Due to tokio-rs/tokio#4780, a panicking top-level future combined with
an uncooperative background task prevents runtime shutdown. To avoid
this in the case of `Rocket::launch()` returning an `Error`, which
panics on drop if it isn't inspected, we return the `Result` to the
caller (i.e., `main`) instead of the `block_on` future. This prevent the
panic from occuring inside of the `block_on` future and so the runtime
terminates even with uncooperative I/O.
The core improvement is that `Rocket::launch()` now resolves to
`Ok(Rocket<Ignite>)` on nominal shutdown. Furthermore, shutdown never
terminates the running process.
Other changes directly related to shutdown:
* Runtime worker thread names are now irrelevant to graceful shutdown.
* `ErrorKind::Runtime` was removed; `ErrorKind::Shutdown` was added.
* The `force` config value is only read from the default provider.
* If `force`, Rocket's constructed async runtime is terminated.
Other related changes:
* The exported `hyper` module docs properly reflect public re-exports.
This commit implements a workaround for an [issue within rustc]. The
problem showed itself when using e.g. a `Vec<&str>` argument in an async
route handler (but not `&str`), which resulted in a "implementation of
`FromForm` is not general enough" error. The workaround itself works by
gathering all invocations of `FromForm`'s methods inside a block without
any `.await` points [ref].

The 'FromFrom' derive now allows type generics in all positions using
the same automatic discovery technique as with 'Responder'. (In fact,
the technique was created for this derive.) Furthermore, 'FromForm' can
now be derived for unit structs.
Also adds a new 'try_with' form field validator.
Resolves#1695.
This commit presents and applies a new technique for bounding type
generics in derives. In short, for a generic `T` used in a field type of
`Field<T>`, where an eventual bound of `Responder` required, the derive
generates a bound of `Field<T>: Responder`. This removes the need for
any manually provided bounds while simultaneously allowing more
structures to typecheck. For example, generics in header components are
now fully supported.
The syntax 'TypedStream![T + '_]' expands to:
impl TypedStream<Item = T> + '_
This allows seamlessly borrowing in typed streams.
Also adds 'Event::empty()', for convenience.
Previously, recursion into rewriting 'self' in field validations would
cease after the first function call. This meant that internal uses of
'self' were not properly rewritten. This commit ameliorates the
situation.
This allows responses to be sent to the client even when data is only
partially read, significantly improving the experience for the client
from one with a "connection closed" error to one with a proper response.
The consequence is a lifetime in 'Data'.
Though other non-lifetime-introducing solutions exist, the introduction
of a lifetime to 'Data' is a longstanding desire as it prevents
smuggling 'Data' into a longer-lived context. Use of 'Data' in that
context was unspecified with various runtime consequences. The addition
of a lifetime bound by the request prevents this error statically.
In summary, the changes are:
* Clients receive responses even when data isn't fully read.
* 'Data' becomes 'Data<'r>'. 'FromData' changes accordingly.
* Route 'Outcome's are strictly tied to the request lifetime.
Tangentially, the invalid length form field validation error message has
improved to format length in byte units if it exceeds 1024.
This resolves syntax ambiguity issues with public typed-stream macros.
Prior to this commit, greedy single-token matching by macro-rules macros
would result in certain tokens at the beginning of the macro input, such
as 'for', inadvertently triggering a '$ty' matching case resulting in
incorrect expansion.
This commit entirely rewrites Rocket's URI parsing routines and
overhauls the 'uri!' macro resolving all known issues and removing any
potential limitations for compile-time URI creation. This commit:
* Introduces a new 'Reference' URI variant for URI-references.
* Modifies 'Redirect' to accept 'TryFrom<Reference>'.
* Introduces a new 'Asterisk' URI variant for parity.
* Allows creation of any URI type from a string literal via 'uri!'.
* Enables dynamic/static prefixing/suffixing of route URIs in 'uri!'.
* Unifies 'Segments' and 'QuerySegments' into one generic 'Segments'.
* Consolidates URI formatting types/traits into a 'uri::fmt' module.
* Makes APIs more symmetric across URI types.
It also includes the following less-relevant changes:
* Implements 'FromParam' for a single-segment 'PathBuf'.
* Adds 'FileName::is_safe()'.
* No longer reparses upstream request URIs.

This removes the export of each of these macros from the root, limiting
their export-scope to their respective module. This is accomplished
using a new internal macro, 'export!', which does some "magic" to work
around rustdoc deficiencies.
