The following is a list of major new or updated features in Roxen WebServer 3.3.

• Added support for enabling networking in the internal MySQL server. Enabling is done by setting the environment variable "ROXEN_MYSQL_TCP_PORT", and optionally also the environment variable "MYSQL_HOST" (defaults to 127.0.0.1).
• Added support for local/environment.ini on Windows which may contain default command line arguments and a list of environment variables to set before starting Roxen.

• New variable to toggle font oversampling.
• Limit subrequests variable to protect from infinite insertion loops.
• New configuration action: Debug summary
• Improved 'Resolve path' wizard.
• Read only mode for configuration users now available on the DBs tab.
• It's now possible to delete DB groups.

• Added a new scope "header" which is the same mapping as RXML_CONTEXT->misc[" _extra_heads"].
• Fixed the buggy handling of unset variables and variables with the integer value 0, unless we're in 2.2 compatibility mode. This change is incompatible in the following two notable cases:
  • <if variable="form.foo is "> is true in 2.2 when form.foo is unset. It's false both in earlier releases and as of now in 3.3.
  • <if variable="var.foo"> is false in 2.2 when var.foo has the integer value 0. In earlier releases and as of now in 3.3 it's always true when the variable has a value at all.

• Implemented handling of cache static tags to improve caching; see documentation of FLAG_IS_CACHE_STATIC for details.
• Improved handling of dates in <vform> making it possible to verify dates on other formats than ISO.
• Added attribute "expr-cache" for overriding cache timeout in <if> plugin expressions.
• Added scope argument to <contents> so that it can be associated with some other than the innermost surrounding <define>.

• Java Web Application Bridge module
  An interface to Java Servlets.
  

• Fixed a way to conveniently inherit Roxen modules: inherit "roxen-module://some_module";
• SloppyDOM parser.
• License framework (not used in WebServer).
