-1.3b1 (2010-10-25)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``paster`` template named ``bfg_routesalchemy`` has been updated
- to use SQLAlchemy declarative syntax. Thanks to Ergo^.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- When a renderer factory could not be found, a misleading error
- message was raised if the renderer name was not a string.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The ""bfgwiki2" (SQLAlchemy + url dispatch) tutorial has been
- updated slightly. In particular, the source packages no longer
- attempt to use a private index, and the recommended Python version
- is now 2.6. It was also updated to take into account the changes to
- the ``bfg_routesalchemy`` template used to set up an environment.
-
-- The "bfgwiki" (ZODB + traversal) tutorial has been updated slightly.
- In particular, the source packages no longer attempt to use a
- private index, and the recommended Python version is now 2.6.
-
-1.3a15 (2010-09-30)
-===================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path`` API now eagerly attempts
- to encode a Unicode ``path`` into ASCII before attempting to split
- it and decode its segments. This is for convenience, effectively to
- allow a (stored-as-Unicode-in-a-database, or
- retrieved-as-Unicode-from-a-request-parameter) Unicode path to be
- passed to ``find_model``, which eventually internally uses the
- ``traversal_path`` function under the hood. In version 1.2 and
- prior, if the ``path`` was Unicode, that Unicode was split on
- slashes and each resulting segment value was Unicode. An
- inappropriate call to the ``decode()`` method of a resulting Unicode
- path segment could cause a ``UnicodeDecodeError`` to occur even if
- the Unicode representation of the path contained no 'high order'
- characters (it effectively did a "double decode"). By converting
- the Unicode path argument to ASCII before we attempt to decode and
- split, genuine errors will occur in a more obvious place while also
- allowing us to handle (for convenience) the case that it's a Unicode
- representation formed entirely from ASCII-compatible characters.
-
-1.3a14 (2010-09-14)
-===================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- If an exception view was registered through the legacy
- ``set_notfound_view`` or ``set_forbidden_view`` APIs, the context
- sent to the view was incorrect (could be ``None`` inappropriately).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Compatibility with WebOb 1.0.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-- Now requires WebOb >= 1.0.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Due to changes introduced WebOb 1.0, the
- ``repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii`` event subscriber no longer
- works, so it has been removed. This subscriber was meant to be used
- in a deployment so that code written before BFG 0.7.0 could run
- unchanged. At this point, such code will need to be rewritten to
- expect Unicode from ``request.GET``, ``request.POST`` and
- ``request.params`` or it will need to be changed to use
- ``request.str_POST``, ``request.str_GET`` and/or
- ``request.str_params`` instead of the non-``str`` versions of same,
- as the non-``str`` versions of the same APIs always now perform
- decoding to Unicode.
-
-Errata
-------
-
-- A prior changelog entry asserted that the ``INewResponse`` event was
- not sent to listeners if the response was not "valid" (if a view or
- renderer returned a response object that did not have a
- status/headers/app_iter). This is not true in this release, nor was
- it true in 1.3a13.
-
-1.3a13 (2010-09-14)
-===================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``traverse`` route predicate could not successfully generate a
- traversal path.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- In support of making it easier to configure applications which are
- "secure by default", a default permission feature was added. If
- supplied, the default permission is used as the permission string to
- all view registrations which don't otherwise name a permission.
- These APIs are in support of that:
-
- - A new constructor argument was added to the Configurator:
- ``default_permission``.
-
- - A new method was added to the Configurator:
- ``set_default_permission``.
-
- - A new ZCML directive was added: ``default_permission``.
-
-- Add a new request API: ``request.add_finished_callback``. Finished
- callbacks are called by the router unconditionally near the very end
- of request processing. See the "Using Finished Callbacks" section
- of the "Hooks" narrative chapter of the documentation for more
- information.
-
-- A ``request.matched_route`` attribute is now added to the request
- when a route has matched. Its value is the "route" object that
- matched (see the ``IRoute`` interface within
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation for the API of a route
- object).
-
-- The ``exception`` attribute of the request is now set slightly
- earlier and in a slightly different set of scenarios, for benefit of
- "finished callbacks" and "response callbacks". In previous
- versions, the ``exception`` attribute of the request was not set at
- all if an exception view was not found. In this version, the
- ``request.exception`` attribute is set immediately when an exception
- is caught by the router, even if an exception view could not be
- found.
-
-- The ``add_route`` method of a Configurator now accepts a
- ``pregenerator`` argument. The pregenerator for the resulting route
- is called by ``route_url`` in order to adjust the set of arguments
- passed to it by the user for special purposes, such as Pylons
- 'subdomain' support. It will influence the URL returned by
- ``route_url``. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoutePregenerator``
- interface for more information.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The router no longer sets the value ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` into
- the environ when a route matches. The value used to be something
- like ``((), matchdict)``. This functionality was only ever
- obliquely referred to in change logs; it was never documented as an
- API.
-
-- The ``exception`` attribute of the request now defaults to ``None``.
- In prior versions, the ``request.exception`` attribute did not exist
- if an exception was not raised by user code during request
- processing; it only began existence once an exception view was
- found.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` event
- interface was renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IApplicationCreated``. Likewise, the
- ``repoze.bfg.events.WSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` class was renamed
- to ``repoze.bfg.events.ApplicationCreated``. The older aliases will
- continue to work indefinitely.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal`` event interface was
- renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextFound``. Likewise, the
- ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraversal`` class was renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.events.ContextFound``. The older aliases will continue
- to work indefinitely.
-
-- References to the WSGI environment values ``bfg.routes.matchdict``
- and ``bfg.routes.route`` were removed from documentation. These
- will stick around internally for several more releases, but it is
- ``request.matchdict`` and ``request.matched_route`` are now the
- "official" way to obtain the matchdict and the route object which
- resulted in the match.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` ZCML directive.
-
-- Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` constructor value
- and the ``set_default_permission`` method in the Configurator API
- documentation.
-
-- Added a new section to the "security" chapter named "Setting a
- Default Permission".
-
-- Document ``renderer_globals_factory`` and ``request_factory``
- arguments to Configurator constructor.
-
-- Added two sections to the "Hooks" chapter of the documentation:
- "Using Response Callbacks" and "Using Finished Callbacks".
-
-- Added documentation of the ``request.exception`` attribute to the
- ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` API documentation.
-
-- Added glossary entries for "response callback" and "finished
- callback".
-
-- The "Request Processing" narrative chapter has been updated to note
- finished and response callback steps.
-
-- New interface in interfaces API documentation: ``IRoutePregenerator``.
-
-- Added a "The Matched Route" section to the URL Dispatch narrative
- docs chapter, detailing the ``matched_route`` attribute.
-
-1.3a12 (2010-09-08)
-===================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` URL generation: if two
- resource specifications were used to create two separate static
- views, but they shared a common prefix, it was possible that
- ``static_url`` would generate an incorrect URL.
-
-- Fix another bug in ``repoze.bfg.static_url`` URL generation: too
- many slashes in generated URL.
-
-- Prevent a race condition which could result in a ``RuntimeError``
- when rendering a Chameleon template that has not already been
- rendered once. This would usually occur directly after a restart,
- when more than one person or thread is trying to execute the same
- view at the same time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/karl3/+bug/621364
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``
- which was previously called ``path`` is now called ``pattern`` for
- better explicability. For backwards compatibility purposes, passing
- a keyword argument named ``path`` to ``add_route`` will still work
- indefinitely.
-
-- The ``path`` attribute to the ZCML ``route`` directive is now named
- ``pattern`` for better explicability. The older ``path`` attribute
- will continue to work indefinitely.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- All narrative, API, and tutorial docs which referred to a route
- pattern as a ``path`` have now been updated to refer to them as a
- ``pattern``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation page is now rendered
- via ``repoze.sphinx.autointerface``.
-
-- The URL Dispatch narrative chapter now refers to the ``interfaces``
- chapter to explain the API of an ``IRoute`` object.
-
-Paster Templates
-----------------
-
-- The routesalchemy template has been updated to use ``pattern`` in
- its route declarations rather than ``path``.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- ``tests_require`` now includes ``repoze.sphinx.autointerface`` as a
- dependency.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Add an API to the ``Configurator`` named ``get_routes_mapper``.
