Intro
----------------------------------------------------------------------
These are release notes for ocamlnet-2.2.
In general, the stability of this version is excellent.
About 90 % of the code has been taken over from previous versions
of ocamlnet, equeue, netclient, and rpc, and this means that this
code is already mature. About 10 % of the code has been newly
developed:
- netcgi2 is a revised version of the cgi library. Large parts
are completely new.
- netplex is the new server framework. Fortunately, it could already
be used in a production environment, and it has proven excellent
stability there.
- netcgi2-plex combines netcgi2 and netplex.
- nethttpd has now the option to use netcgi2 as cgi provider
(configure option -prefer-netcgi2).
- netshm adds shared memory support.
- equeue-ssl and rpc-ssl add SSL support to the RPC libraries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Problems
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are known problems in this preview release:
- There is no good concept to manage signals. This is currently done
ad-hoc. For now, this does not make any problems, or better, there
is always the workaround that the user sets the signal handlers
manually if any problems occur.
- The new cookie implementation of netcgi2 should replace the old
one in netstring. Users should be prepared that Netcgi.Cookie
will eventually become Nethttp.Cookie in one of the next releases.
- In netcgi2-plex, the "mount_dir" and "mount_at" options are not yet
implemented.
- In netclient, aggressive caching of HTTP connections is still
buggy. Do not use this option (by default, it is not enabled).
- The FTP client is still incomplete.
