About
=====
Vstr is a string library designed for network communication, but
applicable in a number of other areas. It works on the idea of
separate nodes of information, and the length/ptr model and not the
termination model of "C strings". It does dynamic resizing of strings
as you add/delete data.
It can also do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory, and
includes a portable version of a printf-like function (which is ISO
9899:1999 compliant, and includes support for i18n parameter position
modifiers).
Other convenience functions are also included, so you can: easily
split data from a string into sections (similar to perl's split
function); and get string data from a socket or put data to a
socket.
Main Changes
------------
. Fixed ABI bug introduced in 1.0.3
. Fixed bug for when substituting data of type _PTR and _REF and having
certain values of position cache.
. Speed enhancement for export_cstr_ptr() in certain cases.
