New Features¶ ↑

• The middleware plugin now accepts a :next_if_not_found option. This allows the middleware plugin to pass the request to the next application if the current application handles the request but ends up calling the not_found handler. With the following middleware:

  class Mid < Roda
    plugin :middleware
  
    route do |r|
      r.on "foo" do
        r.get "bar" do
          'bar'
        end
      end
    end
  end
  

  Requests for /x would be forwarded to the next application, since the application doesn’t handle the request, but requests for /foo/x would not be, because the middleware is partially handling the request in the r.on “foo” block. With the :next_if_not_found option, only requests for /foo/bar would be handled by the middleware, and all other requests would be forwarded to the next application.

Other Improvements¶ ↑

• The sessions and route_csrf plugins no longer depend on the base64 library. base64 will be removed from Ruby’s standard library starting in Ruby 3.4.
