Changelog

v0.10.2 - 2024-

Features and improvements

  • Adds a new @viaStatus REST parameter annotation for customizing the HTTP status - pull #2806
  • Adds a MongoCollection.find overload taking only a FindOptions parameter - pull #2804

Bug fixes

  • Fixes parsing plural-only translations in PO files and improves error messages - pull #2805

v0.10.1 - 2024-09-07

With 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.

Features and improvements

  • Added the vibe.web.rpc module for HTTP based bi-directional RPC communication - pull #2797, pull #2798, pull #2799, pull #2800
  • Added SMTPAuthType.xoauth2 to enable OAUTH based authentication for GMail and Office 365 (by Mathias Lang aka Geod24) - pull #2803

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a possible InvalidMemoryOperationError when empty MongoCursor instances were being leaked to the GC - issue #2793, pull #2794

v0.10.0 - 2024-02-19

This 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.

Features and improvements

  • The vibe.d toolkit is now organized into these packages
    • vibe-d: Contains the web and REST framework, as well as MongoDB/Redis drivers, and an SMTP client
    • vibe-http: HTTP client/server, proxy, WebSockets, sessions, router, file server etc.
    • vibe-inet: Internet standard related functionality, such as URL, web forms, HTML encoding and others, as well as a Markdown parser
    • vibe-stream: Advanced stream types and TLS support
    • vibe-core: The I/O and concurrency core functionality
    • vibe-container: Important container types used throughout the library
    • eventcore: Low-level abstraction over the operating system asynchronous I/O and messaging facilities

v0.9.8 - 2024-02-16

v0.8.3 - 2018-03-08

v0.8.0 - 2017-07-10

The 0.8.x branch marks the final step before switching each individual sub package to version 1.0.0. This has already been done for the Diet template module (now diet-ng) and for the new vibe-core package that is released simultaneously. The most prominent changes in this release are a full separation of all sub modules into individual folders, as well as the use of @safe annotations throughout the code base. The former change may require build adjustments for projects that don't use DUB to build vibe.d, the latter leads to some breaking API changes.

Features and improvements

  • Compiles on DMD 2.070.2 up to DMD 2.075.0-b1, this release also adds support for -m32mscoff builds ("x86_mscoff")

    • Added a "vibe-core" configuration to "vibe-d" and "vibe-d:core" that uses the new vibe-core package

    • Reworked the buffered I/O stream API
      • The InputStream based overload of OutputStream.write has been moved to a global function pipe()
      • read and write now accept an optional IOMode parameter (only IOMode.all is supported for the original vibe:core, but vibe-core supports all modes)
      • InputStream.leastSize and .dataAvailableForRead are scheduled for deprecation - IOMode.immediate and IOMode.once can be used in their place
    • Added forward compatibility code to "vibe:core" so that dependent code can use either that or vibe-core as a drop-in replacement
  • HTTP server
    • Server contexts are now managed thread-locally, which means that multiple threads will attempt to listen on the same port if requested to do so - use HTTPServerOption.reusePort if necessary

    • Boolean parameters now accept "1" and case insensitive "true" as true - pull #1712
    • Server responses now output prettified JSON if built in debug mode
    • Stack traces are only written in debug mode - issue #1623
    • Reduced the number of chunks written by StreamOutputRange.put for large input buffers (affects WebSockets and chunked HTTP responses)
  • Switched to std.experimental.allocator instead of the integrated vibe.utils.memory module

v0.7.28 - 2016-02-27

This is a hotfix release, which fixes two critical regressions. The first one resulted in memory leaks or memory corruption, while the second one could cause TCP connections to hang indefinitely in the close method for the libevent driver.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a regression in FreeListRef which caused the reference count to live outside of the allocated memory bounds - issue #1432

  • Fixed the UDP receive timeout to actually work in the libevent driver - issue #1429
  • Fixed handling of the "Connection" header in the HTTP server to be case insensitive - issue #1426

v0.7.27 - 2016-02-09

In preparation for a full separation of the individual library components, this release splits up the code logically into multiple DUB sub packages. This enables dependent code to reduce the dependency footprint and compile times. In addition to this and a bunch of further improvements, a lot of performance tuning and some important REST interface additions went into this release.

Note that the integration code for std.concurrency has been re-enabled with this release. This means that you can use std.concurrency without worrying about blocking the event loop now. However, there are a few incompatibilities between std.concurrency and vibe.d's own version in vibe.core.concurrency, such as std.concurrency not supporting certain shared(T) or Isolated!T to be passed to spawned tasks. If you hit any issues that cannot be easily resolved, the usual vibe.d behavior is available in the form of "Compat" suffixed functions (i.e. sendCompat, receiveCompat etc.). But note that these functions operate on separate message queue structures, so mixing the "Compat" functions with non-"Compat" versions will not work.

Features and improvements

  • Compiles on DMD frontend versions 2.066.0 up to 2.070.0
  • Split up the library into sub packages - this prepares for a deeper split that is going to happen in the next release
  • A lot of performance tuning went into the network and HTTP code, leading to a 50% increase in single-core HTTP performance and a lot more in the multi-threaded case over 0.7.26

v0.7.24 - 2015-08-10

Some notable changes are the addition of WebSocket support in the vibe.web.web module and the planned deprecation of opDispatch for Json and Bson, as well as the rename of all "SSL" symbols to "TLS". HTTP request handlers can, and should, now take the request/response parameters as scope, which will later allow to improve performance without compromising safety.

  • Renamed Signal to ManualEvent to avoid confusion with other kinds of "signals"
  • MemoryStream now supports dynamically growing to the buffer limit
  • HttpServer will now drop incoming connections that don't send data within 10 seconds after the connection has been established
