* Trailing slashes are now allowed in all normalized URI paths, except
for route attribute URIs: `/foo/` is considered normalized.
* Query parts of URIs may now be empty: `/foo?` and `/foo/?` are now
considered normalized.
* The `base` field of `Catcher` is now only accessible via a new
getter method: `Catcher::base()`.
* `RawStr::split()` returns a `DoubleEndedIterator`.
* Introduced a second normalization for `Origin`, "nontrailing", and
associated methods: `Origin::normalize_nontrailing()`, and
`Origin::is_normalized_nontrailing()`.
* Added `Origin::has_trailing_slash()`.
* The `Segments<Path>` iterator will now return an empty string if
there is a trailing slash in the referenced path.
* `Segments::len()` is now `Segments::num()`.
* Added `RawStr::trim()`.
Resolves#2512.
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.
The new benchmarks use routes from real-world project. This is much more
realistic than the previous benchmarks.
The new benchmarks use `criterion` and exist in their own Cargo project.
