v0.3+2 hotfix

My apologies for releasing another version so soon. This release fixes the following:

• Bug disabling crow static folder makes all routes inaccessible #163

v0.3+1 hotfix

quick patch fixing 1 issue:

• Bug http_response: fix move assign operator not moving file_info. @luca-schlecker #157

v0.3 - Big Bird

This version feels almost mature enough to where I would call it v1.0. But due to lack of production environment testing, it will stay v0.3

I'm hoping to be able to add hotfixes for any bugs unseen or necessary fixes.
