Hi. As promised, the new beta, 1.6b3, has more interesting features. The most dramatic change is the removal of all code that assumes IP version 4. All name-to-address and vice versa translation is now done with getnameinfo() and getaddrinfo(). These functions are pretty much standardized so they should be available on most interesting platforms. As an added bonus we get free IPv6 support. Whee! :)
Now this means that the Access and Clients feature has had to go. I will try to think of something to replace it that is more or less transport protocol independent. (Or maybe some else can - hint. :) The 1.6b3 release now supports setting various socket options, like SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF and TCP_NODELAY. I have no idea what the effect of different settings is. If someone could experiment a bit I would be very grateful. Cheers Michiel
