-- Tutorial improvements.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Modified the ``_depth`` argument to ``pyramid.view.view_config`` to accept
- a value relative to the invocation of ``view_config`` itself. Thus, when it
- was previously expecting a value of ``1`` or greater, to reflect that
- the caller of ``view_config`` is 1 stack frame away from ``venusian.attach``,
- this implementation detail is now hidden.
-
-- Modified the ``_backframes`` argument to ``pyramid.util.action_method`` in a
- similar way to the changes described to ``_depth`` above. This argument
- remains undocumented, but might be used in the wild by some insane person.
-
-1.4b1 (2012-11-21)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Small microspeed enhancement which anticipates that a
- ``pyramid.response.Response`` object is likely to be returned from a view.
- Some code is shortcut if the class of the object returned by a view is this
- class. A similar microoptimization was done to
- ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response``.
-
-- Make it possible to use variable arguments on ``p*`` commands (``pserve``,
- ``pshell``, ``pviews``, etc) in the form ``a=1 b=2`` so you can fill in
- values in parameterized ``.ini`` file, e.g. ``pshell etc/development.ini
- http_port=8080``. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/714
-
-- A somewhat advanced and obscure feature of Pyramid event handlers is their
- ability to handle "multi-interface" notifications. These notifications have
- traditionally presented multiple objects to the subscriber callable. For
- instance, if an event was sent by code like this::
-
- registry.notify(event, context)
-
- In the past, in order to catch such an event, you were obligated to write and
- register an event subscriber that mentioned both the event and the context in
- its argument list::
-
- @subscriber([SomeEvent, SomeContextType])
- def asubscriber(event, context):
- pass
-
- In many subscriber callables registered this way, it was common for the logic
- in the subscriber callable to completely ignore the second and following
- arguments (e.g. ``context`` in the above example might be ignored), because
- they usually existed as attributes of the event anyway. You could usually
- get the same value by doing ``event.context`` or similar.
-
- The fact that you needed to put an extra argument which you usually ignored
- in the subscriber callable body was only a minor annoyance until we added
- "subscriber predicates", used to narrow the set of circumstances under which
- a subscriber will be executed, in a prior 1.4 alpha release. Once those were
- added, the annoyance was escalated, because subscriber predicates needed to
- accept the same argument list and arity as the subscriber callables that they
- were configured against. So, for example, if you had these two subscriber
- registrations in your code::
-
- @subscriber([SomeEvent, SomeContextType])
- def asubscriber(event, context):
- pass
-
- @subscriber(SomeOtherEvent)
- def asubscriber(event):
- pass
-
- And you wanted to use a subscriber predicate::
-
- @subscriber([SomeEvent, SomeContextType], mypredicate=True)
- def asubscriber1(event, context):
- pass
-
- @subscriber(SomeOtherEvent, mypredicate=True)
- def asubscriber2(event):
- pass
-
- If an existing ``mypredicate`` subscriber predicate had been written in such
- a way that it accepted only one argument in its ``__call__``, you could not
- use it against a subscription which named more than one interface in its
- subscriber interface list. Similarly, if you had written a subscriber
- predicate that accepted two arguments, you couldn't use it against a
- registration that named only a single interface type.
-
- For example, if you created this predicate::
-
- class MyPredicate(object):
- # portions elided...
- def __call__(self, event):
- return self.val == event.context.foo
-
- It would not work against a multi-interface-registered subscription, so in
- the above example, when you attempted to use it against ``asubscriber1``, it
- would fail at runtime with a TypeError, claiming something was attempting to
- call it with too many arguments.
-
- To hack around this limitation, you were obligated to design the
- ``mypredicate`` predicate to expect to receive in its ``__call__`` either a
- single ``event`` argument (a SomeOtherEvent object) *or* a pair of arguments
- (a SomeEvent object and a SomeContextType object), presumably by doing
- something like this::
-
- class MyPredicate(object):
- # portions elided...
- def __call__(self, event, context=None):
- return self.val == event.context.foo
-
- This was confusing and bad.
