Changelog

Version [Unreleased]

Bump minimum supported Rust version to 1.20.0.
Expose that the Request body (accessible with request.data()) has a Send bound.

Replace flate2 with deflate
Fixed handling of url-encoded path components in route!() macro. Previously, URL was eagerly decoded and thus would fail to match intended routes if special characters were used (such as ? or /). Now, individual matched components are decoded after matching.
Added Response::empty_204.
Added ssl feature and new_ssl constructor to Server, for https support. The certificate and private key must be supplied by user.

Dropped the use of rustc-serialize in favor of using serde.
Updated multipart to 0.13. The input::multipart::get_multipart_input function returns types reexported from multipart which have small but breaking API changes.
Update Server with an option to use a thread pool to process requests

The content_encoding module now supports brotli.
Added an accept! macro similar to a match expression that chooses a block depending on the value of the Accept header of the request.
Added proxy::full_proxy. It behaves the same as proxy but returns more status codes and less errors.
Added Response::from_data, from_file, with_content_disposition_attachment, empty_406, with_public_cache, with_private_cache, with_no_cache, without_header, with_additional_header and with_unique_header for easier response manipulation.
Added Request::headers() that provides an iterator to the list of headers.
Added input::priority_header_preferred and input::parse_priority_header to easily parse request headers such as Accept or Accept-Language.
MIME types that contain “font” are now also compressed by the content_encoding module.
Changed text/xml to application/xml in the MIME types auto-determination.

Added a Server struct as an alternative to start_server for manual control over the behavior.
Added a content_encoding::apply function that applies Content-Encoding to a response.
The try_or_400! macro now returns a response whose body describes the error in JSON.
The try_or_400! macro now requires the error to implement the std::error::Error trait.

Added support for websockets with the websocket module.
Added Request::do_not_track() to query the DNT header.
Renamed get_json_input() to json_input().
Renamed get_cookies() to cookies().
Renamed get_basic_http_auth() to basic_http_auth().
The logs now show the time of the start of the request processing.
Request::header() now returns a Option<&str> instead of Option<String>.
Response::svg() and Response::html() now take a Into<String> instead of a Into<Vec<u8>>.
Renamed Response::error() and success() to is_error() and is_success().
The headers field of Response are now Vec<(Cow<'static, str>, Cow<'static, str>)> instead of Vec<(String, String)>.
Removed Response::redirect and replaced it with redirect_301, redirect_302, etc.
Added Response::with_etag() to add an ETag header to a response.
Added an upgrade field to Response, necessary for websockets.
Fixed being able to set the value of the Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers.
plain_text_body now has a limit of 1 MB of data before returning an error.
Added plain_text_body_with_limit which does the same as plain_text_body but with a customizable limit.
Implemented the std::error::Error trait on all error types.
Added Response::into_reader_and_size() to retreive a Read object from a ResponseBody.
Fixed issue with static files not being found on Windows because of / and \ mismatch.

Reworked POST input. You can now use the post_input! macro instead of creating a decodable struct.
Removed the input::session module and replaced it with the session module. Sessions no longer store data in a hashmap, but instead only provide a way to generate a unique ID per client.

Fixed the + character in the query string not being replaced with a space as it should.
Request::data() now returns an Option<impl Read> instead of a Vec<u8>. If data() is called twice, the second call will return None.
RouteError has been removed. You are now encouraged to return a Response everywhere instead of a Result<Response, RouteError>.
The try_or_400!, find_route! and assert_or_4OO! macros and the match_assets function have been adjusted for the previous change.
Added a try_or_404! macro similar to try_or_400!.
In the case of a panic, the response with status code 500 that the server answers now contains a small text in its body, indicating the user that an internal server error occured.
Added Response::empty_400(), Response::empty_404(), Response::success() and Response::error().
