5.0.0 (2026-02-16)

Added

• Add ability for controllers auto-mounting
  Good bye giant application mount blocks!
  But you can disable it with nested: false option for mount, for example, for conditional umbrella application.
• Allow to mount anonymous controllers
• Add support for Ruby 3.0 ­– 4.0
• Add support of OPTIONS HTTP-method
• Add Application.require_dirs method
• Add Controller#path_to_back method
• Add :log_dir for default config
• Add :require option for Config#load_yaml
• Receive options for Tilt in Controller#(render|view) method via :tilt argument
• Add support of block for Controller#render method
• Add metadata to Gem specification with links
• Add required Ruby version into Gem specification
• Add Controller.with_actions method for modules Example: include with_actions ModuleWithActions
• Allow to render view by relative path from current view
• Add ability for refining HTTP-methods of actions inside controllers
  Now you can not use post, patch and others inside mount blocks, yay!
• Catch SyntaxError for custom Internal Server Error page
• Add :only option to #with_actions method
• Add cache for Controller#url_to in production via memery gem
• Add ability to refine actions in modules
  Just extend Flame::Controller::Actions in module now, and than include with_actions ThatModule, as before.
• Add Flame::Router::Routes#to_s, for routes printing

  puts MyApplication.router.routes

• Add Request#headers method (with Camel-Cased Hash)
• Accept options for cookies setting
• Add Flame::Path#include? method, forwarding to #to_s
• Allow integration with better_errors gem
  More info here.
• Add RuboCop plugins, resolve offenses by them
• Add remark Markdown linter

Changed

• Replace Array-based routes system with Hash-based
• Move flame executable and template/ to separated gem flame-cli, not required by default.
• Take out Config from Flame::Application to Flame
  Now it's possible to load config before routes (and models).
  Also add ConfigFileNotFoundError.
• Replace URI building with Addressable::URI from external gem
• Replace no-cache with public and max-age (one year) for Cache-Control header for static files
• Implemented 405 response instead of 404 for unavailable HTTP methods
• Change format of mounting from constants to Symbols
• Call default_body (for the nearest route) without execute
• Switch from unsupported bacon to minitest-bacon, and then to RSpec
• Replace Controller.with_actions with .inherit_actions
• Move Dispatcher#path_to to Application.path_to
• Replace Controller#default_body with #not_found for 404 pages, like #server_error for 500 pages.
• Replace URI.decode_www_form_component with CGI.unescape
• Reduce the number of violations of the Law of Demeter
  Thanks to @snuggs
• Catch invalid %-encoding, halt 400
• Improve #inspect output for custom Errors
• Switch from Travis CI to Cirrus CI
• Autoload Render module, don't eager require
  I think it's unnecessary for API-like usage.
• Slightly optimize StaticFile
• Build query in #path_to from root-Hash
  Now building a path with merged query parameters is easier, no more params: {}.
• Run Controller#not_found through execute
  For found nearest routes.
  Now we can write before-hooks in execute also for nonexistent pages.
• Don't assign results of execute (after-hooks) as body
• Require directories starting with _ first
• Allow to redefine controller path with PATH constant inside
• Resolve Ruby warnings
• Update Rack and GorillaPatch
• Update RuboCop to a new version, resolve new offenses
• Improve version locks for dependencies
• Use Depfu instead of closed Gemnasium
• Improve CI config

Removed

• Remove Application#config and Application#router methods
• Remove Ruby < 2.7 support
• Remove integration with better_errors.
• Remove HTML tags (<h1>) from default body
  There is no Content-Type HTTP header, also there is no reason to return exactly HTML content
  (Flame can be used only for API or something else).
• Remove bundler as development dependency.

Fixed

• Fix issue with nil in after-hook which returned 404 status
• Fix routing to path without an optional argument at the beginning
• Fix routing for multiple routes starting with arguments
  Example: parent controller with show(id) and nested controller at /:parent_id/nested.
• Avoid new controller creation in halt
• Fix typos in documentation

Security

• Fix exploit with static files
  You could get the content of any file from the outside of public directory.
  It did not work with nginx, Cloudflare or something else.
