Cutelyst 0.2.0 is out!

Five months ago I announced the very first release of Cutelyst, a web framework powered by Qt 5. Time passes and I started shaping my real world applications written with it, I should probably release a newer version earlier but it’s not very nice to keep releasing API that changes a lot, however next version (0.3.0) will still contains API changes. What changed from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0:

  • I have setup a documentation website http://cutelyst.org
  • I started a WordPress like blog written with Cutelyst https://gitorious.org/cutelyst/untitled this right now is a nice example app, if you like it please help 🙂
  • Changed the API to expose the forked behavior thus being able to setup database connection in each new process avoiding a mess
  • UWSGI got a patch to deal with workers that don’t want to work, in other words when something on post-fork fails like reaching the dababase connection limit the worker can exit and won’t be restarted.
  • A bunch of bugfixed of course
  • Make use of categorized logging (ie qCDebug)
  • Allow for UWSGI to restart the application as soon as your application .so file changes, this greatly improve development speed 🙂
  • Encapsulated the post body into a QIODevice subclass on UWSGI engine this means a QFile is –post-buffering limit is reached, or a custom IODevice that deals with the request memory buffer
  • A parser to get uploaded content “multipart/form-data” which is fast and can work with lots of data

For the next version I’ll try to get a properQt loop integration. Download here Have fun!

  2. To be quite honest I didn’t fully understand what this project does, it’s true that I didn’t really take the time to look intro it but I’ve yet to see an example of what it can do.
    How does it compare to cppcms ? A few simple examples would be nice, at least a hello world.

      well take a look at the first blog about it. Yes, I need more docs, examples and all that, but time is short so I had no time yet to properly write tutorials, tho you can take a look at Perl’s Catalyst framework tutorials and have an idea.

      With the UWSGI plugin compiled and installed you can run your app like
      uwsgi –http-socket localhost:3000 –plugin cutelyst –cutelyst-app path_to_your_app.so

      if you would like to give a hand on this you would be more than welcome 🙂
