[Caml-list] ocamlnet-3.0test1
Gerd Stolpmann
A first testing version of Ocamlnet 3 has been released:
Ocamlnet-3.0test1 (download:
http://download.camlcity.org/download/ocamlnet-3.0test1.tar.gz)
The idea of this release is to make this version available to a larger
audience for testing, and to allow everybody to check whether code using
this library still works. It is not yet ready for production
environments.
List of major changes:
* Port to Win32 (as outlined in the blog article
http://blog.camlcity.org/blog/ocamlnet3_win32.html)
* The new Rpc_proxy layer (as described in
http://blog.camlcity.org/blog/ocamlnet3_ha.html)
* Extensions of Netplex
* New implementation of the Shell library for starting
subprocesses
* Uniform debugging with Netlog.Debug
* Exception printers (Netexn)
* Introduction of pollsets (Netsys_pollset); removal of
Unix.select (i.e. more than 1024 file descriptors)
* The netcgi1 library has been dropped in favor of netcgi2
There are also a lot of minor changes. Some of the changes are
incompatible with code written for Ocamlnet 2.
Testers are especially encouraged to check whether Ocamlnet 3 still
works on all platforms, because a lot of new platform-specific code has
been added. I mainly tested with Linux and the MinGW port for Win32.
The library is not yet available via GODI. I'm working on this.
More blog postings will follow describing the highlights.

Would you know if there is a schedule to make Ocamlnet NNTP capable?

I don't, but perhaps this can be useful for you. I wrote it five years
ago and I think I've used it with some success, but no guarantees :).

Word of warning: I just noticed that it uses the Str-module, so it is
likely that it isn't thread safe!

Yeah!

It seems to be simple to use, I will try it as soon as possible.
If some Ocamlnet contributor is in here, how much work would it represent
to try to merge it in Ocamlnet?