-
- In order to allow people to ignore unused arguments to subscriber callables
- and to normalize the relationship between event subscribers and subscriber
- predicates, we now allow both subscribers and subscriber predicates to accept
- only a single ``event`` argument even if they've been subscribed for
- notifications that involve multiple interfaces. Subscribers and subscriber
- predicates that accept only one argument will receive the first object passed
- to ``notify``; this is typically (but not always) the event object. The
- other objects involved in the subscription lookup will be discarded. You can
- now write an event subscriber that accepts only ``event`` even if it
- subscribes to multiple interfaces::
-
- @subscriber([SomeEvent, SomeContextType])
- def asubscriber(event):
- # this will work!
-
- This prevents you from needing to match the subscriber callable parameters to
- the subscription type unnecessarily, especially when you don't make use of
- any argument in your subscribers except for the event object itself.
-
- Note, however, that if the event object is not the first
- object in the call to ``notify``, you'll run into trouble. For example, if
- notify is called with the context argument first::
-
- registry.notify(context, event)
-
- You won't be able to take advantage of the event-only feature. It will
- "work", but the object received by your event handler won't be the event
- object, it will be the context object, which won't be very useful::
-
- @subscriber([SomeContextType, SomeEvent])
- def asubscriber(event):
- # bzzt! you'll be getting the context here as ``event``, and it'll
- # be useless
-
- Existing multiple-argument subscribers continue to work without issue, so you
- should continue use those if your system notifies using multiple interfaces
- and the first interface is not the event interface. For example::
-
- @subscriber([SomeContextType, SomeEvent])
- def asubscriber(context, event):
- # this will still work!
-
- The event-only feature makes it possible to use a subscriber predicate that
- accepts only a request argument within both multiple-interface subscriber
- registrations and single-interface subscriber registrations. You needn't
- make slightly different variations of predicates depending on the
- subscription type arguments. Instead, just write all your subscriber
- predicates so they only accept ``event`` in their ``__call__`` and they'll be
- useful across all registrations for subscriptions that use an event as their
- first argument, even ones which accept more than just ``event``.
-
- However, the same caveat applies to predicates as to subscriber callables: if
- you're subscribing to a multi-interface event, and the first interface is not
- the event interface, the predicate won't work properly. In such a case,
- you'll need to match the predicate ``__call__`` argument ordering and
- composition to the ordering of the interfaces. For example, if the
- registration for the subscription uses ``[SomeContext, SomeEvent]``, you'll
- need to reflect that in the ordering of the parameters of the predicate's
- ``__call__`` method::
-
- def __call__(self, context, event):
- return event.request.path.startswith(self.val)
-
- tl;dr: 1) When using multi-interface subscriptions, always use the event type
- as the first subscription registration argument and 2) When 1 is true, use
- only ``event`` in your subscriber and subscriber predicate parameter lists,
- no matter how many interfaces the subscriber is notified with. This
- combination will result in the maximum amount of reusability of subscriber
- predicates and the least amount of thought on your part. Drink responsibly.

-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- A failure when trying to locate the attribute ``__text__`` on route and view
- predicates existed when the ``debug_routematch`` setting was true or when the
- ``pviews`` command was used. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/727
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Sync up tutorial source files with the files that are rendered by the
- scaffold that each uses.
-
-1.4a4 (2012-11-14)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` has been updated to
- support newer hashing algorithms such as ``sha512``. Existing applications
- should consider updating if possible for improved security over the default
- md5 hashing.
-
-- Added an ``effective_principals`` route and view predicate.
-
-- Do not allow the userid returned from the ``authenticated_userid`` or the
- userid that is one of the list of principals returned by
- ``effective_principals`` to be either of the strings ``system.Everyone`` or
- ``system.Authenticated`` when any of the built-in authorization policies that
- live in ``pyramid.authentication`` are in use. These two strings are
- reserved for internal usage by Pyramid and they will not be accepted as valid
- userids.
-
-- Slightly better debug logging from
- ``pyramid.authentication.RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy``.
-
-- ``pyramid.security.view_execution_permitted`` used to return ``True`` if no
- view could be found. It now raises a ``TypeError`` exception in that case, as
- it doesn't make sense to assert that a nonexistent view is
- execution-permitted. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/299.
-
-- Allow a ``_depth`` argument to ``pyramid.view.view_config``, which will
- permit limited composition reuse of the decorator by other software that
- wants to provide custom decorators that are much like view_config.
