v0.9.0

Its been a while but we are back! Hello! There have been some big changes to Hoverfly. A lot of the past month has been spent implementing the groundwork needed for us to continue to develop and evolve Hoverfly with more confidence of backwards compatibility.

With this release, we are deprecating the old API. We believe the new V2 API covers all of the required functionality. The old API is still accessible, but it will be removed at some point in the future.

With this release out of the way, we plan to go back to smaller, more regular releases in the future.

Revised schema

Over time, the input files required for Hoverfly have grown. Initially, there was a records file containing requests and responses. We then introduced templates and then delays. v0.9.0 simplifies all of this and now has a new schema for simulations. This schema contains all everything Hoverfly needs. The simulation schema now has the recorded requests and respones, the templates and the delays. In the future, any new forms of data we support in Hoverfly will be delivered via this schema.

V2 API

We've been hard at work on building out a new RESTful API for Hoverfly. This new API is versioned, which should allow us to make changes more easily without breaking backwards compatibility. As part of the new API, we've created a new endpoint for getting simulations with the new schema.