- This returns an object implementing the ``IRoutesMapper`` interface.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now has a
- ``get_route`` method which returns a single Route object or
- ``None``.
-
-- A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoute`` was added. The
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` object implements this interface.
-
-- The canonical attribute for accessing the routing pattern from a
- route object is now ``pattern`` rather than ``path``.
-
-- Use ``hash()`` rather than ``id()`` when computing the "phash" of a
- custom route/view predicate in order to allow the custom predicate
- some control over which predicates are "equal".
-
-- Use ``response.headerlist.append`` instead of
- ``response.headers.add`` in
- ``repoze.bfg.request.add_global_response_headers`` in case the
- response is not a WebOb response.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` constructor (not an API) now
- accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was
- ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now
- ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in
- support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper.connect`` method (not an
- API) now accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it
- was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now
- ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in
- support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``.
-
-1.3a11 (2010-09-05)
-===================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Process the response callbacks and the NewResponse event earlier, to
- enable mutations to the response to take effect.
-
-1.3a10 (2010-09-05)
-===================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` API has
- been added. This method is documented in the new
- ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. It can be used to influence
- response values before a concrete response object has been created.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewResponse`` interface now includes a
- ``request`` attribute; as a result, a handler for INewResponse now
- has access to the request which caused the response.
-
-- Each of the follow methods of the Configurator now allow the
- below-named arguments to be passed as "dotted name strings"
- (e.g. "foo.bar.baz") rather than as actual implementation objects
- that must be imported:
-
- setup_registry
- root_factory, authentication_policy, authorization_policy,
- debug_logger, locale_negotiator, request_factory,
- renderer_globals_factory
-

-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The route pattern registered internally for a a local "static view"
- (either via the ``static`` ZCML directive or via the
- ``add_static_view`` method of the configurator) was incorrect. It
- was regsistered for e.g. ``static*traverse``, while it should have
- been registered for ``static/*traverse``. Symptom: two static views
- could not reliably be added to a system when they both shared the
- same path prefix (e.g. ``/static`` and ``/static2``).
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The INewResponse event is now not sent to listeners if the response
- returned by view code (or a renderer) is not a "real" response
- (e.g. if it does not have ``.status``, ``.headerlist`` and
- ``.app_iter`` attribtues).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add an API chapter for the ``repoze.bfg.request`` module, which
- includes documentation for the ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class
- (the "request object").
-
-- Modify the "Request and Response" narrative chapter to reference the
- new ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. Some content was moved from
- this chapter into the API documentation itself.
-
-- Various changes to denote that Python dotted names are now allowed
- as input to Configurator methods.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- The (internal) feature which made it possible to attach a
- ``global_response_headers`` attribute to the request (which was
- assumed to contain a sequence of header key/value pairs which would
- later be added to the response by the router), has been removed.
- The functionality of
- ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` takes its
- place.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.events.NewResponse`` class's construct has changed:
- it now must be created with ``(request, response)`` rather than
- simply ``(response)``.
-
-1.3a9 (2010-08-22)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The Configurator now accepts a dotted name *string* to a package as
- a ``package`` constructor argument. The ``package`` argument was
- previously required to be a package *object* (not a dotted name
- string).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.with_package`` method
- was added. This method returns a new Configurator using the same
- application registry as the configurator object it is called
- upon. The new configurator is created afresh with its ``package``
- constructor argument set to the value passed to ``with_package``.
- This feature will make it easier for future BFG versions to allow
- dotted names as arguments in places where currently only object
- references are allowed (the work to allow dotted names isntead of
- object references everywhere has not yet been done, however).
-
-- The new ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.maybe_dotted``
- method resolves a Python dotted name string supplied as its
- ``dotted`` argument to a global Python object. If the value cannot
- be resolved, a ``repoze.bfg.configuration.ConfigurationError`` is
- raised. If the value supplied as ``dotted`` is not a string, the
- value is returned unconditionally without any resolution attempted.
-
-- The new
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.absolute_resource_spec``
- method resolves a potentially relative "resource specification"
- string into an absolute version. If the value supplied as
- ``relative_spec`` is not a string, the value is returned
- unconditionally without any resolution attempted.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The functions in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` named ``render`` and
- ``render_to_response`` introduced in 1.3a6 previously took a set of
- ``**values`` arguments for the values to be passed to the renderer.
- This was wrong, as renderers don't need to accept only dictionaries
- (they can accept any type of object). Now, the value sent to the
- renderer must be supplied as a positional argument named ``value``.
- The ``request`` argument is still a keyword argument, however.
-
-- The functions in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` named ``render`` and
- ``render_to_response`` now accept an additonal keyword argument
- named ``package``.
-
-- The ``get_renderer`` API in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` now accepts a
- ``package`` argument.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The ZCML ``include`` directive docs were incorrect: they specified
- ``filename`` rather than (the correct) ``file`` as an allowable
- attribute.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.resource.resolve_resource_spec`` function can now
- accept a package object as its ``pname`` argument instead of just a
- package name.
-
-- The ``_renderer_factory_from_name`` and ``_renderer_from_name``
- methods of the Configurator were removed. These were never APIs.
-
-- The ``_render``, ``_render_to_response`` and ``_make_response``
- functions with ``repoze.bfg.render`` (added in 1.3a6) have been
- removed.
-
-- A new helper class ``repoze.bfg.renderers.RendererHelper`` was
- added.
-
-- The _map_view function of ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` now takes
- only a renderer_name argument instead of both a ``renderer`` and
- ``renderer``_name argument. It also takes a ``package`` argument
- now.
-
-- Use ``imp.get_suffixes`` indirection in
- ``repoze.bfg.path.package_name`` instead of hardcoded ``.py``
- ``.pyc`` and ``.pyo`` to use for comparison when attemtping to
- decide if a directory is a package.
-
-- Make tests runnable again under Jython (although they do not all
- pass currently).
-
-- The reify decorator now maintains the docstring of the function it
- wraps.
-
-1.3a8 (2010-08-08)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- New public interface: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.IExceptionResponse``.
- This interface is provided by all internal exception classes (such
- as ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``), instances of which are both
- exception objects and can behave as WSGI response objects. This
- interface is made public so that exception classes which are also
- valid WSGI response factories can be configured to implement them or
- exception instances which are also or response instances can be
- configured to provide them.
-
-- New API class: ``repoze.bfg.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory``.
-
- There can only be one Not Found view in any ``repoze.bfg``
- application. Even if you use
- ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` as the Not Found
- view, ``repoze.bfg`` still must generate a ``404 Not Found``
- response when it cannot redirect to a slash-appended URL; this not
- found response will be visible to site users.
-
- If you don't care what this 404 response looks like, and you only
- need redirections to slash-appended route URLs, you may use the
- ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` object as the Not
- Found view. However, if you wish to use a *custom* notfound view
- callable when a URL cannot be redirected to a slash-appended URL,
- you may wish to use an instance of the
- ``repoze.bfg.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory`` class as the Not
- Found view, supplying the notfound view callable as the first
- argument to its constructor. For instance::
-
- from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound
- from repoze.bfg.view import AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory
-
- def notfound_view(context, request):
- return HTTPNotFound('It aint there, stop trying!')
-
- custom_append_slash = AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory(notfound_view)
- config.add_view(custom_append_slash, context=NotFound)
-
- The ``notfound_view`` supplied must adhere to the two-argument view
- callable calling convention of ``(context, request)`` (``context``
- will be the exception object).
-
-Documentation
---------------
-
-- Expanded the "Cleaning Up After a Request" section of the URL
- Dispatch narrative chapter.
-
-- Expanded the "Redirecting to Slash-Appended Routes" section of the
- URL Dispatch narrative chapter.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Previously, two default view functions were registered at
- Configurator setup (one for ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` named
- ``default_notfound_view`` and one for
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` named
- ``default_forbidden_view``) to render internal exception responses.
- Those default view functions have been removed, replaced with a
- generic default view function which is registered at Configurator
- setup for the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface
- that simply returns the exception instance; the ``NotFound`` and
- ``Forbidden`` classes are now still exception factories but they are
- also response factories which generate instances that implement the
- new ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface.
