- move idea patches to patches directory.
- remove unneeded patch-cipher_Makefile_am.
- remove deprecated NEED_VERSION.
you need an updated gas for this to work on i386.
discussed with reinhard@.
The IO::Socket::Multicast module subclasses IO::Socket::INET to enable
you to manipulate multicast groups. With this module (and an operating
system that supports multicasting), you will be able to receive incoming
multicast transmissions and generate your own outgoing multicast
packets.
IO::Interface adds object-methods to IO::Socket objects to allow
them to get and set operational characteristics of network interface
cards, such as IP addresses, net masks, and so forth. It is useful
for identifying runtime characteristics of cards, such as broadcast
addresses, and finding interfaces that satisfy certain criteria,
such as the ability to multicast.
Changes in this release:
Minimized and isolated constructs that do not adhere to C/C++
standards, and added flags NTL_CLEAN_INT and NTL_CLEAN_PTR
which force stricter compliance with these standards
Added functions IsWhiteSpace, CharToIntVal,
and IntValToChar to the tools module
Added methods allocated, position1 to generic vector classes
Added method allocated to the class vec_GF2
Added conversion routines from unsigned int/long to int, long, float,
and double
Added routines AddPrec, SubPrec, etc., to the RR
module, and declared the practice of directly assigning to the variable
RR::prec obsolete
Fixed a number of minor bugs.
I cannot test atm.
The label part of this patch is needed until I can figure completely what's
needed to support local labels longer than one digit on a.out arch's.
