By the way - i noticed this in newer uppVers:
using TcpSocket = Socket <= for backward compatibility,
but it should probably not be marked as just 'for backward compatibility',
since there are also UdpSockets - are they avail in Upp?

Hi,

The renaming happened because U++ (And former TcpScoket) has gained AF_UNIX (unix domain socket) support. So semantically the move is correct (Socket class can act as both a Tcp socket and unix socket). And there is no plan to have UdpSocket in Upp core (yet there is Urr package in UppHub). Frankly, there is no real reason to encapsulate them anyway, they are already very primitve and easy to use.

By the way, come join us also in our discord server, it is more active nowadays.

Best regards,