-
-1.3a7 (2010-08-01)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` API now
- returns the route object that was added.
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` decorator was added. This
- decorator decorates module-scope functions, which are then treated
- as event listeners after a scan() is performed. See the Events
- narrative documentation chapter and the ``repoze.bfg.events`` module
- documentation for more information.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- When adding a view for a route which did not yet exist ("did not yet
- exist" meaning, temporally, a view was added with a route name for a
- route which had not yet been added via add_route), the value of the
- ``custom_predicate`` argument to ``add_view`` was lost. Symptom:
- wrong view matches when using URL dispatch and custom view
- predicates together.
-
-- Pattern matches for a ``:segment`` marker in a URL dispatch route
- pattern now always match at least one character. See "Backwards
- Incompatibilities" below in this changelog.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- A bug existed in the regular expression to do URL matching. As an
- example, the URL matching machinery would cause the pattern
- ``/{foo}`` to match the root URL ``/`` resulting in a match
- dictionary of ``{'foo':u''}`` or the pattern ``/{fud}/edit might
- match the URL ``//edit`` resulting in a match dictionary of
- ``{'fud':u''}``. It was always the intent that ``:segment`` markers
- in the pattern would need to match *at least one* character, and
- never match the empty string. This, however, means that in certain
- circumstances, a routing match which your application inadvertently
- depended upon may no longer happen.
-
-Documentation
---------------
-
-- Added description of the ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` decorator
- to the Events narrative chapter.
-
-- Added ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` API documentation to
- ``repoze.bfg.events`` API docs.
-
-- Added a section named "Zope 3 Enforces 'TTW' Authorization Checks By
- Default; BFG Does Not" to the "Design Defense" chapter.
-
-1.3a6 (2010-07-25)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- New argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``
- and the ``route`` ZCML directive: ``traverse``. If you would like
- to cause the ``context`` to be something other than the ``root``
- object when this route matches, you can spell a traversal pattern as
- the ``traverse`` argument. This traversal pattern will be used as
- the traversal path: traversal will begin at the root object implied
- by this route (either the global root, or the object returned by the
- ``factory`` associated with this route).
-
- The syntax of the ``traverse`` argument is the same as it is for
- ``path``. For example, if the ``path`` provided is
- ``articles/:article/edit``, and the ``traverse`` argument provided
- is ``/:article``, when a request comes in that causes the route to
- match in such a way that the ``article`` match value is '1' (when
- the request URI is ``/articles/1/edit``), the traversal path will be
- generated as ``/1``. This means that the root object's
- ``__getitem__`` will be called with the name ``1`` during the
- traversal phase. If the ``1`` object exists, it will become the
- ``context`` of the request. The Traversal narrative has more
- information about traversal.
-
- If the traversal path contains segment marker names which are not
- present in the path argument, a runtime error will occur. The
- ``traverse`` pattern should not contain segment markers that do not
- exist in the ``path``.
-
- A similar combining of routing and traversal is available when a
- route is matched which contains a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in
- its path. The ``traverse`` argument allows you to associate route
- patterns with an arbitrary traversal path without using a a
- ``*traverse`` remainder marker; instead you can use other match
- information.
-
- Note that the ``traverse`` argument is ignored when attached to a

-- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists:
- ``set_request_factory``. If used, this method will set the factory
- used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create all request objects.
-
-- The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument:
- ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory
- used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create all request objects.
-
-- The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument:

-- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists:
- ``set_renderer_globals_factory``. If used, this method will set the
- factory used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create renderer

-
-- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists: ``get_settings``. If
- used, this method will return the current settings object (performs
- the same job as the ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API).
-
-- The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument:
- ``renderer_globals_factory``. If used, this argument will set the
- factory used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create renderer

-
-- Add ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render``,
- ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_to_response`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.renderers.get_renderer`` functions. These are
- imperative APIs which will use the same rendering machinery used by
- view configurations with a ``renderer=`` attribute/argument to
- produce a rendering or renderer. Because these APIs provide a
- central API for all rendering, they now form the preferred way to
- perform imperative template rendering. Using functions named
- ``render_*`` from modules such as ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text`` is now discouraged (although not
- deprecated). The code the backing older templating-system-specific
- APIs now calls into the newer ``repoze.bfg.renderer`` code.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.testing_add_template``
- has been renamed to ``testing_add_renderer``. A backwards
- compatibility alias is present using the old name.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The ``Hybrid`` narrative chapter now contains a description of the
- ``traverse`` route argument.
-
-- The ``Hooks`` narrative chapter now contains sections about
- changing the request factory and adding a renderer globals factory.
-
-- The API documentation includes a new module:
- ``repoze.bfg.renderers``.
-
-- The ``Templates`` chapter was updated; all narrative that used
- templating-specific APIs within examples to perform rendering (such
- as the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.render_template_to_response``
- method) was changed to use ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_*``
- functions.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``header`` predicate (when used as either a view predicate or a
- route predicate) had a problem when specified with a name/regex
- pair. When the header did not exist in the headers dictionary, the
- regex match could be fed ``None``, causing it to throw a
- ``TypeError: expected string or buffer`` exception. Now, the
- predicate returns False as intended.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.renderers.rendered_response`` function was never an
- official API, but may have been imported by extensions in the wild.
- It is officially deprecated in this release. Use
- ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_to_response`` instead.
-
-- The following APIs are *documentation* deprecated (meaning they are
- officially deprecated in documentation but do not raise a
- deprecation error upon their usage, and may continue to work for an
- indefinite period of time):
-
- In the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module: ``get_renderer``,
- ``get_template``, ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response``. The suggested alternatives are
- documented within the docstrings of those methods (which are still
- present in the documentation).
-
- In the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text`` module: ``get_renderer``,
- ``get_template``, ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response``. The suggested alternatives are
- documented within the docstrings of those methods (which are still
- present in the documentation).
-
- In general, to perform template-related functions, one should now
- use the various methods in the ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` module.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- A new internal exception class (*not* an API) named
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` now exists. This
- exception is currently raised when no constituent view of a
- multiview can be called (due to no predicate match). Previously, in
- this situation, a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` was raised. We
- provide backwards compatibility for code that expected a
- ``NotFound`` to be raised when no predicates match by causing
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` to inherit from
- ``NotFound``. This will cause any exception view registered for
- ``NotFound`` to be called when a predicate mismatch occurs, as was
- the previous behavior.
-
- There is however, one perverse case that will expose a backwards
- incompatibility. If 1) you had a view that was registered as a
- member of a multiview 2) this view explicitly raised a ``NotFound``
- exception *in order to* proceed to the next predicate check in the
- multiview, that code will now behave differently: rather than
- skipping to the next view match, a NotFound will be raised to the
- top-level exception handling machinery instead. For code to be
- depending upon the behavior of a view raising ``NotFound`` to
- proceed to the next predicate match, would be tragic, but not
- impossible, given that ``NotFound`` is a public interface.
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` is not a public API and
- cannot be depended upon by application code, so you should not
- change your view code to raise ``PredicateMismatch``. Instead, move
- the logic which raised the ``NotFound`` exception in the view out
- into a custom view predicate.
-
-- If, when you run your application's unit test suite under BFG 1.3, a
- ``KeyError`` naming a template or a ``ValueError`` indicating that a
- 'renderer factory' is not registered may is raised
- (e.g. ``ValueError: No factory for renderer named '.pt' when looking
- up karl.views:templates/snippets.pt``), you may need to perform some
- extra setup in your test code.
-
- The best solution is to use the
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.testing_add_renderer`` (or,
- alternately the deprecated
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer`` or
- ``registerDummyRenderer``) API within the code comprising each
- individual unit test suite to register a "dummy" renderer for each
- of the templates and renderers used by code under test. For
- example::
-
- config = Configurator()
- config.testing_add_renderer('karl.views:templates/snippets.pt')
-
- This will register a basic dummy renderer for this particular
- missing template. The ``testing_add_renderer`` API actually
- *returns* the renderer, but if you don't care about how the render
- is used, you don't care about having a reference to it either.