-
-- Allow an iterable of decorators to be passed to
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view``. This allows views to be wrapped
- by more than one decorator without requiring combining the decorators
- yourself.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- In the past if a renderer returned ``None``, the body of the resulting
- response would be set explicitly to the empty string. Instead, now, the body
- is left unchanged, which allows the renderer to set a body itself by using
- e.g. ``request.response.body = b'foo'``. The body set by the renderer will
- be unmolested on the way out. See
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/709
-
-- In uncommon cases, the ``pyramid_excview_tween_factory`` might have
- inadvertently raised a ``KeyError`` looking for ``request_iface`` as an
- attribute of the request. It no longer fails in this case. See
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/700
-
-- Be more tolerant of potential error conditions in ``match_param`` and
- ``physical_path`` predicate implementations; instead of raising an exception,
- return False.
-
-- ``pyramid.view.render_view`` was not functioning properly under Python 3.x
- due to a byte/unicode discrepancy. See
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/721
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` will emit a warning if
- an application is using the policy without explicitly passing a ``hashalg``
- argument. This is because the default is "md5" which is considered
- theoretically subject to collision attacks. If you really want "md5" then you
- must specify it explicitly to get rid of the warning.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- All of the tutorials that use
- ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` now explicitly pass
- ``sha512`` as a ``hashalg`` argument.
-
-
-Internals
----------
-
-- Move ``TopologicalSorter`` from ``pyramid.config.util`` to ``pyramid.util``,
- move ``CyclicDependencyError`` from ``pyramid.config.util`` to
- ``pyramid.exceptions``, rename ``Singleton`` to ``Sentinel`` and move from
- ``pyramid.config.util`` to ``pyramid.util``; this is in an effort to
- move that stuff that may be an API one day out of ``pyramid.config.util``,
- because that package should never be imported from non-Pyramid code.
- TopologicalSorter is still not an API, but may become one.
-
-- Get rid of shady monkeypatching of ``pyramid.request.Request`` and
- ``pyramid.response.Response`` done within the ``__init__.py`` of Pyramid.
- Webob no longer relies on this being done. Instead, the ResponseClass
- attribute of the Pyramid Request class is assigned to the Pyramid response
- class; that's enough to satisfy WebOb and behave as it did before with the
- monkeypatching.
-
-1.4a3 (2012-10-26)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The match_param predicate's text method was fixed to sort its values.
- Part of https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/705
-
-- 1.4a ``pyramid.scripting.prepare`` behaved differently than 1.3 series
- function of same name. In particular, if passed a request, it would not
- set the ``registry`` attribute of the request like 1.3 did. A symptom
- would be that passing a request to ``pyramid.paster.bootstrap`` (which uses
- the function) that did not have a ``registry`` attribute could assume that
- the registry would be attached to the request by Pyramid. This assumption
- could be made in 1.3, but not in 1.4. The assumption can now be made in
- 1.4 too (a registry is attached to a request passed to bootstrap or
- prepare).
-
-- When registering a view configuration that named a Chameleon ZPT renderer
- with a macro name in it (e.g. ``renderer='some/template#somemacro.pt``) as
- well as a view configuration without a macro name in it that pointed to the
- same template (e.g. ``renderer='some/template.pt'``), internal caching could
- confuse the two, and your code might have rendered one instead of the
- other.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow multiple values to be specified to the ``request_param`` view/route
- predicate as a sequence. Previously only a single string value was allowed.
- See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/705
-
-- Comments with references to documentation sections placed in scaffold
- ``.ini`` files.
-
-- Added an HTTP Basic authentication policy
- at ``pyramid.authentication.BasicAuthAuthenticationPolicy``.
-
-- The Configurator ``testing_securitypolicy`` method now returns the policy
- object it creates.
-
-- The Configurator ``testing_securitypolicy`` method accepts two new
- arguments: ``remember_result`` and ``forget_result``. If supplied, these
- values influence the result of the policy's ``remember`` and ``forget``
- methods, respectively.
-
-- The DummySecurityPolicy created by ``testing_securitypolicy`` now sets a
- ``forgotten`` value on the policy (the value ``True``) when its ``forget``
- method is called.
-
-- The DummySecurityPolicy created by ``testing_securitypolicy`` now sets a
- ``remembered`` value on the policy, which is the value of the ``principal``
- argument it's called with when its ``remember`` method is called.
