Breaking change: Endpoint Authentication

The default setting is now 'must authenticate'. This means if you have custom endpoints that are currently open and you want them to stay that way, add this block to the JS file:

module.exports.model = {
  settings: {
    authenticate: false
  }
}

Connection module

Previously created connections for every loaded collection, resulting in a new connection pool for each collection. New behaviour is to create one connection per database - if you aren't using enableCollectionDatabases then this means you'll only be making one connection to the database.

Other

• Fix #39. Apply apiVersion filter to query only if it's configured using the useVersionFilter property (ed1c1d8)
• Fix #38. Allow Mixed fields through to the data query, giving back the power to use dot notation in the query (49a0a07)
• Add timestamps to console log statements (018f4f2)
• Modify API host and port requirements. null for host will allow connections on any IPv6 address (if available), otherwise any IPv4 address. If port is 0 a random port will be assigned (3d5e0e0)
• Add response to OPTIONS requests, thanks @eduardoboucas (969d808)
• Add authentication on a per-HTTP method basis, thanks @eduardoboucas (a00b72c)
• Use HTTP PUT for updates (also backwards-compatible with POST) (865e7f6)
• Add WWW-Authenticate header to when sending HTTP 401 responses (4708020)
• Add config settings for log file rotation (4e7e81d)
• Add logging level to limit log records (e282e62)

1.3.0

Fix #13: Removed auto-creation of API docs path (should only happen if api-doc module is installed) Close #14: Load domain-specific configuration if matching file exists Close #16: Check that generated auth token doesn't already exist, generate new one if it does Close #18: Validate skip & page parameters before calling model.find() Close #19: Database replicaSet property should be a String, not a Boolean Cache: add Redis caching ability and extend config to allow switching between filesystem and Redis caches Cache: locate endpoint matching the request URL using path-to-regex so we can be certain of a match
