Changelog

Maintenance branches are merged before each new release. This change log is ordered chronologically, so each release contains all changes described below it.

v0.20.0-M4 (2018-12-05)

Consider the blaze-client beta and all other modules RC quality. Don’t forget there is a scalafix to assist migration from 0.18!

Bugfixes

• #2283: Fix client metrics bug that decremented active requests and recorded time before the resource was released.
• #2288: Stop leaking IdleTimeoutStages in the blaze client. They were not always removed properly, leading to multiple timeout stages remaining in a connection’s blaze pipeline.
• #2281: Fix ClassCastException on decode of an empty Chunk
• #2305: Correctly shut down the blaze-client

Enhancements

• #2275: Set default prefix for Prometheus and Dropwizard metrics backends.
• #2276: Make scalafix Github based instead of binary based
• #2285: Finish deprecating BlazeServer in favor of BlazeServerBuilder. The former’s internals are now expressed in terms of the latter.
• #2286: Improvements to scalafix
  • Fix withEntitywithEntity bug in migration
  • Migration to BlazeServerBuilder
  • Fix MessageSyntax#withBody
  • Import ResponseCookie instead of an alias to the old Cookie

Breaking changes

• #2228: Support more attributes for the response cookie in CSRF middleware. Configuration is now done through a builder, similar to backends.

v0.20.0-M2 (2018-11-05)

Bug fixes

• #2239: Fix hang when .allocate on a client builder fails

Breaking changes

• #2207: Remove PathNormalizer. The functionality is now on Uri.removeDotSegments.
• #2210: Streamline instances:
  • Http4s, Http4sInstances, and Http4sFunctions are deprecated
  • Move instances F[A] for cats type classes F into companions of A
  • Http4sDsl no longer mixes in UriFunctions
  • EntityEncoderInstances and EntityDecoderInstances are removed. The instances moved to the companion objects.
• #2243: Cleanup ServerBuilder defaults and traits
  • Make ServerBuilder private. The public server builders (e.g., BlazeServerBuilder) remain, but they no longer implement a public interface.
  • Remove IdleTimeoutSupport, AsyncTimeout, SSLKeyStoreSupport, SSLContextSupport, and WebSocketSupport traits. The properties remain on the public server builders.
  • Deprecated defaults on those support companion objects, in favor of org.http4s.server.defaults.
• #2063: Cancel request whenever a blaze server connection is shutdown.
• #2234: Clean up Message trait
  • Remove deprecated EffectMessageSyntax, EffectRequestSyntax, EffectResponseSyntax traits and associated objects
  • Remove MessageOps, RequestOps, and ResponseOps and put the removed methods, sans unneeded implicit parameters, directly in the classes

  • Add withoutAttribute and withoutTrailerHeaders to complement the with variants
  • Correct filterHeaders’ scaladoc comment, which described the opposite of the behavior
  • Fix bug in withoutContentType

Enhancements

• #2205: Add new ResponseTiming middleware, which adds a header to the Response as opposed to full MetricsOps.
• #2222: Add shutdownTimeout property to JettyBuilder. Shutdown of the server waits for existing connections to complete for up to this duration before a hard shutdown with a TimeoutException.
• #2227: Add withMaxHeaderLength setter to BlazeClientBuilder
• #2230: DefaultServerErrorHandler only handles NonFatal Throwables, instead of all Throwables that aren’t VirtualMachineErrors
• #2237: Support parsing cookies with trailing semi-colons. This is invalid per spec, but seen often in the wild.
• #1687: Add a modeled Link header.
• #2244: Refactor blaze-server idle timeout
  • Quiet Abnormal NIO1HeadStage termination\njava.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Timeout of 30 seconds triggered. Killing pipeline. error logging, even on idling persistent connections. This is reduced to a debug log.
  • Use a TickWheelExecutor resource per blaze-server instead of a global that does not shut down when the server does.

Bug fixes

• #2239: Fix hang when .allocate on a client builder fails
• #2214: Add a scalafix from http4s-0.18.20 to 0.20.0-M2. See upgrading for instructions.

v0.20.0-M1 (2018-10-27)

Due to the inadvertent release of 0.19.0, we have opened a new minor version. The stable release with MiMa enforcement will be v0.20.0.

