TriFrost 0.18.0 (FrostBite) is here, bringing production-ready authentication into the framework.
This release adds:
- BasicAuth — username + password over HTTP Basic
- BearerAuth — token-based service and API checks
- ApiKeyAuth — flexible header or query key validation
- SessionCookieAuth — secure HMAC-signed session cookies
Plug in a middleware, get type-safe $auth state, and guard your routes confidently — no extra ceremony.
Under the hood, we’ve also unified cross-runtime environment handling, ensuring cleaner, more predictable setups across Node, Bun, and Workerd with no extra ... you guessed it ... ceremony.
A Markdown-Driven Website
Our website has quietly leveled up.
The blog and news sections now run entirely on Markdown, giving us:
- Faster, simpler content updates.
- Improved interactivity and visual polish, powered by the same engine you use in apps.
- A clear path toward the next big challenge: the docs system.
What’s on the Horizon
Next up, we’re turning our focus to documentation.
We’re aiming for:
- ✅ Markdown-first docs
- ✅ Embedded doc search
- ✅ LLM-ready docs (think MCP, take the docs with you wherever you go)
It’s ambitious — but it fits the TriFrost spirit.
Looking Ahead
This is just the start of TriFrost’s journey.
Step by step, we’re building not just a framework — but a platform that’s fast, type-safe, secure, and a pleasure to use.
Stay frosty. ❄️
