[OPEN-ILS-DEV] OpenSRF 2.2.0-alpha released

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

OpenSRF 2.2.0-alpha is now available for download [1] and testing.
This is a relatively small enhancement and bugfix release, and
includes the following major changes:

1. Support for Apache 2.4, Debian Wheezy, and Fedora 18.

2. Elimination of CPU spikes caused by use of the MultiSession module.
 This is particularly relevant for Evergreen as TPac uses MultiSession
when fetching bib records for display in search results.

3. Support for graceful reload of Perl services via SIGHUP, which
allows the log level to be changed on the fly.  This can also be used
to politely clean up after memory leaks.

For a complete list of the changes, please consult the release notes
[2] and change log [3].

Links to the installation tarball, release notes, and installation
instructions can be found on theOpenSRF downloads page.

We are considering having 2.2.0 be the recommended OpenSRF version for
Evergreen 2.4.  Consequently, testers of the Evergreen 2.4 beta are
encouraged to test the OpenSRF alpha as well.  In addition, because of
the changes to MultiSession, we are particularly interested in test
results from a variety of platforms, particularly ones that use
virtualization.
