Release notes
- Version 10.4
- Fixed Socket.Write functions to properly return error instead of -1 in case of errors.
- Improved Socket functions to better return errors. Socket.AvailableBytes, Socket.Write or Socket.Read functions now return an error when socket is disconnected or otherwise broken.
- Version 10.3
- Added Socket.EnableKeepAlive function.
- Version 10.1
- Changed Socket.NewTCPSocket to mark sockets to accept IPv4 connections on IPv6 sockets.
- Version 9.2
- Added Socket.List function.
- Version 9.1
- Added backlog parameter for Socket.Listen.
- Version 9.0
- Added Socket.IsClosed and Socket.IsListening functions.
- Version 8.4
- Added PreferIPv6 option to Socket.NewTCPSocket to prefer either IPv4 or IPv6.
- Version 8.3
- Added Socket.GetTag and Socket.SetTag.
- Improved Socket handling to better get IPv4 and IPv6 handled in various socket functions.
- Updated code for Socket.Connect, ServerSocket.SendQuery, SSH.Connect and SendCommand to use new unified socket connection code, which uses IPv4 and IPv6, queries DNS if needed and tries several IPs if needed.
- Version 8.0
- Added Socket.LocalPort and Socket.LocalIP functions.
- Version 7.5
- Added Socket.AddMembership and Socket.DropMembership.
- Added Socket.GetMulticastInterface and Socket.SetMulticastInterface functions for UDP Sockets.
- Version 7.2
- Added ProtocolPreference parameter to SSH.Connect and Socket.Connect to request IPv4 or IPv6.
