[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] salvia-0.1, salvia-extras-0.1

[Sebastiaan Visser]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce a new version of Salvia, the lightweight  
Haskell Web Server Framework with modular support for serving static  
files, directories indices, default error responses, connection  
counting and logging, HEAD and PUT requests, keep-alives, custom  
banner printing, default handler environments for parsing request and  
printing responses, dispatching based on request methods, URI, paths  
and filename extension, URI rewriting and redirection, virtual  
hosting, cookie, session and user management and more...

Changes since previous version:

- Some more advanced, non-fundamental handlers have been moved to  
their own package salvia-extras. This helps pruning the dependencies a  
bit.
- The package now has some default handler environments that simplify  
setting up a server application.
- The server now has support for keep-alive, significantly increasing  
the performance.
- The library functions are now almost fully documented instead of no- 
documentation-at-all in the previous versions.
- Salvia now also works on windows (I heard).
- Lots of code cleanups throughout the code.
- Lots of minor bug fixes.

To install: use cabal.

Thanks to the people that helped me with suggestions and bug-reports!
