The OpenSAF foundation is pleased to announce the completion of OpenSAF 4.0 B3.

The key features of this release are:

• Add support for filter in NTF (#537)
  • Main contributor: Arne Eriksson

• Enhancement to IMMND restart invisible to IMMA (#496)
  • Main contributor: Anders Björnerstedt

• MQSv OI: Integrate MQSv service with IMM (#622)
  • Main contributor: Chadrasekhar Yadav

• imm.xml merge & validation tool (#651):
  • These tools are not yet packaged or installed. See example use below.
  • Main contributor: Peter Strand

• AMF IMM integration, Drop 1 (#161):
  • Main contributors: Hans Feldt, Nagendra Kumar & Ashwini Kumar

See http://devel.opensaf.org/wiki/AMF_OI for more information of what can be expected to work (and not).

The amf_demo (samples/avsv) has been updated and the included AppConfig?.xml is now in imm.xml format. This file needs to be merged with the middleware configuration. Be aware that osaf/services/saf/immsv/config/imm.xml is a source file and is processed before it is packaged and cannot be used for merging. Instead use the packaged imm.xml (from the rpm) or the installed imm.xml (from /etc/opensaf) as merge input.

Example:
$ tools/devel/immtools/immxml-merge /etc/opensaf/imm.xml \
	samples/avsv/AppConfig.xml > imm.tmp
$ tools/devel/immtools/immxml-validate imm.tmp
$ sudo cp imm.tmp /etc/opensaf/imm.xml

Please note: For beta3 NCSSystemBOM.xml is still required to configure the available nodes in the cluster. No middleware configuration is done with NCSSystemBOM.xml! A AppConfig?.xml placed in /etc/opensaf will not be parsed or used by AMF.