-
- A more rough way to solve the issue exists. It causes the "real"
- template implementations to be used while the system is under test,
- which is suboptimal, because tests will run slower, and unit tests
- won't actually *be* unit tests, but it is easier. Always ensure you
- call the ``setup_registry()`` method of the Configurator . Eg::
-
- reg = MyRegistry()
- config = Configurator(registry=reg)
- config.setup_registry()
-
- Calling ``setup_registry`` only has an effect if you're *passing in*
- a ``registry`` argument to the Configurator constructor.
- ``setup_registry`` is called by the course of normal operations
- anyway if you do not pass in a ``registry``.
-
- If your test suite isn't using a Configurator yet, and is still
- using the older ``repoze.bfg.testing`` APIs name ``setUp`` or
- ``cleanUp``, these will register the renderers on your behalf.
-
- A variant on the symptom for this theme exists: you may already be
- dutifully registering a dummy template or renderer for a template
- used by the code you're testing using ``testing_register_renderer``
- or ``registerTemplateRenderer``, but (perhaps unbeknownst to you)
- the code under test expects to be able to use a "real" template
- renderer implementation to retrieve or render *another* template
- that you forgot was being rendered as a side effect of calling the
- code you're testing. This happened to work because it found the
- *real* template while the system was under test previously, and now
- it cannot. The solution is the same.
-
- It may also help reduce confusion to use a *resource specification*
- to specify the template path in the test suite and code rather than
- a relative path in either. A resource specification is unambiguous,
- while a relative path needs to be relative to "here", where "here"
- isn't always well-defined ("here" in a test suite may or may not be
- the same as "here" in the code under test).

-1.3a5 (2010-07-14)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- New internal exception: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``.
- This URL is a subclass of the built-in Python exception named
- ``UnicodeDecodeError``.
-
-- When decoding a URL segment to Unicode fails, the exception raised
- is now ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` instead of
- ``UnicodeDecodeError``. This makes it possible to register an
- exception view invoked specifically when ``repoze.bfg`` cannot
- decode a URL.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix regression in
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. Before
- 1.3a4, view names that contained a slash were supported as route
- prefixes. 1.3a4 broke this by trying to treat them as full URLs.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` exception was added to
- the exceptions chapter of the API documentation.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
-----------------------------
-
-- in previous releases, when a URL could not be decoded from UTF-8
- during traversal, a ``TypeError`` was raised. Now the error which
- is raised is a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``.
-
-1.3a4 (2010-07-03)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Undocumented hook: make ``get_app`` and ``get_root`` of the
- ``repoze.bfg.paster.BFGShellCommand`` hookable in cases where
- endware may interfere with the default versions.
-
-- In earlier versions, a custom route predicate associated with a url
- dispatch route (each of the predicate functions fed to the
- ``custom_predicates`` argument of
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``) has always
- required a 2-positional argument signature, e.g. ``(context,
- request)``. Before this release, the ``context`` argument was
- always ``None``.
-
- As of this release, the first argument passed to a predicate is now
- a dictionary conventionally named ``info`` consisting of ``route``,
- and ``match``. ``match`` is a dictionary: it represents the
- arguments matched in the URL by the route. ``route`` is an object
- representing the route which was matched.
-
- This is useful when predicates need access to the route match. For
- example::
-
- def any_of(segment_name, *args):
- def predicate(info, request):
- if info['match'][segment_name] in args:
- return True
- return predicate
-
- num_one_two_or_three = any_of('num, 'one', 'two', 'three')
-
- add_route('num', '/:num', custom_predicates=(num_one_two_or_three,))
-
- The ``route`` object is an object that has two useful attributes:
- ``name`` and ``path``. The ``name`` attribute is the route name.
- The ``path`` attribute is the route pattern. An example of using
- the route in a set of route predicates::
-
- def twenty_ten(info, request):
- if info['route'].name in ('ymd', 'ym', 'y'):
- return info['match']['year'] == '2010'
-
- add_route('y', '/:year', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,))
- add_route('ym', '/:year/:month', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,))
- add_route('ymd', '/:year/:month:/day', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,))
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API has changed. If a keyword
- ``_app_url`` is present in the arguments passed to ``route_url``,
- this value will be used as the protocol/hostname/port/leading path
- prefix of the generated URL. For example, using an ``_app_url`` of
- ``http://example.com:8080/foo`` would cause the URL
- ``http://example.com:8080/foo/fleeb/flub`` to be returned from this
- function if the expansion of the route pattern associated with the
- ``route_name`` expanded to ``/fleeb/flub``.
-
-- It is now possible to use a URL as the ``name`` argument fed to
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. When the
- name argument is a URL, the ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API will
- generate join this URL (as a prefix) to a path including the static
- file name. This makes it more possible to put static media on a
- separate webserver for production, while keeping static media
- package-internal and served by the development webserver during
- development.

-
-- The default locale negotiator has become more complex.
-
- * First, the negotiator looks for the ``_LOCALE_`` attribute of
- the request object (possibly set by a view or an event listener).

-
-1.3a1 (2010-04-26)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added "exception views". When you use an exception (anything that
- inherits from the Python ``Exception`` builtin) as view context
- argument, e.g.::
-
- from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view
- from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound
- from webob.exc import HTTPNotFound
-
- @bfg_view(context=NotFound)
- def notfound_view(request):
- return HTTPNotFound()
-
- For the above example, when the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``
- exception is raised by any view or any root factory, the
- ``notfound_view`` view callable will be invoked and its response
- returned.
-
- Other normal view predicates can also be used in combination with an
- exception view registration::
-
- from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view
- from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound
- from webob.exc import HTTPNotFound
-
- @bfg_view(context=NotFound, route_name='home')
- def notfound_view(request):
- return HTTPNotFound()
-
- The above exception view names the ``route_name`` of ``home``,
- meaning that it will only be called when the route matched has a
- name of ``home``. You can therefore have more than one exception
- view for any given exception in the system: the "most specific" one
- will be called when the set of request circumstances which match the
- view registration. The only predicate that cannot be not be used
- successfully is ``name``. The name used to look up an exception
- view is always the empty string.
-
- Existing (pre-1.3) normal views registered against objects
- inheriting from ``Exception`` will continue to work. Exception
- views used for user-defined exceptions and system exceptions used as
- contexts will also work.
-
- The feature can be used with any view registration mechanism
- (``@bfg_view`` decorator, ZCML, or imperative ``config.add_view``
- styles).
-
- This feature was kindly contributed by Andrey Popp.
-
-- Use "Venusian" (`http://docs.repoze.org/venusian
- <http://docs.repoze.org/venusian>`_) to perform ``bfg_view``
- decorator scanning rather than relying on a BFG-internal decorator
- scanner. (Truth be told, Venusian is really just a generalization
- of the BFG-internal decorator scanner).
-
-- Internationalization and localization features as documented in the
- narrative documentation chapter entitled ``Internationalization and
- Localization``.
-
-- A new deployment setting named ``default_locale_name`` was added.
- If this string is present as a Paster ``.ini`` file option, it will
- be considered the default locale name. The default locale name is
- used during locale-related operations such as language translation.
-
-- It is now possible to turn on Chameleon template "debugging mode"
- for all Chameleon BFG templates by setting a BFG-related Paster
- ``.ini`` file setting named ``debug_templates``. The exceptions
- raised by Chameleon templates when a rendering fails are sometimes
- less than helpful. ``debug_templates`` allows you to configure your
- application development environment so that exceptions generated by
- Chameleon during template compilation and execution will contain
- more helpful debugging information. This mode is on by default in
- all new projects.
-
-- Add a new method of the Configurator named ``derive_view`` which can
- be used to generate a BFG view callable from a user-supplied
- function, instance, or class. This useful for external framework and
- plugin authors wishing to wrap callables supplied by their users
- which follow the same calling conventions and response conventions
- as objects that can be supplied directly to BFG as a view callable.
- See the ``derive_view`` method in the
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` docs.
-
-ZCML
-----
-
-- Add a ``translationdir`` ZCML directive to support localization.
