Hi all,
Once again, thanks to the efforts of many developers, testers, and
users, we are pleased to announce the major release of ACE 8.0.5 and TAO
4.0.5 which is available from the github release page at:
https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/releases/tag/ACE%2BTAO-8_0_5
The doxygen documentation for this release is also available. In
addition to the packages combined of sources and generate makefiles,
this release provides source-only packages for developers who use MPC to
generate their own makefiles.
We encourage you to download the new release, use it with your
applications, and let us know if you encounter any problems. Please use the:

using to report problems.
Overviews of our recent changes are available at:

The overall success rates for the test results gathered from all our
daily builds is 98% for the ACE tests and 98% for the TAO tests.
