Major Features and Improvements

This release introduces the following major features and improvements:

Support for compilation on Rust's stable release channel.
A rewritten, fully asynchronous core with support for async/await.
WebSocket support via rocket_ws.
Feature-complete forms support including multipart, collections, ad-hoc validation, and context.

Graceful shutdown with configurable signaling, grace periods, notification, and shutdown fairings.
An entirely new, flexible and robust configuration system based on Figment.
Typed asynchronous streams and Server-Sent Events with generator syntax.
Asynchronous database pooling support via rocket_db_pools.
Support for mutual TLS and client Certificates.
Automatic support for HTTP/2 including h2 ALPN.
Graduation of json, msgpack, and uuid rocket_contrib features into core.

First-class support for serde for built-in guards and types.
New application launch attributes: #[launch] and #[rocket::main].
Default catchers via #[catch(default)], which handle any status code.
Catcher scoping to narrow the scope of a catcher to a URI prefix.
Built-in libraries and support for asynchronous testing.
A TempFile data and form guard for automatic uploading to a temporary file.

Optimistic responding even when data is left unread or limits are exceeded.
Fully decoded borrowed strings as dynamic parameters, form and data guards.
Borrowed byte slices as data and form guards.
Fail-fast behavior for misconfigured secrets, file serving paths.
Support for generics and custom generic bounds in #[derive(Responder)].

Completely rewritten examples including a new real-time chat application.

Support for Rust Stable

As a result of support for Rust stable (Rust 2021 Edition and beyond), #![feature(..)] crate attributes are no longer required to use Rocket. The complete canonical example with a single hello route becomes:

#[macro_use] extern crate rocket;

#[get("/<name>/<age>")]
fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}

#[launch]
fn rocket() -> _ {
    rocket::build().mount("/hello", routes![hello])
}

See a diff of the changes from v0.4.

- #![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
-
 #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;

 #[get("/<name>/<age>")]
- fn hello(name: String, age: u8) -> String {
+ fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
     format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}

- fn main() {
-     rocket::ignite().mount("/hello", routes![hello]).launch();
- }
+ #[launch]
+ fn rocket() -> _ {
+     rocket::build().mount("/hello", routes![hello])
+ }

Breaking Changes

This release includes many breaking changes. For a walkthrough guide on handling these changes, see the v0.4 to v0.5 migration guide. The most significant changes are listed below.

Silent Changes

These changes are invisible to the compiler and will not yield errors or warnings at compile-time. We strongly advise all application authors to review this list carefully.

Blocking I/O (long running compute, synchronous sleep(), Mutex, RwLock, etc.) may prevent the server from making progress and should be avoided, replaced with an async variant, or performed in a worker thread. This is a consequence of Rust's cooperative async multitasking. For details, see the new multitasking section of the guide.
ROCKET_ENV is now ROCKET_PROFILE. A warning is emitted a launch time if the former is set.
The default profile for debug builds is now debug, not dev.
The default profile for release builds is now release, not prod.
ROCKET_LOG is now ROCKET_LOG_LEVEL. A warning is emitted a launch time if the former is set.
ROCKET_ADDRESS accepts only IP addresses, no longer resolves hostnames like localhost.
ROCKET_CLI_COLORS accepts booleans true, false in place of strings "on", "off".
It is a launch-time error if secrets is enabled in non-debug profiles without a configured secret_key.
A misconfigured template_dir is reported as an error at launch time.
FileServer::new() fails immediately if the provided directory does not exist.
Catcher collisions result in a launch failure as opposed to a warning.
Default ranks now range from -12 to -1. There is no breaking change if only code generated routes are used. Manually configured routes with negative ranks may collide or be considered in a different order than before.
The order of execution of path and query guards relative to each other is now unspecified.
URIs beginning with : are properly recognized as invalid and rejected.
URI normalization now normalizes the query part as well.
The Segments iterator now returns percent-decoded &strs.
Forms are now parsed leniently by the Form guard. Use Strict for the previous behavior.
The Option<T> form guard defaults to None instead of the default value for T.
When data limits are exceeded, a 413 Payload Too Large status is returned to the client.
The default catcher now returns JSON when the client indicates preference via the Accept header.
Empty boolean form values parse as true: the query string ?f is the same as ?f=true.
Created<R> does not automatically send an ETag header if R: Hash. Use Created::tagged_body instead.
FileServer now forwards when a file is not found instead of failing with 404 Not Found.
Shield is enabled by default. You may need to disable or change policies if your application depends on typically insecure browser features or if you wish to opt-in to different policies than the defaults.
CookieJar get()s do not return cookies added during request handling. See CookieJar#pending.
Hash impls for MediaType and ContentType no longer consider media type parameters.
When requested, the FromForm implementations of Vec and Maps are now properly lenient.
To agree with browsers, the [ and ] characters are now accepted in URI paths.
The [ and ] characters are no longer encoded by uri!.
The Secure cookie flag is set by default for all cookies when serving over TLS.
Removal cookies have SameSite set to Lax by default.
MediaType::JavaScript is now text/javascript.

