<h1>1 Orber Release Notes</h1>
<h3><a name="id60614">1.1
Orber 3.6.24</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Fix number of arguments in orber dbg printout</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9887</p>
</li>
<li>
<p> The descriptions of <span class="code">ssl_server_options</span> and
<span class="code">ssl_client_options</span> are corrected.<br> Seq. Id:
seq12018 </p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9966 Aux Id: OTP-9773 </p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id64676">1.2
Orber 3.6.23</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p> Remove usage of ssl:seed/1 in orber test cases. </p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9728</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Erlang/OTP can now be built using parallel make if you
limit the number of jobs, for instance using '<span class="code">make
-j6</span>' or '<span class="code">make -j10</span>'. '<span class="code">make -j</span>' does not
work at the moment because of some missing
dependencies.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9451</p>
</li>
<li>
<p> The SSL option handling has been changed. There are
now two new orber options <span class="code">ssl_server_options</span> and
<span class="code">ssl_client_options</span> which takes a list of options
to the socket. </p> <p> The old options are now
deprecated and removed from the documentation but they
can still be used for backward compatibility as long as
the two new options not are used. </p> <p> If
<span class="code">ssl_server_options</span> and <span class="code">ssl_client_options</span>
contain an TCP option that <span class="code">orber</span> needs to set to a
specific value it will be skipped and a warning will be
written to the error_log. </p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9773 Aux Id: seq11932 </p>

<h3><a name="id56739">1.6
Orber 3.6.19</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Partial support for recursive structs and unions.
Only available for the erl_corba backend and requires
that Light IFR is used. I.e. the IC option {light_ifr, true}
and that Orber is configured in such a way that Light IFR
is activated. Recursive TypeCode is currently not supported.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8868 Aux Id: seq11633</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The SSL option {ssl_imp, old} was not used if ssl_generation was
set to 2. Only R14B was affected by this.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-8994 Aux Id: seq11747</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id56800">1.7
Orber 3.6.18</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A corbaloc http string could return an EXIT message, instead
of a system exception, if the HTTP server closed the socket
without returning a complete message. I.e. header and a body
containing a stringified IOR.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-8900 Aux Id: seq11704</p>

</ul>
<h3><a name="id61345">1.17
Orber 3.6.8</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>When a local port range has been defined (i.e. iiop_out_ports),

</ul>
<h3><a name="id57369">1.20

<p>Own Id: OTP-6371 Aux Id: seq10532</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-6372 Aux Id: seq10105</p>
</li>

associated with the given IFR id).</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5908</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The operation corba_object:is_remote/1 always returned

Orber 3.6.2</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5671</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>In some cases, e.g. incorrect GIOP headers or a CancelRequest
containing a non-existing RequestId, the incoming connection
would be terminated.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5672 Aux Id: seq10037</p>

<p>Reduced overhead when using outgoing ACL with a local interface
defined.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5659</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added guards to ensure that, when so required, a list
of IOP_ServiceContext's is passed instead of, for example,
just the context record.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5660</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5658</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id62897">1.25
Orber 3.6</a></h3>

orber module Reference Manual.</p>

logging. One of the three built in interceptors will be used
depending on the requested verbosity.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5569</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It is now possible to configure Orber to add the interface,
to exported local IOR:s, a Request came via.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5570</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5571</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It is now possible to define a default local interface,
which Orber will use when connecting to another ORB.</p>
<p>Own Id: OTP-5583</p>
