Now that we're into the production quality releases, the first of the 
TnFOX snapshots of the current SVN tree has been made - these shall 
continue as and when the source tree is known to be compiling and 
working reasonably well on all platforms. As nedprod.com is still 
down, you can go straight to the sourceforge page at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tnfox/. Changes include:

* Bug fixes, including the embarrassing breakage of shared memory 
functionality on Linux in v0.85.

* More optimisations such as sparing use of force inlining, in fact 
as many as v0.86 is going to get for the foreseeable future. Tn is 
now running very, very fast on TnFOX indeed and scaling itself across 
multiple processors very nicely indeed.

* FXAtomicInt and FXMutex can now be inlined into all FXThread.h 
including files. This can both help and hinder.

* Added FXProcess::getNsCount() which provides a portable nanosecond 
accurate counter for high resolution timing.

* Improved performance on FreeBSD substantially, including replacing 
its default memory allocator with TnFOX's.

* FXFont now always requests font smoothed and cleartyped fonts on 
Windows.

* FXFSMonitor now can disable itself if it detects a broken FAM 
implementation such as like that on Fedora Core 3.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Niall
