# Mongoose Release Notes
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 5.4
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in pre-compiled binaries:
|
||||
* When server is started, browser is started automatically
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 5.3, March 10 2014
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in Libmongoose library:
|
||||
|
||||
* Moved to the evented API. Updated API documentation is at
|
||||
http://cesanta.com/docs/Embed.shtml
|
||||
http://cesanta.com/docs/API.shtml
|
||||
* Added `MG_LUA` event for exporting custom variables to the Lua environment
|
||||
* Added virtual hosts capability, see `url_rewrites` option description at
|
||||
http://cesanta.com/docs/Options.shtml
|
||||
* Added mjpg serving example
|
||||
* Cleaned up and documented HTTP client API, with unit tests
|
||||
* Added `mg_wakeup_server()` to awaken `mg_poll_server()`
|
||||
from another thread
|
||||
* Moved Mongoose IO core to [https://github.com/cesanta/net_skeleton](Net Skeleton)
|
||||
* Added connection hexdump functionality for developers
|
||||
* Bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in pre-compiled binaries:
|
||||
|
||||
* New awesome Mongoose logos buy our designer Katrin - thanks Katrin!
|
||||
Check them out at http://cesanta.com/products.shtml
|
||||
* Added Lua Server Pages support to the free version, quick intro is at
|
||||
http://cesanta.com/docs/Lua.shtml
|
||||
* Added quick "Set shared directory" menu item to set `document_root`
|
||||
* Added SSI support to the Pro version
|
||||
* Removed SSL support from the Pro version
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 5.2, Feb 1 2014
|
||||
|
||||
* Windows binary made fully UNICODE aware. In previous versions,
|
||||
the presence of non-ASCII chars in document root, CGI script name,
|
||||
or directory name might have broken Mongoose as stand-alone
|
||||
or as Windows service. Now Mongoose works with non-ASCII paths properly.
|
||||
Internally, Mongoose uses UTF8 encoding. When making WinAPI calls,
|
||||
mongoose converts UTF8 strings to wide chars and calls UNICODE API.
|
||||
* Enhanced authorization API by providing `mg_set_auth_handler()` and
|
||||
`mg_authorize_digest()`
|
||||
* Removed `mg_add_uri_handler()`, added `mg_set_request_handler()`.
|
||||
There is only oneURI handler that handles all requests, just like in 4.x.
|
||||
The reason for this change is to provide an ability to catch all URIs,
|
||||
and at the same time signal Mongoose to continue handling specific URIs.
|
||||
* Added `mg_parse_multipart()` API for file uploads.
|
||||
Note that the restriction on uploading huge files still exists,
|
||||
and will be eliminated in the next release.
|
||||
* Allowing mongoose to bind to port 0, in which case it'll bind to any
|
||||
random unused port.
|
||||
* Moved `idle_timeout_ms` run-time option to compile-time flag
|
||||
* Added asynchronous HTTP client, not documented yet. Documentation and
|
||||
examples are coming in the next couple of weeks. Async Websocket client
|
||||
is scheduled for the next release. See usage examples at `unit_test.c`
|
||||
* Windows and MacOS pre-built binaries are now split to free and paid ones,
|
||||
paid binaries include CGI, SSL, Lua, Sqlite, support and updates.
|
||||
Linux pre-built binary includes all functionality and is free, and will
|
||||
continue to be free. Source code for Windows and MacOS GUI is closed.
|
||||
Disclaimer: source code for the command line stand-alone server,
|
||||
as well as Mongoose library itself, will never be closed.
|
||||
* Multiple bug fixes and minor enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 5.1, Jan 10 2014
|
||||
|
||||
* CGI-related bugs where fixed, primarily for Windows platform
|
||||
* Bugs on Windows related to UNICODE support were fixed
|
||||
* Added a feature to support "error pages" through redirect.
|
||||
Done using `-url_redirects` option, details are on
|
||||
http://cesanta.com/docs/Options.shtml
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 5.0, Jan 6 2014
|
||||
|
||||
* Internal core has been changed from blocking, thread-per-connection to
|
||||
non-blocking, asynchronous, one thread for all.
|
||||
* API modification for server creation and response creation. That allowed
|
||||
keep-alive support for dynamic requests, boosting the embedded performance
|
||||
to 100+ thousands requests per second on a single core
|
||||
(as measured on my development MacBook laptop)
|
||||
* Unified handling of POST requests and Websocket requests by putting a
|
||||
payload into `conn->content`, `conn->content_len` attributes.
|
||||
That simplified user code and eliminated the need of `mg_read()`,
|
||||
since mongoose buffers all data prior to calling the callback
|
||||
* keep-alive support is the default
|
||||
* Dropped SSI support and throttling support
|
||||
* Several configuraition parameters are gone:
|
||||
* `cgi_environment` (replaced with MONGOOSE_CGI),
|
||||
* `protect_uri` (not useful)
|
||||
* `ssi_pattern` (SSI support is gone)
|
||||
* `throttle` (throttling support is gone)
|
||||
* `error_log_file` (not used)
|
||||
* `enable_keep_alive` (enabled by default)
|
||||
* `listening_ports` (renamed to listening_port)
|
||||
* `num_threads` (core has changed to single thread)
|
||||
* `put_delete_auth_file` (renamed to dav_auth_file)
|
||||
* `authentication_domain` (renamed to auth_domain)
|
||||
* Due to the async, non-blocking nature of the core, few restrictions
|
||||
are now in place:
|
||||
* user callbacks must not block
|
||||
* POST and Websocket data are now buffered, and cannot be huge
|
||||
* mongoose is now capable on listening on only one port
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 4.1, Oct 2014
|
||||
## Release 4.0, Oct 2014
|
||||
## Release 3.8, Sep 2014
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 3.7, Feb 2 2013
|
||||
|
||||
* Added "redirect to SSL port" functionality, e.g. if you specify
|
||||
`-listening_ports 8080r,8043s`
|
||||
then all requests to HTTP port 8080 will be redirected to HTTPS port 8043
|
||||
* Added `mg_download()` API, an HTTP client interface!
|
||||
* Lua server pages now must output HTTP headers -- full control for Lua
|
||||
* Added pre-built binary for MacOS, with initial GUI support
|
||||
* API change: got rid of events, moved to struct `mg_callbacks`
|
||||
* Bugfixes, thanks to contributors
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Release 3.7, Jan 18 2013
|
||||
* Fixed source code archive (main.c was missing)
|
||||
* Extended Windows GUI functionality:
|
||||
* Added "Start browser" systray popup menu item
|
||||
* Enhanced configuration editor
|
||||
* Renamed config options:
|
||||
* `put_delete_passwords_file` -> `put_delete_auth_file`
|
||||
* `global_passwords_file` -> `global_auth_file`
|
||||
* `select()` changed to `poll()`, to avoid big file descriptor
|
||||
`FD_SET` problem on UNIX
|
||||
* Couple of bugfixes, thanks to contributors
