ANNOUNCE: netclasses 0.95

[Andy Ruder]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of netclasses 0.95

CHANGES from 0.94
  Redesigned connection code
  Connections can be made in the background(without threads!) with a timeout

Netclasses is an easy to use socket interface written in Objective-C with
GNUstep.  While netclasses is not specifically designed for any one protocol,
this distribution comes with everything needed for TCP/IP.  Adding new
protocols should not be difficult with the strictly protocol-based
object-oreitned design.  Netclasses seamlessly integrates into NSRunLoop which
means it requires very little code outside of the actual connection object.  In
other words, if you interface at all with NSRunLoop, netclasses will require no
added code besides the setting up of ports.  Netclasses supports multiple ports
that can each spawn a different connection object.  The TCP/IP system has
support forinitiating a connection.  Also, everything is event-based so speed
is very good.

This is not a real library, it is merely a few source files you can add to your
project.  

I do have a fully featured GNUstep mud(its playable) in the works that uses
these classes, but for now the release contains:

IRCBot: the name speaks for itself
EchoServ: a simple tool using netclasses
Documentation: gsdoc'd documentation describing how to use netclasses
Source: the four source files you can add to your project

Anyways, all of this is available from:
