## v4.5.0 - 2021-08-01

**Important notes**

A **BREAKING CHANGE** is introduced for JWT middleware users.
The JWT library used for the JWT middleware had to be changed from [github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go](https://github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go) to
[github.com/golang-jwt/jwt](https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt) due former library being unmaintained and affected by security
issues.
The [github.com/golang-jwt/jwt](https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt) project is a drop-in replacement, but supports only the latest 2 Go versions.
So for JWT middleware users Go 1.15+ is required. For detailed information please read [#1940](https://github.com/labstack/echo/discussions/)

To change the library imports in all .go files in your project replace all occurrences of `dgrijalva/jwt-go` with `golang-jwt/jwt`.

For Linux CLI you can use:
```bash
find -type f -name "*.go" -exec sed -i "s/dgrijalva\/jwt-go/golang-jwt\/jwt/g" {} \;
go mod tidy
```

**Fixes**

* Change JWT library to `github.com/golang-jwt/jwt` [#1946](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1946)

## v4.4.0 - 2021-07-12

**Fixes**

* Split HeaderXForwardedFor header only by comma [#1878](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1878)
* Fix Timeout middleware Context propagation [#1910](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1910)
 
**Enhancements**

* Bind data using headers as source [#1866](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1866)
* Adds JWTConfig.ParseTokenFunc to JWT middleware to allow different libraries implementing JWT parsing. [#1887](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1887)
* Adding tests for Echo#Host [#1895](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1895)
* Adds RequestIDHandler function to RequestID middleware [#1898](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1898)
* Allow for custom JSON encoding implementations [#1880](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1880)

## v4.3.0 - 2021-05-08

**Important notes**

* Route matching has improvements for following cases:
  1. Correctly match routes with parameter part as last part of route (with trailing backslash)
  2. Considering handlers when resolving routes and search for matching http method handler
* Echo minimal Go version is now 1.13. 

**Fixes**

* When url ends with slash first param route is the match [#1804](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1812)
* Router should check if node is suitable as matching route by path+method and if not then continue search in tree [#1808](https://github.com/labstack/echo/issues/1808)
* Fix timeout middleware not writing response correctly when handler panics [#1864](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1864)

**Enhancements**

* Make KeyFunc public in JWT middleware [#1756](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1756)
* Add support for optional filesystem to the static middleware [#1797](https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/1797)

## v4.2.0 - 2021-02-11

**Important notes**

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.
