1.0.0 Breaking Changes

[hueniverse]

Note: Once 1.0.0 is out, hapi will obey semver rules where 1.x.x will never include breaking changes (until 2.0.0).

Changed:

• request.rawBody renamed to request.rawPayload, and is now a Buffer, not a string. Use request.rawPayload.toString() to get the previously provided value (0.16 and older).
• Module root now case sensitive (Server, Pack, response, Composer, state, types, utils).
• pack.version() changed to pack.version.
• Server config views.cache and views.engines[ext].cache changed to isCached.
• Server config views no longer includes a default handlebars handler. To get the same behavior add engines: { 'html': 'handlebars' } to the views object.
• If multiple view engines are defined, it will no longer try looking for all the extensions if template name is missing it. Set views.defaultExtension when using multiple extensions engines.
• Route config response moved to validate.response.
• Route auth.tos changed from number to semver version.
• Cookie errors are logged when state.cookies.failAction to to 'error'.
• Replaced request.reply.payload().send() with just request.reply() (uses process.nextTick() to schedule an automatic send()). Added new hold() method to prevent next tick from sending the response, until send() is called.
• request.reply.send() only available after calling request.reply().hold().
• Location header prefixed with server.settings.location is set and value non-absolute (instead if using server.info.uri).
• server.plugin renamed server.pack.
• Basic auth changed. Details in https://github.com/spumko/hapi/blob/master/docs/API.md#basic-authentication.
• Cookie auth validateFunc changed. Details in https://github.com/spumko/hapi/blob/master/docs/API.md#cookie-authentication.
• In server.helper(), options.generateKey function signature changed to pass the same arguments as the helper method instead of passing them as a single arguments object.
• Composer manifest no longer has root permissions. Instead, pass [permissions, options] as the options value of each plugin key.

Removed:

• Cache strict mode.
• request.reply.raw() and the Raw response type. In node 0.10 it is trivial to create your own Readable stream and use that to achieve the same result.
• Oz auth scheme (but you were not supposed to use it anyway).
• Hapi.response.generate() changed to private.
• Server config views.engine. Use views.engines[ext].module instead.
• Route config validate.response.failAction - ignore value.
• request.reply.payload() and request.reply.stream() removed. Use request.reply() instead.
• server.settings.host, server.settings.port, server.settings.uri. Moved to server.info.
• server.settings.nickname.
• request.removeTail().

Obsoleted:

• request.addTail(). Use request.tail().
