    💥 Breaking Changes

    🚀 This release includes many breaking changes. These changes are listed below along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing applications.

    • session_key was renamed to secret_key, requires a 256-bit base64 key

      It's unlikely that session_key was previously used. If it was, rename session_key to secret_key. Generate a random 256-bit base64 key using a tool like openssl: openssl rand -base64 32.

    • The &Cookies request guard has been removed in favor of Cookies

      Change &Cookies in a request guard position to Cookies.

    • Rocket::launch() now returns a LaunchError, doesn't panic.

      For the old behavior, suffix a call to .launch() with a semicolon: .launch();.

    • Routes without query parameters match requests with or without query parameters.

      There is no workaround, but this change may allow manual ranks from routes to be removed.

    • The format route attribute on non-payload requests matches against the Accept header.

      Excepting a custom request guard, there is no workaround. Previously, format always matched against the Content-Type header, regardless of whether the request method indicated a payload or not.

    • A type of &str can no longer be used in form structures or parameters.

      Use the new &RawStr type instead.

    • ContentType is no longer a request guard.

      Use &ContentType instead.

    • Request::content_type() returns &ContentType instead of ContentType.

      Use .clone() on &ContentType if a type of ContentType is required.

    • Response::header_values() was removed. Response::headers() now returns an &HeaderMap.

      A call to Response::headers() can be replaced with Response::headers().iter(). A call to Response::header_values(name) can be replaced with Response::headers().get(name).

    • Route collisions result in a hard error and panic.

      There is no workaround. Previously, route collisions were a warning.

    • The IntoOutcome trait has been expanded and made more flexible.

      There is no workaround. IntoOutcome::into_outcome() now takes a Failure value to use. IntoOutcome::or_forward() was added to return a Forward outcome if self indicates an error.

    • The 'testing' feature was removed.

      Remove features = ["testing"] from Cargo.toml. Use the new local module for testing.

    • serde was updated to 1.0.

      There is no workaround. Ensure all dependencies rely on serde 1.0.

    • config::active() was removed.

      Use Rocket::config() to retrieve the configuration before launch. If needed, use managed state to store config information for later use.

    • The Responder trait has changed.

      Responder::respond(self) was removed in favor of Responder::respond_to(self, &Request). Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming request.

    • Outcome::of(Responder) was removed while Outcome::from(&Request, Responder) was added.

      Use Outcome::from(..) instead of Outcome::of(..).

    • Usage of templates requires Template::fairing() to be attached.

      Call .attach(Template::fairing()) on the application's Rocket instance before launching.

    • The Display implementation of Template was removed.

      Use Template::show() to render a template directly.

    • Request::new() is no longer exported.

      There is no workaround.

    • The FromForm trait has changed.

      Responder::from_form_items(&mut FormItems) was removed in favor of Responder::from_form(&mut FormItems, bool). The second parameter indicates whether parsing should be strict (if true) or lenient (if false).

    • LoggingLevel was removed as a root reexport.

      It can now be imported from rocket::config::LoggingLevel.

    • An Io variant was added to ConfigError.

      Ensure matches on ConfigError include an Io variant.

    • ContentType::from_extension() returns an Option<ContentType>.

      For the old behvavior, use .unwrap_or(ContentType::Any).

    • The IntoValue config trait was removed in favor of Into<Value>.

      There is no workaround. Use Into<Value> as necessary.

    • The rocket_contrib::JSON type has been renamed to rocket_contrib::Json.

      Use Json instead of JSON.

    • All structs in the content module use TitleCase names.

      Use Json, Xml, Html, and Css instead of JSON, XML, HTML, and CSS, respectively.

    General Improvements

    In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:

    • "Rocket" is now capatilized in the Server HTTP header.
