Happy New Year! Crow's January plans
Published on January 2, 2022 by Farook Al-Sammarraie

Let me start by saying Happy New Year and Thanks to everyone supporting Crow!

While I would like to put a 2022 plan. A year ago I had no idea I would be committing this much to Crow. So I'll take things as they come.

The plan is to have v0.3+4 and v1.0 release this month, it will be a simultaneous release to make sure v0.3 is bug free and mark the end of its support in favor of v1.0.

The HTTP parser has been upgraded, but a lot of work remains to remove any dead code and better integrate it with the rest of the project.
The goal is to make the NodeJS HTTP parser* that Crow has used for years as readable and manageable as can be, in addition to trying to limit its scope and prevent the feature creep that the NodeJS development team was facing.
So far the progression is promising and several improvements have been made.

Once the aforementioned parser upgrades are made and tested, I believe v1.0 will be ready.




* While the parser was being used by NodeJS, it is not written in JavaScript, but C, and is based on the Nginx HTTP parser.
