Description

Core Sockets contains our SSL/TLS supporting socket layer, for both client and server applications. The Generic Server unit makes developing servers extremely easy for all of the operating systems we support (including thread management). The FTP Server is much like our old FTPServerCore, where you implement the protocol logic on top for each command.

The Utilities Bundle is a collection of units which help you develop solutions across the operating systems we support. Classes gives you either a core class/object or a critical oriented class/object. Environment contains calls which are unique to the different operating systems, like TimeCounter(), GetComputerName(), etc. The Hash unit contains code for Adler32, MD2, 4, 5 SHA 1 and many checksum methods. This unit will continue to grow as we certify our hash code works as expected across all of the operating systems we support. Numeric and String units contain high performance string and numeric manipulation routines. There are routines which are the same speed as the SysUtils calls on certain operating systems, however, certain operating systems our methods are much faster. Object Pool is useful to pre-create instances of connections and pulling from the pool as needed. QuickSort contains a collection of high-speed sorts. Threads is a collection of threading routines which are cross-platform oriented. Balanced Tree is a class/object capable of doing a B-Tree for any type of object. CacheArray is our thread safe replacement for TStringList, TThreadList, TList and useful for our logging components. Which brings me to our fast memory manager which out performance the built-in ones for FPC and Delphi, and is even faster than FastMM4!
