• New Internet Server ActiveX control and .NET class which enables developers to easily create multi-threaded, event-driven server applications. For more information, refer to the documentation for the InternetServer control.
• Updated for full compatibility with the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 platforms, supporting the new security model and TCP/IP stack. It is recommended that applications which target these platforms upgrade to the current version.
• Core networking code updated to use Windows Sockets 2.2 API and removed all previous dependencies on the Windows Sockets 1.1 and deprecated TCP/IP stack in unsupported versions of Windows. SocketWrench is only supported on Windows 2000 and later platforms.
• Redesigned the memory management code used to allocate buffers and internal socket data structures, improving performance and reducing overhead when multiple sessions are created in a multithreaded application.
• Improved the performance of the ReadStream and WriteStream methods under certain high-latency conditions when reading or writing large blocks of data.
• Corrected a problem with the Peek method in the SocketWrench ActiveX control and the InetPeek function in the library where it did not function similarly to the Read method and InetRead function, respectively. This could yield unexpected results because it ignored the blocking state of the socket. The Peek method and InetPeek function will now cause the current thread to block if a blocking socket is being used.
• The ReadEx and WriteEx methods in the SocketWrench ActiveX control has been deprecated and should no longer be used. The Read and Write methods have been extended to support additional arguments.
• Added support for AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption for secure SSL/TLS connections on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
• Updated the Developers Guide and Technical Reference and made improvements and corrections to the overall documentation.