Breaking changes

• #2159: Add a responseHeaderTimeout property to BlazeServerBuilder. Responses that timeout are completed with Response.timeout, which defaults to 503 Service Unavailable. BlazeServerBuilder now requires a Timer[F].
• #2177: Deprecate org.http4s.syntax.async, which was not directly relevant to HTTP.
• #2131: Refactor server metrics
  • http4s-server-metrics module merged into http4s-dropwizard-metrics

Enhancements

• #2159: Set default client request timeout to 1 minute
• #2163: Add mapK to Request and Response
• #2168: Add allocate to client builders
• #2174: Refactor the blaze-client timeout architecture.
  • A TickWheelExecutor is now allocated per client, instead of globally.
  • Request rendering and response parsing is now canceled more aggressively on timeout.
• #2184: Receive response concurrently with sending request in blaze client. This reduces waste when the server is not interested in the entire request body.
• #2190: Add channelOptions to blaze-client to customize socket options.

Bug fixes

• #2166: Fix request timeout calculation in blaze-client to resolve “Client response header timeout after 0 millseconds” error.
• #2189: Manage the TickWheelTimer as a resource instead of an F[A, F[Unit]]. This prevents a leak in (extremely unlikely) cases of cancellation.

Internal

v0.19.0-M2 (2018-09-07)

Breaking changes

• #1802: Race servlet requests against the AsyncContext.timeout. JettyBuilder and TomcatBuilder now require a ConcurrentEffect instance.

  • OkHttp renamed to OkHttpBuilder. The client now created from an OkHttpClient instance instead of an F[OkHttpClient.Builder]. A default client can be created as a Resource through OkHttp.default.
  • Fallout from removal of fs2.Segment
  • EntityDecoder.collectBinary now decodes a Chunk
  • EntityDecoder.binaryChunk deprecated
  • SegmentWriter is removed
  • Changes to:
    • ChunkWriters in blaze rewritten

  • Jetty and Tomcat builders use their native executor types instead of shifting onto an ExecutionContext. Accordingly, ServletBuilder#withExecutionContext is removed.
  • AsyncHttp4sServlet and ServletContextSyntax now default to non-blocking I/O. No startup check is made against the servlet version, which failed classloading on an older servlet container. Neither takes an ExeuctionContext parameter anymore.
  • Removed deprecated StreamApp aliases. fs2.StreamApp is removed and replaced by cats.effect.IOApp, monix.eval.TaskApp, or similar.
  • Removed deprecated ServerApp.
  • EntityLimiter middleware now requires an ApplicativeError
• #2054: blaze-server builder changes
  • BlazeBuilder deprecated for BlazeServerBuilder
  • BlazeServerBuidler has a single withHttpApp(HttpApp) in place of zero-to-many calls mountService(HttpRoutes).
  • This change makes it possible to mount an HttpApp wrapped in a Logger middleware, which only supports HttpApp
  • Call .orNotFound, from org.http4s.implicits._, to cap an HttpRoutes as HttpApp

• Make abnormal-terminations and service-errors Metrics names plural. #1611
• Refactor blaze client creation. #1523
  • Http1Client.apply returns F[Client[F]]
  • Http1Client.stream returns Stream[F, Client[F]], bracketed to shut down the client.
  • PooledHttp1Client constructor is deprecated, replaced by the above.
  • SimpleHttp1Client is deprecated with no direct equivalent. Use Http1Client.
• Improve client timeout and wait queue handling
  • requestTimeout and responseHeadersTimeout begin from the submission of the request. This includes time spent in the wait queue of the pool. #1570

v0.18.0-M6 (2017-12-08)

• Tested on Java 9.
• Message.withContentType now takes a Content-Type instead of an Option[`Content-Type`]. withContentTypeOption takes an Option, and withoutContentType clears it.
• QValue has an HttpCodec instance
• AuthMiddleware never falls through. See #1530 for more.
• ContentCoding is no longer a Registry, but has an HttpCodec instance.
• Render a banner on server startup. Customize by calling withBanner(List[String]) or withoutBanner on the ServerBuilder.

