+Named Pipes
+===========
+- Named Pipe transport has been added in the TPipe and TPipeServer classes.
+ This is currently Windows-only (see below).
+
Known issues
============
-- Does not support named pipes. (Supported in unix through unix domain sockets).
+- Named pipe transport for *NIX has not been implemented. Domain sockets are
+ a better choice for local IPC under non-Windows OS's. *NIX named pipes
+ only support 1:1 client-server connection.
