Software v2.4.2 released

12 Aug 2015

I’m happy to announce that a new release of the IPbus software suite (i.e. uHAL library and the ControlHub) is now available!

This release fixes a uHAL bug that lead to a memory leak when calling the method uhal::ConnectionManager::clearAddressFileCache() to clear the cache of node trees from previously-parsed address tables; this bug will only affect code that calls the uhal::ConnectionManager::clearAddressFileCache() method.

Detailed release notes can be found here

You can update from v2.4.1 to this release like so:

sudo yum clean all          # may be necessary
sudo yum groupupdate uhal

N.B. This release is API and ABI compatible with the previous 2.4.X software releases (v2.4.0 and v2.4.1) - i.e. end-users do NOT have to recompile their C++ source code after updating from v2.4.0 or 2.4.1

Thanks, The IPbus software team
