Crow's December plans
Published on December 4, 2021 by Farook Al-Sammarraie

With formatting and tutorials done, we can turn our attention to improving key components of Crow.

First off we've just fixed a potential memory leak related to response streaming. Which warrants a final patch to v0.3 (v0.3+4). This problem also affects v0.2 therefore we do not recommend using it anymore.

Moving on we're finalizing the introduction of load balancing when using multiple threads (thanks to @belugum), This change will help distribute the load on all worker threads more effectively.

Other changes that will take more time include upgrading the HTTP parser (fixing various bugs and making the code more efficient generally). In addition to asynchronous handlers and making the boost dependency optional (Although the latter two are more things we hope to do before v1.0, not things we're actively working on).

Thank you very much for your continued support.