-
-- Add a ``localenegotiator`` ZCML directive to support localization.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The exception views feature replaces the need for the
- ``set_notfound_view`` and ``set_forbidden_view`` methods of the
- ``Configurator`` as well as the ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML
- directives. Those methods and directives will continue to work for
- the foreseeable future, but they are deprecated in the
- documentation.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- A new install-time dependency on the ``venusian`` distribution was
- added.
-
-- A new install-time dependency on the ``translationstring``

-- Chameleon 1.2.3 or better is now required (internationalization and
- per-template debug settings).
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- View registrations and lookups are now done with three "requires"
- arguments instead of two to accomodate orthogonality of exception
- views.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` interfaces were removed;
- they weren't APIs and they became vestigial with the addition of
- exception views.
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.compat.pkgutil_26.py`` and import alias
- ``repoze.bfg.compat.walk_packages``. These were only required by
- internal scanning machinery; Venusian replaced the internal scanning
- machinery, so these are no longer required.

-- A new API chapter for the ``repoze.bfg.i18n`` module was added.
-
-- Documentation for the new ``translationdir`` and

-1.2b1 (2010-01-18)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- In ``bfg_routesalchemy``, ``bfg_alchemy`` paster templates and the
- ``bfgwiki2`` tutorial, clean up the SQLAlchemy connection by
- registering a ``repoze.tm.after_end`` callback instead of relying on
- a ``__del__`` method of a ``Cleanup`` class added to the WSGI
- environment. The ``__del__`` strategy was fragile and caused
- problems in the wild. Thanks to Daniel Holth for testing.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Read logging configuration from PasteDeploy config file ``loggers``
- section (and related) when ``paster bfgshell`` is invoked.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Major rework in preparation for book publication.
-
-1.2a11 (2010-01-05)
-===================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Make ``paster bfgshell`` and ``paster create -t bfg_xxx`` work on
- Jython (fix minor incompatibility with treatment of ``__doc__`` at
- the class level).
-
-- Updated dependency on ``WebOb`` to require a version which supports
- features now used in tests.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Jython compatibility (at least when repoze.bfg.jinja2 is used as the
- templating engine; Chameleon does not work under Jython).
-
-- Show the derived abspath of template resource specifications in the
- traceback when a renderer template cannot be found.
-
-- Show the original traceback when a Chameleon template cannot be
- rendered due to a platform incompatibility.
-
-1.2a10 (2010-01-04)
-===================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``Configurator.add_view`` method now accepts an argument named
- ``context``. This is an alias for the older argument named
- ``for_``; it is preferred over ``for_``, but ``for_`` will continue
- to be supported "forever".
-
-- The ``view`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named
- ``context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named
- ``for``; it is preferred over ``for``, but ``for`` will continue to
- be supported "forever".
-
-- The ``Configurator.add_route`` method now accepts an argument named
- ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older argument named
- ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for``
- will continue to be supported "forever".
-
-- The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named
- ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named
- ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for``
- will continue to be supported "forever".
-

-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added manual index entries to generated index.
-
-- Document the previously existing (but non-API)
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.setup_registry`` method as
- an official API of a ``Configurator``.
-
-- Fix syntax errors in various documentation code blocks.
-
-- Created new top-level documentation section: "ZCML Directives".
- This section contains detailed ZCML directive information, some of
- which was removed from various narrative chapters.
-
-- The LaTeX rendering of the documentation has been improved.
-
-- Added a "Fore-Matter" section with author, copyright, and licensing
- information.
-
-1.2a8 (2009-12-24)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``**kw`` arg to the ``Configurator.add_settings`` API.
-
-- Add ``hook_zca`` and ``unhook_zca`` methods to the ``Configurator``
- API.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` method now returns a
- ``Configurator`` instance which can be used to do further
- configuration during unit tests.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``json`` renderer failed to set the response content type to
- ``application/json``. It now does, by setting
- ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already
- set.
-
-- The ``string`` renderer failed to set the response content type to
- ``text/plain``. It now does, by setting
- ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already
- set.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- General documentation improvements by using better Sphinx roles such
- as "class", "func", "meth", and so on. This means that there are
- many more hyperlinks pointing to API documentation for API
- definitions in all narrative, tutorial, and API documentation
- elements.
-
-- Added a description of imperative configuration in various places
- which only described ZCML configuration.
-
-- A syntactical refreshing of various tutorials.
-
-- Added the ``repoze.bfg.authentication``,
- ``repoze.bfg.authorization``, and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` modules
- to API documentation.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerRoutesMapper`` API (added in an
- early 1.2 alpha) was deprecated. Its import now generates a
- deprecation warning.
-
-1.2a7 (2009-12-20)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add four new testing-related APIs to the
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class:
- ``testing_securitypolicy``, ``testing_models``,
- ``testing_add_subscriber``, and ``testing_add_template``. These
- were added in order to provide more direct access to the
- functionality of the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` APIs named
- ``registerDummySecurityPolicy``, ``registerModels``,
- ``registerEventListener``, and ``registerTemplateRenderer`` when a
- configurator is used. The ``testing`` APIs named are nominally
- deprecated (although they will likely remain around "forever", as
- they are in heavy use in the wild).
-
-- Add a new API to the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``
- class: ``add_settings``. This API can be used to add "settings"
- (information returned within via the
- ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API) after the configurator has
- been initially set up. This is most useful for testing purposes.
-
-- Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator``
- ``add_view`` method, the ``bfg_view`` decorator and the attribute
- list of the ZCML ``view`` directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is
- specified, it must be a sequence of predicate callables (a predicate
- callable accepts two arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and
- returns ``True`` or ``False``). The associated view callable will
- only be invoked if all custom predicates return ``True``. Use one
- or more custom predicates when no existing predefined predicate is
- useful. Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely.
-
-- Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator``
- ``add_route`` and the attribute list of the ZCML ``route``
- directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is specified, it must be a
- sequence of predicate callables (a predicate callable accepts two
- arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and returns ``True`` or
- ``False``). The associated route will match will only be invoked if
- all custom predicates return ``True``, else route matching
- continues. Note that the value ``context`` will always be ``None``
- when passed to a custom route predicate. Use one or more custom
- predicates when no existing predefined predicate is useful.
- Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Remove the ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTraverser`` function. This
- function was never an API.
-
-Documenation
-------------
-
-- Doc-deprecated most helper functions in the ``repoze.bfg.testing``
- module. These helper functions likely won't be removed any time
- soon, nor will they generate a warning any time soon, due to their
- heavy use in the wild, but equivalent behavior exists in methods of
- a Configurator.
-
-1.2a6 (2009-12-18)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``Configurator`` object now has two new methods: ``begin`` and
- ``end``. The ``begin`` method is meant to be called before any
- "configuration" begins (e.g. before ``add_view``, et. al are
- called). The ``end`` method is meant to be called after all
- "configuration" is complete.
-
- Previously, before there was imperative configuration at all (1.1
- and prior), configuration begin and end was invariably implied by
- the process of loading a ZCML file. When a ZCML load happened, the
- threadlocal data structure containing the request and registry was
- modified before the load, and torn down after the load, making sure
- that all framework code that needed ``get_current_registry`` for the
- duration of the ZCML load was satisfied.
-
- Some API methods called during imperative configuration, (such as
- ``Configurator.add_view`` when a renderer is involved) end up for
- historical reasons calling ``get_current_registry``. However, in
- 1.2a5 and below, the Configurator supplied no functionality that
- allowed people to make sure that ``get_current_registry`` returned
- the registry implied by the configurator being used. ``begin`` now
- serves this purpose. Inversely, ``end`` pops the thread local
- stack, undoing the actions of ``begin``.
-
- We make this boundary explicit to reduce the potential for confusion
- when the configurator is used in different circumstances (e.g. in
- unit tests and app code vs. just in initial app setup).
-
- Existing code written for 1.2a1-1.2a5 which does not call ``begin``
- or ``end`` continues to work in the same manner it did before. It
- is however suggested that this code be changed to call ``begin`` and
- ``end`` to reduce the potential for confusion in the future.
