PTLib is a moderately large C++ class library that originated many years
|
|
ago as a method to produce applications that run on both Microsoft
|
|
Windows and Unix X-Windows systems. It also was to have a Macintosh port
|
|
as well, but this never eventuated. In those days it was called the
|
|
PWLib the Portable Windows Library.
|
|
|
|
Since then, the availability of multi-platform GUI toolkits such as KDE
|
|
and wxWindows, and the development of the OpenH323 and OPAL projects as
|
|
primary user of the library, has emphasised the focus on networking, I/O
|
|
portability, multi-threading and protocol portability. Mostly, the
|
|
library is used to create high performance and highly portable
|
|
network-centric applications. So all the GUI abstractions ahave been
|
|
dropped and it was renamed the Portable Tools Library that you see
|
|
today.

|
NOTE:
|
|
This is a fork of PTLib 2.10.9 to keep a stable API for the H323Plus library and
|
|
the GNU Gatekeeper. The main PTLib development branch makes substantial API
|
|
changes with every version, while this branch keeps the API stable and only
|
|
makes compatible changes wherever possible.
|
|
This fork is actively maintained to fix bugs and security issues.
