0.30.1

• Fixed a bug that caused two catch-all routes to appear in the router stack.
• Updated dependencies.

0.30.0

• Breaking: Upgraded to Express 5.x.
  • To migrate:
    • Most Roosevelt apps probably only need to change * routes to *all.
    • Apps that use more complex routing may need other changes.
    • Full list of considerations for migrating to Express 5: https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html
• Added expressSessionStore Express variable, which is the session store instance used by express-session module Roosevelt uses internally.
• Added support for catch-all * in static site generator model definitions.
• Updated dependencies.

0.29.5

• Added new copy param that will copy files from a source location to a destination location.

0.29.2

• Fixed a bug that would cause MAKE_BUILD_ARTIFACTS to supersede the --build CLI flag.
• Fixed a bug that would cause an error to falsely print about not being able to create symlinks.
• Updated dependencies.

0.29.1

• Fixed bugs associated with MAKE_BUILD_ARTIFACTS sometimes not working properly.
• Updated dependencies.

0.29.0

• Breaking: Moved default output location for clientControllers and clientViews to the .build folder.
  • To migrate your app, you will likely need to change js.webpack.bundles.config.resolve.modules to replace any entry that has "${publicFolder}/js" with "${buildFolder}/js".
• Breaking: Changed default of preprocessedViewsPath param from ".build/.preprocessed_views" to ".build/preprocessed_views" and changed default of preprocessedStaticsPath param from ".build/.preprocessed_statics" to ".build/preprocessed_statics".
• Added buildFolder param to customize the name of the .build folder.
• Altered output of controllersBundler and viewsBundler feature to produce files that are easier to read.
• Updated dependencies.

0.28.1

• Fixed a bug where HTTPS certs wouldn't always automatically generate when they should.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.28.0

• Breaking: Removed config auditor feature.
• Added more checks to the deprecation checker.
• Updated dependencies.

0.27.0

• Breaking: Changed http/s param structure:

  • Changed port param to http.port and changed the default to 43763.
  • Changed https.port param default to 43711.
  • Removed https.force param. Non-secure http can now be disabled via http.enable being set to false.
  • Removed authInfoPath, passphrase, caCert, requestCert, and rejectUnauthorized params. Replaced them with options where you can pass any native option.
    • The ca, cert, key, and pfx params can take file paths relative to your secretsDir in addition to everything else natively supported (strings, buffers, and arrays of strings or buffers).
    • The file paths get resolved within arrays if you pass arrays to any of those as well.
  • These collective changes mean most Roosevelt apps will need to alter their Roosevelt configs from something that looks like:

  "port": 19679,
  "https": {
    "enable": true,
    "port": 19679,
    "force": true,
    "authInfoPath": {
      "authCertAndKey": {
        "cert": "cert.pem",
        "key": "key.pem"
      }
    }
  },

  • To be something like this instead:

  "http": {
    "enable": false
  },
  "https": {
    "enable": true,
    "port": 19679,
    "options": {
      "cert": "cert.pem",
      "key": "key.pem"
    }
  },

• Breaking: Changed behavior of NODE_PORT environment variable to now set https port when https is enabled and fall back to http if https is disabled.

• Breaking: Moved the versioning of webpack from Roosevelt itself to the app. You will need to declare webpack as a dependency in your app if you intend to use the JS bundler feature in Roosevelt.

• Breaking: Changed js.webpack.bundles.env param to require values development or production instead of dev or prod.

• Breaking: Changed js.webpack.bundles.verbose param to js.verbose.

• Breaking: Changed --webpack, --wp, and --w CLI flags to --jsbundler, --jsb, and --j respectively.

• Breaking: Changed default of preprocessedViewsPath param from 'mvc/.preprocessed_views' to '.build/.preprocessed_views' and changed default of preprocessedStaticsPath param from '.preprocessed_statics' to '.build/.preprocessed_statics'. Collectively these changes mean most Roosevelt apps should remove .preprocessed_views and .preprocessed_statics from .gitignore and add .build instead.

• Added new param js.customBundler that will let you define a custom JS bundler.

