I had another request for the socketcc port recently. It is interesting how many people are interested in it. But definetely not surprising! :) I was quite right with my suspicion that there is a big need for having such a library.
But this time is a bit special because the guy who requested it is looking for re-implementing the ipV6 functionality.
One can find his post in one of the blog entries about socketcc.
He seemed to be quite enthusiastic to work on this as soon as he has time. I already sent him the sources, now I am curious what will come out of this. I was surprised when i just found out what additional features we have already put inside socketcc that were not inside the original library. I even now found some forgotten code where I played with some "Ping" class which i wanted to add to the library. its even working in some way, but i stopped development when i didnt need the functionality anymore.
I would very much like to see the library all (and the effort we put in this) to be strong with (nearly?) all the initial features in it again to be available to the public.
A OO cross-platform approach to sockets for C++! If this gets sturdy, this will be powerful indeed....
Today I discovered that there is an unstable debian package for monodevelop 2.0 Beta 1 linked from the monodevelop site. was it my whining at the foodformonkeys.blogspot.com site where i released my frustration about no-debian-package being present? i will never know :) but i am certainly very happy we now have a .deb package! I immediatly tried to install it.
Unfortunately my system at work does not fullfill all the required needs, and because this is my development pc I will not install a unstable libc library just for testing out monodevelop.
so i will need to test it at home on the weekend. hopefully i find time for it....
thassit for now folks,
happy coding!
