v3.0.0-alpha.1

Changelog

• The thread pool can now be resized at runtime.
• Server::start_threaded has been replaced with Server::workers to set the number of worker threads and the normal Server::start.
• Supply a context to all route handlers.
  The context contains a reference to the server, request, and acts as a response builder.
  Note: This also allows access to the thread_pool for both executing tasks and resizing it.
• Remove the stateful_route method, use normal routes with ctx.app() instead.
• You can now send responses before the route handler ends.
  This allows you to easily send a response and then do some work after the response is sent as to not block the client.
• Responses can be sent from other threads.
  You will have to notify the handler that you will be sending a response after the handler function returns with ctx.guarantee_will_send().
• Allow returning any error type from route handlers.
  This is done with a return type of Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>.
• Allow attaching extra context to an error with anyhow like functions: context, with_context, status, with_status, header, with_header.
• Remove StartupError::NoState error.
• Make ForceLockMutex, ForceLockRwLock, and SingleBarrier public through the internal::sync module.
  • The force lock traits are used to lock a Mutex or RwLock even if it is poisoned.
  • The SingleBarrier is used to have a thread wait until another thread unlocks the barrier.
    The difference from a normal Barrier is that it does not block on both sides, only the waiting side.
• Replace the TcpStream in Request with Socket, a wrapper struct.
  Its used to allow automatically the barrier with a response is sent.
  In the future it might also be used for optional TLS support.
• Move path parameters into Context and use a HashMap instead of a Vec.
• Parse the HTTP version into an enum instead of a string.
• Properly determine weather to use keep-alive or not.
  In HTTP/1.1 keep-alive is opt-out, but previous versions of afire assumed it was opt-in.
  Fixing this produced a 2x performance increase in the benchmarks I ran.
  Now, this is still only a ~500us improvement but hey.
• Filter CLRF characters from headers. This prevents a potential response splitting attack.
• Properly disallow HTTP/1.1 requests with no Host header.
• Added a new ResponseBody type of Empty.
• Added a current_thread function to the threadpool.
• Catch panics at the thread-pool level, not the route handler level.
  This will ensure that a worker will not die, even if internal afire code panics.

What's Changed

• Fix #46 by @Basicprogrammer10 in #47

v3.0.0-alpha.2

• Use an Arc instead of a Rc for HandleError::Panic
• Add with_response function on Context to overwrite the response.
• Finish implementing Websockets. 🎉
• Add chat app example application.
• Rename Server::start to Server::run to emphasize that it blocks.
• Pass Arguments to trace formatters instead of a String.
  This can be more efficient if the formatter decides not to format the trace.
• Attach a unique ID to each socket.
• Disallow forbidden headers as default headers.
• Rename extension module to extensions.
• Added a RouteShorthand extension.
  It allows you to use server.get(...) instead of server.route(Method::GET, ...).
• Added Redirect shorthand extension.
  It allows you to use ctx.redirect("...") instead of ctx.status(Status::Found).header(HeaderType::Location, "...").
• Rewrote the router to allow for more compacted routes.
  Parameters and wildcards no longer have to be separated by a slash, they can be separated by any literal.
  This was not implemented before because it it significantly more complicated to implement.
  Here are some examples of what you can do now:
  • /file/{name}.{ext}
  • /hello*world
• Internal url::decode will not hard fail in the case of invalid url encoded strings.
• Add PathNormalizer middleware that removes trailing and repeating slashes from paths.
• Optimize router. Benchmarking is kinda hard but I think this new router is faster even though it is significantly more flexible.
• Rename HeaderType to HeaderName as that is the correct name.
• Accept Into<Header> in Context::header and Response::header.
• Create 'header structs' that can be converted into a Header and simplify working with headers in responses.

What's Changed

• afire 2.2.0 by @Basicprogrammer10 in #45
• Fix #46 by @Basicprogrammer10 in #47

Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v3.0.0-alpha.2

v2.2.1

This is just a small patch release to fix a bug with streaming responses where interrupted type errors wouldn't be handled properly.
More information about this release at https://connorcode.com/writing/afire/update-8.

What's Changed

• Fix Support interrupted streams in response #46 by @Basicprogrammer10 in #47

Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.2.1

v2.2.0

More information about this release at https://connorcode.com/writing/afire/update-7.

Changelog

• Use binary search on ServeStatic MMIE types (save those clock cycles)
• Some optimizations throughout afire
• Logger can now make use of the RealIp extension and log the real ip of the client
• Logger now holds a persistent file handle instead of opening and closing it every time
• In ServeStatic, when paths have the '..', they will now go up a directory instead of being ignored
  Note: The highest you can can go is the data directory that you define, so there is no path traversal vulnerability
• Accept impl Into<HeaderType> in RequestId::new instead of just AsRef<str>.
  This allows for using HeaderTypes as well as strings to set the header.
• Add a HEAD middleware that adds support for the HTTP HEAD method.
• Update ServeStatic to send a Content-Length header when streaming a file.
• Build extension docs on docs.rs
• Add a TRACE middleware that adds support for the HTTP TRACE method.
• Add support for Server-Sent Events (SSE).
• Progress on Websocket support
