[Nodebrain-announce] NodeBrain 0.5.4 Released

[Trettevik, Ed A <ed....@bo...>]

Release 0.5.4:
Patch release 0.5.4 is available for download. This release fixes a =
significant defect in the handling of server sockets relative to long =
running spawned child processes. If you are running NodeBrain as an =
agent (Unix daemon or Windows service), this update is recommended.=20
A couple less important defects have been fixed in the handling of =
scheduled deletion of caching table rows, conditions responding to =
caching table row expiration, and time conditions.=20
Code has been included for a plugin module C API that is unfinished and =
undocumented, but sufficient to illustrate the future direction. (Our =
plugin module API will be the theme of release 0.6.)=20
Documentation has been included for using NodeBrain over an SSH tunnel =
(http://www.nodebrain.org/tipSshTunnel.html).
A Personal Note:
I must confess that I'm having difficulty finding time away from my =
regular job and family to keep NodeBrain moving forward.  To address =
this problem, I've scheduled vacation from my regular job for the next =
two weeks.  The first week will be spent with my family, during which I =
may have difficulty responding to email.  The second week will be spent =
roughing out a 0.6 release.  If you have feature requests, please enter =
them so they can be considered.  From what I've heard from some of you, =
perhaps the greatest need at this point is a set of working rules and =
agent configurations to help people get started.  I'll consider that a =
requirement of 0.6 in addition to the C API for plugins that will =
clearly require examples as well.