Contrib Graduation

The rocket_contrib crate is deprecated and the functionality moved to other rocket crates. The contrib deprecation upgrade guide provides a walkthrough on migrating. The relevant changes are:

Several features previously in rocket_contrib were merged into rocket itself:
- json, msgpack, and uuid are now features of rocket.
- Moved rocket_contrib::json to rocket::serde::json.
- Moved rocket_contrib::msgpack to rocket::serde::msgpack.
- Moved rocket_contrib::uuid to rocket::serde::uuid.
- Moved rocket_contrib::helmet to rocket::shield. Shield is enabled by default.
- Moved rocket_contrib::serve to rocket::fs, StaticFiles to rocket::fs::FileServer.
- Removed the now unnecessary Uuid and JsonValue wrapper types.
- Removed headers in Shield that are no longer respected by browsers.
The remaining features from rocket_contrib are now provided by separate crates:
- Replaced rocket_contrib::templates with rocket_dyn_templates.
- Replaced rocket_contrib::databases with rocket_sync_db_pools and rocket_db_pools.
- These crates are versioned and released independently of rocket.
- rocket_contrib::databases::DbError is now rocket_sync_db_pools::Error.
- Removed redis, mongodb, and mysql integrations which have upstream async drivers.
- The #[database] attribute generates an async run() method instead of Deref implementations.

General

The following breaking changes apply broadly and are likely to cause compile-time errors.

Rocket is now generic over a phase marker:
- APIs operate on Rocket<Build>, Rocket<Ignite>, Rocket<Orbit>, or Rocket<P: Phase> as needed.
- The phase marker statically enforces state transitions in Build, Ignite, Orbit order.
- rocket::ignite() is now rocket::build() and returns a Rocket<Build>.
- Rocket::ignite() transitions to the Ignite phase. This is run automatically on launch as needed.
- Ignition finalizes configuration, runs ignite fairings, and verifies sentinels.
- Rocket::launch() transitions into the Orbit phase and starts the server.
- Methods like Request::rocket() that refer to a live Rocket instance return an &Rocket<Orbit>.
Fairings have been reorganized and restructured for async:
- Replaced attach fairings with ignite fairings. Unlike attach fairings, which ran immediately at the time of attachment, ignite fairings are run when transitioning into the Ignite phase.
- Replaced launch fairings with liftoff fairings. liftoff fairings are always run, even in local clients, after the server begins listening and the concrete port is known.
Introduced a new configuration system based on Figment:
- The concept of "environments" is replaced with "profiles".
- ROCKET_ENV is superseded by ROCKET_PROFILE.
- ROCKET_LOG is superseded by ROCKET_LOG_LEVEL.
- Profile names can now be arbitrarily chosen. The dev, stage, and prod profiles carry no special meaning.
- The debug and release profiles are the default profiles for the debug and release compilation profiles.
- A new specially recognized default profile specifies defaults for all profiles.
- The global profile has highest precedence, followed by the selected profile, followed by default.
- Added support for limits specified in SI units: "1 MiB".
- Renamed LoggingLevel to LogLevel.
- Inlined error variants into the Error structure.
- Changed the type of workers to usize from u16.
- Changed accepted values for keep_alive: it is disabled with 0, not false or off.
- Disabled the secrets feature (for private cookies) by default.
- Removed APIs related to "extras". Typed values can be extracted from the configured Figment.
- Removed ConfigBuilder: all fields of Config are public with constructors for each field type.
Many functions, traits, and trait bounds have been modified for async:
- FromRequest, Fairing, catcher::Handler, route::Handler, and FromData use #[async_trait].
- NamedFile::open is now an async function.
- Added Request::local_cache_async() for use in async request guards.
- Unsized Response bodies must be AsyncRead instead of Read.
- Automatically sized Response bodies must be AsyncSeek instead of Seek.
- The local module is split into two: rocket::local::asynchronous and rocket::local::blocking.
Functionality and features requiring Rust nightly were removed:
- Removed the Try implementation on Outcome which allowed using ? with Outcomes. The recommended replacement is the rocket::outcome::try_outcome! macro or the various combinator functions on Outcome.
- Result<T, E> implements Responder only when both T and E implement Responder. The new Debug wrapping responder replaces Result<T: Responder, E: Debug>.
- APIs which used the ! type to now use std::convert::Infallible.
IntoOutcome was overhauled to supplant methods now removed in Outcome.
- IntoOutcome::into_outcome() is now or_error().
- IntoOutcome is implemented for all Outcome type aliases.
- Outcome::forward() requires specifying a status code.
- Outcome::from() and Outcome::from_or_forward() were removed.
Rocket::register() now takes a base path to scope catchers under as its first argument.
ErrorKind::Collision has been renamed to ErrorKind::Collisions.
TLS config values are only available when the tls feature is enabled.
MediaType::with_params() and ContentType::with_params() are now builder methods.
Content-Type content responder type names are now prefixed with Raw.
The content::Plain responder is now called content::RawText.
The content::Custom<T> responder was removed in favor of (ContentType, T).
Removed CookieJar::get_private_pending() in favor of CookieJar::get_pending().
The local_cache! macro accepts fewer types. Use local_cache_once! as appropriate.
Rocket::launch() allows Rocket recovery by returning the instance after shutdown.
ErrorKind::Runtime was removed; ErrorKind::Shutdown was added.
Outcome::Failure was renamed to Outcome::Error.

