OCaml-9P

OCaml-9P is a pure OCaml implementation of the 9P2000 protocol from Plan 9, together with an 9P client. As of version 0.3.2 the client part of the protocol is almost complete. Support for the [TR]wstat and [TR]Auth packages are still not implemented. The server side is very incomplete.

The 9P client included in OCaml-9P can replace the 9P client shipped with Window Manager Improved (wmiir). However, there is no real benefit with using the 9P cilent as a drop-in replacement for wmiir. The idea behind this library was to use OCaml-9P as a library for writing a complete wmii control appliction in OCaml.

• ocaml-9p-0.3.3

  OCaml-IXP is now called OCaml-9P. There is no such thing as an IXP protocol, it was only a clever name for another implementation.

• ocaml-ixp-0.3.2

  The integer overflow problem is gone, Tstat is implemented, more exeception handling is done and it should be rather usable by now.

  Documentation added!

• ocaml-ixp-0.2

  Rather complete release, missing stat / wstat and auth functionality. There are some known bugs, the largest problem is that everything is unpacked to a 31bit integer (even 64 bit integeres) so there might be overflow bugs.

  Everything that is needed to implement an RC file for Wmii is however in place.
