- Run global middleware for all requests, including OPTIONS preflights, NotFound, and MethodNotAllowed — previously bypassed by httprouter's internal handling
- Implement Hijacker, Flusher, and Pusher on the response writer for WebSocket, SSE, and HTTP/2 push support
- Fix CORS: echo a single matching origin, handle AllowCredentials with wildcard, append Vary: Origin
- Logger logs from a defer to capture correct status on panicked requests
- Static and StaticFS accept route middleware; add Context.AddHeader; warn on NotFound handler override
- Add Static(prefix, root) to serve files from disk on Kite and Group
- Add StaticFS(prefix, fs) to serve from any http.FileSystem on Kite and Group
- Add SPA(root) and SPAFS(fs) for Single Page Application serving — falls back to index.html for unknown paths so client-side routing works correctly
Core framework:
- Kite router with full HTTP method support (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, CONNECT, TRACE)
- Nestable route groups with prefix and middleware inheritance
- Global, group, and route-level middleware with onion ordering
- Centralized error, not-found, and method-not-allowed handlers
- Graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT with configurable timeout
- Configurable server read, write, and idle timeouts
- Context with typed request/response helpers, value store, cookie, form, and body binding support
- Response writer wrapper for status code tracking
Middleware:
- Logger with configurable output, format, and skip function
- Recovery with configurable panic handler
- RequestID with configurable header and generator, forwards incoming IDs
- CORS with configurable origins, methods, headers, credentials, and max age
- MaxBodySize with configurable byte limit

- README with quickstart, routing, middleware, context API reference, and TLS guide
