Release Notes
The following new Platform release provides bug fixes and key improvements in the following areas:
Improve performance and scalability of rendezvous and router peers
Fix support for rendezvous peers during creation of new groups
Fix problems discovering listener advertisements in the Talk command
Fix problems running the platform on Window NT.systems
Full configuration of rendezvous and router peers via the Platform Configurator tool advanced feature
Add support for configuring a peer with multiple network interfaces.
Add debug mode configuration support
Provide user control about the start of the group application
Impact to current users: HIGH
This release is NOT COMPATIBLE with the 4/25 release due to a bug found in the handling of new XML tags in the discovery protocol. JXTA users WILL have to download the new version, otherwise they may not be able to connect to rendezvous.
Impact to developers: LOW
NO changes to the public core APIs
Just have to download the new platform jars
You can find the latest code in the current branch of the CVS Platform tree.
Impact to rendezvous sites: HIGH
Need to update their rendezvous peers to run the new releas
1. You cannot run two instances of the platform on the
same peer.
Need to change the TCP/IP transport port binding
to enable two instances of the platform running on the same node.
2. Cannot find peers via the 'peers' command
No peers
are running on your subnet. . You don't have a reachable rendezvous
(check the rendezvous peers configured for your platform
in the jxtaConfig. You need to have a reachable one. Try to ping the
IP address to see if you can reach then or access the HTTP server.
Add
a reachable rendezvous endpoint. If you are behind a firewall
or NAT you need to configure
the HTTP transport.
3. I have changed a property in jxtaConfig but I do not see the
change.
Need to remove PlatformPeerGroup and PlatformConfig
4. Configure HTTP but want to modify some configuration run peerconfig and restart JXTA.
5. Platform fails to boot
Remove all config files jxtaConfig, PlatformPeerGroup
PlatformConfig and the cm directory
