v1.2.0

Release Notes

The following is a list of the major aspects of this release:

• Adding support for HTTPS for the Linux version of the library
• Adding experimental support for Windows XP (client features only)
• Some performance improvements, especially JSON parsing
• Added size() and has_size() to stream buffers
• Side-by-side installation with v1.1
• As always, bug fixes

We are labeling this release 'Beta' since there are features that are still experimental, i.e. haven't been tested in depth:

• Windows Phone 8
• Windows XP client features
• http_listener

Note on Visual Studio 2010 support

Our plan is to make this the last release that supports Visual Studio 2010. We're planning to add support for Visual Studio 2013 in the next release. However, if VS 2010 is still important to you, let us know: https://casablanca.codeplex.com/discussions
