The second release candidate for 0.8.1 is out (the first one was not announced). 0.8.2 notably contains a HTTP forward proxy, handling incoming HTTP requests on custom transports and a MongoDB based session store. On top of that, there are many smaller improvements in the HTTP server, web/REST generator, JSON/BSON support and the TLS sub system.

0.8.2-rc.2 on code.dlang.org:
http://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-d/0.8.2-rc.2

It also hopefully finally fixes the OpenSSL 1.1.x support on all systems. Add the following dependency + sub configuration to the package recipe for linking against OpenSSL 1.1.x instead of OpenSSL 1.0.x:

dub.sdl:
  dependency "vibe-d:tls" version="*"
  subConfiguration "vibe-d:tls" "openssl-1.1"

dub.json:
  "dependencies": {
      ...,
      "vibe-d:tls": "*"
  },
  "subConfigurations": {
      "vibe-d:tls": "openssl-1.1"
  }

The final release is scheduled for Monday 2017/12/11.

very nice to see development going strong