• Add handleError, handleErrorWith, bimap, biflatMap, transform, and transformWith to EntityDecoder.
• org.http4s.util.StreamApp and org.http4s.util.ExitCode are deprecated in favor of fs2.StreamApp and fs2.StreamApp.ExitCode, based on what was in http4s.
• Dependency upgrades:
  • fs2-0.10.0-M9
  • fs2-reactive-streams-0.2.6

• Dependency upgrades:
  • tomcat-8.5.24

v0.16.6 (2017-12-04)

• Add a CSRF server middleware
• Fix NullPointerException when starting a Tomcat server related to docBase
• Log version info and server address on server startup
• Dependency upgrades:
  • jetty-9.4.8.v20171121
  • log4s-1.4.0
  • scalaz-7.2.17
  • twirl-1.3.13

v0.18.0-M5 (2017-11-02)

• Introduced an HttpCodec type class that represents a type that can round trip to and from a String. Uri.Scheme and TransferCoding are the first implementors, with more to follow. Added an HttpCodecLaws to http4s-testing.
• Uri.Scheme is now its own type instead of a type alias.
• TransferCoding is no longer a case class. Its coding member is now a String, not a CaseInsensitiveString. Its companion is no longer a Registry.
• Introduced org.http4s.syntax.literals, which contains a StringContext forAll safely constructing a Uri.Scheme. More will follow.
• org.http4s.util.StreamApp.ExitCode moved to org.http4s.util.ExitCode
• Changed AuthService[F[_], T] to AuthService[T, F[_]] to support partial unification when combining services as a SemigroupK.
• Unseal the MessageFailure hierarchy. Previous versions of http4s had a GenericParsingFailure, GenericDecodeFailure, and GenericMessageBodyFailure. This was not compatible with the parameterized effect introduced in v0.18. Now, MessageFailure is unsealed, so users wanting precise control over the default toHttpResponse can implement their own failure conditions.
• MessageFailure now has an Option[Throwable] cause.
• Removed KleisliInstances. The SemigroupK[Kleisli[F, A, ?]] is now provided by cats. Users should no longer need to import org.http4s.implicits._ to get <+> composition of HttpServices
• NonEmptyList extensions moved from org.http4s.util.nonEmptyList to org.http4s.syntax.nonEmptyList.
• There is a classpath difference in log4s version between blaze and http4s in this milestone that will be remedied in M6. We believe these warnings are safe.
• Dependency upgrades:
  • cats-1.0.0-RC1
  • fs2-0.10.0-M8
  • fs2-reactive-streams-0.2.5

v0.18.0-M4 (2017-10-12)

• Syntax for building requests moved from org.http4s.client._ to org.http4s.client.dsl.Http4sClientDsl[F], with concrete type IO available as org.http4s.client.dsl.io._. This is consistent with http4s-dsl for servers.
• Change StreamApp to return a Stream[F, ExitCode]. The first exit code returned by the stream is the exit code of the JVM. This allows custom exit codes, and eases dead code warnings in certain constructions that involved mapping over Nothing.
• AuthMiddleware.apply now takes an Kleisli[OptionT[F, ?], Request[F], T] instead of a Kleisli[F, Request[F], T].
• Set Content-Type header on default NotFound response.
• Merges from v0.16.5 and v0.17.5.
• Remove mutable map that backs Method registry. All methods in the IANA registry are available through Method.all. Custom methods should be memoized by other means.
• Adds an EntityDecoder[F, Array[Byte]] and EntityDecoder[F, Array[Char]] for symmetry with provided EntityEncoder instances.
• Adds Arbitrary instances for Headers, EntityBody[F] (currently just single chunk), Entity[F], and EntityEncoder[F, A].
• Adds EntityEncoderLaws for EntityEncoder.
• Adds EntityCodecLaws. “EntityCodec” is not a type in http4s, but these laws relate an EntityEncoder[F, A] to an EntityDecoder[F, A].
• There is a classpath difference in log4s version between blaze and http4s in this milestone that will be remedied in M6. We believe these warnings are safe.

