Ok, thanks. I am definitely going to work on this effort, and if it can get into M2.1, all the better. I'll check around for info on getting access to that code, but if anyone can point me in the general direction, I'd appreciate it. > The real benefit for that in terms of the c++ client is that it speaks > vanilla AMQP 0_9 so will communicate with any 0_9 spec compliant > broker, potentially a big plus for any customer as they could later > decide to change brokers based on support costs or other factors. That's an excellent point, and a benefit that will be greatly appreciated. > Hopefully, getting a Visual Studio build up and running won't be to > difficult. Just let us know if there is anything we can do to help. I don't think it'll be a huge effort. I have a tool that can generate VC 2003 and 2005 (and 2008) project files from a single source, so that'll jump-start things. I'll keep the list up to date on how things proceed. -Steve
