Global validation option no longer valid with hapi 8

[landau]

Hapi 7.5.2 supports the validation property upon creating a server. http://hapijs.com/api/7.5.2#server-options

This option appears to have been removed from Hapi 8 and now throws an error. I'm unable to find a breaking change or replacement for this option.

// Hapi 7.5.2 creation
var server = new Hapi.Server(1337, {
      validation: {
        modify: false,
        abortEarly: false,
        stripUnknown: true
      }
   });

// hapi 8 with errors
var server = new Hapi.Server( {
      validation: {
        modify: false,
        abortEarly: false,
        stripUnknown: true
      }
   });

Here is the console output

Error: Invalid server options {
  "validation" [1]: {
    "modify": false,
    "abortEarly": false,
    "stripUnknown": true
  }
}
[1] validation is not allowed

Run the hapi 8 verision in the node repl and it will instantly blow up. Please let me know if there is a proper fix for this. Thanks.

• Reorganized all routes related configuration under a new connection routes config setting defaults.

Ie. you need to modify your connection to something like:

server.connection({
    host: HOST,
    port: PORT,
    routes: {
        validate: {
            options: { … }
        }
    }
});

bah....I swear I searched for that and couldn't find it... Thanks!

This change should be noted under the release notes though.
