>hi guys,

>after a long, meandering journey through the ancient temples of
>Chichen Itza, the City of Angels and the Hills of Beverly, VNet
>v1.1beta2 is now available for your downloading pleasure at:
>
> http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/u/sfwhite/vnet/
>
>there's not much exciting new in this release; i just wanted to clean
>up the networking code and hopefully release it v1.1 before moving on
>and going into beta on 1.2.
>
>i've reworked the networking slightly on both the client and server
>side, so it's simpler and (hopefully) more robust.
>
>each client now has three threads: a reader thread (VUser on the
>server side and ClientThread on the client side), a writer thread
>(WriterThread) and a timer thread (TimerThread).
>
>so the client looks like this:
>
> Dispatcher -> TimerThread -> WriterThread -> network
> network -> ClientThread -> Dispatcher
>
>and the server looks like this:
>
> VSystem -> TimerThread -> WriterThread -> network
> network -> VUser
>
>TimerThread acts like a "gate", passing through important messages
>immediately to the WriterThread, and holding transient messages
>back.
>
>WriterThread blocks until it receives a message, sends that message,
>and loops. pretty simple. each is connected by a MessageQueue.
>in the case of WriterThread, it's a BlockingMessageQueue which will
>block until a new message is available.
>
>it's also up & running at waterloo; if you want to test it out that
>would be great.
