Initialize winsock with version 2.2

Open trueqbit opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

asio::detail::winsock_init initalizes winsock with v2.0.

Not sure whether this makes any difference for asio and the world in general, I just think it's a good idea to default to the latest version.

  • v2.0 was only an internal draft version.
  • v2.1 was the first public winsock 2 specification.
  • Nobody needs 16-bit OS support these days anymore?
  • v2.2 itself is ages old, and supported back to Windows 95 OSR2.