v0.17.5 (2017-10-12)

• Merges only.

v0.16.5 (2017-10-11)

• Correctly implement sanitization of dot segments in static file paths according to RFC 3986 5.2.4. Most importantly, this fixes an issue where ... is reinterpreted as .. and can escape the root of the static file service.

v0.18.0-M3 (2017-10-04)

• Merges only.
• There is a classpath difference in log4s version between blaze and http4s in this milestone that will be remedied in M6. We believe these warnings are safe.

v0.17.4 (2017-10-04)

• Fix reading of request body in non-blocking servlet backend. It was previously only reading the first byte of each chunk.
• Dependency upgrades:
  • fs2-reactive-streams-0.1.1

v0.16.4 (2017-10-04)

• Backport removal java.xml.bind dependency from GZip middleware, to play more nicely with Java 9.
• Dependency upgrades:
  • metrics-core-3.2.5
  • tomcat-8.0.23
  • twirl-1.3.12

v0.18.0-M2 (2017-10-03)

• Use http4s-dsl with any effect type by either:
  • extend Http4sDsl[F]
  • create an object that extends Http4sDsl[F], and extend that.
  • import org.http4s.dsl.io._ is still available for those who wish to specialize on cats.effect.IO
• Remove Semigroup[F[MaybeResponse[F]]] constraint from BlazeBuilder.
• Fix AutoSlash middleware when a service is mounted with a prefix.
• Publish internal http4s-parboiled2 as a separate module. This does not add any new third-party dependencies, but unbreaks sbt publishLocal.
• Add Request.from, which respects X-Fowarded-For header.
• Make F in EffectMessageSyntax invariant
• Add message.decodeJson[A] syntax to replace awkward message.as(implicitly, jsonOf[A]). Brought into scope by importing one of the following, based on your JSON library of choice.
  • import org.http4s.argonaut._
  • import org.http4s.circe._
  • import org.http4s.json4s.jackson._
  • import org.http4s.json4s.native._
• AsyncHttpClient.apply no longer takes a bufferSize. It is made irrelevant by fs2-reactive-streams.
• MultipartParser.parse no longer takes a headerLimit, which was unused.
• Add maxWaitQueueLimit (default 256) and maxConnectionsPerRequestKey (default 10) to PooledHttp1Client.
• Remove private implicit ExecutionContext from StreamApp. This had been known to cause diverging implicit resolution that was hard to debug.
• Shift execution of the routing of the HttpService to the ExecutionContext provided by the JettyBuilder or TomcatBuilder. Previously, it only shifted the response task and stream. This was a regression from v0.16.
• Add two utility execution contexts. These may be used to increase throughput as the server builder’s ExecutionContext. Blocking calls on routing may decrease fairness or even deadlock your service, so use at your own risk:
  • org.http4s.util.execution.direct
  • org.http4s.util.execution.trampoline
• Deprecate EffectRequestSyntax and EffectResponseSyntax. These were previously used to provide methods such as .putHeaders and .withBody on types F[Request] and F[Response]. As an alternative:
  • Call .map or .flatMap on F[Request] and F[Response] to get access to all the same methods.
  • Variadic headers have been added to all the status code generators in Http4sDsl[F] and method generators in import org.http4s.client._. For example:
  • POST(uri, urlForm, Header("Authorization", "Bearer s3cr3t"))
  • Ok("This will have an html content type!", `Content-Type`(`text/html`))
• Restate HttpService[F] as a Kleisli[OptionT[F, ?], Request[F], Response[F]].
• Similarly, AuthedService[F] as a Kleisli[OptionT[F, ?], AuthedRequest[F], Response[F]].
• MaybeResponse is removed, because the optionality is now expressed through the OptionT in HttpService. Instead of composing HttpService via a Semigroup, compose via a SemigroupK. Import org.http4s.implicits._ to get a SemigroupK[HttpService], and chain services as s1 <+> s2. We hope to remove the need for org.http4s.implicits._ in a future version of cats with issue 1428.
• The Service type alias is deprecated in favor of Kleisli. It used to represent a partial application of the first type parameter, but since version 0.18, it is identical to `Kleisli.
• HttpService.lift, AuthedService.lift are deprecated in favor of Kleisli.apply.
• Remove java.xml.bind dependency from GZip middleware to avoid an extra module dependency in Java 9.
• Upgraded dependencies:
  • jawn-fs2-0.12.0-M2
  • log4s-1.4.0
• There is a classpath difference in log4s version between blaze and http4s in this milestone that will be remedied in M6. We believe these warnings are safe.

