Fost 5 release 5.19.12.45093 now out

A very small release this time that just adds server verification to TLS/SSL connections. This is now enabled by default on the HTTP user agent.

Next time though there will be some libraries. Watch this space!

Building on Linux & Mac

You should install Boost development packages using your package manager or brew to safe you from having to build them.

git clone --branch=5.19.12.45093 --recursive git@github.com:hotkit/fost-hello.git
cd fost-hello
mkdir build.tmp
cd build.tmp
cmake -G Ninja .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../dist
ninja install/strip
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../dist/lib

On the Mac you will need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH before running hello

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=../dist/lib
../dist/bin/hello
