v1.4.0

Release Summary: v1.0.0 → v1.4.0

📦 NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/HttpInspector.AspNetCore/1.4.0

This release cycle transforms HttpInspector from a basic request logger into a fully interactive, UI-driven debugging tool with replay support, retention controls, and full outgoing-request tracking.

v1.1.0 – UI Overhaul & Packaging Automation

• Complete redesign of the embedded dashboard (dark theme, richer headers, pills, improved filtering).
• Added publishing automation scripts and fixed CI badges.
• Improved release workflow to prevent tagging issues.
• Updated documentation and assets to match the new UI.

v1.2.0 – Log Retention & Time Controls

• Introduced full retention management: max file sizes, day-based cleanup, rolling JSONL segments, and fast binary-search retrieval.
• UseHttpInspector now accepts store-configuration options for custom log locations and retention tuning.
• Added absolute/relative time pickers and a real-time mode in the UI.
• Expanded tests ensuring retention changes don’t break filtering or replay.

v1.3.0 – Request Replay & Storage Flexibility

• Added a full Replay panel with cURL/PowerShell generation and direct in-UI execution.
• Improved replay UX: session tracking, deep-link anchors, clearer controls, and better layout.
• Hosts can now relocate the log root directory via DI/options.
• Evolved HttpInspector from passive log viewer to an interactive debugging surface.

v1.4.0 – Outgoing HTTP Tracking

• Added HttpInspectorOutgoingHandler to capture outgoing HttpClient requests with correlation to parent inbound requests.
• New UI for outgoing calls: collapsible child cards, counters, host/shortId summaries, improved ordering, and copy-URL helpers.
• Updated samples and documentation to highlight external-call tracing and new dashboard visuals.

Initial version

• Plug-and-play middleware: add builder.Services.AddHttpInspector() and app.UseHttpInspector() to capture structured
  request/response logs (bodies, headers, timings, correlation IDs) without extra controllers or endpoints.
• File-backed event store: default FileHttpInspectorStore appends JSONL logs with safe sharing semantics, supports
  since= queries, and skips malformed lines gracefully.
• Embedded inspector UI: served automatically at /http-inspector, includes live polling, filtering, colored status
  badges, expandable request/response panes, and preserves expanded rows between refreshes.
• Configurable options: enable/disable logging, limit body capture, redact headers, require auth, and include/exclude
  paths using glob patterns.
• NuGet-ready package: multi-targets .NET 8/9, emits XML docs + .snupkg, SourceLink-enabled, README bundled, and
  GitHub Actions workflow publishes to NuGet.org & GitHub Packages on tagged releases.
• Sample + tests: runnable SampleApp demonstrates integration; xUnit tests cover option defaults and store round-
  trips.
