Changelog

5.0.4

Oct 11, 2018

Security patch

please upgrade if you are serving static files with router::serve_files()

• The file serving convenience methods would gleefully serve up your entire filesystem, whether you liked it or not. This has been fixed.

5.0.3

Jun 5, 2018

• Fixed a problem when Luna would just flat-out crash when trying to determine the content-type for an unknown file extension.

5.0.2

May 29, 2018

• Minor update to logging functions that uses the provided server name, instead of hard coding “Luna”. Just in case.

5.0.1

Apr 20, 2018

• Fixed a bug whereby some otherwise valid basic auth headers were being rejected. Stupid regexes.

5.0.0

Mar 21, 2018

• Oh, wow, now you can get Luna as a pre-built library!
• Changed up the way you construct router objects so that it is impossible to forget to add them into a server object.

With huge thanks to samielhini, pvicente, uilianries, and the Conan team generally for their help in getting this build working.

4.0.1

Feb 7, 2018

• So, there were some small bugs that prevented compilation on some platforms. No longer.
• Also, I seem to have forgottent to close some quotes in a string or two. Nothing more than grammatical issues in English, thankfully

4.0.0

Oct 29, 2017

Holy shit, here’s some breaking changes for you.

There’s a lot going on in the API whose use is just questionable at best, so some cruft has been removed:

• Removed all existing middleware
• Removed all existing error handling callbacks
• Removed the ability to remove request handlers (because, really, why is that necessary?)
• All request handling has been moved to a new router class for increased flexibility.

We’ve also added a project template in examples/project_template that you can use as the basis for your own Luna-powered API.

3.3.0

Aug 24, 2017

• Now we can offer a little file cacheing of our own. It’s not as great as building your own cache, but it’s cheap and easy to do.

3.2.1

Aug 20, 2017

• Oh, what, poll isn’t working for some reason on Macs. Switched to using select as default. Performance is now much better. You can get poll behavior by using the use_epoll_if_available option.
• There’s been a good bit of behind-the-scenes work making things cleaner, more maintainable, and ready for some planned improvements.

3.2.0

Aug 12, 2017

• Tired of manually sending the same headers for every request? Now you can set global headers that will automatically be sent for each request.

3.1.1

Jul 23, 2017

• TIL that I am no good with POSIX IP address manipulation functions. I am deeply embarrassed that this has been so broken for so long, and I didn’t even know. So: Finally. Your damned log messages are logging the correct IP address!

3.1.0

Jul 21, 2017

• I suppose the changes to the logger are technically a breaking change. Now you get the server’s response too.
• Now, if you are serving files, and someone requests a directory, and you have an index.html, we serve that index.html automatically
• Mime types for CSS and JavaScript files were incorrectly deduced. Now they are mostly correctly deduced.
• Some minor internal fixes that you will never ever possibly notice, honestly. They are more for my peace of mind than anything.

3.0.0

Jul 7, 2017

• Because the 404 is the centerpiece of your brand, you can now more easily supply your own custom 404 pages, and other error pages too. 👷‍♀️
• The logging system was a logjam. A logjam on fire. A jam fire, if you will. Now it is less so. 🚒
• Added a mechanism to support optional in-memory cacheing of objects served from the disk. Done well, this can offer a 400% speed-up! Tried to make the interface as simple as possible to use. That said, cache invalidation is on you 😘
• Who knew, apparently we were not correctly handling IP address strings. Happens to the best! And also to us. 😳
• The examples provided are now cleaner, neater, clearer, and documented.
• More testing added to increase coverage. Decreased indeterminism in some of the tests.
• GCC 4.9 support is on its last legs, TBH.
• So, looking to the future, we fixed GCC 5 tests, and added GCC 6 tests, to ensure compatibility. Yes, it is compatible.

2.11.0

May 2, 2017

• Added ability to validate parameters prior to passing request on to request handler. Parameters passed in request that do not validate will automatically 401.
• Added ability to add middleware to Luna; new hooks exposed to allow running custom code upon request receipt, upon response creation, and upon response error.

2.10.1

Feb 1, 2017

• Bump to dependencies that should make absolutely no difference to how Luna operates. Should be effectively identical to previous version.

2.10.0

Jan 14, 2017

• Now request and response headers are treated as case-insensitive. Because they are supposed to.
• Luna now reports something about itself in response headers

2.9.0

Nov 22, 2016

• luna::server::await() is now the best way to wait for a server to stop.
• You can now choose not to start the server at construction time, instead calling luna::server::start() to start the server. Just pass luna::server::start_on_construction{false} to the luna::server constructor.
• You can now also choose to stop the server at will with luna::server::stop().

2.8.0

Nov 13, 2016

• Now you can serve static assets directly from the filesystem.

2.7.1

Nov 5, 2016

• Fixing some crazy memory leak I found, but then I forgot what I fixed.
