v1.4.0: Features, Features Everywhere, and not a bug to fix
There's a bumper crop of new features this month. Share and enjoy!
Deprecations
* Rack::AcceptFormat is slated for removal in rack-contrib 2.0.0 (due on or
after 1 January, 2016. Using this middleware will now result in a
deprecation warning being printed to stderr. If you use this middleware, now
would be a good time to start doing things properly.
Features
* Rack::LazyConditionalGet: new middleware, by Mig. This middleware tracks
when the last POST/PUT/DELETE request was made, and returns 304 responses to
requests which include a Last-Modified entity request header which is
greater than or equal to that time.
* Rack::StaticCache: You can now specify a custom "version" regex for your
cache invalidation, if the default doesn't do it for you. Initial patch
provided by Eric Boehs.
* Rack::Profiler: You can now run a single request through the profiler
multiple times, by adding the profiler_runs query parameter to the
URL. Patch provided by Bryce McDonnell.
