To see the complete release notes (including defects addressed in the previous CFIXes, or to download this patch please see the links below.
======================================================================
Reported fixes (TIB_ss_6.8.0_CFIX_V3)

*   Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause clients to  core  if they  traversed the `server_names' list many times, especially  if using the PGM link driver.  This was introduced  in  6.8.0, and  can be recognized by `could not connect to &ltserver>' messages displaying corrupt names in place of &ltserver>.
    (CR 1-7WSA9F)

*   Changed RTserver to not allow clients with wildcards (i.e. `*' or  `...') in their `unique_subject' to connect.  Such clients  could cause serious misbehavior because e.g. any message meant for  a  client with a `unique_subject' `/...' would be sent to the entire cloud.
    (CR 1-7X6HUG)

*   Change Java/C# API's to throw an exception  if  a  client  at- tempts  to  set  `ss.unique_subject'  to  a value containing a  wildcard (i.e. `*' or `...').  Note that  Java  clients  being  recompiled  must  now catch this exception thrown from TipcOption.setValue if that method is being used.   C#  clients  and previously compiled Java clients are unaffected.
    (CR 1-7X6HTV)

*   Made a change to the Java API that should result in a significant performance improvement when sending messages with a very  large  number of fields.  This fixes a problem that was introduced in 6.7.0.
    (CR 1-7XCOC3)

*   Improved the topology change detection in CFIX 2  to  catch  a corner case that might happen in larger server clouds.
