Release Notes
This release is an bug fix version that brings more stability to the application
With this release, we also introduce a new distribution of Waarp R66 with
pre-configured portable archives.
Finally, we are in the process of rewriting Waarp R66 documentation to bring
a better organization and more clarity.
New Distribution
The archives provided for Waarp R66 were too complex : badly documented, hard to
apprehend and difficult to operate.
So we have been working on a new distribution more accessible to reduce the time
used to go from unzipping to starting the server.
In a first phase, we integrated this distribution in our RPMs that can be
installes via our Red Hat 6 repository (similar
repositories will soon be available for Red Hat 7 and Debian).
From this version on, it is available in the form of portable archives (the only
external dependency is Java, which must be previously installed).
This distribution has the following advantages:
- It can be unzipped anywhere on the drive or be moved and still work
- A pre-configured set of XML files is available for a real quickstart
- Every Waarp R66 server and client commands are accessible through two scripts,
waarp-r66server.shandwaarp-r66client.sh
Both distributions are available in our download site :
- New distribution: archives
waarp-r66-*.linux.tar.gzetwaarp-r66-*.windows.zip - Old distribution: archive
waarp-r66-3.0.9.zip
Documentation
Waarp R66 documentation is currently under heavy rewriteto be more clear, better
organized and and more opration-oriented. The goal is to replace the reference
currently available at https://waarp.github.io/Waarp .
During this rewrite, it is available in our documentation
space.
The new documentation is restricted to the new distribution (RPMs and portable
archives).
Bind Port Errors
Before this release, Waarp R66 could start without errors, even when it could
not bind to configured ports for R66 protocol (clear and TLS), especially when
they are already in use. It was the cause of hard-to-detect errors.
From now on, the server start stops in this case with an error message.
Upgrade
Upgrade from a 3.0.X version is straightforward and can be done by replacing all
jars with the ones contained in the package.
