I have released Socker 1.4 which fixes some minor bugs. For one, there was a potential file descriptor leak. Another issue was that a TCP socket could not be created shortly after a restarting the affected application because the socket option SO_REUSEADDR was not enabled and setting it after bind() seemed to be ineffective at least on some systems. This option is now always automagically enabled for TCP sockets now. See the ChangeLog for further details and changes: http://www.ghostwhitecrab.com/socker/ChangeLog -- Christian
