Recent Improvements

• HepTupleEnv is now available. It should be used to call the tuple manager's dumpAllData() method. Modules should not call dumpAllData() themselves.
• ErrLogger tracing and debugging added to DhpDistHist. The command line flags '-trace' and '-debugging' are used to dump output from the requestor and reader.
• The ability to control error messages for the reader is now available through DhpTupleEnv. The tcl parameter 'readerDebugging' can be set to 'none', 'trace' and 'debugging'.

Known Problems With This Release

• The Java browser was not built in the release. Instructions for building the browser yourself are available.
  Status: RESOLVED
• Shared memory is not functioning correctly on percheron and some other SunOS 5.6 machines. This problem has not yet been fully resolved.
  Status: UNRESOLVED
• DistTreeExamples fails to get an object the first time it is requested. This is believed to affect all the CORBA packages that use DistObjTree. The source of the problem is not yet known.