-
-- New ``physical_path`` view predicate. If specified, this value should be a
- string or a tuple representing the physical traversal path of the context
- found via traversal for this predicate to match as true. For example:
- ``physical_path='/'`` or ``physical_path='/a/b/c'`` or ``physical_path=('',
- 'a', 'b', 'c')``. This is not a path prefix match or a regex, it's a
- whole-path match. It's useful when you want to always potentially show a
- view when some object is traversed to, but you can't be sure about what kind
- of object it will be, so you can't use the ``context`` predicate. The
- individual path elements inbetween slash characters or in tuple elements
- should be the Unicode representation of the name of the resource and should
- not be encoded in any way.
-
-1.4a2 (2012-09-27)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- When trying to determine Mako defnames and Chameleon macro names in asset
- specifications, take into account that the filename may have a hyphen in
- it. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/692
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ``pyramid.session.check_csrf_token`` convenience function was added.
-
-- A ``check_csrf`` view predicate was added. For example, you can now do
- ``config.add_view(someview, check_csrf=True)``. When the predicate is
- checked, if the ``csrf_token`` value in ``request.params`` matches the CSRF
- token in the request's session, the view will be permitted to execute.
- Otherwise, it will not be permitted to execute.
-
-- Add ``Base.metadata.bind = engine`` to alchemy template, so that tables
- defined imperatively will work.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- update wiki2 SQLA tutorial with the changes required after inserting
- ``Base.metadata.bind = engine`` into the alchemy scaffold.
-
-1.4a1 (2012-09-16)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Forward port from 1.3 branch: When no authentication policy was configured,
- a call to ``pyramid.security.effective_principals`` would unconditionally
- return the empty list. This was incorrect, it should have unconditionally
- returned ``[Everyone]``, and now does.
-
-- Explicit url dispatch regexes can now contain colons.
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/629
-
-- On at least one 64-bit Ubuntu system under Python 3.2, using the
- ``view_config`` decorator caused a ``RuntimeError: dictionary changed size
- during iteration`` exception. It no longer does. See
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/635 for more information.
-
-- In Mako Templates lookup, check if the uri is already adjusted and bring
- it back to an asset spec. Normally occurs with inherited templates or
- included components.
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/606
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/607
-
-- In Mako Templates lookup, check for absolute uri (using mako directories)
- when mixing up inheritance with asset specs.
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/662
-
-- HTTP Accept headers were not being normalized causing potentially
- conflicting view registrations to go unnoticed. Two views that only
- differ in the case ('text/html' vs. 'text/HTML') will now raise an error.
- https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/620
-
-- Forward-port from 1.3 branch: when registering multiple views with an
- ``accept`` predicate in a Pyramid application runing under Python 3, you
- might have received a ``TypeError: unorderable types: function() <
- function()`` exception.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Configurator.add_directive now accepts arbitrary callables like partials or
- objects implementing ``__call__`` which dont have ``__name__`` and
- ``__doc__`` attributes. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/621
- and https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/647.
-
-- Third-party custom view, route, and subscriber predicates can now be added
- for use by view authors via
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view_predicate``,
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route_predicate`` and
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_subscriber_predicate``. So, for example,
- doing this::
-
- config.add_view_predicate('abc', my.package.ABCPredicate)
-
- Might allow a view author to do this in an application that configured that
- predicate::
-
- @view_config(abc=1)
-
- Similar features exist for ``add_route``, and ``add_subscriber``. See
- "Adding A Third Party View, Route, or Subscriber Predicate" in the Hooks
- chapter for more information.
-
- Note that changes made to support the above feature now means that only
- actions registered using the same "order" can conflict with one another.
- It used to be the case that actions registered at different orders could
- potentially conflict, but to my knowledge nothing ever depended on this
- behavior (it was a bit silly).
-
-- Custom objects can be made easily JSON-serializable in Pyramid by defining
- a ``__json__`` method on the object's class. This method should return
- values natively serializable by ``json.dumps`` (such as ints, lists,
- dictionaries, strings, and so forth).
-
-- The JSON renderer now allows for the definition of custom type adapters to
- convert unknown objects to JSON serializations.
