SO cant wait until all features are done and I get my hands on it

Hi!

I'm currently not only working on the professional version of ANet. I did a lot of improvements and some bug fixes and because of this, I will also release a new version (1.1) of ANet on the same day the Pro will be released.
Ok, that was the good message. The bad one is, that I wasn't able to finish the professional until 07.01.2009. I'm working on it all my free time, but I'm still not totally happy with some features and I'm not the man who gives you unfinished things

Ok some details of the new version:
- Less latency due to internal optimisation
- MUCH less traffic ~50-70% (dependes on the function)
- no poll functions, they are handled internal
- some small bug fixes
- functions like enet_send_var use the pointer of the variable now and not the name => instead of enet_send_var(_str("test_var"),-1); now: enet_send_var(test_var,-1);
I think this is more logical!
- free for all those, who already bought ANet

Ok, you want to know when the new version and the proffessional version are ready? I don't know! My goal is to finish it in Januar.

Sorry for the delay!

great! cant wait to get my hands on that

Yup, sounds like great ideas. Each time I check this thread I like it more ond more.
Great!

When you are done with the pro version, will you update the manual and the tutorials/examples for the new code (no polls for example)?

Of course the old manual/tutorials/code will be updated.

I'm still working on the pro version. I can't tell you when it's finished, because this is really upredictable, but I do my best to finish it as fast as possible.

when pro is out, im willing to buy it from you
I'm planning my horror survival game, which conveniently uses Co-op as well (atleast, some chapters are planned).
Any target of when it's done? (not that i'll be needing it the next couple months yet anyway :P).

good job so far!

regards,

Some news:
- Today I finished the udp features
- Also the encryption is ready
- Nearly every function that sends data is optimized and produces less traffic now
- I've desided to remove the compression feature. There is no need any more for this. All tests I made came to the results, that the encryption algorithms create bigger data than their source data because the data is already so small
- I will start with http tomorrow.

TO-DO
+ optimizing Audiostreaming
+ solving a Bug in the Filemanager
+ 3 functions left to optimize
+ implenting http features

@Helghast: I'm trying to finish it until the end of Januar, but there are still some problems and I don't know how long it will take to fix them.

News:
- http feature is ready
- all functions are optimized now
- a bug from the file manager was removed
- I improved the manual a lot

TO-Do:
- finishing the audiostreaming feature
- final testing
- finishing the new manual

Important:
I have some troubles with the Speex codec. If there is anybody out there who has experience with Speex, PM me please!
You would help me finishing the plugin sooner.


If I can solve the Speex problem in time, I will be able to release version 1.1 and the professional version this weekend.
