Revision history for Perl extension NetServer::Generic.

1.02 Wed Jun 27

        bugfix: various suggestions by Lincoln Stein. 
        - Switch from FIFO to pipe for controlling preforked children
          (for Win32 compatability)
        - Revised wait() behaviour for Solaris
        - First attempt at fixing "thundering herd" problems

1.01 Wed May 17 17:07:00 2000

• bugfix: doesn't require a threaded perl now. Also tested on Solaris.

1.00 Fri May 11 10:35:00 2000

• added alpha-ish preforked server mode
• added alpha-ish multithreaded mode (UNSTABLE)
• modified IP address filtering to cope with regexps
• option to log new connection peer addresses via STDERR
• extra test scripts
• updated documentation
  • NetServer::Generic has now been running a mission-critical high-demand e-commerce server for the past couple of years, and has been in use elsewhere; the core functionality and API is stable. Two years is a bit long for beta test, so I'm declaring this release to be version 1.0.
