5.0.0-alpha-001

• Only supported target framework is .NET Core 3.1 (in preparation for .NET 5)
• Added System.Text.Json serializer
• Added Giraffe.EndpointRouting namespace with a super early alpha version of new routing handlers which integrate with ASP.NET Core's endpoint routing API (check out the EndpointRoutingApp sample app for examples before the documentation is ready)
• Removed Giraffe.GiraffeViewEngine (in preparation to distribute it as a separate NuGet package, which doesn't exist yet). This release has no GiraffeViewEngine which is one of the reasons why it's an alpha-001 release. Plans are to bring it back in 5.0.0-alpha-002
• New JsonOnlyNegotiationConfig for setting a content negotiation which only supports JSON serialisation and not XML
• Improved RegEx http handlers in original (non Endpoint routing) http handlers
• Added SystemTextJsonSerializer which uses System.Text.Json for JSON serialisation when configured as the desired JSON serializer in Giraffe

4.1.0

• Removed redundant dependencies
• Fixed model binding for arrays (see #403)
• Fixed pre-condition bug for the If-Unmodified-Since HTTP header (see #402)
• Added netcoreapp3.1 support

4.0.1

Fixed dependency references for TFM netcoreapp3.0 projects.

4.0.0

Giraffe 4.0.0 has been tested against netcoreapp3.0 alongside netcoreapp2.1 and net461. All sample code has been upgraded to .NET Core 3.0 as well.

ATTENTION:

This release of Giraffe fixes a bug in the routef handler which would have previously matched a route too eagerly.

Before:

Route: /foo/bar/hello/world
routef: /foo/bar/%s
Match: true

Now:

Route: /foo/bar/hello/world
routef: /foo/bar/%s
Match: false

For more information please see issue #347.

New features

• Support array of 'T as a child in form binding
• Added a new DateTime extension method ToIsoString which produces a RFC3339 formatted string, and corrected the docs on the existing ToHtmlString extension method which actually produces a RFC822 formatted string.

Bug fixes and breaking changes

• Fixed routef to not match more than one URL path segment.

• Fixed the _ariaLabelledBy attribute in the GiraffeViewEngine

• Fixed case insensitive route handlers on Ubuntu

• Changed minimum version of Newtonsoft.Json to 11.0.2. This allows Giraffe to be compatible with Azure Functions.

• Renamed tryMatchInput to tryMatchInputExact and swapped the order of arguments so that the string value comes last

• Added new version of tryMatchInput which accepts MatchSettings record:

  type MatchMode =
      | Exact                // Will try to match entire string from start to end.
      | StartsWith           // Will try to match a substring. Subject string should start with test case.
      | EndsWith             // Will try to match a substring. Subject string should end with test case.
      | Contains             // Will try to match a substring. Subject string should contain test case.
  
  type MatchOptions = { IgnoreCase: bool; MatchMode: MatchMode; }

3.6.0

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in the subRouteCi http handler, which prevented nested sub routes to be case insensitive.

New features

• Added two new HttpContext extension methods to retrieve cookie and form values:
  • GetCookieValue (key : string)
  • GetFormValue (key : string)

3.5.1

Bug fixes

3.5.0

New features

• Updated all packages and framework library dependencies to .NET Core 2.2.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the _data attribute in the GiraffeViewEngine to accept a key and value parameter now.

3.4.0

Another quick minor release to push out the authorizeRequest http handler.

New features

• Added a new http handler called authorizeRequest to authorize a request based on a HttpContext -> bool predicate.
• Added a new http handler called authorizeUser which is an alias for evaluateUserPolicy. The evaluateUserPolicy handler will be removed in the next major release.

3.3.0

Minor release to publish a couple feature requests:

New features

• Added str as an alias for the encodedText function from the GiraffeViewEngine.
