RubyForge: Quack Ruby Projects: File Release Notes and Changelog

Notes:
Release Name: 0.7.0

Notes:
posix_mq 0.7.0 - cleanups + portability fixes

POSIX message queues allow local processes to exchange data in the form
of messages.  This API is distinct from that provided by System V
message queues, but provides similar functionality.

* http://bogomips.org/ruby_posix_mq/
* ruby.posix.mq@librelist.com
* git://bogomips.org/ruby_posix_mq.git

Changes:

This release now works for systems other than Linux and FreeBSD
that support POSIX message queues.  This is usable for systems
without mq_timedsend() or mq_timedreceive() but with the
non-timed variants (timeouts wont work).

Thanks to Tadeusz Bochan for testing.

Ruby posix_mq is now dual-licensed under the GPLv2 (as well as the
preferred LGPLv3) for compatibility with existing GPLv2-only code.

    test for alarm() working properly to interrupt
    
    Some systems without mq_timedsend/mq_timedreceive need to
    use alarm() or similar (setitimer()) to interrupt timed-out
    mq_send/mq_receive calls, so we need to handle EINTR properly.

    fix MQ_IO_NIL_P and MQ_IO_CLOSE macros

    attempt to support systems w/o mq_timedsend/mq_timedreceive
    
    Some ancient systems don't support mq_timedsend and
    mq_timedreceive but somehow manage to support other POSIX
    mq_* functions.

    use StringValueCStr for paths
    
    RSTRING_PTR may contain '\0' bytes which makes it unsuitable
    for mq_unlink() and mq_open()
