4) Give main feature(s) you like : Multi threading and Multi protocols
5) Give main feature(s) you hate : Complex API, it is in C instead of C++.
6) Optional comments :
We don't really understand why non-W3C member have to wait
extra time before getting the library. Seems everybody benefits from
the bug reports of the "world". If this were a commercial product, I
could understand the delay, but isn't it just silly to make everybody
wait? Surely, people don't join the W3C to get the software a month or
two earlier.
