CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore in User-space)
project offers a user-space implementation of process and process group checkpoint/restore. With the user-space tools crtools available in this release it is possible to checkpoint processes and restore them at a later time again (e.g. after a crash) or migrate the checkpointed process or process group to another system. CRIU aims to be as transparent as possible so that no instrumentation or re-compilation of the process to be checkpointed is necessary.
crtools dump -D /path/to/dump-directory -t <PID>
To restore a process, use the command:
crtools restore -D /path/to/dump-directory -t <PID>

win64
target was changed from SjLj
to SEH
. The win32
target still uses the SjLj
exception handling model. This causes all binaries for the win64
target which use exception handling to depend on libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
instead of libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
.
JDK
for this release. The inclusion of Java 8 and OpenJDK8 will allow developers to develop and test their applications for the next version of Java in parallel while everyone can continue using the stable Java 7 for daily use.
