The guide is now in docs/guide. All other site assets are being migrated
to a separate repository.
The guide markup has been upgraded to take advantages of improvements in
the static site generator used to build the Rocket website.
This commit completely rewrites Rocket's HTTP serving. In addition to
significant internal cleanup, this commit introduces the following major
features:
* Support for custom, external listeners in the `listener` module.
The new `listener` module contains new `Bindable`, `Listener`, and
`Connection` traits which enable composable, external
implementations of connection listeners. Rocket can launch on any
`Listener`, or anything that can be used to create a listener
(`Bindable`), via a new `launch_on()` method.
* Support for Unix domain socket listeners out of the box.
The default listener backwards compatibly supports listening on Unix
domain sockets. To do so, configure an `address` of
`unix:path/to/socket` and optional set `reuse` to `true` (the
default) or `false` which controls whether Rocket will handle
creating and deleting the unix domain socket.
In addition to these new features, this commit makes the following major
improvements:
* Rocket now depends on hyper 1.
* Rocket no longer depends on hyper to handle connections. This allows
us to handle more connection failure conditions which results in an
overall more robust server with fewer dependencies.
* Logic to work around hyper's inability to reference incoming request
data in the response results in a 15% performance improvement.
* `Client`s can be marked secure with `Client::{un}tracked_secure()`,
allowing Rocket to treat local connections as running under TLS.
* The `macros` feature of `tokio` is no longer used by Rocket itself.
Dependencies can take advantage of this reduction in compile-time
cost by disabling the new default feature `tokio-macros`.
* A new `TlsConfig::validate()` method allows checking a TLS config.
* New `TlsConfig::{certs,key}_reader()`,
`MtlsConfig::ca_certs_reader()` methods return `BufReader`s, which
allow reading the configured certs and key directly.
* A new `NamedFile::open_with()` constructor allows specifying
`OpenOptions`.
These improvements resulted in the following breaking changes:
* The MSRV is now 1.74.
* `hyper` is no longer exported from `rocket::http`.
* `IoHandler::io` takes `Box<Self>` instead of `Pin<Box<Self>>`.
- Use `Box::into_pin(self)` to recover the previous type.
* `Response::upgrade()` now returns an `&mut dyn IoHandler`, not
`Pin<& mut _>`.
* `Config::{address,port,tls,mtls}` methods have been removed.
- Use methods on `Rocket::endpoint()` instead.
* `TlsConfig` was moved to `tls::TlsConfig`.
* `MutualTls` was renamed and moved to `mtls::MtlsConfig`.
* `ErrorKind::TlsBind` was removed.
* The second field of `ErrorKind::Shutdown` was removed.
* `{Local}Request::{set_}remote()` methods take/return an `Endpoint`.
* `Client::new()` was removed; it was previously deprecated.
Internally, the following major changes were made:
* A new `async_bound` attribute macro was introduced to allow setting
bounds on futures returned by `async fn`s in traits while
maintaining good docs.
* All utility functionality was moved to a new `util` module.
Resolves#2671.
Resolves#1070.
This is the async analog of 'rocket_sync_db_pools', rewritten to be
cleaner, leaner, easier to maintain and extend, and better documented.
Resolves#1117.
Resolves#1187.
This follows the completed graduation of stable contrib features into
core, removing 'rocket_contrib' in its entirety in favor of two new
crates. These crates are versioned independently of Rocket's core
libraries, allowing upgrades to dependencies without consideration for
versions in core libraries.
'rocket_dyn_templates' replaces the contrib 'templates' features. While
largely a 1-to-1 copy, it makes the following changes:
* the 'tera_templates' feature is now 'tera'
* the 'handlebars_templates' feature is now 'handlebars'
* fails to compile if neither 'tera' nor 'handlebars' is enabled
'rocket_sync_db_pools' replaces the contrib 'database' features. It
makes no changes to the replaced features except that the `database`
attribute is properly documented at the crate root.
