The following are announcements related to RMR during the past 30 days; newest announcements first.
2020 March 11
Versions 3.4 and 3.5 were pushed this week. These contain two new functions intended to directly support the Route Manager:
- rmr_wh_state() -- returns the state of a wormhole
- rmr_wh_call() -- Sends a message using a wormhole and waits for the related response
Version 3.5.0 was patched with the missing health check message types, so 3.5.1 is the most recent.
...
Version 3.3.0 pushed. This version now packages a support binary in the run-time package. This support binary executes a simple health check by sending the indicated xAPP a health check request message and reporting success or failure based on the response. This is a minor version bump because external components (e.g. container management) may need to require 3.3.* and above to have this. There was no API change in this release.
2020 February 28
Version 3.2.6 pushed. This fixes a bug in the interface between RMR and the Route manager (RIC-232).
2020 February 26
Version 3.2.5 has three fixes:
...
Fix source address bug in SI95 receive/send funcitons.
...
Fix threading issues involving session disconnection in SI95

2020 February 24
Version 3.2.4 pushed to fix an MEID related bug causing a coredump (RIC-220).
2020 February 21
Version 3.2.3 pushed. This change ensures that RTS messages are attempted on a uni-directional channel first for performance reasons. MEID support in SI is now enabled.
2020 February 20
Version 3.2.2 was pushed into the repo. This change corrected a bug in the SI95 portion of the RMR code that affected multi-threaded user programmes which attempt to use more than one thread to receive messages.
2020 February 10:
The SI95 library support as a transport replacement for NNG has been in the build for a few weeks now. It should support all of the original capabilities provided by NNG. To make use, link with -lrmr_si and remove the library reference to nng. One caution: all applications communicating with RMR must use the same underlying transport (SI95 or NNG) as the two do NOT share the same protocol.
Current Version
Release B development (master branch) version tag 3.5.1 (10Mar 2020)
Release A frozen: 1.11.1 (Amber branch) 6 November 2019
