Fedora EPEL Update Notification

2022-01-31 01:43:55.032840
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : liblxi
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 1.14
Release : 1.el8
URL :

Summary : Library with simple API for communication with LXI devices
Description :
The LXI library (liblxi) is an open source software library for GNU/Linux
systems which offers a simple API for communicating with LXI enabled
instruments. The API allows applications to easily discover instruments on
networks and communicate SCPI commands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
# liblxi v1.14 * Add `lxi_discover_if()` function Works exactly like the
`lxi_discover()` function but adds an additional parameter ifname that specifies
which network interface to broadcast on in case of using the `DISCOVER_VXI11`
discovery type. * Bypass linking with libtirpc because of bug When
linking with libtirpc some of the VXI11 connect calls starts failing for some
instruments. More investigation is needed to find out exactly why. It may be
some regression in the libtirpc Sun RPC implementation. The Sun RPC features
have recently been moved out of glibc into libtirpc. When we do not link
with libtirpc we fallback to using glibc's implementation of the RPC features
which seem to work better. We will accept this hack for now. * Remove
include directory * Reduce compiler optimization level * Introduce proper
Avahi timeout handling for mDNS * Increase number of allowed concurrent
sessions * Fix timeout for VXI11 connect The VXI11 API does not provide
any way to specify a communications timeout when connecting. To fix that we move
the VXI11 connect action into a separate thread that is killed if the timeout is
reached before the thread exits. The old behavior was that the connect
action would eventually time out for instruments on known subnets. However, if
you tried to connect to an instrument on an unknown subnet it would stall
forever. This new implementation will respect the timeout for all cases.
* Replace autotools with meson * Added timeout for RAW/TCP connections
