Hi all,

News from the p2p front:
- Lots of little patches. Some notable stuff:
   - there's now a singleton peer class, which writes out the UUID in a  
file in the current directory. This
     class is used by the examples. Keeping a single UUID should help in  
making the small network a bit
     cleaner and more stable;
   - when starting up, the seed list is used to broadcast a peer list  
exchange to all listed peers. This
     should get the node hooked up in seconds;
   - logging is channeled to AWGPeer class side methods, where AWGPeer  
class>>isDebugging: can toggle
     logging (default is off);
   - presence information is exchanged even if there's nothing to say.  
Again, this helps in getting the
     node hooked up to the network quicker.
- the MC sample now uses a two-stage protocol - all peers that announced  
presence for the file are
   asked whether the file is there; peers that answer are then queued up  
and asked one by one to
   send the file. In theory, the peer that answers quickest gets the first  
chance to send the file and
   this would typically succeed; peers that are slow to respond are kept as  
backup. The code is a bit
   complex, and UNTESTED!

Some cleanups are still needed - shutting down a peer still leaves some  
processes running - but all in all the code is shaping up nicely. At the  
moment, loading the package and executing 'AWGSingletonPeer default'  
should hook you up into the network in mere seconds. A bit later, the  
first MC information should be available if you add a Tric P2P type  
repository.

As usual, feedback mostly welcome.

Regards,

Cees
