+- View lookup will now search for valid views based on the inheritance
+  hierarchy of the context. It tries to find views based on the most
+  specific context first, and upon predicate failure, will move up the
+  inheritance chain to test views found by the super-type of the context.
+  In the past, only the most specific type containing views would be checked
+  and if no matching view could be found then a PredicateMismatch would be
+  raised. Now predicate mismatches don't hide valid views registered on
+  super-types. Here's an example that now works::
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+     class IResource(Interface):
+         ...
+
+     @view_config(context=IResource)
+     def get(context, request):
+         ...
+
+     @view_config(context=IResource, request_method='POST')
+     def post(context, request):
+         ...
+
+     @view_config(context=IResource, request_method='DELETE')
+     def delete(context, request):
+         ...
+
+     @implementor(IResource)
+     class MyResource:
+         ...
+
+     @view_config(context=MyResource, request_method='POST')
+     def override_post(context, request):
+         ...
+
+  Previously the override_post view registration would hide the get
+  and delete views in the context of MyResource -- leading to a
+  predicate mismatch error when trying to use GET or DELETE
+  methods. Now the views are found and no predicate mismatch is
+  raised.
