0.12.1 - 2014/04/18

• fix: return the full body on closed connections.
• fix: make sure to always pass the Host header.

0.12.0 - 2014/04/18

• improvement: URI encoding is now fully normalized.
• improvement: TCP_NODELAY is now available by default for all transports
• improvements: IDNA parsing is only done during the normalization which makes all the connections faster..
• fix: connections options are now correctly passed to the transports.
• fix: HTTP proxying. make sure we reuse the connection
• fix: HTTP proxying, only resolve the proxy domain.
• bump hackney_lib to 0.3.0

Breaking change:

the mimetypes has been replaced by the hackney_mimetypes module. It makes content-type detection a little more efficient. In the process the functions hackney_util:content_type/1 and hackney_bstr:content_type/1 has been removed. You should now use the function hackney_mimetypes:filename/1 .

0.11.2 - 2014/04/15

• new improved and more performant IDNA support
• make sure the socket is closed when we skip the body if needed
• fix multipart EOF parsing
• make sure we finish a multipart stream
• bump hackney_lib to 0.2.5
• enable TCP_NODELAY by default. (To disable, pass the option {nodelay, false} to connect_options`.

0.11.1 - 2014/03/03

• improvement: speed IDNA domains handing
• fix http proxy via CONNECT
• fix: encode the path
• bump to hackney_lib 0.2.4

0.11.0 - 2014/03/02

• add hackney:location/1 to get the final location
• make hackney_request:send/2 more efficient
• fix socket removing in the pool
• fix HTTP proxying
• support IDNA hostnames

0.10.1 - 2013/12/30

• fix multipart file header
• improve the performance when sending a {multipart, Parts} body. Send it as a stream.
• bump hackney_lib version to 0.2.2

0.10.0 - 2013/12/29

• improve multipart handling: With this change, we can now calculate the full multipart stream content-length using hackney_multipart:len_mp_stream/2 .
• add hackney:setopts/2 to set options to a request when reusing it.
• add hackney:send_reques/3 to pass new options to a request.
• add the {stream_to, Pid} setting to a request to send the messages from an asynchronous response to another PID.
• fix Host header: some server do not comply well with the spec and fail to parse the port when they are listening on 80 or 443. This change fix it.
• fix: make sure we are re-using connections with asynchronous responses.

Breaking changes:

• All messages from an async response are now under the format {hackney_response, Ref, ... } to distinct hackney messages from others in a process easily.
• You can only make an async response at a time. Ie if you are are doing a persistent request (reusing the same reference) you will need to pass the async option again to the request. For that purpose the functions hackney:send_request/3 and hackney:setopts/2 have been added.
• multipart messages have changed. See the documentation for more information.

0.9.1 - 2013/12/20

• fix response multipart processing

0.9.0 - 2013/12/19

• breaking change: use hackney_lib a web toolkit to handle the HTTP protocol and other manipulations.
• optimization: send body and headers together when it is possible
• fix release handling

0.8.3 - 2013/12/07

• add: support redirection in async responses
• improve hackney_url:make_url/3

0.8.0 - 2013/12/02

major release. With this release the API will not evolve much until the 1.0 release sometimes in january.

• breaking change: remove hackney:close_stream/1 function. You only need to use hackney:close/1 now.
• breaking change: rename hackney:raw/1 function to hackney:cancel_request/1.
• breaking change: the hakney pool handler based on dispcount is now available in its own repository so hackney doe not depends on dispcount.
• fix: canceling and closing a request now make sure the async response process is killed.
• fix: make sure we pass a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header when we send a body without content-length.
