labstack/echo

This system is the Echo v5 web framework for Go, providing core HTTP routing and middleware capabilities. It includes a dedicated testing package to simplify context construction and fixture loading for application developers. The codebase also establishes standard project maintenance practices, dependency management, and security-focused middleware configurations.

This change introduces the foundational configuration and documentation files for the Echo v5 release. It adds \.editorconfig\ and \.gitattributes\ to enforce consistent coding styles (2-space indentation for non-Go files, LF line endings) and \.gitignore\ to exclude IDE and build artifacts. A new \Makefile\ is provided with targets for linting, testing, and benchmarking. The release scope is defined by \API\_CHANGES\_V5.md\, which details the breaking changes from v4 to v5 (such as Context becoming a struct and the switch to slog), while \ROADMAP.md\ and \SECURITY.md\ establish the project's maintenance policy and security reporting guidelines.

The \echotest\ package is introduced to provide helper utilities for testing applications built with the Echo v5 framework. It includes a \ContextConfig\ struct that allows developers to easily construct \echo.Context\ instances with pre-configured query values, headers, form data, multipart forms, and JSON bodies, streamlining the setup of test scenarios. Additionally, a \LoadBytes\ helper is provided to simplify reading test fixture files relative to the test package directory, supporting optional transformations like trimming trailing newlines.

The example application (example/main.go) and its associated H2O server configuration (example/h2o.conf) have been removed from the repository. This eliminates the previous demonstration of a TCP-based service using the Bolt framework for user management and the external H2O reverse proxy setup.

example · high confidence

The middleware package has been reorganized to use a consistent configuration struct pattern (e.g., BasicAuthConfig, BodyDumpConfig) where middleware creation is driven by a ToMiddleware method, improving error handling and configuration safety. Security enhancements include constant-time comparison in BasicAuth to prevent timing attacks, stricter validation in CORS via UnsafeAllowOriginFunc, and default size limits in BodyDump to prevent memory exhaustion. Additionally, the Gzip middleware now supports a configurable minimum length threshold to avoid compressing small responses, and the BodyDump middleware uses sync.Pool for buffer reuse to optimize performance.

middleware · high confidence

Added a new \\_fixture\ directory containing sample files (HTML, text, assets) and TLS certificates (cert.pem, key.pem) used to support tests for the static file serving middleware and TLS listener functionality.

This change adds the go.mod and go.sum files, officially establishing the project as a Go module (github.com/labstack/echo/v5) with a minimum Go version of 1.25.0. It pins direct dependencies including golang.org/x/net v0.57.0, golang.org/x/time v0.15.0, and github.com/stretchr/testify v1.11.1, along with their indirect dependencies, enabling standard Go module workflows for versioning and dependency management.
