Dear all,

the 14th prerelease version of the sctp library is now available at
http://www.sctp.de/download/index.html

This version supports now segementation of large user messages, fixes
a lot of bugs and compiles and runs on Solaris.

Additionally there are two new interfaces to the sctp library:

- A sctp deamon and an sctpdlib. The deamon runs the sctp protocol engine
and user applications us the sctpdlib. Using a UDP based interprocess
communication the user programs do not run as root and use a different event
loop (currently the gtk loop is supported). It is even possible that client
and server run on the same host talking SCTP using one sctpd.
Examples are provided in the sctplib/sctpd_programs directory.

- A socket like API. sctp still runs in the same process (at least
conceptually) but
in a separate thread. The usercode use one or more other threads. The
implementation
is based on http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-
sctpsocket-01.txt
and currently supports the basic funtionality.
C++ based examples are provided in the sctplib/socket_programs. C based
examples
will be provided in the next prerelease version.

These two interfaces are new and my be not relevant for all of the
sctplib users.
Therefore it was decided that they are not compiled by default. If you want to
try the sctp deamon stuff use --enable-sctpd as an argument to ./
configure and if
you want to play around with the socket api use --enable-socketapi as an
argument
for ./configure. These two interfaces compile (and work) under Linux,
FreeBSD and
MacOS X. Any Solaris feedback is welcome.

If you find any bugs in the sctplib code, please let us know.

Hally SCTPing
