Full Changelog: v1.8.0...v1.8.1

v1.8.0 addresses a minor regression with the variable extraction when using a wildcard host match. Specifying .Host(“foo.example.com:{port:.*}) will now correctly capture the port into mux.Vars.

CHANGELOG

• fix: regression in vars extract for wildcard host (#579) @harshavardhana
• Remove stale text from comment. (#568) @EricIO

v1.7.4 addresses a number of performance improvements (#544), bugs (#509, #535), and documentation improvements.

CHANGELOG

• Reduce allocations in (*routeRegexp).getURLQuery (#544) @klauspost
• Fixed golint warnings (#526) @KosToZyB
• fix headers regexp test case (#536) @icattlecoder
• Fix the CORSMethodMiddleware bug with subrouters (#535) @fharding1
• Remove/cleanup request context helpers (#525) @fharding1
• Guess the scheme if r.URL.Scheme is unset (#474) @euank
• Added capacity to slice creation, when capacity is known (#516) @vivekv96
• Modified http status codes, using constants provided by the http package (#514) @vivekv96
• bugfix/subrouter custom methodNotAllowed handler returning 404 (#509) (#510) @jonasdebeukelaer
• Update README (self-host logo) (#513) @elithrar
• Remove TravisCI badge (#503) @elithrar
• Add documentation for using mux to serve a SPA (#493) @fharding1
• Simplify code (#501) @muesli
• Avoid unnecessary conversion (#502) @muesli
• Update config.yml (#495) @elithrar

This is a patch release that mostly incorporates test & build system updates, as well as fixing a rare cause of panics.

CHANGELOG

• Update stale.yml (#494) @elithrar
• Improve CORS Method Middleware (#477) @fharding1
• Delete ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md (#492) @elithrar
• Use subtests for middleware tests (#478) @fharding1
• Delete .travis.yml (#490) @elithrar
• Fix nil panic in authentication middleware example (#489) @fharding1
• [WIP] Create CircleCI config (#484) @elithrar

⚠️ This release relaxes the host:port matching when using *Route.Host() as introduced in v1.7.0. If a port is not provided, the route will match on any port, matching behaviour for all versions of mux prior to v1.7.0.

See #447 for a fuller discussion.

CHANGELOG

• Route.Host -matching will ignore any provided port from getHost(), if… (#447) @cognusion

No notable changes 🎆

CHANGELOG

• Minor spelling mistake (#454) @souvikhaldar
• fix go1.12 go vet usage (#458) @seriousben
• adding Router.Name to create new Route (#457) @seriousben
• Remove sudo setting from travis.yml (#462) @sekky0905

Notable changes:

• mux will only support Go 1.7 and newer: this has allowed us to remove the older gorilla/context code. Go 1.7 has been out since August 2016.
• *Route.Host() matching now includes the host:port, as opposed to just the host.
• Subrouters should correctly return a 405 if the route matches but the method does not (see #437 for details)

CHANGELOG

• [deps] Add go.mod for versioned Go (#376) @elithrar
• Initialize user map (#371) @kalafut
• Update LICENSE & AUTHORS files. (#386) @elithrar
• Add 1.11 to build in travis (#398) @yershalom
• Drop support for Go < 1.7: remove gorilla/context (#391) @fharding1
• Create release-drafter.yml (#399) @elithrar
• Always run on the latest stable Go version. (#402) @elithrar

• Add stalebot config (#424) @elithrar
• Update and rename stale to stale.yml (#425) @elithrar

• Replace domain.com with example.com (#434) @RaeesBhatti
• fix #2, return full host:port info from getHost (#383) @santsai
• Ignore ErrNotFound while matching Subrouters (#438) @g-w
• Call WriteHeader after setting other header(s) in the example (#442) @timucingelici
• replace rr.HeaderMap by rr.Header() (#443) @moeryomenko

Adds the CORSMethodMiddleware middleware, which allows package users to automatically generate a Access-Control-Allow-Methods HTTP response header based on which methods are configured for a given route. This is useful when dealing with cross-origin requests, and can be easily enabled via router.Use(mux.CORSMethodMiddleware).

This release otherwise includes documentation fixes and improvements. We are always looking to improve the documentation for mux, and contributions are welcome!

gorilla/mux now provides first-class support for "middleware" thanks to @roobre! Middleware are handlers that can intercept request & response processing after a route match, but before/after other handlers are invoked. See the documentation for the full details: https://github.com/gorilla/mux#middleware

Previously, developers would have to use a thin wrapper to achieve this per-application. Requests for this functionality built up enough over time such that we've added it to mux's built-in methods.
