Release 2.50

What's new in V2.50 aka "The InternetBaby"

Many fixes, see the commit log for the entire fix history.

(1) The backend HTTP server is much better and standards-compliant now.
(2) Ability to code RAW (non JSON) APIs.
(3) APIs can look at raw server object which contains raw incoming Request and Response objects.
(4) Ability to develop APIs which return binary or non JSON response (e.g. file downloads).
(5) Monkshu component has much richer API now to make it easier to write Web components.
(6) Small fixes to the router module for better URL handling.
(7) Monkshu components have inbuilt per component memory support now to support HTML5 sessions inside the component when there are multiple instances of the same component on the same page. Each instance will have its own session memory now.
(8) Added more error codes - 403, 429 for use cases with throttling or forbidden API calls.
(9) installApp.bat and installApp.sh are added to help to deploy Monksh apps a single step process from Git -> Prod.

And the biggest feature

Global distributed memory support with an integrated blackboard. This will allow Monkshu apps to work at Internet scale with a distributed memory that can span clusters across data centers and countries. Allows building SAS, internet-scale applications with minimal effort. See commit 1784701.

Release 2.0

Release 2.0 includes major improvements in the Web Components architecture, HTTP servers and the backend API engine.

• The HTTP servers now include support for GZIP, easier support for HTTPS, and HTTP security headers. The effect should be in much faster performance, reduced data size due to GZIP compression and much better security.

• Much better Web Components support with improvement to the Web Component architecture.

• Backend API server now includes a pluggable API engine. Which allows for adding in native support for API Management. JWT tokens are now supported for validation.

Many other changes which can be ascertained by comparing with the previous release for a list of commits.

Release 2.01

Pulls in bugs for the API management engine to allow applications to extend it properly.

Needed for APIBoss to work.

Much better and almost full support for HTML web components and templates

v1.95 - has full support for Web Components. Can render in "true" mode, which uses ShadowDOM or "simulated" mode, which uses single Document, no Shadow.

• Support for HTML templates
• Full support for Web Components
• ShadowDOM support
