-
-
-## 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 by 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 configuration 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 3.7, Feb 2 2013

- 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
