  {:ok, socket}
end

def terminate({:shutdown, :client_left}, socket) do
  # client left intentionally
end
def terminate(reason, socket) do
  # terminating for another reason (connection drop, crash, etc)

    url: "ws://localhost:4000",
    patterns: [~r{priv/static/.*(js|css|png|jpeg|jpg|gif)$},

    • [Router] Router no longer defines default :browser and :api pipelines

  • Bug fixes

    • [Router] Generate correct route for helper path on root

v0.5.0

  • Enhancements

    • [Router] Named helpers are now automatically generated for every route based on the controller name
    • [Router] Named helpers have been optimized to do as little work as possible at runtime
    • [Router] Support multiple pipelines at the router level
    • [Channels] The phoenix.js channel client now sends a configurable heartbeat every 30s to maintain connections

  • Deprecations

    • [Controller] assign_private is deprecated in favor of put_private
    • [Controller] assign_status is deprecated in favor of put_status

  • Backwards incompatible changes

    • [Controller] Remove default, injected aliases: Flash, JSON
    • [Controller] Controllers now require plug :action to be explicitly invoked
    • [Router] *path identifiers in routers are now returned as a list
    • [Router] Named helpers are now defined in a explicit module nested to your router. For example, if your router is named MyApp.Router, the named helpers will be available at MyApp.Router.Helpers
    • [Router] session_secret configuration is deprecated in favor of secret_key_base
    • [Router] Plugs can now only be defined inside pipelines. All routers now need to explicitly declare which pipeline they want to use
    • [Router] Router configuration was revamped, static configuration has been moved into :static, session configuration into :session, parsers configuration into :parsers, the http server configuration has been moved into :http, the https configuration into :https and the URI information for generating URIs into :uri
    • [CodeReloaer] Code reloading now requires the :phoenix compiler to be added to the list of compilers in your mix.exs project config, ie: compilers: [:phoenix] ++ Mix.compilers. Additionally, the Phoenix.CodeReloader.reload! invocation should be removed from your test_helper.exs for applications generated on 0.4.x.
    • [Topic] Phoenix.Topic has been renamed to Phoenix.PubSub. If you were calling into the topic layer directly, update your module references.

    • [Config] Add proxy_port Router config option for deployments where public facing port differs from local port
    • [Router] Add nested generated Helpers module to Routers for easy imports of named route helpers, ie import MyApp.Router.Helpers

  • Bug fixes

    • Various bug fixes and improvements

  • Backwards incompatible changes

    • [Config] ExConf Configuration has been replaced by Mix Config
    • Directory and naming conventions have changed. A web/ directory now lives at root of the project and holds routers, controllers, channels, views & templates, where all web/ files are recompiled by the code reloader during development. Modules that cannot be simply recompiled in process are placed in lib as normal and require a server restart to take effect. Follow this guide for upgrade steps from 0.3.x.
    • Naming conventions now use singular form for module names, directory names, and named route helpers
    • [Router] Named route helpers have been reworked to use single function name with pattern matched arguments. See the readme examples
    • [Controller] layout: nil render option has been replaced by assign_layout(conn, :none)
    • [Plugs] Plugs.JSON now adds parsed params under "_json" key when the JSON object is an array

v0.3.1 (2014-07-04)

  • Enhancements
    • Various performance improvements

v0.3.0 (2014-06-30)

    • Channel and Topic reply and broadcast functions now require a map instead of an arbitrary dict
