- 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 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')

- 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.
