[usocket-devel] Rebranching 0.4.x branch && road to 0.4.x release
Over the last month(s), many commits have happened on trunk/ which should also be in 0.4.x. On inspection, out of 30 or 40 commits, only 4 should *not* be on 0.4.x. (The UDP socket changes.) With r405, basically everything I want to have in 0.4.x is now on trunk/. (Except - ofcourse - the SCL changes Douglas is looking into, but that can come later too.) For efficiency, I have decided to rebranch the 0.4.x branch and afterwards undoing the UDP socket changes on that branch. When that's done - at the end of this week - all that needs to happen for 0.4.x is testing. So, anybody who's interested in a release with WAIT-FOR-INPUT and :local-host binding for SOCKET-CONNECT, please provide your feedback starting Monday August 4th: we need to asses the quality of the code currently up for release on the branch! Thanks for your patience, it's been a big task to get this release done! And of course: thanks to everybody who invested time into providing feedback as well as patches! Bye, Erik.
Hi, Erik

Nice job, and it's my long wait for the 0.4.x release. I agree to remove UDP-related code from 0.4 branch, and once you start the release (and the API get stable), I can still change my UDP-patch, i.e. the usocket-udp package depends on 0.4.x release.

I'll look your subversion change. Thanks, Chun Tian (binghe)

Thank ;-)

This morning, I reviewed the exported symbols and determined that there are no udp exported symbols other than DATAGRAM-SOCKET. This means that I'm allowed to do everything (by my versioning rules) but change the name and type of that symbol. I guess that this is enough not to ververse the udp stuff on the branch, however, development of the udp stuff will only be done on trunk, not on the branch. Don't worry about datagram sockets, though: I'll be adding the functionality in usocket in due time. Don't forget WAIT-FOR-INPUT has been in development for over a year too. (Yes, I know you provided patches for some udp sockets operations, however, the external usocket API needs to be researched some more).

It's there already! Bye, Erik.
