Clásica de San Sebastián (2.4.x)

v2.4.0

Minor release time!

Brötli Compression

Starting with this release brötli compression is supported for both static and dynamic requests. It is amazingly tight compression that beats out gzip and deflate. To keep it snappy we are using a wrapper around the c implementation instead of a pure js implementation.

Brötli does have one quirk, that it is only supported by browsers over https. So make sure you have https setup if you are going to use it. monument itself doesn't care, meaning that you could have monument speaking http behind an https load balancer and it will still serve up brötli if the browser supports it. But if you are running the https right off of monument make sure that you are passing in the https module to server in the config object. It should also work with http2 or spdy which require certificates as well.

Higher performance web sockets

This release also adds a couple of binary dependencies that improve the performance of the ws library. See the ws docs for more details about that.

Router API!

There is now a route declaration API so that you can easily add and remove route handlers to the server while it is running. This is awesome! Not only does it provide a code-over-config option for creating route handlers it also makes it possible to create and destroy them as needed.
