The Release Cycle

Like any living form, even silicon-based, the mORMot has its own cycle of life, following the coding seasons and commits history.

This was time to publish a new stable version of our Open Source framework for Delphi and FPC.
We want indeed to make some official releases in a regular way, to ease integration into end user projects.

Here is an extract of the release notes:

Feedback Welcome

Some of the new features were already discussed in this blog, but you are free to ask for more on our forum, as usual.

There was also a lot of small but meaningful changes and enhancements in the source code tree.
Especially in the HTTP/REST part, to reach the top of the TechEmpower Framework Benchmark ranks.
