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.
• Responders are now final: they cannot forward to other requests.
• Responsers 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
