AI Summary

Express 3.20.0 includes bug fixes for trust proxy inheritance when mounting apps, expands ETag generation to all request methods (not just GET and HEAD), and updates multiple dependencies including connect@2.29.0 and send@0.12.1.

Key Highlights

Fixed trust proxy setting to properly inherit when app is mounted
ETag generation now applies to all request responses (previously only GET and HEAD)
Updated connect dependency to version 2.29.0
Updated send dependency to 0.12.1 with improved file stat handling
Content-Type header parsing now uses the content-type library

Breaking Changes

ETags are now generated for all request responses, not just GET and HEAD requests. This could affect applications relying on the previous behavior where ETags were only generated for GET and HEAD requests.

New Features

ETag generation for all HTTP methods (GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
Inherited trust proxy settings when mounting Express apps
Improved Content-Type header parsing using the content-type library
