STD
...
ecflow uses many parts of std library. Originally ecflow used boost::shared_ptr, however for ecflow 5, this was replaced with the equivalent std::shared_ptr.
...
The ecflow python API documentation is still provided by SPHINX. However to get documentation into confluence requires some massaging. This conversion was provided by user support.
SSL
Ecflow uses SSL for encrypted communication between the client and server. The cmake build will only use SLL when openssl libs are available on the system. Even when these lib are installed on the system, the user has choice not to use them. It should be noted that SSL enabled client/server carries a small performance penalty. It was added due to external customer request, and it not used internally.
