libivy-java (1.2.16) unstable; urgency=low
  * New API:
        - IvyClient.getRegexps  no longer returns an Enumeration, but a
        Collection
  * Internals:
        - switched to a lot of synchronized connections, in order to avoid
        concurrent modifications Exceptions I was unable to prevent so far

libivy-java (1.2.15) unstable; urgency=low
  * Internals:
        - sets the default buffersize to 4096 bytes. This can be adjusted
        through the use of the IVY_BUFFERSIZE jvm property (java
        -DIVY_BUFFERSIZE=200 , e.g. ) This is intended to be similar to the
        ivy C implementation, and *should* fix the buffering issues of
        applications requiring a lot of small data exchanges (e.g:
        transmitting mouse mouve at a high rate).
   * New API:
        - added sypport to the Swing Dispatch Thread in the bindAsyncMsg api.
        this breaks the former API. Use BindType.SWING as the latter argument.
        - severe problems throws RuntimeException instead of System.exit(),
        allows code reuse.
        - many methods now are protected, with accessors
        - removed unread fields (Ivy.domainaddr, e.g.)
        - ready message is set to appName + " READY" if null has been
        provided, like in the C# api
        - lowercase CheckRegexp to checkRegexp (bad practice, thanks to
        FindBugs).
   * Doc:
        - javadoc updated (a bit)
        - removed protected methods from javadoc
        switch to apache fop + docbook for documentation translation
   * Internals:
        - added a lock mechanism to be sure that once a connexion
        has been initiated, the ready message will be sent before
        stopping the bus now: Ivy b = new Ivy(...); b.sendMsg("coucou");
        b.stop(); should send messages (at least the ready message)
        if there is a connexion attempt made before b.stop() is
        effective. To be sure, there is a 200ms delay before b.stop()
        can be effective (the Threads stopped, the sockets closed)
        - IMPORTANT ! switch from gnu regexp (deprecated) to the
        built in java
        regexp.
        - IMPORTANT ! Reintroduced a mechanism to allow the drop of a double
        connexion attempt.
        - use new synchronization scheme with locks (app socket, structures)
        - add generic types to declarations, the code now won't ompile on java
        prior to the 1.5 platform
        - fixed a potential null pointer dereference on quit (thanks to
        findBugs)
        - remove the Thread.start() from the constructor, to avoid mulithread
        issues. see
        http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#SC_START_IN_CTOR.
        now ,we have to call IvyClient.start() after it has been created
        - IvyWatcher tries to fix a lock on accept() by becoming a Thread
        instead of runnalbe (see tests/test2).
   * Internal performance issus
        - use of stringbuffers to concatenate strings, instead of using +,
        which could lead to a quadractic cost in the number of iteraction (the
        growing string was recopied in each iteration).
        - when possible, move the regexp Pattern.compile in static areas, to
        avoid multiple calls.
        - recopy the filter String[] in setfilter, to avoid exposing internal
        representation (unsafe operation).
        - in many areas, e.g. Hashtable keys, use autoboxing for the creation
        of Integer (instead of new Integer(int). This alows caching, avoids
        object allocation, and the *  code will be faster.

 -- Yannick Jestin <yannick.jestin@enac.fr>  Tue, 18 Jul 2006 18:49:19 +0200

libivy-java (1.2.9) unstable; urgency=low

  bug remaining
    - the overhead is quite important on a loaded setup
  bugfixes
    - unexpected disconnections after the broadcast
  new features
    - Ivy.setFilter() aka message classes, reduces the number of regexp
    matching, improves performance especially when there are *many* clients
    and *many* regexps, most of them ^bounded . See doc for details
    - java -DIVYRANGE=4000-5000 allows the choice of service ports within a
    specific range, for instance on firewall configurations.
    - modification of the IDP broadcast ( see mailing list for details )
    - .time and .bound commands in jprobe

 -- Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>  Thu, 22 Nov 2005 23:09:00 +0100

libivy-java (1.2.8) unstable; urgency=low

  bugfixes
    - fixed the "start stop start stop" bug reported by Francis Jambon (
    thanks alot, Francis ! )
    - validates against the 1.4 jakarta regexp library.
    - IvyWatcher had a static structures leading to a nasty bug when several
    Ivy Agents were in the same JVM.

  new features
    - Ivy.getWBUId() returns a "wanna be unique Id", quite useful when
    performing queries. It looks like IDTest0:1105029280616:1005891134.
    - Ivy.getDomainArgs(String,String[]) is a cheap and handy way of finding out
    the domain, based on the DEFAULT_DOMAIN, then on the IVYBUS property, then on
    the -b domain command line argument. Be sure to use it !
    - added the After tool
    - Probe, After and IvyDaemon going to tool
    - fixed the jprobe shell script to honor $IVYBUS environment variable


