Just updated.

[DevotionGeo]

When is V-3 going to release?

[vishr]

Anyone up for updating the README.md for v3?

[paganotoni]

I could help but im out the city now, would it be ok starting next week?

[vishr]

@apaganobeleno Sure, also look into https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/667 PR.

[paganotoni]

@vishr just sent a PR (#698) that with #667 should cover most of the documentation update for v3, however i have a question regarding the benchmark, as you know it includes fasthttp comparison, should we add a different image that shows only v3 comparison ?

[vishr]

@apaganobeleno We will just have a benchmark chart based on Echo performance for various API set.

[vishr]

A new v2 release is cut from master branch and master now has v3, still not released yet but it makes it easier to develop on master.

[vishr]

@apaganobeleno I need help in updating the migrating guide and change log, please let me know if you are in. You can send me initial PR and we can take it from there.

PS: We will drop v1 mention from the migrating guide.

[paganotoni]

@vishr i'm in 👍

[vishr]

@apaganobeleno Update: we still need to retain v1 to v2 migration.

[vishr]

Thanks everyone!!!

It seems that fasthttp support was finally dropped, but Feature Overview in README still notes fasthttp:

Run with standard HTTP server or FastHTTP server

Echo v3 on go-echo/echo fork is NOT in sync with main repo.