v0.17.3 (2017-10-02)

• Shift execution of HttpService to the ExecutionContext provided by the BlazeBuilder when using HTTP/2. Previously, it only shifted the response task and body stream.

v0.16.3 (2017-09-29)

• Fix java.io.IOException: An invalid argument was supplied on blaze-client for Windows when writing an empty sequence of ByteBuffers.
• Set encoding of captureWriter to UTF-8 instead of the platform default.
• Dependency upgrades:
  • blaze-0.12.9

v0.17.2 (2017-09-25)

• Remove private implicit strategy from StreamApp. This had been known to cause diverging implicit resolution that was hard to debug.
• Shift execution of HttpService to the ExecutionContext provided by the BlazeBuilder. Previously, it only shifted the response stream. This was a regression from 0.16.
• Split off http4s-parboiled2 module as "org.http4s" %% "parboiled". There are no externally visible changes, but this simplifies and speeds the http4s build.

v0.16.2 (2017-09-25)

• Dependency patch upgrades:
  • async-http-client-2.0.37
  • blaze-0.12.8: changes default number of selector threads to from 2 * cores + 1 to max(4, cores + 1).
  • jetty-9.4.7.v20170914
  • tomcat-8.5.21
  • twirl-1.3.7

v0.17.1 (2017-09-17)

• Fix bug where metrics were not captured in Metrics middleware.
• Pass redactHeadersWhen argument from Logger to RequestLogger and ResponseLogger.

v0.16.1 (2017-09-17)

• Publish our fork of parboiled2 as http4s-parboiled2 module. It’s the exact same internal code as was in http4s-core, with no external dependencies. By publishing an extra module, we enable a publishLocal workflow.
• Charset fixes:
  • Deprecate CharsetRange.isSatisfiedBy in favor of and Accept-Charset`.isSatisfiedBy`` in favor of Accept-Charset.satisfiedBy`.
  • Fix definition of satisfiedBy to respect priority of `Charset`.*.
  • Add CharsetRange.matches.
• ContentCoding fixes:
  • Deprecate ContentCoding.satisfiedBy and ContentCoding.satisfies in favor of `Accept-Encoding`.satisfiedBy.
  • Deprecate `Accept-Encoding`.preferred, which has no reasonable interpretation in the presence of splats.
  • Add `Accept-Language`.qValue.
  • Fix definition of satisfiedBy to respect priority of ContentCoding.*.
  • Add ContentCoding.matches and ContentCoding.registered.
  • Add Arbitrary[ContentCoding] and `Arbitrary[`Accept-Encoding`] instances.
• LanguageTag fixes:
  • Deprecate LanguageTag.satisfiedBy and LanguageTag.satisfies in favor of `Accept-Language`.satisfiedBy.
  • Fix definition of satisfiedBy to respect priority of LanguageTag.* and matches of a partial set of subtags.
  • Add LanguageTag.matches.
  • Deprecate LanguageTag.withQuality in favor of new LanguageTag.withQValue.
  • Deprecate `Accept-Language`.preferred, which has no reasonable interpretation in the presence of splats.
  • Add `Accept-Language`.qValue.
  • Add Arbitrary[LanguageTag] and `Arbitrary[`Accept-Language`] instances.

v0.17.0 (2017-09-01)

• Honor Retry-After header in Retry middleware. The response will not be retried until the maximum of the backoff strategy and any time specified by the Retry-After header of the response.
• The RetryPolicy.defaultRetriable only works for methods guaranteed to not have a body. In fs2, we can’t introspect the stream to guarantee that it can be rerun. To retry requests for idempotent request methods, use RetryPolicy.unsafeRetriable. To retry requests regardless of method, use RetryPolicy.recklesslyRetriable.
• Fix Logger middleware to render JSON bodies as text, not as a hex dump.
• MultipartParser.parse returns a stream of ByteVector instead of a stream of Byte. This perserves chunking when parsing into the high-level EntityDecoder[Multipart], and substantially improves performance on large files. The high-level API is not affected.

