<https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon|Hexagon Toolkit 3.0> was just released :confetti_ball: :tada:

*Release Highlights*
• Use same model and event handler for HTTP servers and clients (allowing the creation of middleware also for clients)
• Add 'Before' handlers and short circuit 'On' handlers to improve DX (previously, all matching 'On' handlers were executed)
• Exception handlers clear the handled exception to prevent further error processing, exception propagation is still possible through a parameter
• 3.x releases will be source compatible (enforced in the build process). Experimental modules are excluded and their APIs may change
• Native Image metadata inclusion to ease users' applications native compilation (tests pass in native mode at builds)
• Update Jetty adapter to v12
• Add Nima Adapter to take advantage of Java Virtual Threads (experimental)
*Future Features*
3.x releases will focus on extensions over the core functionality:
• OpenApi contracts generation / enforcement
• REST utilities for working with DTOs and ease integration tests
• Serverless support (FaaS)
• Messaging support (use the event handler to also support message queues)
• New adapters
• New middleware (callbacks / handlers)
• Use annotation processing to allow a Spring / Micronaut DX (optionally)