-
-- As of this release, the ``request_method`` predicate, when used, will also
- imply that ``HEAD`` is implied when you use ``GET``. For example, using
- ``@view_config(request_method='GET')`` is equivalent to using
- ``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'HEAD'))``. Using
- ``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'POST')`` is equivalent to using
- ``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'HEAD', 'POST')``. This is because
- HEAD is a variant of GET that omits the body, and WebOb has special support
- to return an empty body when a HEAD is used.
-
-- ``config.add_request_method`` has been introduced to support extending
- request objects with arbitrary callables. This method expands on the
- previous ``config.set_request_property`` by supporting methods as well as
- properties. This method now causes less code to be executed at
- request construction time than ``config.set_request_property`` in
- version 1.3.
-
-- Don't add a ``?`` to URLs generated by ``request.resource_url`` if the
- ``query`` argument is provided but empty.
-
-- Don't add a ``?`` to URLs generated by ``request.route_url`` if the
- ``_query`` argument is provided but empty.
-
-- The static view machinery now raises (rather than returns) ``HTTPNotFound``
- and ``HTTPMovedPermanently`` exceptions, so these can be caught by the
- Not Found View (and other exception views).
-
-- The Mako renderer now supports a def name in an asset spec. When the def
- name is present in the asset spec, the system will render the template def
- within the template and will return the result. An example asset spec is
- ``package:path/to/template#defname.mako``. This will render the def named
- ``defname`` inside the ``template.mako`` template instead of rendering the
- entire template. The old way of returning a tuple in the form
- ``('defname', {})`` from the view is supported for backward compatibility,
-
-- The Chameleon ZPT renderer now accepts a macro name in an asset spec. When
- the macro name is present in the asset spec, the system will render the
- macro listed as a ``define-macro`` and return the result instead of
- rendering the entire template. An example asset spec:
- ``package:path/to/template#macroname.pt``. This will render the macro
- defined as ``macroname`` within the ``template.pt`` template instead of the
- entire templae.
-
-- When there is a predicate mismatch exception (seen when no view matches for
- a given request due to predicates not working), the exception now contains
- a textual description of the predicate which didn't match.
-
-- An ``add_permission`` directive method was added to the Configurator. This
- directive registers a free-standing permission introspectable into the
- Pyramid introspection system. Frameworks built atop Pyramid can thus use
- the ``permissions`` introspectable category data to build a
- comprehensive list of permissions supported by a running system. Before
- this method was added, permissions were already registered in this
- introspectable category as a side effect of naming them in an ``add_view``
- call, this method just makes it possible to arrange for a permission to be
- put into the ``permissions`` introspectable category without naming it
- along with an associated view. Here's an example of usage of
- ``add_permission``::
-
- config = Configurator()
- config.add_permission('view')
-
-- The ``UnencryptedCookieSessionFactoryConfig`` now accepts
- ``signed_serialize`` and ``signed_deserialize`` hooks which may be used
- to influence how the sessions are marshalled (by default this is done
- with HMAC+pickle).
-
-- ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now supports methods supplied by the
- ``pyramid.util.InstancePropertyMixin`` class such as ``set_property``.
-
-- Request properties and methods added via ``config.set_request_property`` or
- ``config.add_request_method`` are now available to tweens.
-
-- Request properties and methods added via ``config.set_request_property`` or
- ``config.add_request_method`` are now available in the request object
- returned from ``pyramid.paster.bootstrap``.
-
-- ``request.context`` of environment request during ``bootstrap`` is now the
- root object if a context isn't already set on a provided request.
-
-- The ``pyramid.decorator.reify`` function is now an API, and was added to
- the API documentation.
-
-- Added the ``pyramid.testing.testConfig`` context manager, which can be used
- to generate a configurator in a test, e.g. ``with testing.testConfig(...):``.
-
-- Users can now invoke a subrequest from within view code using a new
- ``request.invoke_subrequest`` API.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_property`` has been
- documentation-deprecated. The method remains usable but the more
- featureful ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_request_method`` should be
- used in its place (it has all of the same capabilities but can also extend
- the request object with methods).
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The Pyramid router no longer adds the values ``bfg.routes.route`` or
- ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` to the request's WSGI environment dictionary.
