Rocket/CHANGELOG.md

# Version 0.0.11 (Dec 11, 2016)

## Streaming Requests

All incoming request data is now streamed. This resulted in a major change to
the Rocket APIs. They are summarized through the following API changes:

  * The `form` route parameter has been removed.
  * The `data` route parameter has been introduced.
  * Forms are now handled via the `data` parameter and `Form` type.
  * Removed the `data` parameter from `Request`.
  * Added `FromData` conversion trait and default implementation.
  * `FromData` is used to automatically derive the `data` parameter.
  * `Responder`s are now final: they cannot forward to other requests.
  * `Responser`s may only forward to catchers.

## Breaking

  * Request `uri` parameter is private. Use `uri()` method instead.
  * `form` module moved under `request` module.
  * `response::data` was renamed to `response::content`.
  * Introduced `Outcome` with `Success`, `Failure`, and `Forward` variants.
  * `outcome` module moved to top-level.
  * `Response` is now a type alias to `Outcome`.
  * `Empty` `Responder` was removed.
  * `StatusResponder` removed in favor of `response::status` module.

## Codegen

  * Error handlers can now take 0, 1, or 2 parameters.
  * `FromForm` derive now works on empty structs.
  * Lifetimes are now properly stripped in code generation.
  * Any valid ident is now allowed in single-parameter route parameters.

## Core

  * Route is now cloneable.
  * `Request` no longer has any lifetime parameters.
  * `Handler` type now includes a `Data` parameter.
  * `http` module is public.
  * `Responder` implemented for `()` type as an empty response.
  * Add `config::get()` for global config access.
  * Introduced `testing` module.
  * `Rocket.toml` allows global configuration via `[global]` table.

## Docs

  * Added a `raw_upload` example.
  * Added a `pastebin` example.
  * Documented all public APIs.

## Testing

  * Now building and running tests with `--all-features` flag.
  * Added appveyor config for Windows CI testing.

# Version 0.0.10 (Oct 03, 2016)

## Breaking

  * Remove `Rocket::new` in favor of `ignite` method.
  * Remove `Rocket::mount_and_launch` in favor of chaining `mount(..).launch()`.
  * `mount` and `catch` take `Rocket` type by value.
  * All types related to HTTP have been moved into `http` module.
  * `Template::render` in `contrib` now takes context by reference.

## Core

  * Rocket now parses option `Rocket.toml` for configuration, defaulting to sane
    values.
  * `ROCKET_ENV` environment variable can be used to specify running environment.

## Docs

  * Document `ContentType`.
  * Document `Request`.
  * Add script that builds docs.

## Testing

  * Scripts can now be run from any directory.
  * Cache Cargo directories in Travis for faster testing.
  * Check that library version numbers match in testing script.

# Version 0.0.9 (Sep 29, 2016)

## Breaking

  * Rename `response::data_type` to `response::data`.

## Core

  * Rocket interprets `_method` field in forms as the incoming request's method.
  * Add `Outcome::Bad` to signify responses that failed internally.
  * Add a `NamedFile` `Responder` type that uses a file's extension for the
    response's content type.
  * Add a `Stream` `Responder` for streaming responses.

## Contrib

  * Introduce the `contrib` crate.
  * Add JSON support via `JSON`, which implements `FromRequest` and `Responder`.
  * Add templating support via `Template` which implements `Responder`.

## Docs

  * Initial guide-like documentation.
  * Add documentation, testing, and contributing sections to README.

## Testing

  * Add a significant number of codegen tests.
