TL;DR Self-indulgent post about how I am finally going to kick Windows out the door.
The last couple of weeks have been rather strange. I've moved from a position of living with Windows in my day job to detesting every morselized key-stroke I have to make in our soul sapping co-existence. Let me make one thing clear about this post however, I'm not leaving .NET, but I am leaving Windows.
Massive thanks from Mark and I for the overwhelming support from contributors in this release. In case you missed it we also moved our TeamCity CI server to simpleci.org which boasts lots more power.
Exciting to see a flurry of activity on the Simple.Web repository including some awesome pull-requests. Managing these has however reminded me how hard it is the keep a clean commit history, and more so how important it is to clearly communicate your expectations to contributors.
In the 0.9 release of Simple.Web we announced improved support for running Simple.Web with an OWIN-compatible web-server, particular focus on compatibility with the upcoming release of Katana v2. We also introduced a new self-hosting package aimed at reducing boiler-plate code associated with bootstrapping.
