+Next Release
+============
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Users can now provide dotted Python names to as the ``factory`` argument
+  the Configurator methods named ``add_{view,route,subscriber}_predicate`` 
+  (instead of passing the predicate factory directly, you can pass a 
+  dotted name which refers to the factory).
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- Fix an exception in ``pyramid.path.package_name`` when resolving the package
+  name for namespace packages that had no ``__file__`` attribute.
+
+Backwards Incompatibilities
+---------------------------
+
+- Pyramid has dropped native support for the Mako and Chameleon templating 
+  system renderers. To re-add support for these renderers into your existing 
+  projects, there are 3 steps:
+
+  - Add ``pyramid_mako`` and/or ``pyramid_chameleon`` as dependencies by
+    adding them to the `install_requires` section of your package's `setup.py`::
+
+        setup(
+            #...
+            install_requires=[
+                'pyramid_mako',         # new dependency
+                'pyramid_chameleon',    # new dependency
+                'pyramid',
+                #...
+            ],
+        )
+
+  - Update instances of the ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` to ``include`` the
+    one or the other (or both) required addons::
+
+        config.include('pyramid_chameleon')
+        config.include('pyramid_mako')
+
+  - If any unit tests are invoking either ``pyramid.renderers.render()`` or
+    ``pyramid.renderers.render_to_response()`` with either Mako or Chameleon
+    templates then the ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` instance at the root of
+    the unit test should be also be updated to include the addons, as shown
+    above. For example::
+
+        config = pyramid.testing.setUp()
+        config.include('pyramid_mako')
+
+        result = pyramid.renderers.render('mypkg:templates/home.mako', {})
+
+  Note that if you're using the Pyramid debug toolbar, when you upgrade 
+  Pyramid, you'll also need to upgrade the ``pyramid_debugtoolbar`` package to
+  at least version 1.0.8, as older versions are not compatible with Pyramid
+  1.5a2+ due to this change.
+
+- Removed the ``request.response_*`` varying attributes. These attributes
+  have been deprecated since Pyramid 1.1, and as per the deprecation policy,
+  have now been removed.
+
+- ``request.response`` will no longer be mutated when using the 
+  ``pyramid.renderers.render()`` API.  Almost all renderers mutate the 
+  ``request.response`` response object (for example, the JSON renderer sets
+  ``request.response.content_type`` to ``application/json``), but this is
+  only necessary when the renderer is generating a response; it was a bug
+  when it was done as a side effect of calling ``pyramid.renderers.render()``.
+
+- Removed the ``bfg2pyramid`` fixer script.
+
+- The ``pyramid.events.NewResponse`` event is now sent **after** response 
+  callbacks are executed.  It previously executed before response callbacks
+  were executed.  Rationale: it's more useful to be able to inspect the response
+  after response callbacks have done their jobs instead of before.
+
+- Removed the class named ``pyramid.view.static`` that had been deprecated
+  since Pyramid 1.1.  Instead use ``pyramid.static.static_view`` with
+  ``use_subpath=True`` argument.
+
+- Removed the ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function that had been deprecated
+  since Pyramid 1.1.  Use the ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response`` method
+  instead.
+
+- Removed the ability to pass the following arguments to
+  ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route``: `view``, ``view_context``.
+  ``view_for``, ``view_permission``, ``view_renderer``, and ``view_attr``.
+  Using these arguments had been deprecated since Pyramid 1.1.  Instead of
+  passing view-related arguments to ``add_route``, use a separate call to
+  ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view`` to associate a view with a route
+  using its ``route_name`` argument.  Note that this impacts the
+  ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_static_view`` function too, because it
+  delegates to ``add_route``.
+
+- Removed the ability to influence and query a ``pyramid.request.Request``
+  object as if it were a dictionary.  Previously it was possible to use methods
+  like ``__getitem__``, ``get``, ``items``, and other dictlike methods to
+  access values in the WSGI environment.  This behavior had been deprecated
+  since Pyramid 1.1.  Use methods of ``request.environ`` (a real dictionary)
+  instead.
+
+- Removed ancient backwards compatibily hack in
+  ``pyramid.traversal.DefaultRootFactory`` which populated the ``__dict__`` of
+  the factory with the matchdict values for compatibility with BFG 0.9.
+
+- The ``renderer_globals_factory`` argument to the
+  ``pyramid.config.Configurator` constructor and its ``setup_registry`` method
+  has been removed.  The ``set_renderer_globals_factory`` method of
+  ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` has also been removed.  The (internal)
+  ``pyramid.interfaces.IRendererGlobals`` interface was also removed.  These
+  arguments, methods and interfaces had been deprecated since 1.1.  Use a
+  ``BeforeRender`` event subscriber as documented in the "Hooks" chapter of the
+  Pyramid narrative documentation instead of providing renderer globals values
+  to the configurator.
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+- The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_property`` method now issues
+  a deprecation warning when used.  It had been docs-deprecated in 1.4
+  but did not issue a deprecation warning when used.
+