- These values were docs-deprecated in ``repoze.bfg`` 1.0 (effectively seven
- minor releases ago). If your code depended on these values, use
- request.matched_route and request.matchdict instead.
-
-- It is no longer possible to pass an environ dictionary directly to
- ``pyramid.traversal.ResourceTreeTraverser.__call__`` (aka
- ``ModelGraphTraverser.__call__``). Instead, you must pass a request
- object. Passing an environment instead of a request has generated a
- deprecation warning since Pyramid 1.1.
-
-- Pyramid will no longer work properly if you use the
- ``webob.request.LegacyRequest`` as a request factory. Instances of the
- LegacyRequest class have a ``request.path_info`` which return a string.
- This Pyramid release assumes that ``request.path_info`` will
- unconditionally be Unicode.
-
-- The functions from ``pyramid.chameleon_zpt`` and ``pyramid.chameleon_text``
- named ``get_renderer``, ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and
- ``render_template_to_response`` have been removed. These have issued a
- deprecation warning upon import since Pyramid 1.0. Use
- ``pyramid.renderers.get_renderer()``,
- ``pyramid.renderers.get_renderer().implementation()``,
- ``pyramid.renderers.render()`` or ``pyramid.renderers.render_to_response``
- respectively instead of these functions.
-
-- The ``pyramid.configuration`` module was removed. It had been deprecated
- since Pyramid 1.0 and printed a deprecation warning upon its use. Use
- ``pyramid.config`` instead.
-
-- The ``pyramid.paster.PyramidTemplate`` API was removed. It had been
- deprecated since Pyramid 1.1 and issued a warning on import. If your code
- depended on this, adjust your code to import
- ``pyramid.scaffolds.PyramidTemplate`` instead.
-
-- The ``pyramid.settings.get_settings()`` API was removed. It had been
- printing a deprecation warning since Pyramid 1.0. If your code depended on
- this API, use ``pyramid.threadlocal.get_current_registry().settings``
- instead or use the ``settings`` attribute of the registry available from
- the request (``request.registry.settings``).
-
-- These APIs from the ``pyramid.testing`` module were removed. They have
- been printing deprecation warnings since Pyramid 1.0:
-
- * ``registerDummySecurityPolicy``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_securitypolicy`` instead.
-
- * ``registerResources`` (aka ``registerModels``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_resources`` instead.
-
- * ``registerEventListener``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_add_subscriber`` instead.
-
- * ``registerTemplateRenderer`` (aka `registerDummyRenderer``), use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_add_template`` instead.
-
- * ``registerView``, use ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view`` instead.
-
- * ``registerUtility``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.registry.registerUtility`` instead.
-
- * ``registerAdapter``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.registry.registerAdapter`` instead.
-
- * ``registerSubscriber``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_subscriber`` instead.
-
- * ``registerRoute``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route`` instead.
-
- * ``registerSettings``, use
- ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_settings`` instead.

-- In Pyramid 1.3 and previous, the ``__call__`` method of a Response object
- was invoked before any finished callbacks were executed. As of this
- release, the ``__call__`` method of a Response object is invoked *after*
- finished callbacks are executed. This is in support of the
- ``request.invoke_subrequest`` feature.
-
-- The 200-series exception responses named ``HTTPCreated``, ``HTTPAccepted``,
- ``HTTPNonAuthoritativeInformation``, ``HTTPNoContent``, ``HTTPResetContent``,
- and ``HTTPPartialContent`` in ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` no longer inherit
- from ``HTTPOk``. Instead they inherit from a new base class named
- ``HTTPSuccessful``. This will have no effect on you unless you've registered
- an exception view for ``HTTPOk`` and expect that exception view to
- catch all the aforementioned exceptions.

-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added an "Upgrading Pyramid" chapter to the narrative documentation. It
- describes how to cope with deprecations and removals of Pyramid APIs and
- how to show Pyramid-generated deprecation warnings while running tests and
- while running a server.
-
-- Added a "Invoking a Subrequest" chapter to the documentation. It describes
- how to use the new ``request.invoke_subrequest`` API.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- Pyramid now requires WebOb 1.2b3+ (the prior Pyramid release only relied on
- 1.2dev+). This is to ensure that we obtain a version of WebOb that returns
- ``request.path_info`` as text.
