v0.6.0

Nova.chain() has been removed from the public API. Route-specific middleware is now handled exclusively through Attributes (--@Guard, --@Interceptor, --@Validator).

Added

• Exception handling utility with common HTTP error responses (Nova.exception) (#76)
• Request validation via --@Validator attribute with support for body, param, and query (#73)
• Interceptor support via --@Interceptor attribute using onion architecture (#72)
• Guard attribute now supports multiple rules — --@Guard(Auth, Admin) (#72)
• Initial --@Guard attribute support with comment-based syntax (#69)

Changed

• Startup logger now displays registered routes with their applied Attributes (#75)
• Runtime request logs now include status code and applied Attributes, with color-coded output by status class (2xx green, 3xx blue, 4xx/5xx red) (#75)
• Core architecture restructured and modularized; adapters renamed (#71)
• libs/ renamed to adapters/ (#69)
• Nova.chain() is no longer exposed publicly — route-specific middleware must now be defined using Attributes (#69)

Fixed

• Correct status property access in devMiddleware (#74)

---

Before

Home.Get = Nova.chain({ AuthMiddleware, AdminMiddleware }, function()
    return Nova.response.send("Hello, World")
end)

After

--@Guard(AuthRule, AdminRule)
--@Interceptor(TransformRule)
function Home.Get()
    return Nova.response.send("Hello, World")
end

v0.5.0

Nova now runs on Lune, Zune and Lute through a runtime adapter layer.

Added

• Lute Runtime Support: Added fs, net, process, serde, and task adapters, bringing full Lute runtime support to Nova.

v0.4.0

Added

• Runtime Abstraction Layer: Introduced an adapter pattern for core libraries (fs, net, process, serde, and task), decoupling the framework from specific runtime implementations.
• Zune Runtime Support: Added full support for the Zune runtime.

Changed

• Runtime-Agnostic Utilities: Refactored internal utility functions to utilize the new abstraction layer, removing direct dependencies on @lune built-ins.
• Enhanced CI Pipeline: Updated GitHub Actions to install Zune and execute the test suite across both Lune and Zune runtimes to ensure cross-runtime compatibility.
