A new helper library has been added to the project portfolio: libimobiledevice-glue. This library contains common code that is used by the libraries and tools around the libimobiledevice project.
The main functionality provided by this library are socket helper functions and a platform independent thread/mutex implementation. Besides that it comes with a number of string, file, and plist helper functions, as well as some other commonly used code that was originally duplicated in the dedicated projects.
