Hi,

I'm proud to announce the first official release of Anet, a networking
library for the Ada programming language.

The project website is at [1], the current release 0.2 can be downloaded
from [2]. An example on how to use Anet to implement
client/server-applications is provided on the project page as well.

Anet currently provides the following features:

* BSD socket implementation
* High abstraction level
* Extendable socket type hierarchy
* Socket receiver tasks (Stream and Datagram)
* Ada type serialisation/deserialisation over sockets
* Supported socket families
  - IPv4 (AF_INET)
  - IPv6 (AF_INET6)
  - Packet (AF_PACKET)
  - UNIX domain (AF_UNIX)
  - Netlink (AF_NETLINK)
* Supported socket modes
  - Stream (TCP)
  - Datagram (UDP)
* Support for IPv4/IPv6 multicast
* UDP/IPv4 packet creation and validation
* Binding to the Linux Packet Filter (LPF) system

Kind regards,
- reto
