Hi Everyone!
So, I've been busy the past few hours doing a final push to get 0.7 out the door so that starting tomorrow I can start working on the 0.8 branch to improve the server-side HTTP implementation. Now, it's official, 0.7 is out the door and is ready for prime-time. ;-)
In case you'd like to try it out, it's header only and you can download the 0.7 release from:
http://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/downloads
This has numerous improvements and enhancements over the 0.6 version, and has a more robust definition of the concepts included in the library. Now anybody can start extending cpp-netlib with their own protocol implementations using the common message type. If you want your work to integrate cleanly with the project, you can go ahead and fork my repository (as the project's "benevolent dictator for life") and submit pull requests in case you want to get your implementation/fixes/extensions into the main library distribution.
As earlier stated, 0.8 will be a server-side focused development effort which will include a lot of cool things not just an improved HTTP server interface. If you'd like to discuss the effort or join the development, please feel free to send email to either the Boost Developer mailing list (because this library will be submitted for review and inclusion in Boost around December 2010) or the cpp-netlib developers mailing list.
Allow me to add that the account http://github.com/cpp-netlib is now registered as an organisation, for anyone wishing to follow this project, and the full 0.7 documentation is now available at http://cpp-netlib.github.com. Glyn
