e-POSIX 2.3 beta released
Berend de Boer has released version 2.3 beta of eposix, the complete Eiffel to standard C and POSIX binding. In an announcement to the eposix mailing list he wrote:
Not too many changes, no significant new functionality. Mainly a few bug fixes and support to compile the eposix lib for ISE Eiffel on Windows with Microsoft Visual C: multi-threading option is now turned on by default.
New in 2.3 beta - 2006-01-17
Not too many changes, no significant new functionality. Mainly a few bug fixes and support to compile the eposix lib for ISE Eiffel on Windows with Microsoft Visual C: multi-threading option is now turned on by default.
New in 2.3 beta - 2006-01-17
- EPX_CURRENT_PROCESS: new feature effective_user_name
- EPX_HTTP_10_CLIENT: removed precondition post_data_content_type_recognized as this is not necessarily true
- EPX_SMTP_CLIENT: When reading capabilities should have used force_last
- WINDOWS_CURRENT_PROCESS: user_name: returns name of user associated with current thread.
- WINDOWS_BASE: raise_posix_error is redefined to get the error message from the Windows API GetErrorMessage() instead of the posix strmessage. The posix strerror() doesn't return anything for Windows specific error numbers. This is a bit annoying if you combine classes that don't descend from WINDOWS_BASE with ones that do. In that case make sure to undefine raise_posix_error on the classes that do not inherit from WINDOWS_BASE
- EPX_DSML_V1_WRITER: new class to write LDIF file in XML format, i.e. DSML v1
- EPX_LDIF_PARSER class to parse LDIF files
- STDC_ERRNO: clear_all: now clears both value and first_value (first_value wasn't shared among all STDC_ERRNO objects)
- ABSTRACT_STRING_HELPER: incorrect postcondition in case the STRING contained a NULL character
- EPX_XML_WRITER: (1) add_comment: didn't quote meta data properly, (2) add_attribute, add_ns_attribute, add_a_name_space: greatly increased speed when serializing XML and you don't want to change the value of the attribute at a later stage
- EPX_MIME_PARSER: didn't correctly validate dates
- POSIX_FILE_DESCRIPTOR is_closed_on_execute: new feature

I see I'm down as one of the contributors to the site.
Since I haven't contributed anything yet, I thought, rather than make a liar out of Roger, I'd say:
What do you mean, no new significant functionality Berend?!!?
What about the ftp and http URI resolvers for XML processing?
Oh, I see - you mean no new significant functionality from Berend de Boer!
:-)
