vibe.d 0.8.3 release

Header image
Thu, 08 Mar 2018The deprecation phase of the legacy "vibe-d:core" module starts with this release by defaulting to the new "vibe-core" package. Additionally, DMD 2.079.0 is supported and some notable improvements have been made to the HTTP implementation, with the URLRouter in particular, as well as other parts of the library.

Features and improvements

  • The "vibe-core" package is now used by default - the "libevent"/"win32"/"libasync" configurations can still be used to continue using the legacy vibe-d:core package, but beware that it will be removed by the end of the year
  • Compiles on DMD 2.073.2 up to 2.079.0 and LDC 1.3.0 up to 1.8.0
  • HTTP sub system

  • Changed the MongoDB code to default to SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication (by Sebastian Wilzbach) - issue #1967, pull #2027
  • Made remove and exists available from the various Redis... container types (by Geoffrey-A) - pull #2026

Switching back to the classic vibe-d:core

The old core implementation, although vibe-core is the new default starting with this release, will still be supported until at least the end of this year. If you encounter any issues with vibe-core, you can switch back to the old implementation by using a sub configuration directive in the package recipe:

SDL syntax:

dependency "vibe-d:core" version="~>0.8.3"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "libevent"

JSON syntax:

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ...
        "vibe-d:core": "~>0.8.3"
    },
    "subConfigurations": {
        "vibe-d:core": "libevent"
    }
}

The alternative configurations "win32"/"win32_mscoff" and "libasync" are also still available.
