MUSCLE

This version updates the code to compile cleanly under Android and clang++2.1, and adds an object counting mechanism (via the new CountedObject<T> template), making it is possible to see how many of each type of object your program is using at any given time. Some minor bugs were fixed, and the Python implementation of Message.PrintToStream() now prints sub-Messages recursively (as the C++ implementation always has).

This release adds a ThreadPool class, a mechanism that allows a Thread object's internal thread to check its current stack usage, better EINTR handling for send() and recv() calls, and a couple of other minor bugfixes and enhancements.

This releases enables IPv6 support by default. It can be disabled with -DMUSCLE_AVOID_IPV6. A new Qt example called qt_advanced_example was added. It demonstrates how to run a multi-threaded MUSCLE server inside a thread in a Qt GUI application, and how to make the GUI communicate with it. Major updates were made to the README.TXT file and the DOxygen documentation.

This minor release reduces the size of the UDP packets sent by PacketTunnelIOGateway to fit within the standard Ethernet MTU, fixes a few other minor bugs, and also gets rid of some compiler warnings. This version also allows you optionally specify the real-time Linux scheduler (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO) you want the program to run under (Linux only).

This version adds a new Qt-based build of muscled (qt_muscled), enhances the qt_example application, and improves MingW compiler compatibility. It also adds a handful of minor new API features, such as an IsSymLink() method in the FilePathInfo class, the ability to set the stack size of spawned Threads, and an InsertItemAtSortedPosition() method in the Queue class. Finally, this version modifies the DataNode class to store its index as a Queue of DataNodeRef objects rather than a Queue of pointers-to-String, to avoid any potential dangling-pointer issues.