Routing and URIs

In #[route(GET, path = "...")], path is now uri: #[route(GET, uri = "...")].
Multi-segment paths (/<p..>) now match zero or more segments.
Codegen improvements preclude identically named routes and modules in the same namespace.
A route URI like (/<a>/<p..>) now collides with (/<a>), requires a rank to resolve.
All catcher related types and traits moved to rocket::catcher.
All route related types and traits moved to rocket::route.
URI formatting types and traits moved to rocket::http::uri::fmt.
T no longer converts to Option<T> or Result<T, _> for uri! query parameters.
For optional query parameters, uri! requires using a wrapped value or _.
&RawStr no longer implements FromParam: use &str instead.
Percent-decoding is performed before calling FromParam implementations.
RawStr::url_decode() and RawStr::url_decode_lossy() allocate as necessary, return Cow.
RawStr::from_str() was replaced with RawStr::new().
Origin::segments() was replaced with Origin.path().segments().
Origin::path() and Origin::query() return &RawStr instead of &str.
The type of Route::name is now Option<Cow<'static, str>>.
Route::set_uri was replaced with Route::map_base().
The Route::uri field is now of type RouteUri.
Route::base was removed in favor of Route.uri().base().
Route Forward outcomes are now associated with a Status.
The status codes used when built-in guards forward were changed:
- Route parameter FromParam errors now forward as 422.
- Query parameter errors now forward as 422.
- Incorrect form content-type errors forwards as 413.
- &Host, &Accept, &ContentType, IpAddr, and SocketAddr all forward with a 500.

Data and Forms

Data now has a lifetime generic: Data<'r>.
Data::open() indelibly requires a data limit.
Removed FromDataSimple. Use FromData and local_cache! or local_cache_once!.
All DataStream APIs require limits and return Capped<T> types.
Form types and traits were moved from rocket::request to rocket::form.
Removed FromQuery. Dynamic query parameters (#[get("/?<param>")]) use FromForm instead.
Replaced FromFormValue with FromFormField. All T: FromFormField implement FromForm.
Form field values are percent-decoded before calling FromFormField implementations.
Renamed the #[form(field = ...)] attribute to #[field(name = ...)].
Custom form errors must now specify an associated Status.

