  • Fix build issues on macOS
  • Improve handling of ancillary receive buffers
  • Add a new system property to control what happens when the library override fails to load

  • Add support for FreeBSD (Intel 64-bit)
  • Fix an NPE when junixsocket is on the bootstrap classloader

(2019-02-17) junixsocket 2.2.0

  • New supported platform: Linux ARM 32-bit and 64-bit (e.g., Raspberry Pi)
