[0.2.0] - 2026-02-04
--------------------
Added
^^^^^
- **Configuration Loader** — Load rate limiting configuration from external files:
- ``ConfigLoader`` class for loading ``RateLimitConfig`` and ``GlobalConfig``
- Support for ``.env`` files with ``FASTAPI_TRAFFIC_*`` prefixed variables
- Support for JSON configuration files
- Environment variable loading with ``load_rate_limit_config_from_env()`` and ``load_global_config_from_env()``
- Auto-detection of file format with ``load_rate_limit_config()`` and ``load_global_config()``
- Custom environment variable prefix support
- Type validation and comprehensive error handling
- 47 new tests for configuration loading
- Example ``11_config_loader.py`` demonstrating all configuration loading patterns
- ``get_stats()`` method to ``MemoryBackend`` for consistency with ``RedisBackend``
- Comprehensive test suite with 134 tests covering:
- All five rate limiting algorithms with timing and concurrency tests
- Backend tests for Memory and SQLite with edge cases
- Decorator and middleware integration tests
- Exception handling and configuration validation
- End-to-end integration tests with FastAPI apps
- ``httpx`` and ``pytest-asyncio`` as dev dependencies for testing
Changed
^^^^^^^
- Improved documentation in README.md and DEVELOPMENT.md
- Added ``asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope`` config for pytest-asyncio compatibility
[0.1.0] - 2025-01-09
--------------------
Initial release.
Added
^^^^^
- Core rate limiting with ``@rate_limit`` decorator
- Five algorithms:
- Token Bucket
- Sliding Window
- Fixed Window
- Leaky Bucket
- Sliding Window Counter
- Three storage backends:
- Memory (default) — In-memory with LRU eviction
- SQLite — Persistent storage with WAL mode
- Redis — Distributed storage with Lua scripts
- Middleware support for global rate limiting via ``RateLimitMiddleware``
- Dependency injection support with ``RateLimitDependency``
- Custom key extractors for flexible rate limit grouping (by IP, API key, user, etc.)
- Configurable exemptions with ``exempt_when`` callback
- Rate limit headers (``X-RateLimit-Limit``, ``X-RateLimit-Remaining``, ``X-RateLimit-Reset``)
- ``RateLimitExceeded`` exception with ``retry_after`` and ``limit_info``
- Full async support throughout
- Strict type hints (pyright/mypy compatible)
