I'd like to announce the first beta of libsocket 0.7.4, a BSD-style socket library for DJGPP. This beta release has been a long time coming, and has a few improvements: - Auto-configuration with DHCP - Standard include files - select() bugs final fixed - More man pages - Some Linux ioctl() support Generally it seems more stable. See the home page for the full list. I'm beta testing this before the final release, because I need to make a couple of non-major changes and there are probably still some bugs ;) It shouldn't change much before the final release though. You should download this beta if: - You are interested in hacking/contributing to libsocket. - You have problems with version 0.7.3. - You like the cutting-edge feel of beta programs. The beta is available from the libsocket home page at: http://libsocket.home.ml.org/ If you have any questions relating to libsocket, please mail me and I'll be happy to help.
