The RIC Message Router (RMR) is a thin library which allows applications to send messages to other applications. RMR provides insulation from the actual message transport system (e.g. Nanomsg or NNG), as well as providing endpoint selection based on message type. This page serves as an anchor point for RMR related pages.
Announcements
The following are announcements related to RMR during the past 30 days; newest announcements first.
2019 August 8:
- The RMR User's Guide has been added to this wiki set. See the link in the developer section below.
- RMR library version 1.1.0 is being released today. A transport status field is being added to the message buffer structure in order to provide wrapper code with access to the underlying transport provider errno value (errno is not directly available to all wrappers in all environments). This is a backwardly compatible change, but a change to the structure portion of the API, so a minor version bump was made.
2019 August 5:
- Please see the Supported Transport Mechanisms section below; support for Nanomsg is being dropped (NNG will be the only transport mechanism supported).
Current Version
The current version of RMR is 1.1.0 .44 which was pushed on August 6, 2019; it is recommended that Dockerfiles etc. be adjusted to pick this version up. The change affects the API by adding a single message type to the list of message type constants.August 8, 2019.
