While +you probably should not use it in production yet, +many do successfully. Use at your own risk. + +The plan is to have a new RC version every couple +weeks until the summer ends or later if there are +still blocking issues open. Only issues that can't +be fixed without making breaking changes to the +interface may block the release. + +Numerous changes were made since Cowboy 1.0. The +one most people care about is probably HTTP/2, but +it's most likely not the only one worthwhile. The +full list of changes (excluding types) can be found +in the user guide chapter +https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/migrating_from_1.0/[Migrating from Cowboy 1.0 to 2.0]. + +As this is not the full release just yet, please pay +extra attention to details and report anything +suspicious you find. + +There are still some tests failing. Most of those are +related to standards that are not being followed perfectly +just yet. Some of those will probably not be fixed before +Cowboy 2.0 is released. They are edge cases and should not +prevent interoperability. + +The manual received a lot of love. It now has one page per +function with a detailed description, arguments list, return +value, changelog and examples. It also links to the other +relevant manual pages: https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/manual/ + +Cowboy is now tested and supported with Erlang/OTP 19.0 or above +on Arch Linux, FreeBSD, OSX, Ubuntu and Windows 7. Contact me +if you can provide permanent access to another platform for the +purposes of testing. + +Cowboy is now available from four locations: + +* https://git.ninenines.eu/cowboy.git +* https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy.git +* https://bitbucket.org/ninenines/cowboy.git +* https://gitlab.com/ninenines/cowboy.git + +They are updated at the same time so there is no real difference. |
