News
We are back! A whole lot going on recently, most importantly Vapor 3 is tagged 🎉🎉🎉.
New Features
Add ContentTag
Additional overloads to req.content.encode(...) were added. These allow for custom coders to be passed in as needed.
Add support for parsing header value params without =
Useful for parsing cookies
Add types for working with MIME
Added MediaType, HeaderValue, CaseInsensitiveString and File for content-type.
Add ‘NestedData’ protocol
Adds NestedData: a data structure containing arbitrarily nested arrays and dictionaries
Add Thread.async(_:) method
Runs the supplied closure on a new thread. Calls Thread.detachNewThread(_:)
Adds Data Coders
A type capable of decoding Decodabletypes from Data.
Add a new future debug
Add debugging to future creation
Add a migration function name
Adds the ability to name migrations and to create migrations easily by just adding a closure

NIO
Optimize for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 responses
Motivation:
Its very likely that the response will be HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0 so we can optimize for it by minimizing the buffer.write(…) calls. Beside this we should also change the pattern of *.write(into: inout ByteBuffer) to extension on ByteBuffer itself.
Modifications:
- Optimize for HTTP/1.0 and 1.1
- Use extensions on ByteBuffer
Result:
Faster and more clean code.
Add support for automatic HTTP error reporting
Motivation:
Currently the HTTP decoders can throw errors, but they will be ignored and lead to a simple EOF. That’s not ideal: in most cases we should make a best-effort attempt to send a 4XX error code before we shut the client down.
Modifications:
Provided a new ChannelHandler that generates 400 errors when the HTTP decoder fails. Added a flag to automatically add that handler to the channel pipeline. Added the handler to the HTTP sample server. Enabled integration test 12.
Result:
Easier error handling for HTTP servers.