-      In Pyramid 1.0, you could set attributes on a
-      :class:`pyramid.request.Request` which influenced the behavior of
-      *rendered* responses (views which use a :term:`renderer` and which
-      don't directly return a response).  These attributes began with
-      ``response_``, such as ``response_headerlist``. If you needed to
-      influence response values from a view that uses a renderer (such as the

-      attributes.  See :ref:`response_prefixed_attrs` for further discussion.
-      As of Pyramid 1.1, assignment to ``response_*`` attrs is deprecated.
-      Assigning to one is still supported but will cause a deprecation
-      warning to be emitted, and eventually the feature will be removed.  For
-      new code, instead of assigning ``response_*`` attributes to the

 Pyramid Has Too Many Dependencies

-This is true.  At the time of this writing (Pyramid 1.3), the total number of

+only 7.  This number is unlikely to become any smaller.
 
-In the future, we may also move templating system dependencies out of the
-core and place them in add-on packages, to be included by developers instead
-of by the framework.  This would reduce the number of core dependencies by
-about five, leaving us with only five remaining core dependencies.
+A port to Python 3 completed in Pyramid 1.3 helped us shed a good number of

-Two built-in renderers exist for :term:`Chameleon` templates.
-
-If the ``renderer`` attribute of a view configuration is an absolute path, a
-relative path or :term:`asset specification` which has a final path element
-with a filename extension of ``.pt``, the Chameleon ZPT renderer is used.
-See :ref:`chameleon_zpt_templates` for more information about ZPT templates.
-
-If the ``renderer`` attribute of a view configuration is an absolute path or

-extension of ``.txt``, the :term:`Chameleon` text renderer is used.  See
-:ref:`chameleon_text_templates` for more information about Chameleon text
-templates.
-
-The behavior of these renderers is the same, except for the engine
-used to render the template.
-
-When a ``renderer`` attribute that names a template path or :term:`asset
-specification` (e.g. ``myproject:templates/foo.pt`` or
-``myproject:templates/foo.txt``) is used, the view must return a
-:term:`Response` object or a Python *dictionary*.  If the view callable with
-an associated template returns a Python dictionary, the named template will
-be passed the dictionary as its keyword arguments, and the template renderer
-implementation will return the resulting rendered template in a response to
-the user.  If the view callable returns anything but a Response object or a
-dictionary, an error will be raised.
-
-Before passing keywords to the template, the keyword arguments derived from
-the dictionary returned by the view are augmented.  The callable object --
-whatever object was used to define the view -- will be automatically inserted
-into the set of keyword arguments passed to the template as the ``view``
-keyword.  If the view callable was a class, the ``view`` keyword will be an
-instance of that class.  Also inserted into the keywords passed to the
-template are ``renderer_name`` (the string used in the ``renderer`` attribute
-of the directive), ``renderer_info`` (an object containing renderer-related
-information), ``context`` (the context resource of the view used to render
-the template), and ``request`` (the request passed to the view used to render
-the template).  ``request`` is also available as ``req`` in Pyramid 1.3+.

-``*.mak`` or ``*.mako``: Mako Template Renderer
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``Mako`` template renderer renders views using a Mako template.  When
-used, the view must return a Response object or a Python *dictionary*.  The
-dictionary items will then be used in the global template space. If the view
-callable returns anything but a Response object or a dictionary, an error
-will be raised.
-
-When using a ``renderer`` argument to a :term:`view configuration` to specify
-a Mako template, the value of the ``renderer`` may be a path relative to the
-``mako.directories`` setting (e.g.  ``some/template.mak``) or, alternately,
-it may be a :term:`asset specification`
-(e.g. ``apackage:templates/sometemplate.mak``).  Mako templates may
-internally inherit other Mako templates using a relative filename or a
-:term:`asset specification` as desired.
-
-Here's an example view configuration which uses a relative path:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-   :linenos:
-
-    # config is an instance of pyramid.config.Configurator
-
-    config.add_view('myproject.views.hello_world',

-                    context='myproject.resources.Hello',
-                    renderer='foo.mak')
-
-It's important to note that in Mako's case, the 'relative' path name
-``foo.mak`` above is not relative to the package, but is relative to the
-directory (or directories) configured for Mako via the ``mako.directories``
-configuration file setting.
-
-The renderer can also be provided in :term:`asset specification`
-format. Here's an example view configuration which uses one:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-   :linenos:
-
-    config.add_view('myproject.views.hello_world',

-
-The above configuration will use the file named ``foo.mak`` in the
-``templates`` directory of the ``mypackage`` package.

-Using ZPT Macros in :app:`Pyramid`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-When a :term:`renderer` is used to render a template, :app:`Pyramid` makes at
-least two top-level names available to the template by default: ``context``
-and ``request``.  One of the common needs in ZPT-based templates is to use
-one template's "macros" from within a different template.  In Zope, this is
-typically handled by retrieving the template from the ``context``.  But the
-context in :app:`Pyramid` is a :term:`resource` object, and templates cannot
-usually be retrieved from resources.  To use macros in :app:`Pyramid`, you
-need to make the macro template itself available to the rendered template by
-passing the macro template, or even the macro itself, *into* the rendered
-template.  To do this you can use the :func:`pyramid.renderers.get_renderer`
-API to retrieve the macro template, and pass it into the template being
-rendered via the dictionary returned by the view.  For example, using a
-:term:`view configuration` via a :class:`~pyramid.view.view_config` decorator
-that uses a :term:`renderer`:
-

-Using A Chameleon Macro Name Within a Renderer Name

-(e.g. ``<div metal:define-macro="bar">...</div>``), you can configure the

-   @view_config(renderer='foo#bar.pt')

-composed entirely of non-XML text via :term:`Chameleon`.  To do so,
-you can create templates that are entirely composed of text except for
-``${name}`` -style substitution points.
-
-Here's an example usage of a Chameleon text template.  Create a file
-on disk named ``mytemplate.txt`` in your project's ``templates``
-directory with the following contents:
-
-.. code-block:: text
-
-   Hello, ${name}!
-

-   from pyramid.view import view_config
-
-   @view_config(renderer='templates/mytemplate.txt')

-Side Effects of Rendering a Chameleon Template
-----------------------------------------------
-
-When a Chameleon template is rendered from a file, the templating
-engine writes a file in the same directory as the template file itself
-as a kind of cache, in order to do less work the next time the
-template needs to be read from disk. If you see "strange" ``.py``
-files showing up in your ``templates`` directory (or otherwise
-directly "next" to your templates), it is due to this feature.
-
-If you're using a version control system such as Subversion, you
-should configure it to ignore these files.  Here's the contents of the
-author's ``svn propedit svn:ignore .`` in each of my ``templates``
-directories.

-extension and my Chameleon text template files with a ``.txt``
-extension so that these ``svn:ignore`` patterns work.

-Prior iterations of :app:`Pyramid` were released as a package named

-their deployments to :app:`Pyramid`, as, after the first final release
-of :app:`Pyramid`, further feature development on :mod:`repoze.bfg`
-will cease.
-
-Most existing :mod:`repoze.bfg` applications can be converted to a

-However, if your application depends on packages which are not "core"
-parts of :mod:`repoze.bfg` but which nonetheless have ``repoze.bfg``
-in their names (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.skins``,
-``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper``, ``repoze.bfg.jinja2``), you will need
-to find an analogue for each.  For example, by the time you read this,
-there will be a ``pyramid_jinja2`` package, which can be used instead
-of ``repoze.bfg.jinja2``.  If an analogue does not seem to exist for a
-``repoze.bfg`` add-on package that your application uses, please email
-the `Pylons-devel <http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-devel>`_
-maillist; we'll convert the package to a :app:`Pyramid` analogue for
-you.
-
-Here's how to convert a :mod:`repoze.bfg` application to a

-
-#. Ensure that your application works under :mod:`repoze.bfg` *version
-   1.3 or better*.  See
-   `http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/1.3/narr/install.html
-   <http://docs.repoze.org/bfg/1.3/narr/install.html>`_ for
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg` 1.3 installation instructions.  If your
-   application has an automated test suite, run it while your
-   application is using :mod:`repoze.bfg` 1.3+.  Otherwise, test it
-   manually.  It is only safe to proceed to the next step once your
-   application works under :mod:`repoze.bfg` 1.3+.
-
-   If your application has a proper set of dependencies, and a
-   standard automated test suite, you might test your
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg` application against :mod:`repoze.bfg` 1.3 like
-   so:
-
-   .. code-block:: bash
-
-     $ $VENV/bin/python setup.py test
-
-   ``bfgenv`` above will be the virtualenv into which you've installed
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg` 1.3.
-
-#. Install :app:`Pyramid` into a *separate* virtualenv as per the
-   instructions in :ref:`installing_chapter`.  The :app:`Pyramid`
-   virtualenv should be separate from the one you've used to install
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg`.  A quick way to do this:
-
-   .. code-block:: bash
-
-      $ cd ~
-      $ virtualenv pyramidenv
-      $ cd pyramidenv
-      $ $VENV/bin/easy_install pyramid
-
-#. Put a *copy* of your :mod:`repoze.bfg` application into a temporary
-   location (perhaps by checking a fresh copy of the application out
-   of a version control repository).  For example:
-
-   .. code-block:: bash
-
-      $ cd /tmp
-      $ svn co http://my.server/my/bfg/application/trunk bfgapp
-
-#. Use the ``bfg2pyramid`` script present in the ``bin`` directory of
-   the :app:`Pyramid` virtualenv to convert all :mod:`repoze.bfg`
-   Python import statements into compatible :app:`Pyramid` import
-   statements. ``bfg2pyramid`` will also fix ZCML directive usages of
-   common :mod:`repoze.bfg` directives. You invoke ``bfg2pyramid`` by
-   passing it the *path* of the copy of your application.  The path
-   passed should contain a "setup.py" file, representing your
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg` application's setup script.  ``bfg2pyramid`` will
-   change the copy of the application *in place*.
-
-   .. code-block:: bash
- 
-      $ ~/pyramidenv/bfg2pyramid /tmp/bfgapp
-
-   ``bfg2pyramid`` will convert the following :mod:`repoze.bfg`
-   application aspects to :app:`Pyramid` compatible analogues:
-
-   - Python ``import`` statements naming :mod:`repoze.bfg` APIs will
-     be converted to :app:`Pyramid` compatible ``import`` statements.
-     Every Python file beneath the top-level path will be visited and
-     converted recursively, except Python files which live in
-     directories which start with a ``.`` (dot).
-
-   - Each ZCML file found (recursively) within the path will have the
-     default ``xmlns`` attribute attached to the ``configure`` tag
-     changed from ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` to
-     ``http://pylonshq.com/pyramid``.  Every ZCML file beneath the
-     top-level path (files ending with ``.zcml``) will be visited and
-     converted recursively, except ZCML files which live in
-     directories which start with a ``.`` (dot).
-
-   - ZCML files which contain directives that have attributes which
-     name a ``repoze.bfg`` API module or attribute of an API module
-     (e.g. ``context="repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound"``) will be
-     converted to :app:`Pyramid` compatible ZCML attributes
-     (e.g. ``context="pyramid.exceptions.NotFound``).  Every ZCML file
