Changes

New Maven Central Coordinates

Since @farmdawgnation took over the project, Dispatch's official website has moved to http://dispatchhttp.org. The twitter handle for news on the project is DispatchHTTP. To align with this new branding, we've changed the Maven Central coordinates as well.

Starting with v0.14.0, Dispatch will be published under org.dispatchhttp instead of net.databinder.dispatch.

AsyncHttpClient 2.1.2.

This bumps our underlying HTTP client to the latest version to fix a handful of bugs. You can view the included changes in this changelog.

(#178) Additional Plain-English Dispatch Verbs

The days where Scala was a language obsessed with DSLs has come and gone. While there sit folks on both sides of the debate about whether or not symbol function names are ultimately good or ultimately bad, it was time for Dispatch to ensure it had plain-english versions of all of its request builder verbs.

To that end, the following new methods have been added to the request building API:

• appendSegment — Alias to the / verb for adding path segments to a request
• appendOptionalSegment — Alias to the /? verb for adding an optional segment to a request
• appendHeaders — Alias to the <:< verb for appending headers to the request
• appendBodyParams — Alias to the << verb for appending body parameters to the request
• setStringBody — Alias to the << verb for explicitly setting the body of the request from a String
• setFileBody — Alias to the <<< verb for explicitly setting the body of the request from a java.io.File
• appendQueryParams — Alias to the <<? verb for appending query parameters to the request.

(#177) Improve behavior of implied verbs

Dispatch Verbs such as appendBodyParams and setFileBody typically imply an HTTP method (e.g. PUT or POST). Previously, the logic that determined whether or not to change the HTTP method being used only checked to see if the method was currently a GET. If so, using one of those verbs would change which HTTP method your request was using.

Now Dispatch will actually distinguish between implied HTTP method and an HTTP method that was explicitly set by the developer to avoid this issue. If you explicitly say "My request is a GET request" Dispatch should never automatically change that out from under you.

New sbt and scala versions

Hat tip to @xuwei-k for getting us on sbt 1.1.0 and the latest Scala versions.

Dispatch v0.13.2

The maintainers of and contributors to Dispatch are pleased to announce the release of Dispatch v0.13.2. This release is a stable release for the v0.13.x series. All users of Dispatch 0.13.x should upgrade immediately, as this includes an upgraded AsyncHttpClient with a security fix in it.

Changes

• Bump AsyncHttpClient to 2.0.36. This addresses CVE-2017-14063 and gets us up to date on the AsyncHttpClient dependency. Previously, dispatch was using 2.0.33. You can view the AHC Changelog here.

Dispatch v0.13.1

The maintainers of and contributors to Dispatch are pleased to announce the release of Dispatch v0.13.1. This release is a stable release for the v0.13.x series.

Changes

• (#169) Bump AsyncHttpClient to 2.0.33. This release is pretty minor and includes a few small changes with some underlying Netty version bumps. The commit log for this version of AHC has all the details.
• (#171) Bump Lift JSON dependency to 3.1.0. Version 3.1.0 of Lift's JSON library brings a number of improvements to performance. Full details can be found in the Lift 3.1.0 Release Notes. Net-net: this includes significant speed improvements to the parser that should give jawn a run for its money and the ability to handle heterogenous JSON arrays as Scala Tuples.
• (#163) Fix as.File file descriptor leak. This bug has been lingering in Dispatch for awhile, and we finally got it cleaned up. Essentially, if you attempted to use as.File and your request did not complete successfully, you would leak a file descriptor. We fix this issue by closing the file handler in the event we encounter any kind of exception while attempting to process your request.
