Hi mongoose-users,
This is an announcement of 5.0 release.
In this release:
o Internal core has been changed from blocking, thread-per-connection to
non-blocking, asynchronous, one thread for all.
o 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)
o 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
o keep-alive support is the default
o Dropped SSI support and throttling support
o 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)
o 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
o mongoose is now capable on listening on only one port
Updated documentation is at http://cesanta.com/#docs
Happy New Year,
Sergey.
