I'm starting a new project, which will probably be ready for release in six months. It will be needing serial I/O & socket communication, so I'd like to use CommonC++.
I have some questions:
#1: Which version should I use? 1.6.4 or 1.9.x (on the assumption that in 6 months, a stable 2.0 will be out)?
#2: I need to do IPC on the same machine, and was wanting to use unix domain sockets, and it looks like you guys have them planned. I can use loopback TCP sockets for now, but will switching to domain sockets (if they become available in 2.0) give me a performance boost?
#3: If there is a performance boost and they're not planned to be available soon, would there be any problems with me having a go at it? (Probably not, but we all hate duplicated effort).
Thanks folks!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
#1: 1.9.x is quite stable and complete. 2.x will be available certanly before 6 months
#2: Yes Unix domain are faster (no netfilter or other stuff to test). Also is not difficult to implement... I don't know when planned... my best effort are cross platform and correction...
#3: best to post your code as patch...

Alright, well I have started working on the Unix domain sockets classes (to look like the TCP sockets), and will probably have a patch for that next week.
