The new release switches to vibe-core by default* and compiles on the freshly released DMD 2.079.0. It needs to be used together with the latest vibe-core pre-release, because instead of std.experimental.allocator, which is still undergoing frequent API changes, the forked semi-stable variant stdx.allocator is being used, and both libraries need to match up in that regard. This version contains a fix in URLRouter that can heavily reduce the memory usage of processes that define many routes.

* It's still possible to use the old core implementation by choosing a different configuration for vibe-d:core:

dub.sdl: 

dependency "vibe-d:core" version="~>0.8.3-rc.1"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "libevent"

dub.json: 

"dependencies": {
  ...
  "vibe-d:core": "~>0.8.1-rc.1"
},
"subConfigurations": {
  "vibe-d:core": "libevent"
}

Works smooth so far. I gave a couple of vibe.d projects a quick spin and most fo them seem to be working. Is there a documentation what changes csn be expected from this new core driver? Are there benchmarks with a comparison to the existing implementation?
