- Adds support for smarter handling of html output types
- Adds a UUID type
- Adds support for explicit API creation / referencing using `hug.api(__name__)`
- Adds a logging middleware to simplify the process of logging all requests with hug
- Adds a `middleware_class` class decorator, to enable quickly registering middleware classes
- Adds `smart_redirection` allowing API functions to return other endpoints
- Adds support for class based handlers
- Adds support for automatically handling exceptions
- Adds support for automatically outputting images with `save` method that don't take a format.
- Added extended support for delimited fields, enabling use of custom delimiters
- Added support for running different transformers based on content_type
- Added support for outputting a different response output type based on the response content_type
- Added support for running different transformations and outputting different content_types based on path suffix
- Added support for automatically supporting a set of suffixes at the end of a URL
- Added support for automatically adding headers based on route match
- Added support for quickly adding cache header based on route match
- Added support for quickly adding allow origin header based on route match
- Added support for quickly re-routing to defined 404 handler
- Added support for length based types (`length`, `shorter_than`, and `longer_than`)
- Added support for easily extending hugs JSON outputter with support for custom types
- Added support for a custom final pass validation function
- Added support for defining routes separate from handlers
- Added support for raising on validation errors - to enable overall exception handlers to catch them
- Added support for multiple transformers on an endpoint via `transform.all`
- Added support for applying type annotations and directives locally with hug.local()
- Added support for a base_url by doing `hug.API(__name__).http.base_url = '/base_url'`
- Added support for automatically running CLI commands from hug command line runner
- Added requirements to documentation
- Updated all default output formats to gracefully handle error dictionaries
- Documentation generation was moved to API instances to enable easier customization
- Now correctly identifies and handles custom encodings
- Improved integration with Falcon so that primary elements (like status codes) can be imported directly from hug
- Added the ability to specify a transformer for validation errors per request handler, via `on_invalid` decorator argument
- Added the ability to specify an output format specific to validation errors per request handler, via `output_invalid` decorator argument
- Changed transform functions to get ran on output of validation errors by default
- Automatically works around a bug in uwsgi when returning byte streams
- Refactored how interfaces are built to be more reasuable, and more easily introspected
- Refactored how the built in annotation types are built to be more easily built upon
- Updated type.string to fail if a list is passed in
- Removed 'cli_behaviour' from types, instead moving the responsibility of per-type behavior to the CLI interface
- Fixed a bug that leaked annotation provided directives to the produced documentation
- Fully re-factored hug's type system for easier extensibility
- Breaking Changes
- directives are no longer automatically applied to local function calls, 'hug.local' must be used to apply them
- cli_behaviour has been removed as a type feature - however common sense inheritance of base types should easily replace it's usage
- documentation module has been removed, in favor of documentation being generated by the api object and individual interfaces
- API singleton now has sub-apis for each interface in use (IE hug.API(__name__).http and hug.API(__name__).cli)
- run module has been removed, with the functionality moved to hug.API(__name__).http.server() and the terminal functionality
being moved to hug.development_runner.hug