Request Guards

Renamed Cookies to CookieJar. Its methods take &self.
Renamed Flash.name to Flash.kind, Flash.msg to Flash.message.
Replaced Request::get_param() with Request::param().
Replaced Request::get_segments() to Request::segments().
Replaced Request::get_query_value() with Request::query_value().
Replaced Segments::into_path_buf() with Segments::to_path_buf().
Replaced Segments and QuerySegments with Segments<Path> and Segments<Query>.
Flash constructors now take Into<String> instead of AsRef<str>.
The State<'_, T> request guard is now &State<T>.
Removed a lifetime from FromRequest: FromRequest<'r>.
Removed a lifetime from FlashMessage: FlashMessage<'_>.
Removed all State reexports except rocket::State.

Responders

Moved NamedFile to rocket::fs::NamedFile
Replaced Content with content::Custom.
Response::body and Response::body_mut are now infallible methods.
Renamed ResponseBuilder to Builder.
Removed direct Response body reading methods. Use methods on r.body_mut() instead.
Removed inaccurate "chunked body" types and variants.
Removed Responder impl for Response. Prefer custom responders with #[derive(Responder)].
Removed the unused reason phrase from Status.
The types of responders in response::status were unified to all be of the form Status<R>(R).

Codegen Rewrite

The rocket_codegen crate has been entirely rewritten using to-be-stable procedural macro APIs. We expect nightly breakages to drop dramatically, likely to zero, as a result. The new prelude import for Rocket applications is:

- #![feature(plugin)]
- #![plugin(rocket_codegen)]
+ #![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]

- extern crate rocket;
+ #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;

The rocket_codegen crate should not be a direct dependency. Remove it from your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
- rocket = "0.3"
+ rocket = "0.4"
- rocket_codegen = "0.3"

Breaking Changes

This release includes many breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications when applicable.

Route and catcher attributes respect function privacy.

To mount a route or register a catcher outside of the module it is declared, ensure that the handler function is marked pub or crate.
Query handling syntax has been completely revamped.

A query parameter of <param> is now <param..>. Consider whether your application benefits from the revamped query string handling.
The #[error] attribute and errors! macro were removed.

Use #[catch] and catchers! instead.
Rocket::catch() was renamed to Rocket::register().

Change calls of the form .catch(errors![..]) to .register(catchers![..]).
The #[catch] attribute only accepts functions with 0 or 1 argument.

Ensure the argument to the catcher, if any, is of type &Request.
json! returns a JsonValue, no longer needs wrapping.

Change instances of Json(json!(..)) to json! and change the corresponding type to JsonValue.
All environments default to port 8000.

Manually configure a port of 80 for the stage and production environments for the previous behavior.
Release builds default to the production environment.

Manually set the environment to debug with ROCKET_ENV=debug for the previous behavior.
Form and LenientForm lost a lifetime parameter, get() method.

Change a type of Form<'a, T<'a>> to Form<T> or Form<T<'a>>. Form<T> and LenientForm<T> now implement Deref<Target = T>, allowing for calls to .get() to be removed.
ring was updated to 0.13.

Ensure all transitive dependencies to ring refer to version 0.13.
Uri was largely replaced by Origin.

In general, replace the type Uri with Origin. The base and uri fields of Route are now of type Origin. The &Uri guard is now &Origin. Request::uri() now returns an Origin.
All items in rocket_contrib are namespaced behind modules.
- Json is now json::Json
- MsgPack is now msgpack::MsgPack
- MsgPackError is now msgpack::Error
- Template is now templates::Template
- UUID is now uuid::Uuid
- Value is replaced by json::JsonValue
TLS certificates require the subjectAltName extension.

Ensure that your TLS certificates contain the subjectAltName extension with a value set to your domain.
Route paths, mount points, and LocalRequest URIs are strictly checked.

Ensure your mount points are absolute paths with no parameters, ensure your route paths are absolute paths with proper parameter syntax, and ensure that paths passed to LocalRequest are valid.
Template::show() takes an &Rocket, doesn't accept a root.

Use client.rocket() to get a reference to an instance of Rocket when testing. Use Template::render() in routes.
Request::remote() returns the actual remote IP, doesn't rewrite.

Use Request::real_ip() or Request::client_ip() to retrieve the IP address from the "X-Real-IP" header if it is present.
Bind variant was added to LaunchErrorKind.

Ensure matches on LaunchErrorKind include or ignore the Bind variant.
Cookies are automatically tracked and propagated by Client.

For the previous behavior, construct a Client with Client::untracked().
UUID was renamed to Uuid.

Use Uuid instead of UUID.
LocalRequest::cloned_dispatch() was removed.

