Vely release notes for 18.4.0
- Notes: minor release that allows hyphens to be used in application name, plus a few minor enhancements. A commonly asked enhancement is implemented here: if the request handler does not match the name of .vely file, emit an error specifically to that effect; previous error was somewhat unrelated to the cause and was confusing.
- Minor: application name can have a hyphen in it, which is useful for common URL notations (such as REST).
- Release: vv will report if no request handlers found in the build.
- Release: vv will show error message if request handler does not match the name of .vely file

Vely release notes for 18.3.0
- Notes: major performance improvements along with new features are in this release. Building an application is now about 20% faster. Serving requests is faster across several optimizations, most notable being that there's now a built-in hash table that makes any number of requests being routed virtually as fast as a single one. This is very important for large applications under a heavy load. request-handler statement is added in order to facilitate hierarchical URL paths (such as for REST), making writing and reading code easier. Other improvements in building URL are added as well.
- Release: fixed spurious output when compiling (vv -q), when there is no source files present.
- Release: input-param statement now uses an optimization that makes it 2x faster.
- Release: faster request serving due to refactoring names and values to use a single malloc/realloc.
- Minor: added request-handler statement to better serve and emphasise request-handling functions, and to allow hierarchy in request names.
- Minor: allow hierarchical path for a request name; this is very useful for REST or similar methodologies.
- Minor: added double paths, such as /param=value/ as another convenient way to build URLs.
- Release: much faster request routing via hash table that's built into the program data segment. Virtually the same cost to access 1 or 1,000 request handlers.
- Release: stack dumping when erroring out is now only for debugging builds.
- Release: making of Vely application is now considerably faster with internal optimizations.
- Release: added how-to-build-applications article.

Vely release notes for 18.2.0
- Notes: this release is about performance and converting numbers to strings (a commonly asked feature) as well as other output statements. num-string statement is added, which is a high-performance and comprehensive way to convert any integer type (signed or unsigned) to a string in any base (2-36). Several other performance improvements were implemented, especially when outputting data and accepting requests. Building string (such as in write-string) and outputting them is now 20% faster due to optimizations implemented. Additionally p-* statements have added the ability to specify length of input and obtain the bytes written.
- Release: increase performance of handling application path in request processing.
- Release: vely_puts works faster, as any string constants' length is now calculated at compile time, and no such operation is performed at runtime.
- Minor: p-out, p-url, p-web now have length and bytes-written; p-num and p-dbl now have bytes-written; p-path now has bytes-written;
- Minor: added num-string statement to allow fast and comprehensive transformation of any integer numbers to strings, in any base (2-36).

Vely release notes for 18.0.0
- Notes: There are several notable new features in this release. You can now use new --exec option in vv to test any request handler via command line, including REST APIs, by means of specifying the application path, URL path and content from a file (along with content-type, while content-length is automatically computed). You can also call any remote FastCGI server (such as Vely or PHP FPM) by means of --server option, along with --remote (to specify IP:port) or --socket (for local Unix sockets). For command line programs, directory clause in get-sys lets you use the current execution directory in code. Notable enhancements are present in JSON parsing. You can use key-list clause in addition to key clause in order to specify a list of key fragments. This is useful to build keys without creating a key, just by using hierarchical fragments; this increases performance of searching keys in a built-in JSON hash table because it avoids string copying. new-json now has no-hash clause (if you only wish to validate JSON) and node-handler clause for getting each value node along with full node hierarchy in a C event-function handler. The node-handler allows for extremely fast parsing and handling of JSON, and allows you to stop parsing once you've gotten all the data of interest. Unrelated to this, JSON parsing performance has increased by 50% by a number of internal optimizations. pf-out now has format clause, when output format (the same as for printf) is not a constant string. Finally, prior versions searched JSON via keys that did not have to be quoted; now each key must be a valid C string - this is the only fix here that may require minor code change in a Vely application that uses JSON, so it is marked as Major.
- Minor: added --exec options to vv with -r.
- Minor: added --app, --server, --remote, --socket, --content and --content-type in vv utility for -r option.
- Minor: added directory clause to get-sys for command line programs.
- Minor: added key-list clause in read-json.
- Minor: added no-hash and node-handler clauses in new-json.
- Minor: added format clause in pf-out for use with non-constant format expressions.
- Minor: JSON parsing performance increased by 50%.
- Release: added 34 new functional tests.
- Release: simpler JSON example due to new features.
- Major: fixed issue with improper quoting of JSON normalized keys.
2023-08-20
Vely release notes for 17.3.0
- Notes: Debian 12 apt installation package is now available in this release (consequently, Debian 10 package is no longer available, as only two most recent releases are generally carried). In addition, pf-out statement can now output directly into a string, which is properly allocated to hold the result - this is a very convenient method to safely build strings, in addition to write-string. In match-regex, you can now obtain the byte length of the replacement result. In run-query, input clause is now synonymous with ':' for added clarity in writing and reading code.
- Minor: added result-length clause to match-regex statement.
- Minor: pf-out now has 'to' clause to store its output.
- Release: Debian 12 apt package now available.
- Minor: added input clause to run-query statement to be used as a synonym in addition to semicolon.
2023-08-05
Vely release notes for 17.2.0
- Notes: Added support for pcre2 regex search/replace in this release. By default pcre2 is used, and you can also use the posix regex (extended syntax expressions) with --posix-regex option in vv. Some older Linux distributions will still only use posix due to older pcre2 libraries that have name conflicts; however you can upgrade those and use pcre2, see match-regex.
- Minor: added pcre2 regex in addition to the previous posix one; either one can be used. For example, now you can use lookbehinds and lookaheads, and it's generally faster. New regex also now supports UTF8 Unicode characters. New VV_C_POSIXREGEX constant allows for conditional use of either pcre2 or posix regex; see match-regex.
- Minor: added VV_OSNAME_ID constant available in code to conditionally compile depending on Linux distribution/version.
2023-07-27
Vely release notes for 17.1.11
- Notes: added uninstall target to Makefile. This allows to uninstall Vely when installed from source. If you need to upgrade or otherwise manage Vely installation, you can install Vely from pre-built apt/dnf/zypper/pacman packages from the Install page.
- Release: added uninstall to Makefile for source code install; added documentation for it.
2023-07-18
Vely release notes for 17.1.7

