v0.7.2

• fix a panic when redirecting and a Authorization<Basic> header was added (cf246d0)
• fix redirects so that a GET will follow 307/308 responses (2d11a4b)

v0.7.1

• fix remove accidental printlns in the sending of a body
• some documentation improvements

v0.7.0

Features

• Proxy support (#30)
• Self-signed TLS certificates (#97)
• Disabling TLS hostname validation ⚠️ (#89)
• A Request type that can be used instead of the RequestBuilder (#85)
• Add Response::error_for_status() to easily convert 400 and 500 status responses into an Error (#98)
• Upgrade hyper to 0.11
  • Synchronous Client remains.
  • Timeouts now affect DNS and socket connection.
  • Pool much better at evicting sockets when they die.
  • An unstable Cargo feature to enable reqwest::unstable::async.
• A huge docs improvement!

Fixes

• Publicly exports RedirectAction and RedirectAttempt
• Error::get_ref returns Error + Send + Sync

Breaking Changes

• hyper has been upgraded to 0.11, so header, StatusCode, and Method have breaking changes.
• mime has been ugpraded to 0.3, with a very different API.
• All configuration methods have been removed from the Client, and moved to the ClientBuilder.
• The HttpVersion type was completely removed.
• Error::cause() now returns Error::get_ref().cause().
• All methods on Client that start a RequestBuilder now return a Result immediately, instead of delaying the URL parse error for later.
• The RequestBuilder methods all take &mut self, instead of moving the builder, and return &mut Self. (This shouldn't actually affect most people who are building a request in a single chain.)
• Response::status() returns a StatusCode instead of &StatusCode.

v0.6.2

• adds Client::referer(bool) option to disable setting the Referer header during redirects (bafcd7a)

• documentation updates

v0.6.1

• adds Error::get_ref to get the underlying error that may have occurred. Includes a 'static bounds, which allows for downcasting (as opposed to Error::cause).

v0.6.0

Features

• Upgraded to serde 1.0
• Added a url method to Error, which returns a possible associated Url that occurred with this error.
• Added req.basic_auth(user, optional_pass) method to ease using Basic authentication.

Breaking Changes

• The publicly exposed peer dependency serde was upgraded. It is now serde@1.0. Mismatched version will give a compiler error that a serde trait is not implemented.
• Error is no longer an enum, but an opaque struct. Details about it can be checked with std::error::Error::cause(), and methods on reqwest::Error include is_http(), is_serialization(), and is_redirect().
• RedirectPolicy::custom receives different arguments, and returns different values. See the docs for an example.

v0.5.2

• fix panic with Gzip decoder on an empty body #82

v0.5.1

Features

• add Clone implementation for Client

v0.5.0

Features

• Automatic GZIP decoding: By default, Client will try to decode any responses that appear to be gzip encoded (based on headers). This can be disabled via client.gzip(false) (ab5e477)
• Specify a timeout for requests using client.timeout(duration). (ec049fe)
• Request bodies with a known length can be constructed with Body::sized() (82f1877)
• Add Client.put, Client.patch, and Client.delete convenience methods (c37b8aa, 4d6582d, a3983f3)
• Add reqwest::mime (0615c6d)

Breaking Changes

The only breaking change is a behavioral one, all programs should still compile without modification. The automatic GZIP decoding could interfere in cases where a user was expecting the GZIP bytes, either to save to a file or decode themselves. To restore this functionality, set client.gzip(false).

Thanks

All features were from these contributors, so thanks!
