Changelog

🚨 🚨 Breaking change 🚨 🚨

Prior to this release, the server stringified certain Postgres numeric types like bigint. Starting with this release, server will only stringify these types if --stringify-numeric-types flag or the env var HASURA_GRAPHQL_STRINGIFY_NUMERIC_TYPES is set. Specifically bigint, numeric, decimal and double precision as they don't fit into the IEEE-754 spec for JSON encoding-decoding. If you depend on the stringification of these types, please enable this flag while upgrading. (fix #1523) (#1662)

🎁 🎁 New features 🎁 🎁

• Server now allows renaming tables, columns through the run_sql API and relationships through rename_relationship API. Console now has option on the corresponding screen to do the renames. (close #79) (#1542)
• A new flag/env var (--enabled-apis, HASURA_GRAPHQL_ENABLED_APIS) is added to enable/disable certain APIs. This is particularly useful for production deployment scenarios where there is a requirement to disable the metadata APIs. Default is metadata,graphql where both APIs are enabled. (close #1088) (#1650)
• Cookies are now read while establishing a websocket connection. Note that if CORS is disabled server will NOT read the cookie and a special flag (--ws-read-cookie, HASURA_GRAPHQL_WS_READ_COOKIE) should be set to force server to read the cookie. Care should be taken to handle CORS elsewhere if you're forcing the behaviour. Otherwise this is vulnerable for cross-site scripting type attacks.. (fix #1660) (#1668)
