(This file was created from the original CHANGELOG's header.)

Latest Release Version: 0.2.3

REMAINING BUGS:
  - Setting the size of the underlying buffer is not yet working.

Supported and Tested plataforms:
  Windows 95/98/2000
  Linux
  BeOS

Compilers used for testing:
  Borland C++Buider 3, 4 & 5. Borland C++ Free Compiler.
  Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET
  GCC 2.91 & 2.95 (Linux)
  GCC BeOS

Platform Remarks:
-BeOS
  * Timeout control is unavaiable under BeOS due to its implementation of
  sockets. BeOS support select() only when reading and not for writing or
  exceptions. This will change when BONE is officially released.
  * SOCK_RAW is not supported under BeOS.
-Linux
  * RAW Sockets can only be used under Linux when SUID is ROOT.

Future Work:
  - A multi-threaded TCP server class.

Note on Testing:
  - In order to run 'make check' you must have CppUnit 1.6.1 or later installed.