-
-- All ``paster`` templates which generate an application skeleton now
- make use of the new ``begin`` and ``end`` methods of the
- Configurator they use in their respective copies of ``run.py`` and
- ``tests.py``.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- All documentation that makes use of a ``Configurator`` object to do
- application setup and test setup now makes use of the new ``begin``
- and ``end`` methods of the configurator.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- When a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` *class* (as opposed to instance)
- was raised as an exception within a root factory (or route root
- factory), the exception would not be caught properly by the
- ``repoze.bfg.`` Router and it would propagate to up the call stack,
- as opposed to rendering the not found view or the forbidden view as
- would have been expected.
-
-- When Chameleon page or text templates used as renderers were added
- imperatively (via ``Configurator.add_view`` or some derivative),
- they too-eagerly attempted to look up the ``reload_templates``
- setting via ``get_settings``, meaning they were always registered in
- non-auto-reload-mode (the default). Each now waits until its
- respective ``template`` attribute is accessed to look up the value.
-
-- When a route with the same name as a previously registered route was
- added, the old route was not removed from the mapper's routelist.
- Symptom: the old registered route would be used (and possibly
- matched) during route lookup when it should not have had a chance to
- ever be used.
-
-1.2a5 (2009-12-10)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- When the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` error is raised from within a
- custom root factory or the ``factory`` of a route, the appropriate
- response is now sent to the requesting user agent (the result of the
- notfound view or the forbidden view, respectively). When these
- errors are raised from within a root factory, the ``context`` passed
- to the notfound or forbidden view will be ``None``. Also, the
- request will not be decorated with ``view_name``, ``subpath``,
- ``context``, etc. as would normally be the case if traversal had
- been allowed to take place.
-
-Internals
----------
-
-- The exception class representing the error raised by various methods
- of a ``Configurator`` is now importable as
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.ConfigurationError``.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- General documentation freshening which takes imperative
- configuration into account in more places and uses glossary
- references more liberally.
-
-- Remove explanation of changing the request type in a new request
- event subscriber, as other predicates are now usually an easier way
- to get this done.
-
-- Added "Thread Locals" narrative chapter to documentation, and added
- a API chapter documenting the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocals`` module.
-
-- Added a "Special Exceptions" section to the "Views" narrative
- documentation chapter explaining the effect of raising
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` from within view code.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- A new dependency on the ``twill`` package was added to the
- ``setup.py`` ``tests_require`` argument (Twill will only be
- downloaded when ``repoze.bfg`` ``setup.py test`` or ``setup.py
- nosetests`` is invoked).
-
-1.2a4 (2009-12-07)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` now accepts a new constructor
- keyword argument: ``__provides__``. If this constructor argument is
- provided, it should be an interface or a tuple of interfaces. The
- resulting model will then provide these interfaces (they will be
- attached to the constructed model via
- ``zope.interface.alsoProvides``).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Operation on GAE was broken, presumably because the
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` module began to attempt to import the
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` and ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text``
- modules, and these cannot be used on non-CPython platforms. It now
- tolerates startup time import failures for these modules, and only
- raise an import error when a template from one of these packages is
- actually used.
-
-1.2a3 (2009-12-02)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` function inappropriately passed
- along ``_query`` and/or ``_anchor`` arguments to the
- ``mapper.generate`` function, resulting in blowups.
-
-- When two views were registered with differering ``for`` interfaces
- or classes, and the ``for`` of first view registered was a
- superclass of the second, the ``repoze.bfg`` view machinery would
- incorrectly associate the two views with the same "multiview".
- Multiviews are meant to be collections of views that have *exactly*
- the same for/request/viewname values, without taking inheritance
- into account. Symptom: wrong view callable found even when you had
- correctly specified a ``for_`` interface/class during view
- configuration for one or both view configurations.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module has been removed; it had been
- deprecated in 1.1 and never actually had any APIs in it.
-
-1.2a2 (2009-11-29)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The the long description of this package (as shown on PyPI) was not
- valid reStructuredText, and so was not renderable.
-
-- Trying to use an HTTP method name string such as ``GET`` as a
- ``request_type`` predicate argument caused a startup time failure
- when it was encountered in imperative configuration or in a
- decorator (symptom: ``Type Error: Required specification must be a
- specification``). This now works again, although ``request_method``
- is now the preferred predicate argument for associating a view
- configuration with an HTTP request method.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Fixed "Startup" narrative documentation chapter; it was explaining
- "the old way" an application constructor worked.
-
-1.2a1 (2009-11-28)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- An imperative configuration mode.
-
- A ``repoze.bfg`` application can now begin its life as a single
- Python file. Later, the application might evolve into a set of
- Python files in a package. Even later, it might start making use of
- other configuration features, such as ``ZCML``. But neither the use
- of a package nor the use of non-imperative configuration is required
- to create a simple ``repoze.bfg`` application any longer.
-
- Imperative configuration makes ``repoze.bfg`` competetive with
- "microframeworks" such as `Bottle <http://bottle.paws.de/>`_ and
- `Tornado <http://www.tornadoweb.org/>`_. ``repoze.bfg`` has a good
- deal of functionality that most microframeworks lack, so this is
- hopefully a "best of both worlds" feature.
-
- The simplest possible ``repoze.bfg`` application is now::
-
- from webob import Response
- from wsgiref import simple_server
- from repoze.bfg.configuration import Configurator
-
- def hello_world(request):
- return Response('Hello world!')
-
- if __name__ == '__main__':
- config = Configurator()
- config.add_view(hello_world)
- app = config.make_wsgi_app()
- simple_server.make_server('', 8080, app).serve_forever()
-
-- A new class now exists: ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``.
- This class forms the basis for sharing machinery between
- "imperatively" configured applications and traditional
- declaratively-configured applications.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` function now accepts three extra
- optional keyword arguments: ``registry``, ``request`` and
- ``hook_zca``.
-
- If the ``registry`` argument is not ``None``, the argument will be
- treated as the registry that is set as the "current registry" (it
- will be returned by ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry``)
- for the duration of the test. If the ``registry`` argument is
- ``None`` (the default), a new registry is created and used for the
- duration of the test.
-
- The value of the ``request`` argument is used as the "current
- request" (it will be returned by
- ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_request``) for the duration of
- the test; it defaults to ``None``.
-
- If ``hook_zca`` is ``True`` (the default), the
- ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function will be hooked with a
- function that returns the value of ``registry`` (or the
- default-created registry if ``registry`` is ``None``) instead of the
- registry returned by ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``,
- causing the Zope Component Architecture API (``getSiteManager``,
- ``getAdapter``, ``getUtility``, and so on) to use the testing
- registry instead of the global ZCA registry.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown`` function now accepts an
- ``unhook_zca`` argument. If this argument is ``True`` (the
- default), ``zope.component.getSiteManager.reset()`` will be called.
- This will cause the result of the ``zope.component.getSiteManager``
- function to be the global ZCA registry (the result of
- ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``) once again.
-
-- The ``run.py`` module in various ``repoze.bfg`` ``paster`` templates
- now use a ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class instead of
- the (now-legacy) ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` function to produce
- a WSGI application.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The documentation now uses the "request-only" view calling
- convention in most examples (as opposed to the ``context, request``
- convention). This is a documentation-only change; the ``context,
- request`` convention is also supported and documented, and will be
- "forever".
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` API documentation has been added.
-
-- A narrative documentation chapter entitled "Creating Your First
- ``repoze.bfg`` Application" has been added. This chapter details
- usage of the new ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class,
- and demonstrates a simplified "imperative-mode" configuration; doing
- ``repoze.bfg`` application configuration imperatively was previously
- much more difficult.
-
-- A narrative documentation chapter entitled "Configuration,
- Decorations and Code Scanning" explaining ZCML- vs. imperative-
- vs. decorator-based configuration equivalence.
-
-- The "ZCML Hooks" chapter has been renamed to "Hooks"; it documents
- how to override hooks now via imperative configuration and ZCML.
-
-- The explanation about how to supply an alternate "response factory"
- has been removed from the "Hooks" chapter. This feature may be
- removed in a later release (it still works now, it's just not
- documented).
-
-- Add a section entitled "Test Set Up and Tear Down" to the
- unittesting chapter.
