Here is a summary of the changes included in this release:
Websockets Beta on non-Windows store platforms:
We now have initial beta implementation of websockets on all platforms: Linux, OS X, iOS, Windows Desktop.
This library is written on top of Websocketpp, which uses boost. Hence you will need the Boost packages to build the C++ REST SDK on Windows. The "How to setup, build, and run tests on Windows" page describes how to fetch the Boost dependencies.
Windows Phone 8.1 support:
Windows Phone 8.1 binaries will be shipped with our NuGet Package.
Additional features:
Going forward, we will be doing all development publicly on CodePlex. This implies:
