Re: [gnet-dev] select() on multiple fd

["Andrew J. Lanoix" <alanoix umich edu>]

For Win32, everyone should be using glib-20010301 and gnet-20010304 unless 
they have a real good reason not to upgrade.  Tor and I consider these 
releases stable. Prior to this, Glib's async socket code was broken and I 
had implement a workaround in GNet as a temporary fix. Tor completely 
rewrote the socket code for Glib using a separate thread for each socket, 
which we believe is the best solution.

PS. David-- Can we drop the link on the website to the old Win32 1.0.4.1 
zips and mark the 20010304 release as stable? Thanks.
