Hey all, We are pleased to announce two releases today.
- The first one, wt-2.99.3, reflects ongoing improvements to Wt. This release contains mostly bug fixes and small feature enhancements (see our release notes at http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/Releasenotes.html) The most visible (and intrusive) change in this new release is a simplified internal path API. Many among you have rightfully complained that the current API was hard to deal with. The new API is simpler in behavior (an internal path change results in the internalPathChanged() signal being emitted, once) and reflects more what one expects, and is much simpler to use. The API itself has not changed, only the behavior. The new behavior is the default behavior, but you can still revert to the old behavior by defining a property in the configuration file (see the sample wt_config.xml file). - Our second release is jwt-2.99.3, the first public release of the new Java cousin of C++ Wt. JWt is a native Java version doing (almost) exactly the same as Wt, with a very similar API, but instead running in a Java Servlet container. JWt and Wt are intimately related. In fact, they are pretty much the same: the Java version is "built" from the C++ version, by translating the original C++ code to idiomatic Java code (which was, admittedly, great fun to make). Thus, JWt is not a set of bindings for C++ Wt, but really a native version of Wt. The Java version has been in development for some time now, and we have used it successfully in several customer projects over the last year. The JWt website is at http://www.webtoolkit.eu/jwt So what does this mean for C++ Wt users? First of all, we are absolutely committed to our C++ version, and all development will happen on the C++ version (with the Java version only a 'make' away). Secondly we believe that C++ users will indirectly benefit from its Java offspring as it increases the number of users. In fact, many recent improvements to C++ Wt have been driven by our Java projects. Enjoy!
