2.13.0)(bug 9550)</h3>

As of OpenPegasus 2.13.0, two new runtime variables have been added:

   * traceFileSizeKBytes -  Defines the size of the

tracefile in kilobytes. The trace file will be rolled once its size

exceeds the specified size.

   * numberOfTraceFiles - Specifies the number of the tracefiles

for rolling where the default is 3.

<h3>Using GCC 4.7 Compiler on Linux OS (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)

</h3>

As of 2.13.0, OpenPegasus has been updated to replace the custom atomic

operations with GCC built-in atomic operations if GCC version 4.7 or

greater is used as the compiler.  It is recommended that if possible

this version of the GCC compiler be used since the change provides

significant performance improvements.

<h3>OpenPegasus and OpenSLP V 2.0 (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

As of 2.13.0, OpenPegasus slp fully supports IPV6  and has been

tested with OpenSLP 2.0 (Recently released by <a href="http://openslp.org">OpenSlp.org</a>)

While testing OpenPegasus with OpenSLP 2.0 the OpenPegasus team found two

issues with this version of OpenSLP.  The patches documented below

allow this version of OpenSLP to work with OpenPegasus

1) SLPReg used TCP connection previously, but it now uses UDP. Therefore,

a BUFFER_OVERFLOW exception occurs.  This is because UDP cannot

handle attribute size greater than network MTU size. In such cases,

according to the specification, OpenSLP should automatically switch to

TCP.  Since this has not been implemented in OpenSlp 2.0, the

workaround used by OpenPegasus to force use of TCP may be found at <a title="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/" href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/</a>.

2) On Windows, slpd service fails to start when IPV6 is enabled and throws

the error message "Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly". More

details and the fix for this issue are in the bug <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/</a>.

<h3>Interop namespace name (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

Effective with the release of OpenPegasus  2.13 the "interop"

namespace support for existing or

older repositories which used

"root/PG_InterOp" has been added via a new option in the "reupgrade"

utility. Users with existing repositories may use this option to migrate

the repository from "root/PG_InterOp" to

"interop" namespace.  See <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9414" title="RESOLVED FIXED - enhance repupgrade to support "interop" namespace">bug

9414</a> (PEP304) for

details.

For this to work, the build  option "PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE" has

to be

set to "interop". Only then will the "-i" option in repupgrade be enabled.

Once the repository is upgraded with "-i" , the namespace

"root/PG_InterOp"

will cease to exsist. Clients using "root/PG_InterOp" must now use

"interop".

Prior to version 2.12 OpenPegasus used an OpenPegasus internal variable to

define "root/PG_InterOp" as the name for the OpenPegasus namespace with no

defined way to change this variable.  Note that an unsupported method

involving editing one file and rebuilding OpenPegasus was defined as a

workaround in the <a href="file:///home/kschopmeyer/dev/pgogbug9611releasenotes/pegasus/%20https://wiki.opengroup.org/pegasus-wiki/doku.php?id=faq:openpegasus_build_and_installing">OpenPegasus
