skstream 0.3.6 release
Skstream version 0.3.6 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Skstream is an iostream based C++ socket library. It is ideally suited for use as the underlying transport for Atlas-C++, and has been well tested and debugged. It was first discovered for WorldForge when it was used in UClient and has since been packaged up as its own library for use on other WorldForge projects. The code was originally written by Rafael Guterres Jeffman who is not involved with the project but we have extensively rewritten it, and added new features such as IPv6 support and unix domain sockets.
Major changes in this version:
- The classes have been refactored to make the implementation of datagram sockets much more sane.
- Binding datagram sockets to a local addresses and ports has been implemented.
- The portability of the IPv6 code has been improved so it now works correctly on win32.