 -- Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>  Thu, 22 Nov 2005 23:09:00 +0100

libivy-java (1.2.7) unstable; urgency=low

  bugfixes
    - no more the infamous unBindMsg() reported by Matthieu
    - *complex* algorithm to disallow multiple instances of the same agent
      when launched with multiple broadcast addresses, some of them being
      received twice by a remote agent X, X trying to connect twice ...
      It should fix both Francis's WiFi bugreport, and Jean-Paul Stress' bug

  new features
    - Probe allows .where  .dieall-yes-i-am-sure .bound and .bound CLIENT

  code cleanup
    - minor fixes for acecssing static final values

 -- Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>  Thu, 23 Dec 2004 17:21:00 +0100

libivy-java (1.2.6) unstable; urgency=low

  bugfixes
    - major cleanup to handle simultaneous connections, e.g., between two
      busses  within the same process ( AsyncAPI test is very stressful )
      I made an assymetric processing to elect the client that should
      disconnect based on the socket ports ... might work...
    - jakarta regexp are not meant to be threadsafe, so for match() and
      compile() must be enclaused in a synchronized block
    - now sends back an error message when an incorrect regexp is sent
      the message is supposed to be readable
    - IvyWatcher now uses a new buffer for each Datagram received, to prevent an old bug

  debian package
    - the package name goes to libivy-java, 
    - examples have been added in the documentation and corrected to honor the
      new lib

  documentation
    - the manual has been heavily updated, and C++ has been left out.

  new features
    - Ivy.waitForMsg(regexp,timeout) and Ivy.waitForClient(name,timeout) make
      the synchronization with other Ivy agents easier. Wait "forever" if
      timeout is null.
    - use Ivy.protectNewLine(true) to ensure encoding and decoding of newline
      as 0x1A. As the encoding and decoding cost a little more CPU and is not
      yet standardized in the Ivy protocol, use it at your own risk.
    - IvyClient now sends back an error message when an incorrect regexp is sent
      the message is supposed to be readable
    - uses apache jakarta-regexp instead of gnu-regexp ( see
      http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/ ), we gain a compatibility with Perl
      and the new ivy-c 3.4.6 :)
    - no more java ping in Probe ...
    - use bindAsyncMsg(regexp) to perform each regexp in a new Thread. This
      can avoid hangups when you have lengthy callbacks ( calculation, etc ).
      There is no asynchronous sending of message because the tests are sooooo
      unsuccessful

  API changes
    - Ivy changed changed the semantic of -b a,b:port,c:otherport if no port is
      specified for a, it take the port from the next one. If none is
      specified, it takes DEFAULT_PORT
    - IvyWatcher's getDomain now sends IvyException for malformed broadcast addresses

 -- Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>  Tue, 29 Jul 2004 19:28:00 +0100

ivy-java (1.2.4) unstable; urgency=low

  bugfixes
  - resists when a non Ivy Agent broadcasts on our address
  - invokes disconnect() on a normal IvyClient end of run()
  - bus.start(null) now *really* starts on IVYBUS property or 127:2010 if the
    property is not set
  - bugfix J007 : breaks connexions with remote clients using a faulty
    protocol, ignore subscriptions to faulty regexps.
  - bugfix J006 : invokes the applicationListeners's disconnect method at the
    end of the run() loop
  - the IvyWatcher accepts connexions from remote hosts with the same port
    number. Closes a possible bug, yet to check thoroughfully...
  - bugfix J005 : the IvyWatcher's loop doesn't break on faulty broadcasts,
    belonging to  non ivy application, e.g.
  - major rewrite of the internals of the Ivy class structure

  new features
  - added a sendToSelf(boolean) method in the Ivy class to allow the
    sendMsg() to trigger our own  callbacks. Default is false.

  API Changes (WARNING, you might have to recompile you applications)
  - changed the API for Ivy.sendMsg and IvyClient.sendDirectMsg, both function
    can now raise an IvyException if the message contains \n or \0x3
  - changed the API for IvyApplicationListener ( die now requires a String
      argument ).
  - changed the API for Ivy.bindMsg(). It now raises an IvyException if the
    regexp was not compiled successfully (e.g.: "(.*"). 
  - added an IvyBindListener and Ivy.addBindListener, Ivy.removeBindListener
    order to hook callbacks upon reception of bind requests. It is now
    possible to write a decent ivy monitor program. JProbe has been rewritten
    this way and now displays the subscriptions in real time, not only at
    startup ( should I file a bugreport against ivy-c ? )
  - Probe can send messages to itself, with the -s command line switch


 -- Yannick Jestin <jestin@cena.fr>  Tue, 18 Feb 2003 16:49:00 +0100

ivy-java (1.2.3) unstable; urgency=low

  - debian packaging corrected, now build-depends on java-compiler and
    depends on java-virtual-machine. I should switch to libivy-java.
    The classes are not unpacked in the repository, but whithin a jar file.
  - added a jprobe shell script
  - added the testbench code in the documentation
  - Many bugfixes thanks to a new testbench

   * IvyClient doesn't loop any more on a remote disconnexion
   * early disconnect is now possible without hanging
   * fixed a bug on older JVM with an exotic thread handling. Threads are
     really hard to debug.
  - new Features:
   * directMessage now available in the API and in Probe
   * IVYBUS System property is set according to the policy, and propagated to
     the children. It is useful if you want to fork.
  - new Doc
   * README rewritten
   * IvyDaemon as a TCP to Ivy relay is now documented
  - new Bug found on thread handling ( blackdown linux 1.1.8-v2 )
  - new Bug found on thread handling ( blackdown linux 1.2.2 ) SIGSEGV
