[Cppcms-users] CppCMS 0.99.9 Released

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Hello CppCMS Users,

CppCMS 0.99.9 was released:

New Features:
-------------

-   Clang is support provided, CppCMS was tested against
    Clang 2.8.

    Now CppCMS supports 5 families of C++ compilers:

    - GCC 3.4.x to 4.6.1
    - Visual Studio 2005 - 2010
    - Clang 2.8
    - Intel 11
    - Sun Studio 5.10

-   Significant performance improvements in XSS filtering by
    rewriting URI validation using a C++ parser rather then
    using complex regular expression.

    Added support of fully custom validation for HTML
    attributes using callback functions in the XSS filter.

-   Significant performance improvements over multiple places
    in code by eliminating multiple memory allocations:

    -   HTTP, SCGI and FastCGI backends - improved memory allocation
        for CGI variables.
    -   Fetching values from JSON objects using get(...),
        find(...) APIs is now done with 0 memory allocation.
    -   URL mapping is now done with 0 or very low memory allocation.
    -   Various filters like `escape`, `urlencode` and some others
        now work with no or few memory allocations.

-   Performance improvements in caching by replacing
    the balanced binary tree by hash table in the
    primary cache key index.

Breaking Changes:
-----------------


-   `json::object` had changed from `std::map<std::string,value>`
    to `std::map<string_key,value>`. It should be fully 
    transparent for almost all users.


Bugs:
-----

-   Fixed a crash in http::response when writing HTTP headers
    throws due for example to incorrect file permissions.
-   Fixed a bug in `booster::regex` that prevented some valid
    patterns to be matched against some regular expressions.
-   Fixed a bug that may prevent from `booster::regex` to work on
    big endian 64 bit platforms
-   Added initial support of Python3 for templates compiler.
-   Added a workaround for systems that use python3 by default.
