git repository to make package compile with ocaml 4.0.3.
Changes include:
* Cryptography: adding basic support for public key cryptography
(provided by GnuTLS)
* Authentication: the module types for SASL and HTTP authentication
have been changed to a stateless style. Added an experimental
SCRAM module for HTTP.
* Nethttp_client: Supporting Digest authentication with
SHA-256 as hash algorithm. Supporting Basic authentication
with "charset" parameter.
* XDR/RPC: supporting that direct mappings can be disabled
when this is disadvantegous. For now, this is done for
internal RPC services, because direct mappings do not
copy values, which would be very surprising here.
* Netplex: adding support for so-called internal services.
This is a fast and type-safe way of exchanging messages
between netplex containers.
* ALL MODULES: Transitioning to the new "bytes" type for
mutable strings while using "string" only for immutable
strings. If compiled with OCaml-4.02 or newer, Ocamlnet
is built with the -safe-string compiler option.
* Netplex_sharedvar: implementing a new protocol that uses shared
memory for announcing variable updates. Also, almost all functions
can now be called from controller context.
* Netsys_global: new module, for keeping a dictionary of global
strings. The dictionary is connected with Netplex_sharedvar, so
that the strings can be updated across process boundaries if used
with Netplex.
* Netsys_polysocket: adding this module
* Netsys_polypipe: adding this module
* Netasn1_encoder: new module for encding ASN.1 messages
* Netnumber: on 64 bit platforms, the functions lt_uint4 and
lt_uint8 were wrong. Fixed now.
