C++/Boost Asio based websocket client/server library

NOTE: this is a legacy release of the library

The 0.3.x version (Experimental branch) is the preferred release for all users and is scheduled to be merged into the master branch in the near future. All new development should start there.

There are a number of breaking API changes going from 0.2.x to 0.3.x. If you have an existing 0.2.x codebase that you are not ready to upgrade yet there is now a 0.2.x branch that will be maintained for that purpose.
