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 0.6 +---------------- +* add support for external select() calls +* reset timeout if connection is active +* cmake build system and general cmake support +* prevent buffer overflow with overlong socket paths +* fix compilation with newer gcc / glibc versions + +You'll find the newest version of libt2n at: +http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libt2n + +------------------------------------------------------------------- +www.intra2net.com 2006-2015 Intra2net AG +-------------------------------------------------------------------
