New Features as of Version 0.81 Inside the PTOOLS X-Midas distribution, added some routines for serializing Vals/Tabs to type 1000 files. This was a specific request from a main user. Also added the buildopt macro as its easier to build the tree. Fixed a serialization error when serializing M2k Headers (specifically, links would error out in certain DataObjects). If you never saw this error, this fix should not affect you. The C++ code for MidasTalker and MidasServer now understands host names (up till now, it only understood the "dot notation" when specififying hosts, e.g. 127.0.0.1---The Python MidasTalker and MidasServer never had this problem). Had to write a re-entrant (thread-safe) version of gethostbyname_r and put it into midassocket.h Updated code to use the "None" instead of Val() (to specify and empty Val) for better readability Many problems dealing with building on Tru64 fixed: Problems compiling examples on Linux because WriteTabToFile and ReadTabFromFile were not using inline: fixed. Fixed several bugs in building the Tru64 (DECUnix) C++ area, including changing the template instantiation model (for the examples) to use -tlocal. The default instantiation model is problematic. Added new OpenContainers 1.5.1. Contains minor bug fixes, mostly so Tru64 (DECUnix) will work. Separated MidasSocket and MidasTalker into .h and .cc file because on some platforms (Tru64 with X-Midas in particular), the use of #include has names collide and cause compilation errors. Mostly the gethostbyname_r code has been seperated out into the .cc files. Fixed makefiles to reflect midastalker.h,cc/midassocket.h,cc split
