But they weren't easy to use and did not allow +passing complex C++ objects like vectors, maps and your own classes. + +Communication between client and server is currently done using +Unix domain sockets (named pipes) or TCP. But the library is designed +transport-independent, so it can be expanded to +shared memory or other mechanisms. + +Serializing all the complex objects is done with Boost serialization. +The complete manual is generated by doxygen in the doc directory. + +Changes from 0.4 +---------------- +* New project home +* Fixed calls to virtual functions in constructors/destructors +* Improvements for data transfers larger than 2 GB +* Fixed uninitialized variables causing random transfer problems + +You'll find the newest version of libt2n at: +http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libt2n + +------------------------------------------------------------------- +www.intra2net.com 2006-2009 Intra2net AG +-------------------------------------------------------------------