-
-Bug Fixes
-----------
-
-- The ACL authorization policy debugging output when
- ``debug_authorization`` console debugging output was turned on
- wasn't as clear as it could have been when a view execution was
- denied due to an authorization failure resulting from the set of
- principals passed never having matched any ACE in any ACL in the
- lineage. Now in this case, we report ``<default deny>`` as the ACE
- value and either the root ACL or ``<No ACL found on any object in
- model lineage>`` if no ACL was found.
-
-- When two views were registered with the same ``accept`` argument,
- but were otherwise registered with the same arguments, if a request
- entered the application which had an ``Accept`` header that accepted
- *either* of the media types defined by the set of views registered
- with predicates that otherwise matched, a more or less "random" one
- view would "win". Now, we try harder to use the view callable
- associated with the view configuration that has the most specific
- ``accept`` argument. Thanks to Alberto Valverde for an initial
- patch.
-
-Internals
----------
-
-- The routes mapper is no longer a root factory wrapper. It is now
- consulted directly by the router.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.registry.make_registry`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.map_view`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.owrap_view`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.predicate_wrap`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.secure_view`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.authdebug_view`` callable has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.renderer_from_name`` callable has been
- removed. Use ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.renderer_from_name``
- instead (still not an API, however).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.derive_view`` callable has been removed. Use
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.derive_view`` instead (still
- not an API, however).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options`` callable has been removed.
- Its job has been subsumed by the ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings``
- class constructor.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.requestonly`` function has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.requestonly``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.rendered_response`` function has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.decorate_view`` function has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.decorate_view``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.MultiView`` class has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.MultiView``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.zcml.Uncacheable`` class has been removed.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.resource.resource_spec`` function has been removed.
-
-- All ZCML directives which deal with attributes which are paths now
- use the ``path`` method of the ZCML context to resolve a relative
- name to an absolute one (imperative configuration requirement).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root`` API now uses a 'real' WebOb
- request rather than a FakeRequest when it sets up the request as a
- threadlocal.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` API now uses a 'real' WebOb
- request rather than a FakeRequest when it calls the traverser.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.request.FakeRequest`` class has been removed.
-
-- Most uses of the ZCA threadlocal API (the ``getSiteManager``,
- ``getUtility``, ``getAdapter``, ``getMultiAdapter`` threadlocal API)
- have been removed from the core. Instead, when a threadlocal is
- necessary, the core uses the
- ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` API to obtain the
- registry.
-
-- The internal ILogger utility named ``repoze.bfg.debug`` is now just
- an IDebugLogger unnamed utility. A named utility with the old name
- is registered for b/w compat.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` interface was
- removed; it has become unused.
-
-- Instead of depending on the ``martian`` package to do code scanning,
- we now just use our own scanning routines.
-
-- We now no longer have a dependency on ``repoze.zcml`` package;
- instead, the ``repoze.bfg`` package includes implementations of the
- ``adapter``, ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives.
-
-- Relating to the following functions:
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_iterable``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.default_notfound_view``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.view.default_forbidden_view``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.has_permission``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.authenticated_userid``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.effective_principals``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.view_execution_permitted``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.remember``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.security.forget``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url``
-
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root``
-
- Each of these functions now expects to be called with a request
- object that has a ``registry`` attribute which represents the
- current ``repoze.bfg`` registry. They fall back to obtaining the
- registry from the threadlocal API.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilites
---------------------------
-
-- Unit tests which use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` for the
- purpose of isolating tests from one another may now begin to fail
- due to lack of isolation between tests.
-
- Here's why: In repoze.bfg 1.1 and prior, the registry returned by
- ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no other
- registry had been pushed on to the threadlocal stack was the
- ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry (aka the
- result of ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager()``). In repoze.bfg
- 1.2+, however, the registry returned in this situation is the new
- module-scope ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object. The
- ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function clears the
- ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry
- unconditionally. However, it does not know about the
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object, so it does not clear
- it.
-
- If you use the ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function in the
- ``setUp`` of test cases in your unit test suite instead of using the
- (more correct as of 1.1) ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``, you will need
- to replace all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a call
- to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``.
-
- If replacing all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a
- call to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` is infeasible, you can put this
- bit of code somewhere that is executed exactly **once** (*not* for
- each test in a test suite; in the `` __init__.py`` of your package
- or your package's ``tests`` subpackage would be a reasonable
- place)::
-
- import zope.testing.cleanup
- from repoze.bfg.testing import setUp
- zope.testing.cleanup.addCleanUp(setUp)
-
-- When there is no "current registry" in the
- ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.manager`` threadlocal data structure (this
- is the case when there is no "current request" or we're not in the
- midst of a ``r.b.testing.setUp``-bounded unit test), the ``.get``
- method of the manager returns a data structure containing a *global*
- registry. In previous releases, this function returned the global
- Zope "base" registry: the result of
- ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``, which is an instance of the
- ``zope.component.registry.Component`` class. In this release,
- however, the global registry returns a globally importable instance
- of the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` class. This registry
- instance can always be imported as
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``.
-
- Effectively, this means that when you call
- ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no request or
- ``setUp`` bounded unit test is in effect, you will always get back
- the global registry that lives in
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``. It also means that
- ``repoze.bfg`` APIs that *call* ``get_current_registry`` will use
- this registry.
-
- This change was made because ``repoze.bfg`` now expects the registry
- it uses to have a slightly different API than a bare instance of
- ``zope.component.registry.Components``.
-
-- View registration no longer registers a
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IViewPermission`` adapter (it is no longer
- checked by the framework; since 1.1, views have been responsible for
- providing their own security).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` callable no longer accepts the
- ``authentication_policy`` nor the ``authorization_policy``
- arguments. This feature was deprecated in version 1.0 and has been
- removed.
-
-- Obscure: the machinery which configured views with a
- ``request_type`` *and* a ``route_name`` would ignore the request
- interface implied by ``route_name`` registering a view only for the
- interface implied by ``request_type``. In the unlikely event that
- you were trying to use these two features together, the symptom
- would have been that views that named a ``request_type`` but which
- were also associated with routes were not found when the route
- matched. Now if a view is configured with both a ``request_type``
- and a ``route_name``, an error is raised.
-
-- The ``route`` ZCML directive now no longer accepts the
- ``request_type`` or ``view_request_type`` attributes. These
- attributes didn't actually work in any useful way (see entry above
- this one).
-
-- Because the ``repoze.bfg`` package now includes implementations of
- the ``adapter``, ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` ZCML directives, it
- is now an error to have ``<include package="repoze.zcml"
- file="meta.zcml"/>`` in the ZCML of a ``repoze.bfg`` application. A
- ZCML conflict error will be raised if your ZCML does so. This
- shouldn't be an issue for "normal" installations; it has always been
- the responsibility of the ``repoze.bfg.includes`` ZCML to include
- this file in the past; it now just doesn't.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.zcml_configure`` API was removed. Use
- the ``Configurator.load_zcml`` API instead.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` function is now nominally
- deprecated. Its import and usage does not throw a warning, nor will
- it probably ever disappear. However, using a
- ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class is now the preferred
- way to generate a WSGI application.
-
- Note that ``make_app`` calls
- ``zope.component.getSiteManager.sethook(
- repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry)`` on the caller's
- behalf, hooking ZCA global API lookups, for backwards compatibility
- purposes. If you disuse ``make_app``, your calling code will need
- to perform this call itself, at least if your application uses the
- ZCA global API (``getSiteManager``, ``getAdapter``, etc).
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- A dependency on the ``martian`` package has been removed (its
- functionality is replaced internally).
-
-- A dependency on the ``repoze.zcml`` package has been removed (its

-1.1.1 (2009-11-21)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- "Hybrid mode" applications (applications which explicitly used
- traversal *after* url dispatch via ``<route>`` paths containing the
- ``*traverse`` element) were broken in 1.1-final and all 1.1 alpha
- and beta releases. Views registered without a ``route_name`` route
- shadowed views registered with a ``route_name`` inappropriately.
-
-1.1 (2009-11-15)
-================
-
-Internals
----------
-
-- Remove dead IRouteRequirement interface from ``repoze.bfg.zcml``
- module.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Improve the "Extending an Existing Application" narrative chapter.
-
-- Add more sections to the "Defending Design" chapter.
