    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!

      #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.
