Cutelyst 1.8.0 released

Cutelyst the Qt Web Framework, has another stable release, this release is mostly filled with bug fixes, the commit log is rather small.

It got fixes on Cutelyst-WSGI to properly work on Windows, QtCreator integration fixes, properly installing dll's on Windows, fix returning the right status from views (this allows you to know if for example View::Email sent the email with success).

Cutelyst is cross-platform, the code builds on CI running on Windows, OSX and Linux, but first class is still UNIX systems, as I don't use Windows, nor have a VM with development configured so I have only ensured it build fine on AppVeyor, Aurel Branzeanu provided some pull requests to improve that, if you also happen to have experience with CMake, MSVC and Windows please help me review or do other pull requests.

The release also got two API additions:

  • Context::setStash(QString, ParamsMultiMap), ParamsMultiMap also known as QMap<QString, QString> is a type used on HTTP query and body parameters, having this method avoid writing ugly code full of QVariant::fromValue()
  • Application::pathTo(QString), instead of using the QStringList version which join the strings to build a path (like the Catalyst does), this just gets the string as you would pass to a QFile, that in turn deals with platform issues.

I'm a bit busy with html-qt and also planning a rewrite of simplemail-qt to be async, so expect smaller Cutelyst releases :)

Again help is welcome (specially on Windows usage).
