What has changed in skalibs
in 2.0.0.0
- The packaging system has completely changed.
- Programs should now link with -lskarnet followed by the appropriate
sysdeps links.
- No compatibility is ensured. Most APIs haven't changed, but no guarantee
is offered.
- The most important change is probably the disparition of struct tai
and struct taia, replaced with the tai_t and tain_t
types. Attosecond precision has been removed - processor speed is almost capped now,
and it looks like nanosecond precision will be enough for the foreseeable future.
- Buffer implementation has changed, and some interfaces too, mainly the
buffer_flush and bufalloc_flush return code.
- skaclient, skalibs' client-server communication suite, has been
entirely reimplemented: it's now using the new "unixmessage" set of primitives
for easier fd-passing.
