Hi,
I'm looking for a good, efficient, reliable and cross-platform network library.
The only good one I know is Raknet but now it's not supported anymore, surely it's not the best choice anymore.
I heard of ENet not far ago and that looks to be a good lib.
Is it a good choice ?
Thanks
Both RakNet and ENet have pretty quiet commit logs these days because they're mature/stable products that don't need to be tinkered with further.

There's this branch though which contains community updates to RakNet:
ENet is heavily lightweight compared to Raknet, if both are stable and mature, does that make him a better choice ?

I was using raknet, but since I found it bloated, so I tried switching to enet, but I found several features missing that games would really like to have: Timestamping, and some other security stuff, so I aborted the attempt. If you don't have the time/resources to implement such features, then use raknet for now.
