    C++ Portable Types Library
    Release 2.0.0

    http://www.melikyan.com/ptypes/

    The C++ Portable Types Library (PTypes) is a simple alternative to the
    STL that includes multithreading and networking. It defines dynamic
    strings, character sets, variants, lists and other basic data types
    along with threads, synchronization primitives and IP sockets. It is
    portable across modern Unix and Windows systems and includes a sample
    HTTP daemon showing the full power of the library.

    In this release container classes/templates have been completely redesigned.
    As an alternative to std::vector PTypes now offers 2 separate templates,
    tpodlist and tobjlist, which were specifically designed to eliminate the
    template 'code blow' problem and to perform dynamic array reallocations in
    the most efficient way. A limitation for element types that existed in the
    previous versions (must be derived from 'unknown') is no longer in effect.
    The old interfaces for lists are preserved for backward compatibility.

    This release also features Cygwin port, a standard installation procedure
    for UNIX ('make install'), several minor improvements and bug fixes. Please,
    see the change log for more details:
