Did the MiddlewareHandlerContext-state change?

[bfkss]

I used to assign my state-object directly to ctx.state via

ctx.state = {
  foo: 'bar'
}

but since 1.2 or 1.3 I can only assign to properties of ctx.state, e.g.:

ctx.state.foo = 'bar'
// or
ctx.state.data = {
  foo: 'bar'
}

Assigning an object leads to ctx.state = {} in the next handler after calling ctx.next().

I haven't seen this documented and am not sure whether it is intended?

No, this is not intentional and is a bug. Made an issue from that #1497 .
