-----
+0.8.0
+-----
* This release drops R14 compatibility
+ Behaviours now use the -callback attribute which is supported only
+ since R15B.
+
+ * Add a user guide
+
+ * Add or update many examples
+
+ Add basic_auth, compress_response, cookie, elixir_hello_world,
+ markdown_middleware, rest_pastebin, rest_stream_response
+ and websocket examples.
+
+ Rename the static example to static_world for clarity.
+
* Add CONTRIBUTING.md file
- * Use Ranch for connection handling
+ * Use Ranch 0.6.1 for connection handling
To start listeners you can now use cowboy:start_http/4 for HTTP,
and cowboy:start_https/4 for HTTPS. The proper transport and
protocol modules will be used.
- * Add a dependency on crypto
+ * Add protection against slowloris vulnerability
+
+ This protection is always enabled and has no impact on the performance
+ of the system.
+
+ * Add a better routing syntax
+
+ * If a binding is used twice in routing, values must now be identical
+
+ * Add support for a configurable chain of middlewares
+
+ Routing and handling are now two separate middlewares that can be
+ replaced as needed.
+
+ * Fix application dependencies
+
+ The crypto application must be started before Cowboy.
- * Remove implicit dependency on inets
+ The inets application is no longer needed. A few functions from
+ that application were used by mistake in the REST code.
* Shorten the name of many modules
* cowboy_http_protocol becomes cowboy_protocol
