Req 1.1.0

• Added customAuth and attachHeader to facilitate creation of custom authentication options.

• Added basicProxyAuth authentication option.

Req 1.0.0

• Added the reqBr function allowing to consume Response BodyReader without using a pre-defined instance of HttpResponse, in a custom way.

• Now streaming of response body does not happen until we've checked headers and status code with httpConfigCheckResponse. It also doesn't happen on every retry. Streaming and obtaining of final response value happens only once when we're happy with everything.

  Previously we first tried to consume and interpret response body before checking status code and determining whether we should retry the request. This was not good, because we could expect a JSON response but get a response with status code 500, and then still we would try to parse it as JSON first before letting httpConfigCheckResponse throw an exception.

  The corrected behavior should also make retrying more efficient.

• Changed signatures of several fields of HttpConfig: httpConfigCheckResponse, httpConfigRetryPolicy, and httpConfigRetryJudge in order to eliminate redundant IO and prevent the possibility that these functions could start consuming BodyReader.

• Removed the makeResponsePreview method from the HttpResponse type class. Preview business is handled by the library automatically on a lower level now. Users do not need to concern themselves with such stuff.

• Changed the type signature of the getHttpResponse method of the HttpResponse type class. Previously it left too much freedom (and responsibility) to implementers of the method. In fact, we now limit what getHttpResponse does to just consuming and interpreting Response BodyReader, so we can properly control details of connection opening/closing etc., for the user.

• Dropped support for GHC 7.8.

• Minor documentation improvements.

Req 0.5.0

• Changed the signature of the makeResponseBodyPreview from response -> IO ByteString to response -> ByteString.

• Minor documentation improvements.

Req 0.4.0

• Added the Req monad and runReq function to run it. This allows to use req without defining new (orphan) instances.

Req 0.3.1

• Added basicAuthUnsafe.

Req 0.3.0

• Made URL parsing functions parseUrlHttp and parseUrlHttps recognize port numbers.

• Added req' function that allows to perform requests via a callback that receives pre-constructed request and manager.

• Removed the ReturnRequest HTTP response implementation as it was not quite safe and was not going to work with retrying. Use req' instead for “pure” testing.

• Changed the type of httpConfigCheckResponse, so the second argument can be any instance of HttpResponse.

• Added built-in automatic retrying. See httpConfigRetryPolicy and httpConfigRetryJudge in HttpConfig. The default configuration retries 5 times on request timeouts.

• Added the makeResponseBodyPreview method to the HttpResponse type class that allows to specify how to build a “preview” of response body for inclusion into exceptions.

• Improved wording in the documentation and README.md.

Req 0.2.0

• Added support for multipart form data in the form of ReqBodyMultipart body option and reqBodyMultipart helper function. This also required a change in the type signature of getRequestContentType, which now takes body, not Proxy body because we need to extract boundary from body and put it into Content-Type header. This change, however, shouldn't be too dangerous for end-users.

• Added support for OAuth 1.0 authentication via oAuth1 option.

Req 0.1.0

• Initial release.
