These are release notes for ocamlnet-3.0.
Major changes include:
- Port to Win32
- The new Rpc_proxy layer
- Netplex has been extended (Netplex_sharedvar etc.)
- New implementation of the Shell library for starting subprocesses
- Uniform debugging with Netlog.Debug
- Exception printers (Netexn)
- Coordination of signal handling in Netsys_signal
- New foundation for Unixqueue via pollsets
- Extended Unixqueue engines (e.g. Uq_io)
- More system calls in netsys
- Camlboxes as an efficient way of message passing between processes

Also, there are lots of smaller improvements and bug fixes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Problems
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are known problems in this preview release:
- The port to Win32 is incomplete and still alpha quality
- Sometimes, DNS errors are just reported by the exception Not_found
- In netcgi2-plex, the "mount_dir" and "mount_at" options are not yet
implemented.
- In netclient, aggressive caching of HTTP connections is still
buggy. Do not use this option (by default, it is not enabled).
- The FTP client is still incomplete.