-     beneath the top-level path (files ending with ``.zcml``) will be
-     visited and converted recursively, except ZCML files which live
-     in directories which start with a ``.`` (dot).
-
-#. Edit the ``setup.py`` file of the application you've just converted
-   (if you've been using the example paths, this will be
-   ``/tmp/bfgapp/setup.py``) to depend on the ``pyramid`` distribution
-   instead the of ``repoze.bfg`` distribution in its
-   ``install_requires`` list.  If you used a scaffold to
-   create the :mod:`repoze.bfg` application, you can do so by changing
-   the ``requires`` line near the top of the ``setup.py`` file.  The
-   original may look like this:
-
-   .. code-block:: text
-
-     requires = ['repoze.bfg', ... other dependencies ...]
-
-   Edit the ``setup.py`` so it has:
-
-   .. code-block:: text
-
-     requires = ['pyramid', ... other dependencies ...]
-
-   All other install-requires and tests-requires dependencies save for
-   the one on ``repoze.bfg`` can remain the same.
-
-#. Convert any ``install_requires`` dependencies your application has
-   on other add-on packages which have ``repoze.bfg`` in their names
-   to :app:`Pyramid` compatible analogues (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.jinja2``
-   should be replaced with ``pyramid_jinja2``).  You may need to
-   adjust configuration options and/or imports in your
-   :mod:`repoze.bfg` application after replacing these add-ons.  Read
-   the documentation of the :app:`Pyramid` add-on package for
-   information.
-
-#. *Only if you use ZCML and add-ons which use ZCML*: The default
-   ``xmlns`` of the ``configure`` tag in ZCML has changed.  The
-   ``bfg2pyramid`` script effects the default namespace change (it
-   changes the ``configure`` tag default ``xmlns`` from
-   ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` to
-   ``http://pylonshq.com/pyramid``).
-
-   This means that uses of add-ons which define ZCML directives in the
-   ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` namespace will begin to "fail"
-   (they're actually not really failing, but your ZCML assumes that
-   they will always be used within a ``configure`` tag which names the
-   ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` namespace as its default
-   ``xmlns``). Symptom: when you attempt to start the application, an
-   error such as ``ConfigurationError: ('Unknown directive',
-   u'http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg', u'workflow')`` is printed to
-   the console and the application fails to start.  In such a case,
-   either add an ``xmlns="http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg"``
-   attribute to each tag which causes a failure, or define a namespace
-   alias in the configure tag and prefix each failing tag.  For
-   example, change this "failing" tag instance::
-
-     <configure xmlns="http://pylonshq.com/pyramid">
-         <failingtag attr="foo"/>
-     </configure>
- 
-   To this, which will begin to succeed::
-
-     <configure xmlns="http://pylonshq.com/pyramid"
-                xmlns:bfg="http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg">
-         <bfg:failingtag attr="foo"/>
-     </configure>
-
-   You will also need to add the ``pyramid_zcml`` package to your
-   ``setup.py`` ``install_requires`` list.  In Pyramid, ZCML configuration
-   became an optional add-on supported by the ``pyramid_zcml`` package.
-
-#. Retest your application using :app:`Pyramid`.  This might be as
-   easy as:
-
-   .. code-block:: bash
-
-     $ cd /tmp/bfgapp
-     $ $VENV/bin/python setup.py test
-
-#. Fix any test failures.
-
-#. Fix any code which generates deprecation warnings.
-
-#. Start using the converted version of your application.  Celebrate.
-
-Two terminological changes have been made to Pyramid which make its
-documentation and newer APIs different than those of ``repoze.bfg``.  The
-concept that BFG called ``model`` is called ``resource`` in Pyramid and the
-concept that BFG called ``resource`` is called ``asset`` in Pyramid.  Various
-APIs have changed as a result (although all have backwards compatible shims).
-Additionally, the environment variables that influenced server behavior which
-used to be prefixed with ``BFG_`` (such as ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND``) must now
-be prefixed with ``PYRAMID_``.

-          callable is a function) to obtain a response dictionary.
-          The ``attr`` value allows you to vary the method attribute
-          used to obtain the response.  For example, if your view was
-          a class, and the class has a method named ``index`` and you
-          wanted to use this method instead of the class' ``__call__``
-          method to return the response, you'd say ``attr="index"`` in
-          the view configuration for the view.  This is
-          most useful when the view definition is a class.
