits the host and ports Orber may connect to or accept connections from.

Own Id: OTP-5567

It is now possible to add, and remove, listen interfaces. For more information, consult the User's Guide and the orber module Reference Manual.

Own Id: OTP-5568

It is now possible to activate and deactivate Audit/Trail logging. One of the three built in interceptors will be used depending on the requested verbosity.

Own Id: OTP-5569

It is now possible to configure Orber to add the interface, to exported local IOR:s, a Request came via.

Own Id: OTP-5570

It is now possible to instruct Orber which local interface an outgoing Request shall be sent via. To accomplish this the Orber generic context must be added added to each invocation.

Own Id: OTP-5571

It is now possible to define a default local interface, which Orber will use when connecting to another ORB.
