Express 3.0是一个维护版本，针对2.x版修复了很多问题，并加入了很多新功能。

在使用Express框架时，要记住，Express框架是帮助开发者快速实现HTTP通信相关的功能，而不是成为像Rails那样功能强大、全面的框架。

Connect 2.x

Changes introduced by Connect 2.x:

added err.status support to Connect’s default end-point
added session() “proxy” setting to trust “X-Forwarded-Proto”
added cookieSession() middleware
added compress() middleware for gzipped responses
added multipart() middleware
added json() middleware
added urlencoded() middleware
added limit option to the three above middleware
added defer option to multipart() to listen on formidable’s events
added debug() instrumentation to aid in debugging
changed basicAuth()’s req.remoteUser to req.user
changed session() to only set-cookie on modification (hashed session json)
changed bodyParser() to be an aggregate of json(), multipart() and urlencoded()
moved many cookie-related utils into npm
moved static()’s logic into a separate npm module named “send”
increase perf ~%20 by memoizing url parsing
removed router() middleware
fixed default encoding for logger(), now “utf8” instead of “ascii”
fixed mount-path case-sensitivity

Connect docs are available at http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/, and will eventually be mirrored on expressjs.com as well for convenience, along with usage guides.
