<h1> What has changed in skalibs </h1>
<h2> in 2.1.0.0 </h2>
<ul>
<li> unixmessage_drop added, part of unixmessage/skaclient hardening against fd leakage </li>
<li> unixmessage_sender_flush return code aligned with the convention in the rest of skalibs </li>
<li> unixmessage_sender_flush now handles short writes </li>
<li> skaclient_start(_async) prototype changed: now takes an option argument </li>
</ul>
<h2> in 2.0.0.0 </h2>
<ul>
<li> The packaging system has completely changed. </li>
<li> Programs should now link with <tt>-lskarnet</tt> followed by the appropriate
sysdeps links. </li>
<li> No compatibility is ensured. Most APIs haven't changed, but no guarantee
is offered. </li>
<li> The most important change is probably the disparition of <tt>struct tai</tt>
and <tt>struct taia</tt>, replaced with the <tt>tai_t</tt> and <tt>tain_t</tt>
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. </li>
<li> Buffer implementation has changed, and some interfaces too, mainly the
buffer_flush and bufalloc_flush return code. </li>
<li> skaclient, skalibs' client-server communication suite, has been
entirely reimplemented: it's now using the new "unixmessage" set of primitives
for easier fd-passing. </li>
</ul>
