I quietly released a new version of <a href="/projects/plib/">PLib</a>
a few days ago. PLib 0.3.0 has a whole bunch of new goodies; here's
a quick list:
From <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert</a>, resource
loader cleanups, and a new modular resource saver. From
<a href="http://www.richlowe.net/">Richard Lowe</a>, a
<a href="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</a> wrapper, and new warning and
debugging calls. From me: PList and PHash cleanups, added the
PVector type (think Vector in Java), PList and PHash API cleanups and
bugfixes, TCP/IP and UNIX domain socket utility functions, TCP/IP
and UNIX domain socket client and server (with simple
<a href="http://www.openssl.org/">SSL</a> support), a short example
program (a chat client and server with option file handling, and SSL
support), C++ friendlyness, and autoconf/automake magic. Note that
PCRE, OpenSSL, and even libdl are optional. If you don't have OpenSSL
installed, for example, the PLib will still compile and work just
fine; albiet without SSL capabilities. Thanks to Tom and Richard
for all the help on PLib.
<br /><br />
The next round of <a href="http://www.planetarion.com/">Planetarion</a>
has started. Since the old BattleCalc a) doesn't work this round and
b) was Windows-only (of course, it ran great in
<a href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a> ;) ), I decided to whip up my
own battle calculator. It's still pretty rough, and there isn't a GUI
just yet -- although it does create CSV output so you can view the
battle in Excel, Gnumeric, or your spreadsheet program of choice).
Anyway, you can download my battle calculator
<a href="/projects/pacalc/">here</a>.
<br /><br />
Oh yeah, I also updated my <a href="/planet/">Planetarion resource
page</a>. Having trouble starting your planet? Be sure to check
out the

Plan</a>, a rough guide on your planet's first 72 hours.
