The open source community has released on Monday August 17th 2020 a new ACE 6.5.11 and TAO 2.5.11 release. This release is available from the usual download location at https://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/ under the heading “Latest Micro Release” or from the github release page.

The doxygen documentation for this release is also available. In addition to the packages combined of sources and generate makefiles, this release provides source-only packages for developers who use MPC to generate their own makefiles.

Changes to ACE (detailed changes)¶

• Latest_{Major,Minor,Micro,Beta} tags have been replaced with branches because tags are not intended to move where branches are
• Removed emulated operations in ACE_OS which are not used anymore
• Resolved some compile warnings when using C++11 or newer
• Integrated debian packaging changes
• Visual Studio 2015 solutions are not part of the release packaging anymore. When you require these you need to generate them locally using MPC
• Improve multicast join by interface name on Windows
• Fixed ACE_INT64_FORMAT_SPECIFIER (and similar) preprocessor macros on macOS (Apple-clang) with -std=c++11 or higher
• On Windows, use unnamed kernel objects (Events and Semaphores) for thread-scoped reader-write mutexes in ACE_OS::rwlock_init

Changes to TAO (detailed changes)¶

• Simplified some code generated by tao_idl

Remedy IT has finished the initial port of TAOX11 to Visual Studio 2019. With the recent updates the TAOX11 user community can now use the latest Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 compilers to compile TAOX11 and their application code.

Not all possible configurations have been tested but with this initial port finished it will be a relatively minor effort for Remedy IT or the user community to add other configurations. For more details about how TAOX11 can simplify the development of your CORBA based applications have a look at the TAOX11 website or contact info@remedy.nl.
