Clean up code and syntax issues.

[express.git] / History.md

4.0.0 /
==================

 * remove:
   - node 0.8 support
   - connect and connect's patches except for charset handling
   - express(1) - moved to [express-generator](https://github.com/expressjs/generator)
   - `express.createServer()` - it has been deprecated for a long time. Use `express()`
   - `app.configure` - use logic in your own app code
   - `app.router` - is removed
   - `req.auth` - use `basic-auth` instead
   - `req.accepted*` - use `req.accepts*()` instead
   - `res.location` - relative URL resolution is removed
   - `res.charset` - include the charset in the content type when using `res.set()`
   - all bundled middleware except `static`
 * change:
   - `app.route` -> `app.mountpath` when mounting an express app in another express app
   - `json spaces` no longer enabled by default in development
   - `req.accepts*` -> `req.accepts*s` - i.e. `req.acceptsEncoding` -> `req.acceptsEncodings`
   - `req.params` is now an object instead of an array
   - `res.locals` is no longer a function. It is a plain js object. Treat it as such.
   - `res.headerSent` -> `res.headersSent` to match node.js ServerResponse object
 * refactor:
   - `req.accepts*` with [accepts](https://github.com/expressjs/accepts)
   - `req.is` with [type-is](https://github.com/expressjs/type-is)
   - [path-to-regexp](https://github.com/component/path-to-regexp)
 * add:
   - `app.router()` - returns the app Router instance
   - `app.route()` - Proxy to the app's `Router#route()` method to create a new route
