## v4.2.1 - 2021-03-08
**Important notes**
Due to a datarace the config parameters for the newly added timeout middleware required a change.
See the [docs](https://echo.labstack.com/middleware/timeout).
A performance regression has been fixed, even bringing better performance than before for some routing scenarios.
The behaviour for binding data has been reworked for compatibility with echo before v4.1.11 by
enforcing `explicit tagging` for processing parameters. This **may break** your code if you
expect combined handling of query/path/form params.
Please see the updated documentation for [request](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/request) and [binding](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/request)
The handling for rewrite rules has been slightly adjusted to expand `*` to a non-greedy `(.*?)` capture group. This is only relevant if multiple asterisks are used in your rules.
Please see [rewrite](https://echo.labstack.com/middleware/rewrite) and [proxy](https://echo.labstack.com/middleware/proxy) for details.
