2013-11-15	Fix link to the Ranch guide in getting started	Loïc Hoguin

2013-11-02	Review, improve and document the static files handler	Loïc Hoguin
	Changes include: * Much simplified route configuration. * Etag generation is now enabled by default. * Web mimetypes are now detected by default. A bigger list of mimetypes can be detected without any additional library. * Mimetypes can no longer be specified as a list. Copying this list for new connections is too costy. You can easily convert it into a function and pass that function to the handler instead. * You can however specify a single hardcoded mimetype. Mostly useful when serving a single file, like an index.html file, to avoid extra operations. * Specifying a path as a list of tokens is not possible anymore. Use either a binary or a string. * Using a private directory will not work if the application was not started properly. Cowboy will not attempt to find the location of this directory if the VM doesn't know it, as this caused issues in some setups. * Overall the code has been much simplified and clarified, and of course has now been documented.
2013-10-14	erlang.mk now has built-in support for relx	Loïc Hoguin

2013-09-23	Greatly expand on the Req object	Loïc Hoguin
	Cut in four different chapters: request, request body, response and cookies.
2013-09-18	Remove unnecessary titles	Loïc Hoguin

2013-09-18	Greatly improve the HTTP handlers chapter	Loïc Hoguin

2013-09-18	Added a chapter about life of HTTP requests	Loïc Hoguin
	Reworked the table of contents also.
2013-09-10	Fix SPDY push explanations	Loïc Hoguin

2013-09-07	Much improved Getting started chapter	Loïc Hoguin
	We now describe how to build a hello world application from start to finish, including setting up erlang.mk for building, and using relx for generating the release. All concepts are not explained in details of course, but we don't need to at this point, we just want things to be working.
2013-09-04	Make cowlib a proper dependency	Loïc Hoguin
	Start moving a few functions from Cowboy into cowlib.
2013-08-27	Fix some explanations around response bodies	Loïc Hoguin

2013-06-27	Minor corrections of the guide	Matthias Endler

2013-06-27	Greatly improve the guide introduction	Loïc Hoguin

2013-06-23	Reword the clean erlang code part	Loïc Hoguin
	We don't care about parameterized modules anymore. They're gone!
2013-05-16	Make the HTTP version type more practical	Loïc Hoguin
	Now instead of {1, 1} we have 'HTTP/1.1', and instead of {1, 0} we have 'HTTP/1.0'. This is more efficient, easier to read in crash logs, and clearer in the code.
2013-05-15	Remove cowboy_req:fragment/1	Loïc Hoguin
	Clients do not send it. We skip the value if we receive it now, as it shouldn't happen, and won't for all the mainstream clients.
2013-04-26	Fix a small error in the REST part of the guide	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-26	Update the REST chapter of the guide	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-25	Improve static file handler guide chapter	Loïc Hoguin
	Add more infos about MIME types and the file option.
2013-04-25	Document meta values set by REST	Loïc Hoguin
	You can use these values to perform a reply using the negotiated content-type and language for non-HEAD/GET methods.
2013-04-19	Add section about REST methods	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-12	Add default operations for OPTIONS method in REST	Loïc Hoguin
	It defaults to setting the Allow header to "HEAD, GET, OPTIONS".
2013-04-11	Merge branch 'eventsource-helper' of git://github.com/jdavisp3/cowboy	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-11	Fix static handler snippet in the guide	Loïc Hoguin
	Thanks to Martin Törnwall for pointing this out.
2013-04-11	First draft of the REST chapter in the guide	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-11	Remove cowboy_req:peer_addr/1	Loïc Hoguin
	This kind of function is highly dependent on the proxy used, therefore parsing was added for x-forwarded-for instead and we just let users write the function that works for them. The code can be easily extracted if anyone was using the function.
2013-04-06	Add a reference to an eventsource helper utility.	Dave Peticolas

2013-04-03	Update Ranch to 0.8.0	Loïc Hoguin

2013-04-02	Replace init_stream/5 with stream_body/2	Loïc Hoguin
	This allows us to change the max chunk length on a per chunk basis instead of for the whole stream. It's also much easier to use this way even if we don't want to change the chunk size.
2013-03-22	Add a guide section for resource links	Loïc Hoguin

2013-03-06	Check the length before reading the body in body/1 and body_qs/1	rambocoder

2013-03-05	Make streamed chunk size configurable	Loïc Hoguin
	Defaults to a maximum of 1000000 bytes. Also standardize the te_identity and te_chunked decoding functions. Now they both try to read as much as possible (up to the limit), making body reading much faster when not using chunked encoding.
2013-03-02	Describe arguments of the HTTP handler callbacks	Loïc Hoguin

2013-03-02	Explain what are listeners and acceptors in Getting Started	Loïc Hoguin

2013-03-02	Add a recommendation about static files in production to the guide	Loïc Hoguin

2013-03-01	Add an example of onresponse hooks	Adam Cammack
	Also fix the guide entry on hooks.
2013-03-01	Fix an error in the guide introduction	Loïc Hoguin
	Reported by Joe Armstrong.
2013-02-27	Add a Supported platforms section to the guide introduction	Loïc Hoguin

2013-02-20	Add cowboy:set_env/3	Loïc Hoguin

2013-02-16	Add sub protocol behaviour	James Fish

2013-02-12	Merge branch 'static_doc' of git://github.com/acammack/cowboy	Loïc Hoguin

2013-02-11	Fix examples in cowboy_static edoc and guide	Adam Cammack

2013-02-11	Add a few directions in the REST chapter in the guide	Loïc Hoguin
	This is obviously not proper documentation. We will properly document it when the API stabilizes.
2013-01-31	Small routing guide fix	Ivan Lisenkov
	Make cowboy_router:compile/1 return to be consistent with current implementation.
2013-01-30	Fix small error in the websocket chapter in the guide	Loïc Hoguin
	Reported by Michel Rijnders.
2013-01-29	Add a section about closing the connection in the guide	Loïc Hoguin

2013-01-28	Add the 'function' constraint	Loïc Hoguin

2013-01-28	Add the 'int' constraint	Loïc Hoguin

2013-01-28	New routing	Loïc Hoguin
	Ultimately few things change, it's mostly just a nicer syntax and slightly different expectations. The name of the value `dispatch` did not change, because the previous dispatch values will now fail if the code is not updated to using `cowboy_router:compile/1`. No constraints have been implemented in this commit.
2013-01-22	Replace terminate/2 with terminate/3, adding a Reason	Loïc Hoguin
	This should have been done a long time ago, back when I initially added Websocket support. This is the first part of two in improving loop handler support with regards to socket closure. Reason may include: {normal, shutdown} for the most normal shutdown, {normal, timeout} for a loop handler timeout shutdown, or {error, _} if an error occured.
