Pre-release of new libspf2

Sep 2, 2004, 1:58 AM

Post #1 of 3 (1495 views)

A new libspf2 version 1.2.0pre1 is now in subversion under tags/shevek.
This version represents a major API rewrite and bugfix. A public snapshot
is at
http://www.libspf2.org/spf/libspf2-1.2.0pre1.tar.gz.

The API is now considerably simpler, and involves servers, requests and
responses. Servers (and hence resolvers) will be threadsafe in the public
release. The only per-thread data is the request (and hence the response).
There will be no need to play with resolvers any more.

Allocation is simpler. Everything is allocated and returned as a pointer.
Free it using SPF_<type>_free(x). All accessors are provided as
out-of-line functions. This means that the library may be upgraded and the
layout of the internal structs may be changed without recompiling client
applications.

Forgive me for not understanding, but surely this warrants a major
revision increase to libspf3? *chuckles* I don't think I even need to
say it. Good luck with that.

Cheers,

I already started wondering where you have been hiding :)

P.s.: I still don't understand the graph on infinitepenguins, the labels
on the y-axis seem odd...