Chain calls to .clone().dispatch() for the previous behavior.
Redirect constructors take a generic type of T: TryInto<Uri<'static>>.

A call to a Redirect constructor with a non-'static &str of the form Redirect::to(string) should become Redirect::to(string.to_string()), heap-allocating the string before being passed to the constructor.
The FromData impl for Form and LenientForm now return an error of type FormDataError.

On non-I/O errors, the form string is stored in the variant as an &'f str.
Missing variant was added to ConfigError.

Ensure matches on ConfigError include or ignore the Missing variant.
The FromData impl for Json now returns an error of type JsonError.

The previous SerdeError is now the .1 member of the JsonError enum. Match and destruct the variant for the previous behavior.
FromData is now emulated by FromDataSimple.

Change implementations, not uses, of FromData to FromDataSimple. Consider whether your implementation could benefit from transformations.
FormItems iterates over values of type FormItem.

Map using .map(|item| item.key_value()) for the previous behavior.
LaunchErrorKind::Collision contains a vector of the colliding routes.

Destruct using LaunchErrorKind::Collision(..) to ignore the vector.
Request::get_param() and Request::get_segments() are indexed by segment, not dynamic parameter.

Modify the n argument in calls to these functions appropriately.
Method-based route attributes no longer accept a keyed path parameter.

Change an attribute of the form #[get(path = "..")] to #[get("..")].
Json and MsgPack data guards no longer reject requests with an unexpected Content-Type

To approximate the previous behavior, add a format = "json" route parameter when using Json or format = "msgpack" when using MsgPack.
Implemented Responder for Status. Removed Failure, status::NoContent, and status::Reset responders.

Replace uses of Failure(status) with status directly. Replace status::NoContent with Status::NoContent. Replace status::Reset with Status::ResetContent.
Config::root() returns an Option<&Path> instead of an &Path.

For the previous behavior, use config.root().unwrap().
Status::new() is no longer const.

Construct a Status directly.
Config constructors return a Config instead of a Result<Config>.
ConfigError::BadCWD, Config.config_path were removed.
Json no longer has a default value for its type parameter.
Using data on a non-payload method route is a warning instead of error.
The raw_form_string method of Form and LenientForm was removed.
Various impossible Error associated types are now set to !.
All AdHoc constructors require a name as the first parameter.
The top-level Error type was removed.

General Improvements

In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:

Log messages now refer to routes by name.
Collision errors on launch name the colliding routes.
Launch fairing failures refer to the failing fairing by name.
The default 403 catcher now references authorization, not authentication.
Private cookies are set to HttpOnly and are given an expiration date of 1 week by default.

Sync bound on AdHoc::on_attach(), AdHoc::on_launch() was removed.
AdHoc::on_attach(), AdHoc::on_launch() accept an FnOnce.
Added Config::root_relative() for retrieving paths relative to the configuration file.
Added Config::tls_enabled() for determining whether TLS is actively enabled.
ASCII color codes are not emitted on versions of Windows that do not support them.
Added FLAC (audio/flac), Icon (image/x-icon), WEBA (audio/webm), TIFF (image/tiff), AAC (audio/aac), Calendar (text/calendar), MPEG (video/mpeg), TAR (application/x-tar), GZIP (application/gzip), MOV (video/quicktime), MP4 (video/mp4), ZIP (application/zip) as known media types.

Interaction between route attributes and declarative macros has been improved.
Generated code now logs through logging infrastructures as opposed to using println!.
Routing has been optimized by caching routing metadata.
Form and LenientForm can be publicly constructed.
Console coloring uses default terminal colors instead of white.
Console coloring is consistent across all messages.

A MsgPack type has been added to contrib for simple consumption and returning of MessagePack data.
Launch failures (LaunchError) from Rocket::launch() are now returned for inspection without panicking.
Routes without query parameters now match requests with or without query parameters.
Default rankings range from -4 to -1, preferring static paths and routes with query string matches.
A native Accept header structure was added.
The Accept request header can be retrieved via Request::accept().
Incoming form fields can be renamed via a new #[form(field = "name")] structure field attribute.
All active routes can be retrieved via Rocket::routes().
Response::body_string() was added to retrieve the response body as a String.
Response::body_bytes() was added to retrieve the response body as a Vec<u8>.
Response::content_type() was added to easily retrieve the Content-Type header of a response.
Size limits on incoming data are now configurable.
Request::limits() was added to retrieve incoming data limits.
Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming request.
Request::guard() was added for simple retrieval of request guards.
Request::route() was added to retrieve the active route, if any.
&Route is now a request guard.
The base mount path of a Route can be retrieved via Route::base or Route::base().
Cookies supports private (authenticated encryption) cookies, encrypted with the secret_key config key.
Config::{development, staging, production} constructors were added for Config.
Config::get_datetime() was added to retrieve an extra as a Datetime.

