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/ls074b4d.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, Richard Dawe http://www.bigfoot.com/~richdawe/ 6th June 2000
