  • Tutorial is available here

• ✨ Revamped Thread pool system

  • Revamp note: After research and trial and error, and feedback from other people and after trying it in a project, i realized that i made the implementation wrong, as i used to create each threads whenever there is a work to do, which added CPU Time and latency, so after Reading this Wikipedia Page (Last visited on Augest 2, 2024 at 2:37 PM GMT +1). I noticed that I should've created the threads At once and from the beggining. so I did just that in this update and it did do wonders.
  • Tutorial is available here

• ⚒️ Moved Base OPCode Commands' Response handling from being built-in inside the client handling, into their own functions in the <SNF/cmds.h> file.

• ⚙️ Improuved Client handling & bug fixed related to it.

• ⚙️ Improuved Documentation

• ⚙️ Improuved Makefile in the following

  • ⚙️ make cleanlib: cleans the shared library binary ( Requires root access )
  • ⚙️ make t_<Test File> make buildtest: Now builds tests with Address Sanitizer on by default ( Doesn't include make gdbt_<Test File> )

• ♻️ Renamed <SNF/locate3.h> ➡️ <SNF/lookup3.h> , Due to a mistake ( Lookup3 being the appropriate name )

Client

  • Tutorial is available here
• ✨(new) Added SNFClient.Exception.OPCode.Unregistred: Thrown when an SNFClient.OPCode.Member was not registred but used either by the client or the server.
• ♻️ Renamed RequestResponseCB(Request Response) ➡️ RequestCB(Request Response) in SNFClient.Callbacks: The naming of delegates is related to it's parameters and not it's use case, this to avoid making two delegates that serve their own usecase but require matching parameters
