[omniORB] omniEvents 2.6.0 (All new stable release)

[Alex Tingle]

I am proud to announce omniEvents 2.6.0, the culmination of nearly a
year's development and testing.

omniEvents 2.6.0 is an almost entirely new implementation of the OMG 
Event Service Specification v1.1 for omniORB. It builds upon the
foundation of omniEvents v2.4.

This new version contains a number of significant enhancements:

 o Each Proxy type is individually designed for optimal performance,
   and minimal use of system resources.

 o Implements a sub-set of the Fault-Tolerant CORBA specification.
   Servers may be configured to operate in pairs - if one fails then
   clients automatically switch over to the alternate.

 o Event channels can be federated, which allows multiple servers to
   share the load of delivering events to many clients across a wide
   area network.

 o Event channels can be configured to only pass on events of a
   particular CORBA type. Combined with channel federation, this
   allows Consumers to choose which type of events to receive.

 o The server runs as a daemon on Unix or a service on Windows. A
   SysV style init file can be automatically installed on Unix, to
   get you up and running with minimum fuss.

 o omniEvents is now much better documented. There are detailed
   installation instructions, full code documentation and even a
   tutorial on writing an Event Service client.

 o Implements OMG Event Service Specification v1.1 - with the correct
   disconnection semantics. This makes it much easier to write
   clients that can disconnect cleanly.

Full documentation is here:

WARNING: This release is NOT backwards compatible. If you are
upgrading from 2.4.1 or earlier, then remove your current
installation before installing the new version.
