v0.5.0

This release revamps the middleware system to support pre- and post-routing middleware, converting middleware exceptions to error responses, and specifying middleware using WebAppSettings.middleware. This release also adds a slew of middleware that are useful for web applications:

• useIsSecureRequestMiddleware - Record on request whether it was delivered via a secure channel.
• useHstsMiddleware - Inform browsers that your app should only be visited via HTTPS.
• useStaticFilesMiddleware - Serves static files.
• useRoutingMiddleware - Adds the ability to route a request to a handler. Must be used with and called before useHandlerMiddleware.
• useBrowserHardeningMiddleware - Harden the browser environment your web app is rendered in.
• useHandlerMiddleware - Calls a selected handler after routing. Must be used with and called after useRoutingMiddleware.

Static file handling has been moved to a middleware to allow for short-circuting the middleware chain when static files are requested.

v0.3.0

This release adds ergonomic control of logging settings via new WebAppSettings fields. Web apps now have an environment concept that describes where the app is being run. Logging can be configured separately for each environment. Multiple loggers can also be added per environment, each with their own log levels and formatting.

Additionally:

• We now ensure that fetched settings are read-only. Unprotected writes to settings does not sound like a good idea in a multi-threaded application.
• We corrected a bug in path/handler validation error messaging.
• We removed half-baked templating flexibility. The flag for adding template folders caused issues with picking up template changes during compilation.
• We added direct access to vibe.d settings in WebAppSetting. We don't want to hide that we're running on vibe.d so why unnecessarily wrap its settings?

What's Changed

• Add Ergonomic Control of Logging Settings by @kyleingraham in #6

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

• Middleware
• Settings management
