portable tools library
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.