Breaking Changes

This release includes many breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications.

session_key was renamed to secret_key, requires a 256-bit base64 key

It's unlikely that session_key was previously used. If it was, rename session_key to secret_key. Generate a random 256-bit base64 key using a tool like openssl: openssl rand -base64 32.
The &Cookies request guard has been removed in favor of Cookies

Change &Cookies in a request guard position to Cookies.
Rocket::launch() now returns a LaunchError, doesn't panic.

For the old behavior, suffix a call to .launch() with a semicolon: .launch();.
Routes without query parameters match requests with or without query parameters.

There is no workaround, but this change may allow manual ranks from routes to be removed.
The format route attribute on non-payload requests matches against the Accept header.

Excepting a custom request guard, there is no workaround. Previously, format always matched against the Content-Type header, regardless of whether the request method indicated a payload or not.
A type of &str can no longer be used in form structures or parameters.

Use the new &RawStr type instead.
ContentType is no longer a request guard.

Use &ContentType instead.
Request::content_type() returns &ContentType instead of ContentType.

Use .clone() on &ContentType if a type of ContentType is required.
Response::header_values() was removed. Response::headers() now returns an &HeaderMap.

A call to Response::headers() can be replaced with Response::headers().iter(). A call to Response::header_values(name) can be replaced with Response::headers().get(name).
Route collisions result in a hard error and panic.

There is no workaround. Previously, route collisions were a warning.
The IntoOutcome trait has been expanded and made more flexible.

There is no workaround. IntoOutcome::into_outcome() now takes a Failure value to use. IntoOutcome::or_forward() was added to return a Forward outcome if self indicates an error.
The 'testing' feature was removed.

Remove features = ["testing"] from Cargo.toml. Use the new local module for testing.
serde was updated to 1.0.

There is no workaround. Ensure all dependencies rely on serde 1.0.
config::active() was removed.

Use Rocket::config() to retrieve the configuration before launch. If needed, use managed state to store config information for later use.
The Responder trait has changed.

Responder::respond(self) was removed in favor of Responder::respond_to(self, &Request). Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming request.
Outcome::of(Responder) was removed while Outcome::from(&Request, Responder) was added.

Use Outcome::from(..) instead of Outcome::of(..).
Usage of templates requires Template::fairing() to be attached.

Call .attach(Template::fairing()) on the application's Rocket instance before launching.
The Display implementation of Template was removed.

Use Template::show() to render a template directly.
Request::new() is no longer exported.

There is no workaround.
The FromForm trait has changed.

Responder::from_form_items(&mut FormItems) was removed in favor of Responder::from_form(&mut FormItems, bool). The second parameter indicates whether parsing should be strict (if true) or lenient (if false).
LoggingLevel was removed as a root reexport.

It can now be imported from rocket::config::LoggingLevel.
An Io variant was added to ConfigError.

Ensure matches on ConfigError include an Io variant.
ContentType::from_extension() returns an Option<ContentType>.

For the old behavior, use .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any).
The IntoValue config trait was removed in favor of Into<Value>.

There is no workaround. Use Into<Value> as necessary.
The rocket_contrib::JSON type has been renamed to rocket_contrib::Json.

Use Json instead of JSON.
All structs in the content module use TitleCase names.

Use Json, Xml, Html, and Css instead of JSON, XML, HTML, and CSS, respectively.

General Improvements

In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:

"Rocket" is now capitalized in the Server HTTP header.
The generic parameter of rocket_contrib::Json defaults to json::Value.
The trailing '...' in the launch message was removed.
The launch message prints regardless of the config environment.
For debugging, FromData is implemented for Vec<u8> and String.
The port displayed on launch is the port resolved, not the one configured.
The uuid dependency was updated to 0.5.
The base64 dependency was updated to 0.6.

Minimum required rustc is 1.17.0-nightly (2017-02-26).