v0.16.0 (2017-09-01)

• Retry middleware takes a RetryPolicy instead of a backoff strategy. A RetryPolicy is a function of the request, the response, and the number of attempts. Wrap the previous backoff in RetryPolicy {} for compatible behavior.
• Expose a Part.fileData constructor that accepts an EntityBody.

v0.17.0-RC3 (2017-08-29)

• In blaze-server, when doing chunked transfer encoding, flush the header as soon as it is available. It previously buffered until the first chunk was available.

v0.16.0-RC3 (2017-08-29)

• Add a responseHeaderTimeout property to BlazeClientConfig. This measures the time between the completion of writing the request body to the reception of a complete response header.
• Upgraded dependencies:
  • async-http-client-2.0.35

v0.18.0-M1 (2017-08-24)

This release is the product of a long period of parallel development across different foundation libraries, making a detailed changelog difficult. This is a living document, so if any important points are missed here, please send a PR.

The most important change in http4s-0.18 is that the effect type is parameterized. Where previous versions were specialized on scalaz.concurrent.Task or fs2.Task, this version supports anything with a cats.effect.Effect instance. The easiest way to port an existing service is to replace your Task with cats.effect.IO, which has a similar API and is already available on your classpath. If you prefer to bring your own effect, such as monix.eval.Task or stick to scalaz.concurrent.Task or put a transformer on IO, that’s fine, too!

The parameterization chanages many core signatures throughout http4s: - Request and Response become Request[F[_]] and Response[F[_]]. The F is the effect type of the body (i.e., Stream[F, Byte]), or what the body .runs to. - HttpService becomes HttpService[F[_]], so that the service returns an F[Response[F]]. Instead of constructing with HttpService { ... }, we now declare the effect type of the service, like HttpService[IO] { ... }. This determines the type of request and response handled by the service. - EntityEncoder[A] and EntityDecoder[A] are now EntityEncoder[F[_], A] and EntityDecoder[F[_], A], respectively. These act as a codec for Request[F] and Response[F]. In practice, this change tends to be transparent in the DSL. - The server builders now take an F parameter, which needs to match the services mounted to them. - The client now takes an F parameter, which determines the requests and responses it handles.

Several dependencies are upgraded: - cats-1.0.0.MF - circe-0.9.0-M1 - fs2-0.10.0-M6 - fs2-reactive-streams-0.2.2 - jawn-fs2-0.12.0-M1

v0.17.0-RC2 (2017-08-24)

v0.16.0-RC2 (2017-08-24)

• Move http4s-blaze-core from org.http4s.blaze to org.http4s.blazecore to avoid a conflict with the non-http4s blaze-core module.
• Change ServiceOps to operate on a Service[?, MaybeResponse]. Give it an orNotFound that returns a Service. The orNotFound(a: A) overload is left for compatibility with Scala 2.10.
• Build with Lightbend compiler instead of Typelevel compiler so we don’t expose org.typelevel dependencies that are incompatible with ntheir counterparts in org.scala-lang.
• Upgraded dependencies:
  • blaze-0.12.7 (fixes eviction notice in http4s-websocket)
  • twirl-1.3.4

• Add HSTS middleware
• Add option to serve pre-gzipped resources
• Add RequestLogging and ResponseLogging middlewares
• StaticFile options return OptionT[Task, ?]
• Set Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding: chunked header when serving from a URL

• Limit dates to a minimum of January 1, 1900, per RFC.
• Add serviceErrorHandler to ServerBuilder to allow pluggable error handlers when a server backend receives a failed task or a thrown Exception when invoking a service. The default calls toHttpResponse on MessageFailure and closes the connection with a 500 InternalServerError on other non-fatal errors. Fatal errors are left to the server.
• FollowRedirect does not propagate sensitive headers when redirecting to a different authority.
• Add Content-Length header to empty response generators
