After a long journey - it took over eight months - the new core package
is finally ready. Along with it, version 0.8.0 of vibe.d is released.
This marks a major milestone in vibe.d's development.
Apart from offering support for using the new core package, 0.8.0 now
also employs @safe and nothrow where possible, making it possible to
write fully @safe vibe.d applications. And of course, as always, there
is also a long list of other improvements and bug fixes.
The core package can be considered as a complete rewrite of the original
vibe-d:core package, retaining a mostly backwards compatible API from a
library user's point of view. Lots of changes went into modernizing the
code and removing inherent performance limits of the previous design*.
See the dedicated blog post for a basic explanation of the changes:

The change log for vibe.d 0.8.0 is listed here:

Finally, to make use of the vibe-core module, which is highly
recommended outside of critical production systems, you'll have to
manually enable it in the package recipe of your project:
- dub.sdl:
dependency "vibe-d:core" version="~>0.8.0"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "vibe-core"
- dub.json:
{
...
"dependencies" : {
...
"vibe-d:core": "~>0.8.0"
},
"subConfigurations": {
...
"vibe-d:core": "vibe-core"
}
}
DUB packages:
https://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-d/0.8.0
https://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-core/1.0.0
* Note that no dedicated performance tuning has been done yet, so
performance levels are expected to still be on a similar level.
