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!
