6 years of changes. 3.5.1 in particular has: it is time for another version of Ocamlnet. The new release 3.5 focuses on the system interface, and includes a long list of smaller improvements. The system interface, Netsys_posix, is extended by: - Support for POSIX clocks and POSIX timers (with nanosecond resolution) - Netsys_posix.spawn usses now the posix_spawn call if present on the OS - Adding support for pollable events (as e.g. provided by Linux via eventfd). For other OS an emulation is available. - Support for epoll on Linux Note that Netsys_posix covers now large parts of POSIX realtime. Other improvements: - The code generator for XDR has been improved. A new switch -direct for ocamlrpcgen can be used to generate direct mappings between OCaml values and binary representation (in many cases). Speedups up to 50% are possible for large XDR values. - The new module Uq_mt allows it to access an event-driven resource from several kernel threads (e.g. use an RPC client commonly from several threads). - The thread-safety of Netplex container functions has been improved. - Netmulticore condition variables can now be polled, for better integration into event-based programs. - Option greedy_accepts for Netplex to support servers that accept many connections per second. With this improvement, Netplex can now accept more than 5000 connections/s, and assign them to worker processes. Last but not least there is now a new tutorial for Equeue (event systems and engines). In particular, the section about combining Ocamlnet with Lwt might be interesting.
