Apache Portable Runtime Description

Create and maintain software libraries The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations.The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.APR and its companion libraries are implemented entirely in C and provide a common programming interface across a wide variety of operating system platforms without sacrificing performance.Currently supported platforms include: Mac OS X, UNIX variants, Windows, Netware, OS/2.To give a brief overview, the primary core subsystems of APR 1.3 include the following:· Atomic operations· Dynamic Shared Object loading· File I/O· Locks (mutexes, condition variables, etc)· Memory management (high performance allocators)· Memory-mapped files· Multicast Sockets· Network I/O· Shared memory· Thread and Process management· Various data structures (tables, hashes, priority queues, etc) What's New in This Release: · SECURITY: CVE-2009-2412 (cve.mitre.org): Fix overflow in pools and rmm, where size alignment was taking place. · Make sure that "make check" is used in the RPM spec file, consistent with apr-util. · Pass default environment to testflock, testoc and testpipe children, so that tests run when APR is compiled with Intel C Compiler.