Changes codegen to use an instance method on the route proxy struct
rather than implementing a trait on the proxy struct. This helps rustc
identify unused routes.
Resolves#1598.
This commit includes changes that improve how and what Rocket logs
automatically. Rocket now logs:
* All guard errors, indicating the failing guard kind and type.
* A warning when a 'TempFile' is used as a data guard for a request
that specifies a 'form' Content-Type.
* Only the top/sub of a request's format.
This commit makes the following breaking changes:
* '<T as FromData>::Error' must implement 'Debug'.
Furthermore, this commit restores the previous behavior of always
logging launch info. It further restores the unspecified behavior of
modifying logging state only when the set logger is Rocket's logger.
Sentinels resolve a long-standing usability and functional correctness
issue in Rocket: starting an application with guards and/or responders
that depend on state that isn't available. The canonical example is the
'State' guard. Prior to this commit, an application with routes that
queried unmanaged state via 'State' would fail at runtime. With this
commit, the application refuses to launch with a detailed error message.
The 'Sentinel' docs explains it as:
A sentinel, automatically run on ignition, can trigger a launch
abort should an instance fail to meet arbitrary conditions. Every
type that appears in a mounted route's type signature is eligible to
be a sentinel. Of these, those that implement 'Sentinel' have their
'abort()' method invoked automatically, immediately after ignition,
once for each unique type. Sentinels inspect the finalized instance
of 'Rocket' and can trigger a launch abort by returning 'true'.
The following types are now sentinels:
* 'contrib::databases::Connection' (any '#[database]' type)
* 'contrib::templates::Metadata'
* 'contrib::templates::Template'
* 'core::State'
The following are "specialized" sentinels, which allow sentinel
discovery even through type aliases:
* 'Option<T>', 'Debug<T>' if 'T: Sentinel'
* 'Result<T, E>', 'Either<T, E>' if 'T: Sentinel', 'E: Sentinel'
Closes#464.
The core 'Rocket' type is parameterized: 'Rocket<P: Phase>', where
'Phase' is a newly introduced, sealed marker trait. The trait is
implemented by three new marker types representing the three launch
phases: 'Build', 'Ignite', and 'Orbit'. Progression through these three
phases, in order, is enforced, as are the invariants guaranteed by each
phase. In particular, an instance of 'Rocket' is guaranteed to be in its
final configuration after the 'Build' phase and represent a running
local or public server in the 'Orbit' phase. The 'Ignite' phase serves
as an intermediate, enabling inspection of a finalized but stationary
instance. Transition between phases validates the invariants required
by the transition.
All APIs have been adjusted appropriately, requiring either an instance
of 'Rocket' in a particular phase ('Rocket<Build>', 'Rocket<Ignite>', or
'Rocket<Orbit>') or operating generically on a 'Rocket<P>'.
Documentation is also updated and substantially improved to mention
required and guaranteed invariants.
Additionally, this commit makes the following relevant changes:
* 'Rocket::ignite()' is now a public interface.
* 'Rocket::{build,custom}' methods can no longer panic.
* 'Launch' fairings are now 'ignite' fairings.
* 'Liftoff' fairings are always run, even in local mode.
* All 'ignite' fairings run concurrently at ignition.
* Launch logging occurs on launch, not any point prior.
* Launch log messages have improved formatting.
* A new launch error kind, 'Config', was added.
* A 'fairing::Result' type alias was introduced.
* 'Shutdown::shutdown()' is now 'Shutdown::notify()'.
Some internal changes were also introduced:
* Fairing 'Info' name for 'Templates' is now 'Templating'.
* Shutdown is implemented using 'tokio::sync::Notify'.
* 'Client::debug()' is used nearly universally in tests.
Resolves#1154.
Resolves#1136.
...because loading up a Rocket while it's ignited is a bad idea.
More seriously, because 'Rocket.ignite()' will become an "execute
everything up to here" method.
In particular, 'FromFormField' and 'UriDisplayQuery' now allow any
number of form 'field' attributes. For the former, multiple 'value's are
allowed, all of which are used to match against incoming fields - any
match wins. For the latter, multiple 'name' and 'value's are allowed;
the first of each is used to render the query value.
Additionally, 'UriDisplayQuery' can now be derived for C-like enums.
This brings the derive to parity with 'FromFormValue' and allows their
unified application on C-like enums.
Resolves#843.
