This version is a +very good milestone toward that goal and most of everything +should now work. Release upgrades and a few details will +be improved in future versions. + +=== Features added + +* Add support for all functions from the module `sys`. Note + that Cowboy currently does not implement the `sys` debugging + mechanisms as tracing is recommended instead. + +* Add a `max_frame_size` option for Websocket handlers + to close the connection when the client attempts to + send a frame that's too large. It currently defaults + to `infinity` to avoid breaking existing code but will + be changed in a future version. + +* Update Cowlib to 2.2.1. + +* Add support for the 308 status code and a test suite + for RFC7538 where it is defined. + +=== Bugs fixed + +* Ensure timeout options accept the value `infinity` as + documented. + +* Properly reject HTTP/2 requests with an invalid content-length + header instead of simply crashing. + +* When switching from HTTP/1.1 to Websocket or user protocols + all the messages in the mailbox were flushed. Only messages + specific to `cowboy_http` should now be flushed. + +* Parsing of the x-forwarded-for header has been corrected. + It now supports IPv6 addresses both with and without port. + +* Websocket subprotocol tokens are now parsed in a case + insensitive manner, according to the spec. + +* Cookies without values are now allowed. For example `Cookie: foo`. + +* Colons are now allowed within path segments in routes provided + to `cowboy_router:compile/1` as long as they are not the first + character of the path segment. + +* The `cowboy_req:delete_resp_header/2` function will no longer + crash when no response header was set before calling it. + +* A miscount of the output HTTP/2 flow control window has been + fixed. It prevented sending the response body fully to some + clients. The issue only affected response bodies sent as iolists. |
