Dear Iris Community,

You might have noticed a recent lull in activity on the Iris repository. I want to assure you that this silence is not without reason. For the past 3-4 months, I've been diligently working on the next major release of Iris.

This upcoming version is poised to be a significant leap forward, fully embracing the Generics feature introduced in Go. We're not just stopping at Generics, though. Expect a suite of new features, enhancements, and optimizations that will elevate your development experience to new heights.

My journey with Go spans over 8 years, and with each year, my expertise and understanding of the language deepen. This accumulated knowledge is being poured into Iris, ensuring that the framework not only evolves with the language but also with the community's growing needs.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support and patience. The wait will be worth it.

Warm regards,
Gerasimos (Makis) Maropoulos

This is the last release for the version 12 family.

What's Changed

• Add optional Singleton() bool method to controllers to mark them as singleton, will panic with a specific error if a controller expects dynamic dependencies. This behavior is idendical to the app-driven app.EnsureStaticBindings().
• Non-zero fields of a controller that are marked as ignored, with ignore:"true" field tag, they are not included in the dependencies at all now.
• Re-add error log on context rich write (e.g. JSON) failures when the application is running under debug mode (with app.Logger().SetLevel("debug")) and there is no a registered context error handler at place.
• master branch finally renamed to main. Don't worry GitHub will still navigate any master request to main automatically. Examples, Documentation and other Pages are refactored too.
• Translate README to Vietnamese by @TrungKenbi in https://github.com/kataras/iris/pull/2182
• add Japanese README by @demouth in https://github.com/kataras/iris/pull/2188
