Hello all, This is a small release, but I thought I would tell you about it. I have added some new stuff to my Haskell server framework, Wheb. For those of you (most) who don't know about Wheb, here is Wheb's description from github:
Wheb's a framework for building robust, high-concurrency web applications simply and effectively. Its primary goal is to extend the functionality of the base WAI library as well as provide an easy entry point into Haskell web servers. The only prerequisite is "Learn you a Haskell" or another introductory Haskell course.
I fleshed out some more examples, rewrote some of the documentation and made some feature improvements to make it easier to build plugins. The github repo's readme now contains a small tutorial. Probably the biggest change this release is the addCleanupHook which you can use to hook in and run IO actions after server shutdown to cleanup any open resources. Wheb handles the SIGINT signal and waits for all requests to complete before shutting down. Here is the complete changelog: - Ability to read settings from a file - Add graceful shutdown and cleanup hooks. - Ability to monitor number of active connections. - Remove Data.Default - Add builder helper function - URL encoding You can find Wheb on hackage or github: - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Wheb - https://github.com/hansonkd/Wheb-Framework In addition to these changes, I have released Wheb-Mongo which provides Auth, Sessions and document manipulation/querying for mongoDB. - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wheb-mongo If you have any recommendations please feel free to let me know! -- Kyle Hanson