• Added new param js[bundler].customBundlerFunction that will let you define custom behavior for default supported JS bundlers like Webpack.

• Updated dependencies.

0.26.1

• Added new Express variable debugMarkup that contains HTML you can add to your custom error pages if you define any that will print server errors if any exist, display the route list, add some inline JavaScript that will serialize the request's err, req, and res objects so you can interactively examine them in the browser's developer tools. Only available in development mode.

• Added the aforementioned debug markup to the default error pages in development mode as well.

• Added routes Express variable which will list all routes in the app.

• Added new recognized environment variable: MAKE_BUILD_ARTIFACTS will allow you to set Roosevelt's makeBuildArtifacts config.

• Added new param minifyHtmlAttributes: Settings to pass to minify-html-attributes.

  • Options:
    • enable: Whether or not to enable minify-html-attributes.
      • Default: [Boolean] false.
      • Available options:
        • 'production': Enable only in production mode.
        • 'development': Enable in all modes.
        • true: Will be taken to mean 'production'.
    • minifyHtmlAttributesParams: Params to pass to minify-html-attributes.
      • Default: [Object] {}
  • Default: [Object]

  {
    "enable": true,
    "minifyHtmlAttributesParams": {}
  }

  • Note: Roosevelt will always override 3 params from minify-html-attributes:
    • htmlDir will always be set to Roosevelt's preprocessedViewsPath.
    • cssDir will always be set to Roosevelt's preprocessedStaticsPath.
    • jsDir will always be set to Roosevelt's preprocessedStaticsPath.

• Added new param preprocessedStaticsPath: Relative path on filesystem to where your preprocessed static files will be written to. Preprocessed static files are view files that have been preprocessed by the minify-html-attributes module, if you have minifyHtmlAttributes enabled.

  • Default: [String] ".preprocessed_statics".
  • This feature will only be active if minifyHtmlAttributes is enabled.

• Replaced isomorphicControllers param with clientControllers param and made it function similarly to clientViews.

• Fixed a bug with displaying app version on default error pages.

• Fixed a bug that could lead to a counter-intuitive error if your template rendered an empty response in dev mode.

• Updated various dependencies.

0.26.0

• Breaking: Added new param preprocessedViewsPath: Relative path on filesystem to where your preprocessed view files will be written to. Preprocessed view files are view files that have had their uses of web components progressively enhanced using the progressively-enhance-web-components module.

  • Default: [String] "mvc/.preprocessed_views".
  • To disable this feature, set the value to false.
  • This is breaking because if you leave it enabled by default (recommended), you will need to add .preprocessed_views to your .gitignore.

• Breaking: Switched to external source maps for the CSS preprocessor. This necessitated changing the custom CSS preprocessor API to require returning an object instead of a string.

  • If you have written a custom CSS preprocessor, the new return value is:

  return {
    css: 'write code to output css here',
    sourceMap: 'write code to output source map here (optional)'
  }

• Added new param prodSourceMaps to allow source maps to be generated in prod mode for both CSS and JS.

• Added IP address to the output when the server starts.

• Added new CLI script secretsGenerator.js that allows you to combine certsGenerator.js, csrfSecretGenerator.js, and sessionSecretGenerator.js into one command.

• Added feature to override appDir and secretsPath for the CLI scripts using --appDir somewhere and --secretsPath somewhere CLI flags.

• Added exceptionRoutes option to the frontendReload param.

• Added a check for broken symlinks in the public folder, which will be purged if any exist.

• Added support for placing your Roosevelt config in a roosevelt.config.json file in addition to the previous options.

• Added better error when attempting to start a Roosevelt app on a file system that does not support symlinks.

• Changed source maps from inline to external.

• Fixed a bug that caused the JS bundler to not log when it was writing JS files.

• Fixed a bug that caused a statics/pages directory being created when it isn't needed.

• Fixed a bug that could cause the public folder and statics folder to be created even when makeBuildArtifacts is disabled.

• Fixed a bug that caused the views bundler and isomorphic controllers finder to write a new views bundle to disk even when it wasn't needed.

• Fixed frontendReload not working in Firefox with the default HTTPS config.

