Overview

This is a major release, aimed primarily at refactoring and cleanup of the codebase. The main focus is made on the embedded usage. The documentation has been fully revamped, and published at https://cesanta.com/docs. Porting from the 6.x version is not straightforward, despite all concepts stayed intact. The major changes include:

• CGI support has been removed

• WebDAV support has been removed

• Socks5 support has been factored to the example

• Digest auth support has been removed. The anticipated usage is Basic + TLS

• Mongoose documentation

Non-amalgamated sources

The non-amalgamated sources are kept in src/, and amalgamation is performed by Makefile. Set -DMG_ENABLE_LINES compiler option to enable non-amalgamated diagnostics.

CI tests and coverage

A Circle CI tests are established, to test on the common platforms and compilers, for both ISO C and ISO C++ mode. Also, an automatic test coverage tracking is performed.

• Mongoose CI tests
• Mongoose test coverage

The plan for the next releases is to add platform-specific examples (like for ESP32, STM32, etc) and integrate them into CI, to ensure they do not break as development continues.

Continuous fuzzing test

Mongoose is integrated into Google's https://oss-fuzz.com/ service, to enable continuous fuzzing code tests. This helps to find security issues early on.
