• All active routes can be retrieved via Rocket::routes().

Breaking Changes

This release includes many breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications.

• session_key was renamed to secret_key, requires a 256-bit base64 key

  It's unlikely that session_key was previously used. If it was, rename session_key to secret_key. Generate a random 256-bit base64 key using a tool like openssl: openssl rand -base64 32.

• The &Cookies request guard has been removed in favor of Cookies

  Change &Cookies in a request guard position to Cookies.

• Rocket::launch() now returns a LaunchError, doesn't panic.

  For the old behavior, suffix a call to .launch() with a semicolon: .launch();.

• Routes without query parameters match requests with or without query parameters.

  There is no workaround, but this change may allow manual ranks from routes to be removed.

• The format route attribute on non-payload requests matches against the Accept header.

  Excepting a custom request guard, there is no workaround. Previously, format always matched against the Content-Type header, regardless of whether the request method indicated a payload or not.

• A type of &str can no longer be used in form structures or parameters.

  Use the new &RawStr type instead.

• ContentType is no longer a request guard.

  Use &ContentType instead.

• Request::content_type() returns &ContentType instead of ContentType.

  Use .clone() on &ContentType if a type of ContentType is required.

• Response::header_values() was removed. Response::headers() now returns an &HeaderMap.

  A call to Response::headers() can be replaced with Response::headers().iter(). A call to Response::header_values(name) can be replaced with Response::headers().get(name).

• Route collisions result in a hard error and panic.

  There is no workaround. Previously, route collisions were a warning.

• The IntoOutcome trait has been expanded and made more flexible.

  There is no workaround. IntoOutcome::into_outcome() now takes a Failure value to use. IntoOutcome::or_forward() was added to return a Forward outcome if self indicates an error.

• The 'testing' feature was removed.

  Remove features = ["testing"] from Cargo.toml. Use the new local module for testing.

• serde was updated to 1.0.

  There is no workaround. Ensure all dependencies rely on serde 1.0.

• config::active() was removed.

  Use Rocket::config() to retrieve the configuration before launch. If needed, use managed state to store config information for later use.

• The Responder trait has changed.

  Responder::respond(self) was removed in favor of Responder::respond_to(self, &Request). Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming request.

• Outcome::of(Responder) was removed while Outcome::from(&Request, Responder) was added.

  Use Outcome::from(..) instead of Outcome::of(..).

• Usage of templates requires Template::fairing() to be attached.

  Call .attach(Template::fairing()) on the application's Rocket instance before launching.

• The Display implementation of Template was removed.

  Use Template::show() to render a template directly.

• Request::new() is no longer exported.

  There is no workaround.

• The FromForm trait has changed.

  Responder::from_form_items(&mut FormItems) was removed in favor of Responder::from_form(&mut FormItems, bool). The second parameter indicates whether parsing should be strict (if true) or lenient (if false).

• LoggingLevel was removed as a root reexport.

  It can now be imported from rocket::config::LoggingLevel.

• An Io variant was added to ConfigError.

  Ensure matches on ConfigError include an Io variant.

• ContentType::from_extension() returns an Option<ContentType>.

  For the old behvavior, use .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any).

• The IntoValue config trait was removed in favor of Into<Value>.

  There is no workaround. Use Into<Value> as necessary.

• The rocket_contrib::JSON type has been renamed to rocket_contrib::Json.

  Use Json instead of JSON.

• All structs in the content module use TitleCase names.

  Use Json, Xml, Html, and Css instead of JSON, XML, HTML, and CSS, respectively.

General Improvements

In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:

• "Rocket" is now capatilized in the Server HTTP header.
• The generic parameter of rocket_contrib::Json defaults to json::Value.

Breaking Changes

This release includes several breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications.

• Rocket::custom takes two parameters, the first being Config by value.

  A call in v0.1 of the form Rocket::custom(&config) is now Rocket::custom(config, false).

• Tera templates are named without their extension.

  A templated named name.html.tera is now simply name.

• JSON unwrap method has been renamed to into_inner.

  A call to .unwrap() should be changed to .into_inner().

• The map! macro was removed in favor of the json! macro.

  A call of the form map!{ "a" => b } can be written as: json!({ "a": b }).

• The hyper::SetCookie header is no longer exported.

  Use the Cookie type as an Into<Header> type directly.

• The Content-Type for String is now text/plain.

  Use content::HTML<String> for HTML-based String responses.

• Request.content_type() returns an Option<ContentType>.

  Use .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any) to get the old behavior.

• The ContentType request guard forwards when the request has no Content-Type header.

  Use an Option<ContentType> and .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any) for the old behavior.

• A Rocket instance must be declared before a MockRequest.

  Change the order of the rocket::ignite() and MockRequest::new() calls.

• A route with format specified only matches requests with the same format.

  Previously, a route with a format would match requests without a format specified. There is no workaround to this change; simply specify formats when required.

• FormItems can no longer be constructed directly.

  Instead of constructing as FormItems(string), construct as FormItems::from(string).

• from_from_string(&str) in FromForm removed in favor of from_form_items(&mut FormItems).

  Most implementation should be using FormItems internally; simply use the passed in FormItems. In other cases, the form string can be retrieved via the inner_str method of FormItems.

• Config::{set, default_for} are deprecated.

  Use the set_{param} methods instead of set, and new or build in place of default_for.

• Route paths must be absolute.

  Prepend a / to convert a relative path into an absolute one.

• Route paths cannot contain empty segments.

  Remove any empty segments, including trailing ones, from a route path.

Bug Fixes

A couple of bugs were fixed in this release:

• Handlebars partials were not properly registered (#122).
• Rocket::custom did not set the custom configuration as the active configuration.
