RE: [Quickfix-developers] Version 1.1.0 is available!

[Justin P. <jp...@fs...>]

I am having a problem installing it: I have libxml2 installed however I
get the following error message during a ./configure:

checking for xml2-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/xml2-config
checking for libxml - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run libxml test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means LIBXML was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved LIBXML since it was installed. In the latter
case, you
*** may want to edit the xml2-config script: /usr/local/bin/xml2-config
configure: error: libxml2 must be installed.

I checked config.log and I saw:
configure:2317: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2
conftest.c  -L/usr/local/lib -lxml2 -lz -lm 1>&5
configure:2309:24: xmlversion.h: No such file or directory

I found xmlversion.h in /usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml (default
install directory)

So I ( I know this is bad practice but nothing else worked!) : cp
/usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml/* /usr/local/include/libxml2 

Which got rid of the problem during the configure, however, when I did
the make I get:


[root@eats quickfix]# make
cd . && aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 20: macro `AM_PATH_XML2' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1


Any ideas??

And thanks for the upgrade!!

Subject: [Quickfix-developers] Version 1.1.0 is available!


Version 1.1.0, our first really major release since 1.0.0, is now
available from http://quickfix.thoughtworks.com.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback, and submitted patches. This
version has major new functionality, bug fixes, more compliance fixes,
and performance enhancements. The release notes are posted below, but
first a couple words for people planning on upgrading.

First of all, this release is most important for people who plan on
doing a lot of throughput and maintain many sessions. The new filestore
is much more efficient memory wise, and the addition of the
ThreadedSocketInitiator and ThreadedSocketAcceptor provide much better
performance and scalability.

When upgrading, please keep in mind the following:

- QuickFIX now uses libxml2.  The folks at libxml has requested all new
projects stop using libxml1 and we are complying with this. You will
need libxml2 installed to build newer versions.

- The signitures for toApp and toAdmin in the Application interface has
changed.  Your applications will need to reflect this change to compile.
The message class is no longer const, this allows you to add fields to a
message before it is sent out.  Ideal for adding additional fields to
messages like Logons and such.

- FileStore has been rewritten.  As a result, the file format has
changed. You should not mix QuickFIX logs from earlier versions with
1.1.0.

- PosDup message are now passed to the application callbacks.  You will
now need to have your application verify whether it wants to process a
particular message that may be a duplicate.

Other than that, here are the release notes.  Please provide everyone
with feedback about this version on this list.

RELEASE NOTES
________________

1.1.0
-----
Added support for messages with repeating groups.

Added ThreadedSocketInitiator and ThreadedSocketAcceptor. Each session
has it own thread for listening on a socket and one for processing
messages.

The signature for toApp and toAdmin have changed from ( const Message&,
const SessionID& ) to ( Message&, const SessionID& ). This allows
applications to add fields to messages before they are sent out.
Particularly useful for administrative messages that need fields that
arn't added by default.

Filestore is much more memory efficient. Only file offsets are stored in
memory and messages are retreived on in as needed basis. This keeps
memory use way down and also is a little faster for normal operations.

On Linux and Solaris upgraded from libxml to libxml2. It is recomended
by the libxml guys that all new applications use libxml2. configure will
verify that libxml is installed on a system and automatically add the
necessary command line parameters.

Possible duplicate messages are now passed to the fromAdmin and fromApp
application callbacks. Applications must now check for this field and
determine how possible duplicate messages should be handled.

Values.h correctly generated enumerations for fields of type INT.

Validation works with STRING enumerations, not just CHAR and INT.

Sockets are now properly closed if a connection fails. This fixes a leak
in socket resources that appeared after a large number of reconnect
attempts.

RefTagID, RefMsgType are no longer added to reject message in versions
of FIX 4.1 and earlier. BusinessMessageReject no longer used in FIX
versions 4.1 and earlier.

Improved DataDictionary generation. More enumerations are listed.
