Status: To be discussed
Calling mg_init_library is recommended before calling mg_start.
Compatibility: Initially, mg_init_library will be called implicitly if it has not been called before mg_start. If mg_init_library was not called, mg_stop may leave memory leaks.
Calling mg_lock_connection is no longer called implicitly in mg_websocket_write functions. If you use websocket write functions them from two threads, you must call mg_lock_connection explicitly, just like for any other connection.
This is an API harmonization issue.
Compatibility: If a websocket connection was used in only one thread, there is no incompatibility. If a websocket connection was used in multiple threads, the user has to add the mg_lock_connection before and the mg_unlock_connection after the websocket write call.
This member is going to be removed. It is superseeded by mg_add_request_handler.
Compatibility: Current code using open_file needs to be changed. Instructions how to do this will be provided.
Calling mg_init_library is required before calling any client function. In particular, the TLS initialization must be done before using mg_connect_client_secure.
Compatibility: Some parts of the client interface did not work, if mg_start was not called before. Now server and client become independent.
mg_connect_client needs several new parameters (options).
Details are to be defined.
mg_connect_client and mg_download should return a different kind of mg_connection than used in server callbacks. At least, there should be a function mg_get_response_info, instead of using mg_get_request_info, and getting the HTTP response code from the server by looking into the uri member of struct mg_request_info.
size_t in all interfaceHaving size_t in interfaces while building for 32 and 64 bit complicates maintenance in an unnecessary way (see 498).
Replace all data sizes by 64 bit integers.
The current definition of pattern matching is problematic (see 499).
Find and implement a new definition.
