New: application server, cloud-support, spell-checking and more!

We improved Quino's application-server and cloud support with the 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 releases.

The improvements to application-server and cloud support are:

• We added a binary payload format that is much more efficient to improve performance when running against a Quino application server
• The API for metadata-based methods has been improved and integrated with the service locator
• The new data-driver architecture allows for much more aggressive client-side caching to avoid performance-killing round-trips for data that rarely changes

In addition to application-server and cloud support, the latest version of Quino also provides improved support for:

• Integrated spell-checking support for Winform applications, which allows for application- and client-configurable Open-Office-based dictionaries
• Metadata/model-based applications using ASP.NET MVC (work-in-progress but coming along nicely)
• Many improvements to integration of reports and printing for Winform applications
• VS2012-compatible and tested

See the 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 release notes for all the details!