• Updated various dependencies.

0.25.0

• Breaking: Supplying an allowlist to the views bundler will now implicitly disable exposeAll.
• Breaking: Renamed secretsDir param to secretsPath.
• Updated all file path express variables to include full absolute paths.
• Fixed various bugs in the views bundler feature.
• Fixed a rare bug where CSRF and session secrets could be written to the wrong directory.
• Fixed a bug where HTTPS certs could be automatically generated when they shouldn't be.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.24.0

• Breaking: Altered startServer and initServer methods to now be async. They now need to be awaited to avoid possible race conditions.
  • As a result, starting the app in a single line needs to be updated to await (require('roosevelt').startServer()).
  • Callback arguments have been removed from these methods as well.
• Breaking: Removed app.get('routes'), onReqAfterRoute, onReqBeforeRoute, onReqStart, and onStaticAssetsGenerated.
• Breaking: Renamed app.httpServer to app.get('httpServer') and app.httpsServer to app.get('httpsServer').
• Breaking: Added enable param to clientViews. If your app uses the clientViews feature, you will need to add this param to continue using the feature.
• Added new method onBeforeMiddleware.
• Added start and stop method shorthands for startServer and stopServer respectively.
• Refactored various things under the hood to improve code quality, performance, and reduce unnecessary dependencies.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.23.2

• Removed toobusy feature since it is temperamental and the dependency is no longer maintained.
• Refactored internal wildcardMatch to use minimatch under the hood.
• Replaced html-minifier with html-minifier-terser since html-minifier-terser is better-maintained.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.23.1

• Added feature that scans the router stack to move the 404 route (the * route) to the end of the stack every time a new route is added, even if the route is added at runtime so that you can dynamically add routes while the app is running.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.23.0

• Removed cores feature since it is largely redundant now thanks to the widespread popularity of tools like pm2. Also removed various deprecated cluster module support as well.
• Updated various dependencies.

• Fixed bug that prevented the static site generator feature from working in dev mode when the HTML validator was enabled.
• Fixed README formatting typos.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.22.4

• Made it possible to set expressSession to true which will set a sane default config so you don't have to spell one out.

0.22.3

• Updated various dependencies.

0.22.1

• Exposed the express-session middleware for use in Roosevelt apps.
• Updated various dependencies.

0.22.0

• Breaking: Added a unified secrets directory for various app secrets such as HTTPS certs, session secret, CSRF secret, etc. The name of the directory is configurable, but when upgrading an app from the previous version, you may need to alter your rooseveltConfig to remove directories from your cert or key paths. You must now specify only a file name in those params.

• Added new onStaticAssetsGenerated event that is fired when the server finishes init but before the server starts.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the server to start even when makeBuildArtifacts is set to staticsOnly. This has the side effect of causing serverStart() to revert to the behavior of init() if makeBuildArtifacts is set to staticsOnly.
• Fixed a bug that would cause roosevelt-router to produce a false negative when detecting teddy.
• Various dependencies updated.

0.21.10

• Added --webpack=verbose and --wp=verbose-file CLI flags to make it easier to see verbose webpack errors. Available shorthands: --wp and -w.

• Static site generator will now run the HTML validator against rendered templates in dev mode only.
• Various dependencies updated.

0.21.1

• Static site generator can now be supplied models by file instead of by configuration. If model data is not supplied by configuration, Roosevelt will try to automatically load a model from a JS file with the same name alongside the template if it exists instead.
• Static site generator will now run the HTML validator against rendered templates.
• Bumped CI Node versions.

0.21.0

• Breaking: htmlMinifier param renamed and expanded to html. You will need to update your Roosevelt config.

  • New command line flag added called production-proxy to let you opt-in to localhostOnly and alwaysHostPublic being set to true and false respectively as before.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.18.3

• You can now use PHP as your templating engine in a Roosevelt app or any other Express application. PHP should be faster than any JS-based templating engine for complex templates since its parser is written in C rather than JS.
• Breaking: blacklist/whitelist params throughout the API have been renamed to blocklist/allowlist.
• README was copyedited to improve the clarity of the default behaviors of some of the API, remove outdated information, and other small improvements.
• The host-public warning was made more prominent so that production mode default behavior regarding statics is less confusing to people.

