- The ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class, which is a subclass of

  ``webob.Request`` now defines its own ``__setattr__``,
  ``__getattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` methods, which override the
  default WebOb behavior.  The default WebOb behavior stores
  attributes of the request in ``self.environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']``,
  and retrieves them from that dictionary during a ``__getattr__``.
  This behavior was undesirable for speed and "expectation" reasons.
  Now attributes of the ``request`` are stored in ``request.__dict__``
  (as you otherwise might expect from an object that did not override
  these methods).

- The router no longer calls ``repoze.bfg.traversal._traverse`` and
  does its work "inline" (speed).
