changelog

Gambas is a graphical development environment based on a Basic interpreter, like Visual Basic. It us

0.4.3 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.94)

* Fixed a "segmentation fault", when changing user name or password in both HttpClient and FtpClient

0.4.2 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.93b)

* FtpClient external interface stabilized.

* Finished 'Curl' class code, and code sharing between 'HttpClient' and 'FtpClient'.

0.4.1 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.93b)

* Added a new class 'Curl', that is the base for the rest of classes in this component

* Now HttpClient and FtpClient inherits from 'Curl', so they share a lot of code

0.4.0 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.93b)

*  HttpClient : some code improvements so now it is faster,smaller and wastes less memory.

*  Added 'FtpClient' class.  

0.3.1 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.93)

 * Added two new properties to Socket class. They are read/write, the first is called 'Port'. if
   value is zero (Net.Local), connection will try to stablish a Local socket, else a TCP connection
   will be stablished. The second, 'HostOrPath' can be a Host or a local path.
 
 * Socket constructor has now no parameters.
 
 * Conect method has now two optional parameters. The first can override 'HostOrPath' property, and the
 second overrides 'Port' property

0.3.0 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.93)

* Added code to let the IDE show icons for all net classes.
* Removed lots of code to make the component lighter and faster. 

0.2.3 (net - STABLE / curl - ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.90)

* Fixed a bug in UdpClient : segmentation fault when reading or writing data
* Fixed a bug in UDPServerClient example : trying to use CLOSE when UdpClient is not active
* <sys/types.h> defined before <sys/socket.h> to allow compile on FreeBSD  

0.2.2 (ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.81)

* 'NetCode' and 'AdvancedCode' classes changed to 'Net'
* Proxy properties from 'HttpClient' has been added into a new class called 'Proxy'

* This version should compile now using libcurl 7.10.3, 7.10.4, 7.10.5, 7.10.6, 7.10.7, 7.10.8 and 7.11.0
* <netinet/in.h> now is after <sys/types.h> in all files to allow compile it on FreeBSD

0.2.1 (ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.81)

* Examples Updated
* New HttpClient interface defined
* 'AdvancedCode' class provides constants for 'Net.Advanced' component

0.2.0 (ALPHA - compiles on Gambas 0.80)

* Examples updated
* Modifications in configuration scripts to detect libcurl
* 'NetCode' provide the constants needed to work with all network classes
* 'Net advanced' includes not : CHttpClient, and will include other classes using libcurl
* 'Net' includes now : Socket, SerialPort,ServerSocket,UdpSocket,DnsClient and NetCode,
  that is, basic networking stuff
* 'Net' component splitted it two components: 'Net' and 'Advanced net'
