Akka HTTP 10.1.2 released!

Dear hakkers,

We are happy to announce the release of Akka HTTP 10.1.2, which is the third release in the 10.1.x series of Akka HTTP.

Notably, this release:

  • Introduces “Graceful” Server Termination (#118): calling the newly introduced terminate on the ServerBinding will cause the binding to start gracefully rejecting new requests, while giving existing requests a deadline to complete normally.
  • Discards Entities in Default RejectionHandler (#38). Previously, when rejecting a request, the default rejection handler would not consume the request entity. The default rejection handlers have been updated to consume the request in this case.
  • Appends a newline to every element when streaming CSV (and NDJSON, #1931): Previously, CSV lines would only be interspersed with newlines, but no final newline would be sent. While arguably this was a bug in itself, it also had the unfortunate effect that a newline would only be emitted when the next CSV line became available, which is especially surprising in situations where CSV data is produced relatively slowly.
