Thu, 12 Sep 2024With this release, a new remote procedure call mechanism gets added to the vibe.web package, called WebRPC. In its initial implementation, it uses a WebSocket connection to provide bi-directional communication using the HTTP protocol. This enables peer-to-peer communication with one peer behind a NAT/firewall. Defining WebRPC interfaces is mostly compatible with the REST interface framework, so that both can be employed at the same time.

Mon, 19 Feb 2024This major development release brings a big change of the package structure of the low level parts of the toolkit. `vibe-d:http` and everything lower level have been moved to new standalone DUB packages. This will most notably allow to start integrating the HTTP/2 work in `vibe-http` with the rest of the code base, but also reduces friction when working on the lower level functionality, including more frequent releases.

Fri, 16 Feb 2024The most visible change of this release is the absence of most deprecation warnings related to scope ("DIP1000"). Also, REST interface are now required to be @safe and the new vibe-container packages provides some commonly used containers without any extra dependencies.

Tue, 29 Aug 2023This release focuses on getting rid of most scope related deprecation warnings on modern compiler versions. There are still some left, some of which may need to be fixed in the compiler, but the overall compilation output is now pretty clean.

Tue, 21 Mar 2023In the light of the recent step-by-step introduction of DIP 1000 style scope checks, vibe-core has been adjusted and made the jump to 2.0.0. While there are still some deprecation warnings, the API should be future proof now. Also, the MongoDB driver has been revamped and is now compatible up to MongoDB 6.0.

Wed, 13 Jul 2022Updates compiler frontend support to DMD 2.100.1/LDC 1.30.0 and OpenSSL support up to version 3.x.x. This release also brings some URL enhancements and the usual bunch of smaller improvements.

Thu, 30 Sep 2021Brings some important bug fixes in the HTTP client and StreamOutputRange. Also adds custom serializer support and input range return support for the REST interface generator and removes some deprecated symbols.

Sun, 26 Jul 2020Removes all legacy drivers (libevent, win32, libasync) and now fully relies on vibe-core instead. MongoDB authentication and index management has been brought up-to-date and several OpenSSL build issues have been solved.

Thu, 03 Oct 2019Officially deprecates the old libevent based core module and updates compiler support to the latest versions. This release contains a number of small features, bug fixes, as well as improving the default HTTP session cookie security.
