0.13 - 0.13.1
Stability: fix socket leakage in client when connection process is timed out.

0.12.12 - 0.13
This realease is binary incompatible with previous ones!

• Client: do not resolve target host from client when proxy is used.
• Server: fix memory leak when client refuses to read from socket.
• Fix XML build during stack unwinding due to exception. I.e. allow call XML-RPC from destructors.
• Some code cleanups aim future maintenance ease.

Hello!

I have moved the code of Libiqxmlrpc to GitHub: https://github.com/adedov/libiqxmlrpc

Fix parsing errors for string/binary nodes > 10Mb.

Support for SSL connections verification was added. Now there is possibility to verify

API Changes:
* New Struct::find and Struct::erase methods... read more

* Fix xml-writer compatibility with libxml2-2.6.

Changes 0.10.1 - 0.11:
* Fix parser's incorrect behavior for some corner cases.

Big thanks to Pavel Denisov who has escalated bugs to me.
I've removed 0.10.0 files in sake of users safety.

This realease is binary incompatible with previous ones! No Windows update, so far.

News:
The library is now licensed under 2-clause BSD license.

Enchancements:
* New XML parser and XML serializer based on libxml2 xmlreader/xmlwriter technology. This change DRAMATICALLY decreases memory usage of XML parse/dump tasks for LARGE datasets and significantly improves XML parse/dump performance (20-30%) for LARGE datasets.
* Get rid of libxml++ dependency.... read more

I guess I will change library license to MIT or new-BSD next major release.

Changes in 0.9.0
This realease is binary incompatible with previous ones!

* Firewall now sends HTTP 403 Forbidden as a default reject action.
* Icrease buffer size for hostname calculations (thanks to Ryan Braud).
* Fix hang in client during connection to server that rejects connections on specific port (thanks to Ryan Braud for bug report).
* Fix coredump in case if name of struct member contains XML tags.
* API enhancments: Http_server and Https_server allow binding to specific IP, not only port.... read more

Changes in 0.8.10
* Client_base::set_timeout now affects connection process too.
* Fix compatibility with xmlrpc++: do not throw error on absent

See https://sourceforge.net/projects/libiqxmlrpc/files/libiqxmlrpc/0.8.10

* Increase thread-safety in Date_time, http server
(by using boost data_time instead of localtime/gmtime functions).
* Turn off XML-formatting for XML-RPC requests/responses.
* Remove users guide from sources because it lives now at
libiqxmlrpc.wikidot.com.

Hi!

I've moved most contents from old wiki that had been hosted on libiqxmlrpc.sf.net to http://libiqxmlrpc.wikidot.com. The old site redirects to a new place now.

Also, I've ported users guide that were shipped with source code onto wikidot. Guide's sources will be removed from source tree in next release.

This release introduces binary incompatibilities with 0.8.6a.

Incompatibilities:
* Binary compatibility with previous releases broken.
* Unit test require Boost 1.34. Sorry, I have no enough mana to
maintain different boost branches for unit tests.
* The to_xml method of Request and Response classes became private.
Use new dump_xml functions that do not depend on XML parser library.

Enhancements:
* Now users able to construct/parse raw XML-RPC requests/responses
by them-selves in order to achieve higher level of customization
abilities.
* Add support for GCC visibility "hidden" option.... read more

0.8.6 - 0.8.6a
* Fix undefined behavior in Pool_executor, introduced in 0.8.6.
* Fix undefined behavior in http module built with MSVC 8.

0.8.5 - 0.8.6
Several fixes related to starting/stopping server:
* Server no longer wait for all open connections to close on exit.
This is much more secure behavior.
* Now it is safe using the same Server object after work/set_exit_flag cycle.
* Fix thread-leaks in Pool_executor_factory.

Compilation fix on Windows