- Release: added documentation about sessions in Application architecture, as well as other minor improvements.
2023-07-07
Vely release notes for 17.1.0
- Notes: Major addition in this release is the semantic and self-documenting implementation of tasks and subtasks within requests, which allows for more readable and cleaner application architecture. In addition, C/C++ comments are now properly parsed. Another notable improvement is the color-highlighting of diagnostic messages, which also includes both Vely and C code text (generated or otherwise), with exact placement of error; this makes developing with Vely easier.
- Minor: added semantic support for tasks under requests; see if-task and task-param.
- Minor: added support for C and C++ comments.
- Minor: added max-errors for the number of diagnostic messages.

- Release: fixed bug where set-input would crash with unmanaged memory.
2023-06-03
Vely release notes for 17.0.0
- Notes: This Vely release adds a major new feature: support for distributed computing (see call-server). It allows for server-2-server calls over FastCGI protocol, a fast and capable binary protocol; many calls can be made in parallel, running in separate threads in MT-safe fashion. Further improvements have been made to FastCGI API, a client API for FastCGI, including a completion hook and additional information pertinent to multi-threaded runs, such as done/return_code. Several statements that had limitations on resources are now unlimited (i.e. limited only by OS/machine resources), namely for call-web, exec-program, out-header, send-file; and those improvements have actually reduced the amount of memory used.
- Minor: added new-server, call-server, read-server and delete-server statements for server-to-server calls (distributed computing).
- Minor: added completion hook for FastCGI API.
- Major: added a request pointer to output/error hooks in FastCGI API.
- Minor: added "done" and "return_code" members to FastCGI API request structure ("vv_fc").
- Major: payload-length clause has moved to request-headers and is now content-length in call-web; payload clause is renamed to content. content-type is now mandatory unless files or fields clauses are used. This is to be in accordance with RFC 9110, HTTP Semantics to avoid confusion with frame payloads in HTTP2/3.
- Release: improved error reporting when parsing statements to detect missing parameter in a clause.
- Release: SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2 signals are now ignored as they have no meaning in Vely.
- Minor: the maximum number of input parameter in exec-program is now unlimited.
- Minor: the maximum number of fields and files in call-web is now unlimited.
- Minor: the maximum number of custom headers in HTTP for call-web is now unlimited.
- Release: reduced memory footprint by generating the code for the exact memory usage of internal arrays.

This change allows for less code that is easier to read. Each flag that is enhanced signifies a static choice (such as download in send-file); now however, each such flag will also have an optional boolean expression that allows run-time selection.
- Minor: added secure clause in delete-cookie since newer changes in popular browsers require this option when deleting a secure cookie.

2022-11-29
Vely release notes for 14.2.0
- Minor: simplified URLs to access applications. Path-based URLs are now the default form of URL. This means a URL path in form of /app-path/request-name followed by optional REST-style parameters and a query string. This kind of URL is easier to read and write, general-purpose, and flexible for both REST and non-REST usage. The existing normalized URL will still be available.
- Minor: examples updated with new URL defaults; old ones still work the same to ensure backward compatibility.
