The Brook team is glad to announce the release 3.0.0.

This version was compiled and tested successfully with Free Pascal 2.6.4. Here is the list of changes between version 2.6.4 and 3.0.0 of the Brook:

https://github.com/silvioprog/brookframework/compare/57f8e01868dbec9708129bc789940df2a93c1637...v3.0.0 (or
short URL here:http://goo.gl/kr9oX0)

The release is available for download on Github:

https://github.com/silvioprog/brookframework/releases/tag/v3.0.0

Or through the "Latest Release" button on the project home page:

http://silvioprog.github.io/brookframework/

Minimum requirements:

Free Pascal 2.6.4. If you prefer the Lazarus interface, choose the 1.2.2 version.

Enjoy!

Is there a description what Brook can do and what it not can do?

Is a webserver for example Apache needed for it?

Or can it run standalone?

See "Get started" on home page:

Of course I did find this already by checking your initial post.

But this did not help much for finding out what kinds of tasks the "brook" is really useful for.

Developing any web based application.

That would mean all other web frameworks are not worth looking at.

I suppose each of them should provide a feature / benefit list so that a user is enabled to decide which of them is most appropriate for his task.

-Michael

Is an additional program required, for example Apache? Or does it run without any additional programs?

To my knowledge, there are none in FPC/Lazarus.

That is true, but is often omitted in young Open Source projects.

There are examples showing some features. But documents about this would be welcome. You can contribute writing documents. I did not because my English is still not fluent.

Both approaches should be possible.

Brook (last I looked) is based on fcl-web, which means you can embed it in a cgi, fastcgi, apache module or standalone application that acts as a webserver.

Rather often, a decent place to publish such a list is missing. Here obviously a decent website is provided

For a start, some 20 Lines of text would already be helpful.

You can run Brook in four modes:

. CGI (with any HTTP server like Apache, nginx etc.);
. FastCGI (with any HTTP server like);
. Stand alone (with embedded server);
. Stand alone service/daemon (with embedded daemon server).

I at least know fpWeb to be an active project (ExtPascal seems to be dead)

What might be usable:

-Michael

AFAIK, FCGI can work via TCP/IP (on the same or on another box) and via other means (Pipes, environment variables ????), when being started by the Web server. Is this relevant for Brook ?

Can Brook be started as an Apache module ?

Can Brook be used as an ISAPI dll by MS IIS ?

I see the problem.

I can only understand German and English :-(

2014-05-14 11:40 GMT-03:00 Michael Schnell :

You can use Brook without problems too, it is made with FCLWeb.

2014-05-14 11:46 GMT-03:00 Michael Schnell :

Well, you can learn (via demos, issues, lists etc.) about the project and write about it. :)

No.

Can Brook be started as an Apache module ?

Yes.

Can Brook be used as an ISAPI dll by MS IIS ?

No.

Michael.

Unless I missed somthing, fpWeb is fcl-web.

Brook runs on top of fcl-web. It extends fcl-web.

What might be usable: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3793112/what-web-application-framework-for-delphi-is-recommended

Of these, ExtPascal is dead, Raudus support is flaky, and only Habari is actually expected to run with FPC/Lazarus.

Unless something changed significantly since I last looked, obviously.

Michael.

So we already do have some Information very worth stating on the website :-)

-Michael

Right now I am just a potential user....(or in fact just collecting information about a lot of stuff to provide to potential user in the company)

As we say here in Brazil: "Show de bola!" = "Awesome!" :)

Feel free to change any file of website, README etc.! (Y)

Seems good add a page "Why use Brook?" like:
http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?page=whyuse

[...]

Added an issue: https://github.com/silvioprog/brookframework/issues/99

Thank a lot friends!
