Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

I'd like to announce the 4th beta of libsocket 0.7.4, a BSD-style
socket library for DJGPP.

This beta release fixes some more bugs in the Winsock 2 support. Many
other bugs have been fixed. Basically this release should be more reliable
than beta 3 is/was. The documentation is now in info format, which means
the long filename problems with the man pages have disappeared. The
documentation archive also contains the manual in HTML format. Some more
work has been done on the Unix domain socket support, but their code is
still in an alpha state.

I'm looking for willing people to help develop libsocket. Coding,
documentation or any other contributions are extremely welcome. If you are
interested, please join the libsocket mailing list.

If you use libsocket, you should download this beta. If you're not
convinced, here are some reasons:

- You have problems with version 0.7.3.
- You are interested in hacking/contributing to libsocket.
- You like the cutting-edge feel of beta programs.

The beta is available from the Simtelnet archive in the beta directory of
v2tk:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/beta/ls074b4b.zip

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/beta/ls074b4s.zip

Please join the mailing list, if you want to keep up with bug reports,
developments, development snapshots, etc. If you have any questions
relating to libsocket, please mail me and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks, bye,