Version 0.2.1 (Feb 24, 2017)

Core Fixes

Flash cookie deletion functions as expected regardless of the path.
config properly accepts IPv6 addresses.
Multiple Set-Cookie headers are properly set.

Core Improvements

Display and Error were implemented for ConfigError.
webp, ttf, otf, woff, and woff2 were added as known content types.
Routes are presorted for faster routing.
into_bytes and into_inner methods were added to Body.

Codegen

Fixed unmanaged_state lint so that it works with prefilled type aliases.

Contrib

Better errors are emitted on Tera template parse errors.

Documentation

Fixed typos in manage and JSON docs.

Infrastructure

Updated doctests for latest Cargo nightly.

Version 0.2.0 (Feb 06, 2017)

Detailed release notes for v0.2 can also be found on rocket.rs.

New Features

This release includes the following new features:

Introduced managed state.
Added lints that warn on unmanaged state and unmounted routes.
Added the ability to set configuration parameters via environment variables.
Config structures can be built via ConfigBuilder, which follows the builder pattern.
Logging can be enabled or disabled on custom configuration via a second parameter to the Rocket::custom method.
name and value methods were added to Header to retrieve the name and value of a header.
A new configuration parameter, workers, can be used to set the number of threads Rocket uses.
The address of the remote connection is available via Request.remote(). Request preprocessing overrides remote IP with value from the X-Real-IP header, if present.
During testing, the remote address can be set via MockRequest.remote().
The SocketAddr request guard retrieves the remote address.
A UUID type has been added to contrib.
rocket and rocket_codegen will refuse to build with an incompatible nightly version and emit nice error messages.
Major performance and usability improvements were upstreamed to the cookie crate, including the addition of a CookieBuilder.
When a checkbox isn't present in a form, bool types in a FromForm structure will parse as false.
The FormItems iterator can be queried for a complete parse via completed and exhausted.
Routes for OPTIONS requests can be declared via the options decorator.
Strings can be percent-encoded via URI::percent_encode().

Breaking Changes

This release includes several breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications.

Rocket::custom takes two parameters, the first being Config by value.

A call in v0.1 of the form Rocket::custom(&config) is now Rocket::custom(config, false).
Tera templates are named without their extension.

A templated named name.html.tera is now simply name.
JSON unwrap method has been renamed to into_inner.

A call to .unwrap() should be changed to .into_inner().
The map! macro was removed in favor of the json! macro.

A call of the form map!{ "a" => b } can be written as: json!({ "a": b }).
The hyper::SetCookie header is no longer exported.

Use the Cookie type as an Into<Header> type directly.
The Content-Type for String is now text/plain.

Use content::HTML<String> for HTML-based String responses.
Request.content_type() returns an Option<ContentType>.

Use .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any) to get the old behavior.
The ContentType request guard forwards when the request has no Content-Type header.

Use an Option<ContentType> and .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any) for the old behavior.
A Rocket instance must be declared before a MockRequest.

Change the order of the rocket::ignite() and MockRequest::new() calls.
A route with format specified only matches requests with the same format.

Previously, a route with a format would match requests without a format specified. There is no workaround to this change; simply specify formats when required.
FormItems can no longer be constructed directly.

Instead of constructing as FormItems(string), construct as FormItems::from(string).
from_from_string(&str) in FromForm removed in favor of from_form_items(&mut FormItems).

Most implementation should be using FormItems internally; simply use the passed in FormItems. In other cases, the form string can be retrieved via the inner_str method of FormItems.
Config::{set, default_for} are deprecated.

Use the set_{param} methods instead of set, and new or build in place of default_for.
Route paths must be absolute.

Prepend a / to convert a relative path into an absolute one.
Route paths cannot contain empty segments.

Remove any empty segments, including trailing ones, from a route path.

Bug Fixes

A couple of bugs were fixed in this release:

Handlebars partials were not properly registered (#122).
Rocket::custom did not set the custom configuration as the active configuration.
Route path segments containing more than one dynamic parameter were allowed.

General Improvements

In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following smaller improvements:

Rocket no longer overwrites a catcher's response status.
The port Config type is now a proper u16.
Clippy issues injected by codegen are resolved.
Handlebars was updated to 0.25.

SVG was added as a known Content-Type.
Serde was updated to 0.9.
Form parse failure now results in a 422 error code.
Tera has been updated to 0.7.
pub(crate) is used throughout to enforce visibility rules.
