Changes for version 0.20

  • No more strict dependency on exact versions match for the Storable module, encryption or compression modules. It used to be that Net::EasyTCP clients and servers insisted that if they use a module mentioned above, that both ends used the same version. This was required because it was observed that different versions of the same module could sometime produce incompatible data (which is a bad thing when you're trying to decrypt an encrypted message you just received). This problem is now fixed. During the negotiation phase, the clients and the servers will test all the modules and decide on which to use on compatability checks and the ability to deal with sample data, as opposed to version checks.
  • Callback suppplied to the start() method will be given the server object as it's only argument as opposed to no arguments.
  • Internal code cleanups
