New Features¶ ↑

An autoload_hash_branches plugin has been added for autoloading route files for each hash branch, instead of requiring the route files be loaded up front. For example, to automatically load a route file for a hash branch on the first request to that branch:
```
plugin :autoload_hash_branches
autoload_hash_branch('branch_name', '/path/to/file')
autoload_hash_branch('namespace', 'branch_name', '/path/to/file')
```
The route file loaded should define the expected hash branch.

It is common to have route files stored in a directory, with the file name matching the branch name. In that case, you can set autoloading for all route files in a given directory:
```
plugin :autoload_hash_branches
autoload_hash_branch_dir('/path/to/dir')
autoload_hash_branch_dir('namespace', '/path/to/dir')
```
Note that autoloading hash branches does not work if the application is frozen. This plugin should only be used in development mode for faster startup, or when running tests on a subset of the application in order to avoid loading parts of the application unrelated to what is being tested.
The mailer plugin now supports a :terminal plugin option to make the r.mail method force a terminal match, similar to how r.get and other HTTP verb methods work in standard Roda. This behavior will become the default in Roda 4.

Other Improvements¶ ↑

The mailer plugin now correctly sets the content_type of the body for emails with attachments when using mail 2.8.0+.
