Hi, Cool! Nice updates :) On the version # question a few days back, I agree this is 4.x update. For a 5.x release, in addition to what you listed below, I'd add: -- integrate SSL support directly (comm driver, api's) -- integrate the comm drivers -- figure out some better build environment for windows -- ensure 64bit works everywhere -- finally re-factor the Tcl management -- make aolserver really just a loaded Tcl module The last two would be disruptive but interesting or maybe just dumb on closer inspection. Basically, aolserver could use the ns_itcl stuff along with Tcl package to better leverage existing extensions. As a module overall, the basic startup and event loop stuff could be exposed as commands instead of special case startup code in a custom binary. I think that could get aolserver/tcl closer to command-line PHP type flexibility which enables, e.g., "crush" in drupal. May be too much effort but something to explore.
Maybe I could point again at the ipv6 patch I wrote in 2008. Back there was even not even a response on this list, but maybe today, now the world has run out of ipv4 addresses, the interrest in serving ipv6 is a bit higher.
