# 2.0.0-alpha * Removed `random_string` dependency. * Moved reflection to `package:angel_container`. * Upgraded `package:file` to `5.0.0`. * `ResponseContext.sendFile` now uses `package:file`. * Abandon `ContentType` in favor of `MediaType`. * Changed view engine to use `Map`. * Remove dependency on `package:json_god` by default. * Remove dependency on `package:dart2_constant`. * Moved `lib/hooks.dart` into `package:angel_hooks`. * Moved `TypedService` into `package:angel_typed_service`. * Completely removed the `AngelBase` class. * Removed all `@deprecated` symbols. * `Service.toId` was renamed to `Service.parseId`; it also now uses its single type argument to determine how to parse a value. * In addition, this method was also made `static`. * `RequestContext` and `ResponseContext` are now generic, and take a single type argument pointing to the underlying request/response type, respectively. * `RequestContext.io` and `ResponseContext.io` are now permanently gone. * `HttpRequestContextImpl` and `HttpResponseContextImpl` were renamed to `HttpRequestContext` and `HttpResponseContext`. * Lazy-parsing request bodies is now the default; `Angel.lazyParseBodies` was replaced with `Angel.eagerParseRequestBodies`. * `Angel.storeOriginalBuffer` -> `Angel.storeRawRequestBuffers`. * The methods `lazyBody`, `lazyFiles`, and `lazyOriginalBuffer` on `ResponseContext` were all replaced with `parseBody`, `parseUploadedFiles`, and `parseRawRequestBuffer`, respectively. * Removed the synchronous equivalents of the above methods (`body`, `files`, and `originalBuffer`), as well as `query`. * Removed `Angel.injections` and `RequestContext.injections`. * Removed `Angel.inject` and `RequestContext.inject`. * Removed a dependency on `package:pool`, which also meant removing `AngelHttp.throttle`. * Remove the `RequestMiddleware` typedef; from now on, one should use `ResponseContext.end` exclusively to close responses. * `waterfall` will now only accept `RequestHandler`. * `Routable`, and all of its subclasses, now extend `Router`, and therefore only take routes in the form of `FutureOr myFunc(RequestContext, ResponseContext res)`. * `@Middleware` now takes an `Iterable` of `RequestHandler`s. * `@Expose.path` now *must* be a `String`, not just any `Pattern`. * `@Expose.middleware` now takes `Iterable`, instead of just `List`. * `createDynamicHandler` was renamed to `ioc`, and is now used to run IoC-aware handlers in a type-safe manner. * `RequestContext.params` is now a `Map`, rather than just a `Map`. * Removed `RequestContext.grab`. * Removed `RequestContext.properties`. * Removed the defunct `debug` property where it still existed. * `Routable.use` now only accepts a `Service`. * Removed `Angel.createZoneForRequest`. * Removed `Angel.defaultZoneCreator`. * Added all flags to the `Angel` constructor, ex. `Angel.eagerParseBodies`. * Fix a bug where synchronous errors in `handleRequest` would not be caught. * `AngelHttp.useZone` now defaults to `false`. * `ResponseContext` now starts in streaming mode by default; the response buffer is opt-in, as in many cases it is unnecessary and slows down response time. * `ResponseContext.streaming` was replaced by `ResponseContext.isBuffered`. * Made `LockableBytesBuilder` public. * Removed the now-obsolete `ResponseContext.willCloseItself`. * Removed `ResponseContext.dispose`. * Removed the now-obsolete `ResponseContext.end`. * Removed the now-obsolete `ResponseContext.releaseCorrespondingRequest`. * `preInject` now takes a `Reflector` as its second argument. * `Angel.reflector` defaults to `const EmptyReflector()`, disabling reflection out-of-the-box. * Removed `Angel.injectEncoders`. * Added `Providers.toJson`. * Moved `Providers.graphql` to `Providers.graphQL`. * `Angel.optimizeForProduction` no longer calls `preInject`, as it does not need to.
