CHANGELOG

0.8.0 (Unreleased)

0.7.1

• deps and patches

0.7.0

Important Changes

• Breaking: hyper-1.0 for both server and client modules.
• Breaking: Remove override_host option in upstream options. Add a reverse option, i.e., keep_original_host, and the similar option set_upstream_host. While keep_original_host can be explicitly specified, rpxy keeps the original host given by the incoming request by default. Then, the original host header is maintained or added from the value of url request line. If host header needs to be overridden with the upstream host name (backend uri's host name), set_upstream_host has to be set. If both of set_upstream_host and keep_original_host are set, keep_original_host is prioritized since it is explicitly specified.
• Breaking: Introduced native-tls-backend feature to use the native TLS engine to access backend applications.
• Breaking: Changed the policy of the default cert store from webpki to the system-native store. Thus we terminated the feature native-roots and introduced webpki-roots feature to use webpki root cert store.

Improvement

• Redesigned: Cache structure is totally redesigned with more memory-efficient way to read from cache file, and more secure way to strongly bind memory-objects with files with hash values.
• Redesigned: HTTP body handling flow is also redesigned with more memory-and-time efficient techniques without putting the whole objects on memory by using futures::stream::Stream and futures::channel::mpsc
• Feat: Allow to disable/enable forced-connection-timeout regardless of connection status (idle or not). [default: disabled]
• Refactor: lots of minor improvements

0.6.2

Improvement

• Feat: Add a build feature of native-roots to use the system's default root cert store.
• Feat: Add binary release in addition to container release
• Refactor: lots of minor improvements

0.6.1

Bugfix

• Fix: fix a "watch" bug for docker. Due to a docker limitation, we need to mount a dir, e.g, /rpxy/config, instead of a file, rpxy.toml, to track changes of the configuration file. We thus updated a start up script in docker container for the case "WATCH=true".

0.6.0

Improvement

• Feat: Enabled h2c (HTTP/2 cleartext) requests to upstream app servers (in the previous versions, only HTTP/1.1 is allowed for cleartext requests)
• Feat: Initial implementation of caching feature using file + on memory cache. (Caveats: No persistance of the cache. Once config is updated, the cache is totally eliminated.)
• Refactor: lots of minor improvements

Bugfix

• Fix: fix server in the response header (rpxy_lib -> rpxy)
• Fix: fix bug for hot-reloading configuration file (Add termination notification receiver in proxy services)

0.5.0

Improvement

• Feat: s2n-quic with s2n-quic-h3 is supported as QUIC and HTTP/3 library in addition to quinn with h3-quinn, related to #57.
• Feat: Publish dockerfile for rpxy with s2n-quic on both amd64 and arm64.
• Feat: Start to publish docker images on ghcr.io
• Refactor: logs of minor improvements

0.4.0

Improvement

• Feat: Continuous watching on a specified config file and hot-reloading the file when updated
• Feat: Enabled to specify TCP listen backlog in the config file
• Feat: Add a GitHub action to build arm64 docker image.
• Bench: Add benchmark result on amd64 architecture.
• Refactor: Split rpxy into rpxy-lib and rpxy-bin
• Refactor: lots of minor improvements

Bugfix

• Fix bug to apply default backend application

0.3.0

Improvement

• HTTP/3 Deps: Update h3 with quinn-0.10 or higher. But changed their crates from crates.io to git submodule as a part of work around. I think this will be back to crates.io in a near-future update.
• Load Balancing: Implement the session persistance function for load balancing using sticky cookie (initial implementation). Enabled in default-features.
• Docker UID:GID: Update Dockerfiles to allow arbitrary UID and GID (non-root users) for rpxy. Now they can be set as you like by specifying through env vars.
• Refactor: Various minor improvements

0.2.0

Improvement

• Update docker of nightly built from develop branch along with amd64-slim and amd64 images with latest and latest:slim tags built from main branch. nightly image is based on amd64.
• Update h3 with quinn-0.10 or higher.
• Implement path replacing option for each reverse proxy backend group.