• Replaced browserify with webpack. This has significant breaking API changes. You will need to totally rewrite your JS bundles from browserify bundles to webpack bundles to upgrade to this version of Roosevelt. It is also recommended that you remove all references to old build artifacts such as .build and .bundled in your application as well from package.json, .gitignore, etc.
• Eliminated concept of separate JS compilers in favor of declaring this via your webpack config. Note: webpack defaults to minifying JS using terser.

0.15.1

• Fixed bug causing apps to crash in dev mode.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.15.0

• Moved CSS minification from roosevelt-less to Roosevelt using clean-css as a direct dependency. The clean-css library had an update with breaking changes so the rooseveltConfig params in advanced and aggressiveMerging in cleanCSS are now outdated.
• New default script npm run proddev: Runs the app in production mode, but with the public folder hosted by the Roosevelt app. This is useful for doing development in production mode without having to stage a complex simulation of your production environment, which would likely include hosting static files via another web server better-suited to serving statics like Apache or nginx.
• Roosevelt now sources configs internally using source-configs.
• Validator will now be disabled if HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY are set but localhost is not in NO_PROXY.
• Fixed a bug where not having devDependencies or dependencies objects in your app's package.json would throw errors when installing dependencies. Accordingly re-reverted most changes in 0.14.1 to fix buggy behavior with devDependencies in npm installs.
• The check-dependencies call will now only apply to production dependencies.
• Some internal refactoring to clean things up.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.14.6

• Fixed a bug that caused devDependencies of Roosevelt to be removed if npm i was run more than once.
• Fixed a bug that caused the automated testing to break if your clone of Roosevelt was not named "roosevelt."
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.14.5

• staticsSymlinksToPublic will now create missing subdirectories necessary to create a symlink in a target location.
• Fixed a bug which caused Java hserrpid error logs to pile up in your app directory under certain conditions.
• Fixed a bug which caused frontend reload to not work on the various error pages.
• Added code comment above frontend reload script tag to explain that it is injected by Roosevelt.
• Did some copyediting on frontend reload logging.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.14.4

• Added automatic browser reloading when your frontend code changes (via reload).
• A console warning will now appear explaining why public static assets don't load in prod mode when alwaysHostPublic is set to false (the default).
• New Express variable added: routes containing a list of all routes loaded in the application.
• Various dependencies bumped.
• CI improvements.

0.14.3

• Restored move of several things to devDependencies to shrink production builds. Feature is now activated using ROOSEVELT_DEPLOYMENT environment variable. There are also new corresponding npm run commands dev-install and dev-prune to manage this. See README for more details.
• Copyediting on several logs to improve clarity.
• Various dependencies bumped.
• CI improvements.

0.14.2

• Reverted most changes in 0.14.1 to fix #713, but preserved modularization of htmlValidator.js so that if any devDependencies are missing, the app will not crash in production mode.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.14.1

• Moved several things to devDependencies to shrink production builds.
• Various dependencies bumped.

0.14.0

• Replaced internal logger with roosevelt-logger. Note: this removes the winston Express variable that was previously provided, but it is still indirectly accessible by drilling down through the logger Express variable now. See roosevelt-logger member variable documentation.
• If custom routers are being used, the res.redirect() method will now prepend the prefix to redirects that are relative to the hostname. To override this setting pass true as the last argument.
• HTML validator exceptions param will now accept an array of values instead of just a single string value.
• Various dependencies bumped.
• CI improvements.

0.13.0

• Roosevelt will now warn you if your CSS/JS compile directory is getting stale and might need to be cleaned with npm run clean. A new cleanTimer param has been added to configure or disable this check.
• Added new param routers to add support for Express Routers.
• Added new feature to create custom CSS/JS preprocessors on the fly.
• Added environment variable to enable/disable the HTML validator autokiller.
• Added OpenJDK support to the Java HTML Validator.
• Various dependencies bumped.
• CI improvements.

0.12.2
