Subject: [ANN] SWS 0.2 released


I am proud to announce new release of SWS web development library.

What is SWS?

SWS is a web development library.  Its major design goal is to follow
the Model-View-Controller pattern, to take the burden of parsing HTTP
parameters and keeping the session information out of developer
shoulders and to make web applications easier to write by using reusable
components. It enables rapid development and easy maintaining of even
complex web applications, such as database ones (together with database
access library - SDS.

What's new in this release:

    1. Adaptors - the application can be deployed standalone or
       as a FastCGI program and additional adaptors (like a
       Webrick one) can be easily added
    2. Frameworks (libraries containing components, code and
       resources
    3. HTML parser rewritten (should now parse all valid HTML
       files)
    4. Resource (images, CSS files etc.) handling
    5. DirectAction (URL-based entry points)
    6. Component-based customizable exception handling
    7. Several new components (FileUpload, Link, GenericContainer
       and GenericElement)
    8. Multipart/form data handling
    9. Session number limit and two scenarios when the limit
       reached (kill LRU session or refuse new one)
   10. .sws files have now YAML format. .api files added
   11. A lot of code refactorings and bugfixes
   12. New documentation, tutorial and more examples
