v1.7.1 is a minor maintenance release. It improves documentation, and fixes a bug (#149) that caused missing tokens to not provide a clear error message back to the client.

CHANGELOG

• bugfix: Not providing any token in requests results in wrong error message (#149)
• Add a note about secrecy of CSRF token in the README.md (#154) @maxximino
• Add note about csrf.Path option (#147) @karelbilek
• build: use build matrix; drop Go <= 1.10 (#142) @elithrar
• docs: change TrustedOrigin to TrustedOrigins in README (#140) @mittonface
• docs: add TOC to README (#137) @elithrar

📢 This release of gorilla/csrf changes the default SameSite cookie attribute to address changes in the SameSite spec (see golang/go#36990)

Previously: The SameSiteDefaultMode in csrf (prior to v1.7.0) would set SameSite on the cookie, which is not valid in some browsers, notably older versions of Chrome/Android. These browsers would not set cookies with this "invalid" attribute.
Now: The default mode is SameSite=Lax, which is supported by Chrome v51, Firefox v60, Safari v13 and most recent browsers.

If you're new to SameSite, read the MDN documentation for a great overview on why this attribute helps prevent cookies from being 'leaked' to third-party domains unintentionally.

CHANGELOG

• Set SameSite=Lax by default (#136) @elithrar
• Don't set a default samesite for backwards compatibility (#132) @euank

Notable Changes

🆕 This release introduces the TrustedOrigins option, which allows a user to explicitly trust specific Referers. This simplifies the use of this library when the backend domain (issuing the cookie) does not match the front-end domain, such as in Single Page Application architectures.

🐞 This release also fixes a regression to applying the default cookie MaxAge (cookies were only session cookies). This would typically have been unnoticed by most users as the CSRF middleware resets the cookie on each request.

CHANGELOG

• bugfix: correctly set a defaultMaxAge when MaxAge isn't called (#120) @elithrar
• Create release-drafter.yml (#118) @elithrar
• Add trusted origins feature (#117) @fjorgemota
• Add CircleCI status badge to README (#113) @elithrar

Notable Changes

• We've removed support for versions of Go prior to v1.7 - v1.6 was released over 3.5 years ago (@kisielk making me feel old!)
• As a result, we've also removed gorilla/context as a dependency, since Go 1.7+ has its own http.Request.Context() implementation
• Moved our CI to CircleCI - you can see the build dashboard here

gorilla/csrf defines a go.mod file and correctly defines a SemVer version (v1.5.1) to support versioning in upcoming releases of Go.
