What does "real-time" mean in terms of a web framework? As a web developer for over a decade, I don't recall seeing a web framework described with that before and have no idea how to interpret it.

Woho 8.0! I enjoy quickly writing simple web apps with Mojolicious::Lite in particular.

It is built on an ioloop and has a special emphasis on making websockets and other streaming communications easy.

It's "real-time web", which mostly means WebSockets these days. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web) But in the case of Mojolicious it is also used to highlight certain optimizations that make it very easy to use WebSockets and HTTP side by side in the same web application. https://mojolicious.org/perldoc/Mojolicious/Guides/Cookbook#...

Congrats on the release! I've used mojolicious for several of my personal projects and it's been wonderful.

@kraih I applaud your work ethic as the frequency of your commits and releases show you are dedicated to the project and keeping it moving forward. Thank you!

We are also heavily using it since 3.x. Thank you!

Any reasons for picking Cpanel::JSON::XS over JSON::XS? The latter has marginally better performance.

Yes, Cpanel::JSON::XS can be configured to be closer to the original Mojo::JSON behaviour. And the maintainer has historically been more cooperative with efforts to make Perl JSON modules compatible with each other.
