6.50 Released 6/6/2017

  • Added SimulatedMulticastDataIO, which simulates multicast
    communication via directed unicast. Useful for communicating
    multicast-style across a WiFi network, where real multicast
    communication doesn't work very well.
  • hexterm now supports a "wifi" keyword, which if specified along
    with the "udp=address:port" argument will replace the basic
  • Added some additional Inflate() and Deflate() methods
    to the ZLibCodec class so that it can now write its
    output into an existing ByteBuffer object rather than
    allocating a new one from the byte-buffer-pool, if desired.
  • hexterm now accepts a "verifyspam" argument; if specified,
    hexterm will check incoming packets to see if they match
    the dummy-data format sent out by hexterm's "spamspersecond"
    feature, and if they do not, it will log an error message.
  • Added a GetHardwareType() method to the
    NetworkInterfaceInfo class. This method returns a
    NETWORK_INTERFACE_HARDWARE_TYPE_* value indicating what
    kind of network interface it is (e.g. Ethernet, WiFi, etc)
  • Added a GetNetworkHardwareTypeString() static method to
    the NetworkInterfaceInfo class. This returns a human-readable
    string describing the given NETWORK_INTERFACE_HARDWARE_TYPE_*
  • Added some MacOS/X-specific utility methods to the String class:
    SetFromCFStringRef(), ToCFStringRef(), and a String constructor
    method that takes a (const CFStringRef &)
  • The ip_address and IPAddressAndPort classes now implement
    the PseudoFlattenable interface to allow for easier handling.
    UDPSocketDataIO functionality with SimulatedMulticastDataIO,
    for testing purposes.
  • Renamed the ip_address type to IPAddress, and made it a real
    class (and not a typedef'd alias for uint32) even when
    MUSCLE_AVOID_IPV6 is defined. ip_address is now a typedef'd
    alias to IPAddress, for backwards compatibility with old code.
  • The various convenience methods that could be called on an
    ip_address object (e.g. IsAddressIPv4(), IsAddressValid(),
    IsAddressMulticast(), etc) are now methods in IPAddress instead.
  • AtomicCounter now uses std::atomic internally,
    if MUSCLE_USE_CPLUSPLUS11 is defined.
  • PODSwapper and SwapContentsSwapper now check for the
    corner-case where the two objects passed in are actually
    the same object (and if so, they don't attempt a swap)
  • Added a GetSourceOfLastReadPacket() method to the DataIO interface.
  • UDPSocketDataIO::GetSourceOfLastReadPacket() is now virtual.
  • Moved the ip_address/IPAddress and IPAddressAndPort classes'
    declarations out of NetworkUtilityFunctions.h and into IPAddress.h
  • Moved the NetworkInterfaceInfo class (and its associated
    functions) out of NetworkUtilityFunctions.h and into
    NetworkInterfaceInfo.h
  • Fixed several places in the codebase that were inappropriately
    relying on CFStringGetCStringPtr() to return a non-NULL value,
    when in fact it is documented to return NULL sometimes.
  • hexterm now exits gracefully when stdin is closed.
