- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML and

  via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class
  decorator).  The calling semantics when using a class as a view
  callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser
  view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters
  (conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``).  The resulting
  instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method).
  When called, the instance should return a response.  For example::

    from webob import Response

    class MyView(object):
        def __init__(self, context, request):
            self.context = context
            self.request = request

        def __call__(self):
            return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)

   See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the
   ``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.

 - Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wrote
   ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in
   projects).  The code which managed writing and reading of the cache
