<p>Gun <code>2.0.0-pre.2</code> has been released!</p>
<p>The second pre-release version of Gun 2.0 has been released! Gun 2.0 adds a ton of features along with a small number of breaking changes.</p>
<p>The main highlight of this pre-release is the support for a pluggable cookie store mechanism. Gun 2.0 comes with a cookie store engine that can automatically process cookies and store them to and retrieve them from a pluggable backend.</p>
<p>Gun 2.0 comes with the <code>gun_cookies_list</code> backend which can be enabled via the new <code>cookie_store</code> option. This backend will keep cookies in-memory on a per-connection basis and without any persistence built-in. It should however be easy to create a backend on top of this one to add persistence or share the cookie store backend between multiple connections should that be necessary.</p>
<p>The cookie store engine implements the RFC6265bis draft that will become a proper RFC in the nearby future and includes all the most recent improvements to cookies that modern browsers have implemented. Gun is not a browser however so some features were skipped (at least for now): there is no support for setting cookies from the Erlang side; and there is no SameSite checks because Gun does not have a concept of a &quot;browsing context&quot;.</p>
<p>Please consult the <a href="/articles/gun-2.0.0-pre.1/">announcement for the first pre-release</a> for information about other Gun 2.0 features.</p>
<p>Gun 2.0 currently requires Erlang/OTP 22 or above and is tested and supported on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows.</p>
<p>A complete list of changes can be found in the migration guide: <a href="https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/2.0/guide/migrating_from_1.3/">Migrating from Gun 1.3 to 2.0</a>.</p>
<p>I will have more free time available for consulting or for paid open source development starting from next week. If you are interested, drop me an email at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>. A feature that may be useful for some of you could be for example an implementation for the &quot;Happy Eyeballs&quot; mechanism (RFC 8305) as this would allow faster connections to servers on dual IPv4 and IPv6 environments.</p>
<p>You can donate to this project via <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/essen">GitHub Sponsors</a>. These funds are used to pay for additional servers for testing.</p>
<p>As usual, feedback is appreciated, and issues or questions should be sent via Github tickets. Thanks!</p>
