I hope this will allow us to share the knowledge, help each other out, and get to know one another a bit better.

Theron now supports x64 builds in Visual Studio, and comes with a Visual Studio 2010 solution. Raw message processing performance has been improved by between 5% and 10%, plus further 20% reduction in benchmark times due to message type registration and x64 support. See the performance page on the website. New features include reporting of undelivered and unhandled messages. Users can now register a per-framework 'fallback' handler which is executed for unhandled messages. The default handler asserts and dumps the details of the message to aid debugging. It's also now possible to query an actor for the number of messages it has pending, useful for load balancing within actor subsystems. Thanks to 4xCoder for helpful suggestions. ]]> http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=47 http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=47 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:50:21 -0500 Version 3.02.01: Fixes for x64 warningsVersion 3.02.01 is a patch release, and fixes some build warnings seen in x64 builds. In future Theron will be adding full support for 64-bit builds, including a Visual Studio 2010 solution file for Windows users. But for now this patch just fixes the warnings. Thanks to 4xCoder for pointing these out. ]]> http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=46 http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=46 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 06:07:43 -0500 Improvements to API documentationIn tandem with the release of 3.02, some work has been done to substantially improve the quality of the included API reference documentation, which is also available online: http://www.theron-library.com/docs/3.02/ ]]> http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=45 http://www.theron-library.com/index.php?t=story&p=45 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 06:06:15 -0500 Version 3.02.00 releasedAnother week, another release.
