A +variety of new features, fixes and improvements have +also been worked on. + +=== Features added + +* Add option `linger_timeout` to control how long + Cowboy will wait before closing the socket when + shutting down the connection. This helps avoid + the TCP reset problem HTTP/1.1 suffers from. The + default is now 1000 ms. + +* It is now possible to stream a response body + without using chunked transfer-encoding when the + protocol is HTTP/1.1. To enable this behavior, + simply pass the content-length header with the + expected size when initiating the streamed response. + +* Update Ranch to 1.6.1 + +* Update Cowlib to 2.5.1 + +=== Experimental features added + +* Websocket handlers now feature a commands-based interface. + The return value from the callbacks can now take the form + `{Commands, State}` where `Commands` can be frames to be + sent or commands yet to be introduced. New commands will + be available only through this new interface. + +* Add the protocol option `logger` that allows configuring + which logger module will be used. The logger module must + follow the interface of the new `logger` module in Erlang/OTP 21, + or be set to `error_logger` to keep the old behavior. A + similar transport option exists in Ranch 1.6; both options + are necessary to override Cowboy's default behavior completely. + +* Add the `{log, Level, Format, Args}` stream handler command. + Making it a command rather than a direct call will simplify + silencing particular log messages. + +=== New functions + +* The function `cowboy_req:stream_events/3` streams one or more + text/event-stream events, encoding them automatically. + +* The functions `cowboy_req:read_and_match_urlencoded_body/2,3` + can be used to read, parse and match application/x-www-form-urlencoded + request bodies, in a similar way to `cowboy_req:match_qs/2`. + +=== Bugs fixed + +* Fix Erlang/OTP 21 warnings. + +* Ensure that the port number is always defined in the + Req object. When it is not provided in the request, + the default port number for the protocol being used + will be set. + +* Ensure stream handlers can run after `cowboy_stream_h`. + +* Honor the SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH HTTP/2 setting: don't + send PUSH frames to clients that disabled it. + +* Fix HTTP/2 `settings_timeout` option when the value + is set to `infinity`. + +* HTTP/1.1 responses will no longer include a trailer header + when the request had no te header. + +* HTTP/1.1 204 responses no longer send the transfer-encoding + header when `cowboy_req:stream_reply/2,3` is used to send + a response. + +* Improve HTTP/1.1 keepalive handling to avoid processing + requests that follow the final request that will receive + a response. + +* Improve the validation of HTTP/1.1 absolute-form requests. + +* Errors that occur when a callback returned by + `content_types_provided` does not exist have been improved. + +* Prevent annoying error logs when using sendfile in + Erlang/OTP 20 and lower. + +* Add missing frame types to `websocket_handle`. + +* A test suite has been added for RFC8297 to ensure that + 103 informational responses can be sent. + +* Numerous test cases have been fixed, improved or removed in order + to make the test suites pass. Most of the failures were caused + by broken tests. + +* Some misguiding or incorrect statements in the documentation + have been removed or clarified. |
