## The New oatpp::String

Now it's much easier to use `oatpp::String` since `oatpp::String` is now wrapper over `std::string`

```cpp
{
  std::string s1 = Hello;
  oatpp::String s2 = s1;
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::string s2 = *s1;
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  bool b = s1 == "Hello"; // compare s1 with const char*
  assert(b);
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::stringg s2 = "Hello";
  bool b = s1 == s2; // compare s1 with std::string
  assert(b);
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::string s2 = "World";

  oatpp::String s3 = s1 + " " + s2; // concat oatpp::String with const char* and std::string directly

  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "str='%s'", s3->c_str()); // prints 'Hello World'
}
```

## ConnectionPool::get() Timeout

[#408](https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp/issues/408)

```cpp
{

  auto connectionProvider = oatpp::network::tcp::client::ConnectionProvider::createShared({"httpbin.org", 80});

  auto pool = oatpp::network::ClientConnectionPool::createShared(connectionProvider,
                                                                 1,
                                                                 std::chrono::seconds(10),
                                                                 std::chrono::seconds(5));

  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "start")

  auto c1 = pool->get(); //<--- this one will succeed
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "c1=%llu", c1.get())

  auto c2 = pool->get(); //<--- this one will fail in 5 sec. Since Max-Resources is 1, Pool timeout is 5 sec. And c1 is not freed.
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "c2=%llu", c2.get())

}
```

Output:

```
 D |2021-08-04 01:32:56 1628029976986744| TEST:start
 D |2021-08-04 01:32:57 1628029977126940| TEST:c1=140716915331208
 D |2021-08-04 01:33:02 1628029982128324| TEST:c2=0
```

## JSON Serializer Escape Flags

[#381](https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp/issues/381)

Now you can control if solidus is escaped or not.

### Default Behavior

```cpp
  oatpp::parser::json::mapping::ObjectMapper mapper;
  // mapper.getSerializer()->getConfig()->escapeFlags = 0; // by default FLAG_ESCAPE_SOLIDUS is ON
  auto res = mapper.writeToString(oatpp::String("https://oatpp.io/"));
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "res='%s'", res->c_str());
```

Output:

```
res='"https:\/\/oatpp.io\/"' # by default, solidus is escaped
```

### Clear Escape Flags

```cpp
  oatpp::parser::json::mapping::ObjectMapper mapper;
  mapper.getSerializer()->getConfig()->escapeFlags = 0;
  auto res = mapper.writeToString(oatpp::String("https://oatpp.io/"));
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "res='%s'", res->c_str());
```

Output:

```
res='"https://oatpp.io/"' # solidus isn't escaped
```
