While we wait...

Hello Andy, Blair, folks,

        One of the big wondering I have about D6 is how will be the
"resources" (aka Views) stored/defined, using a binary object (like
in D5)? or a literal specification (ala VW/VAST)?

        Thank you.

ps: This post should be here or in comp.lang.smalltalk.dolphin?


Best regards

It's certainly of the things we would ike to have done but it seems to
get pushed to the bottom of the list. So, at the moment, D6 still uses
STB for the view resources.

This seems like a good enough place for the question.

Andy, What about sockets?

I have read that sockets connection would be completely rewritten, will it
be like that?
Will you use shynchronous sockets?

Yes, there is a new "Dolphin Sockets" (Socket2) package that uses the
synchronous calls. The interface is slightly different (easier) from
the old "Socket Connection" (Socket) package so the latter is retained
for compatibility.

We've used this with adapted versions of the Swazoo web server and
Steve Warings's HTTPClient and it works very well.

Name clashing between Socket and Socket2?
