Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that last February I accepted an offer to work with Google Australia -- between then and now I've been concerned with getting my paper work in order and tying up loose ends in my consulting work before this fateful day. In a few hours, I will be officially starting with Google Australia.
That said though I will still keep working on The C++ Network Library and I do hope others will be encouraged to contribute to the library as we're nearing the 1.0 milestone we're trying to hit for eventual review submission (and hopefully inclusion) to the Boost C++ Library. At this time I would like to thank everyone who has contributed in ways small and large to the project and bringing it up to where it is at now. In the next few days I should be releasing 0.9.0 which should be the snapshot version for inclusion into the Boost C++ Library -- I don't have any illusions that that version will make it into Boost without any major modifications, but I wanted to get that ball rolling for me to better see where the library should go. Hopefully by the time the review comes (which has yet to be scheduled, I still need to contact a review manager who will take that task on) 1.0 would be suitable for a larger production deployment base. I would just like to reiterate how I'm still committed to developing and supporting the cpp-netlib effort -- and I encourage everyone who has ideas as to what would be good to have and what would be good to do with the library to sound off and make yourselves heard. I cannot tell you enough how much hearing people are using the library makes me feel -- and how it makes other contributors feel. Even if I'm not making money off of cpp-netlib at the moment, the idea that people like it and are thinking of using it in their projects (and those that are already using it in their projects) is currency enough for me. Thanks again everyone and I do look forward to a more fruitful cpp-netlib effort along with this new chapter of my life.