-
-1.1b4 (2009-11-12)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Use ``alsoProvides`` in the urldispatch module to attach an
- interface to the request rather than ``directlyProvides`` to avoid
- disturbing interfaces set in a NewRequest event handler.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Move 1.0.1 and previous changelog to HISTORY.txt.
-
-- Add examples to ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` docstring.
-
-- Add "Defending BFG Design" chapter to frontpage docs.
-
-Templates
----------
-
-- Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and its import from all paster templates,
- samples, and tutorials for ``distribute`` compatibility. The
- documentation already explains how to install virtualenv (which will
- include some ``setuptools`` package), so these files, imports and
- usages were superfluous.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``options`` kw arg to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``
- function is deprecated. In its place is the keyword argument
- ``settings``. The ``options`` keyword continues to work, and a
- deprecation warning is not emitted when it is detected. However,
- the paster templates, code samples, and documentation now make
- reference to ``settings`` rather than ``options``. This
- change/deprecation was mainly made for purposes of clarity and
- symmetry with the ``get_settings()`` API and dicussions of
- "settings" in various places in the docs: we want to use the same
- name to refer to the same thing everywhere.
-
-1.1b3 (2009-11-06)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerRoutesMapper`` testing facility added.
- This testing function registers a routes "mapper" object in the
- registry, for tests which require its presence. This function is
- documented in the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` API documentation.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Compound statements that used an assignment entered into in an
- interactive IPython session invoked via ``paster bfgshell`` no
- longer fail to mutate the shell namespace correctly. For example,
- this set of statements used to fail::
-
- In [2]: def bar(x): return x
- ...:
- In [3]: list(bar(x) for x in 'abc')
- Out[3]: NameError: 'bar'
-
- In this release, the ``bar`` function is found and the correct
- output is now sent to the console. Thanks to Daniel Holth for the
- patch.
-
-- The ``bfgshell`` command did not function properly; it was still
- expecting to be able to call the root factory with a bare
- ``environ`` rather than a request object.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root`` function now expects a
- ``request`` object as its second argument rather than an
- ``environ``.
-
-1.1b2 (2009-11-02)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Prevent PyPI installation failure due to ``easy_install`` trying way
- too hard to guess the best version of Paste. When ``easy_install``
- pulls from PyPI it reads links off various pages to determine "more
- up to date" versions. It incorrectly picks up a link for an ancient
- version of a package named "Paste-Deploy-0.1" (note the dash) when
- trying to find the "Paste" distribution and somehow believes it's
- the latest version of "Paste". It also somehow "helpfully" decides
- to check out a version of this package from SVN. We pin the Paste
- dependency version to a version greater than 1.7 to work around
- this ``easy_install`` bug.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Fix "Hybrid" narrative chapter: stop claiming that ``<view>``
- statements that mention a route_name need to come afer (in XML
- order) the ``<route>`` statement which creates the route. This
- hasn't been true since 1.1a1.
-
-- "What's New in ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1" document added to narrative
- documentation.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a new event type: ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraversal``. Events
- of this type will be sent after traversal is completed, but before
- any view code is invoked. Like ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest``,
- This event will have a single attribute: ``request`` representing
- the current request. Unlike the request attribute of
- ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest`` however, during an AfterTraversal
- event, the request object will possess attributes set by the
- traverser, most notably ``context``, which will be the context used
- when a view is found and invoked. The interface
- ``repoze.bfg.events.IAfterTraversal`` can be used to subscribe to
- the event. For example::
-
- <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal"
- handler="my.app.handle_after_traverse"/>
-
- Like any framework event, a subscriber function should expect one
- parameter: ``event``.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- Rather than depending on ``chameleon.core`` and ``chameleon.zpt``
- distributions individually, depend on Malthe's repackaged
- ``Chameleon`` distribution (which includes both ``chameleon.core``
- and ``chameleon.zpt``).
-
-1.1b1 (2009-11-01)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The routes root factory called route factories and the default route
- factory with an environ rather than a request. One of the symptoms
- of this bug: applications generated using the ``bfg_zodb`` paster
- template in 1.1a9 did not work properly.
-
-- Reinstate ``renderer`` alias for ``view_renderer`` in the
- ``<route>`` ZCML directive (in-the-wild 1.1a bw compat).
-
-- ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template: change ``<route>``
- declarations: rename ``renderer`` attribute to ``view_renderer``.
-
-- Header values returned by the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``
- ``remember`` and ``forget`` methods would be of type ``unicode``.
- This violated the WSGI spec, causing a ``TypeError`` to be raised
- when these headers were used under ``mod_wsgi``.
-
-- If a BFG app that had a route matching the root URL was mounted
- under a path in modwsgi, ala ``WSGIScriptAlias /myapp
- /Users/chrism/projects/modwsgi/env/bfg.wsgi``, the home route (a
- route with the path of ``'/'`` or ``''``) would not match when the
- path ``/myapp`` was visited (only when the path ``/myapp/`` was
- visited). This is now fixed: if the urldispatch root factory notes
- that the PATH_INFO is empty, it converts it to a single slash before
- trying to do matching.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- In ``<route>`` declarations in tutorial ZCML, rename ``renderer``
- attribute to ``view_renderer`` (fwd compat).
-
-- Fix various tutorials broken by 1.1a9 ``<route>`` directive changes.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Deal with a potential circref in the traversal module.
-
-1.1a9 (2009-10-31)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- An incorrect ZCML conflict would be encountered when the
- ``request_param`` predicate attribute was used on the ZCML ``view``
- directive if any two otherwise same-predicated views had the
- combination of a predicate value with an ``=`` sign and one without
- (e.g. ``a`` vs. ``a=123``).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- In previous versions of BFG, the "root factory" (the ``get_root``
- callable passed to ``make_app`` or a function pointed to by the
- ``factory`` attribute of a route) was called with a "bare" WSGI
- environment. In this version, and going forward, it will be called
- with a ``request`` object. The request object passed to the factory
- implements dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing root
- factory code which expects to be passed an environ will continue to
- work.
-
-- The ``__call__`` of a plugin "traverser" implementation (registered
- as an adapter for ``ITraverser`` or ``ITraverserFactory``) will now
- receive a *request* as the single argument to its ``__call__``
- method. In previous versions it was passed a WSGI ``environ``
- object. The request object passed to the factory implements
- dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing traverser code
- which expects to be passed an environ will continue to work.
-
-- The ZCML ``route`` directive's attributes ``xhr``,
- ``request_method``, ``path_info``, ``request_param``, ``header`` and
- ``accept`` are now *route* predicates rather than *view* predicates.
- If one or more of these predicates is specified in the route
- configuration, all of the predicates must return true for the route
- to match a request. If one or more of the route predicates
- associated with a route returns ``False`` when checked during a
- request, the route match fails, and the next match in the routelist
- is tried. This differs from the previous behavior, where no route
- predicates existed and all predicates were considered view
- predicates, because in that scenario, the next route was not tried.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Various changes were made to narrative and API documentation
- supporting the change from passing a request rather than an environ
- to root factories and traversers.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- The request implements dictionary-like methods that mutate and query
- the WSGI environ. This is only for the purpose of backwards
- compatibility with root factories which expect an ``environ`` rather
- than a request.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory`` function,
- which returned a request factory was removed in favor of a
- ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface`` function, which
- returns an interface.
-
-- 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).
-
-- Reverse the order in which the router calls the request factory and
- the root factory. The request factory is now called first; the
- resulting request is passed to the root factory.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function has been
- removed. Its functionality is no longer required.
-
-- The "routes root factory" that wraps the default root factory when
- there are routes mentioned in the configuration now attaches an
- interface to the request via ``zope.interface.directlyProvides``.
- This replaces logic in the (now-gone)
- ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function.
-
-- The ``route`` and ``view`` ZCML directives now register an interface
- as a named utility (retrieved from
- ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface``) rather than a
- request factory (the previous return value of the now-missing
- ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.functional`` module was renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.compat``.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Explicitly revert the feature introduced in 1.1a8: where the name
- ``root`` is available as an attribute of the request before a
- NewRequest event is emitted. This makes some potential future
- features impossible, or at least awkward (such as grouping traversal
- and view lookup into a single adapter lookup).
-
-- The ``containment``, ``attr`` and ``renderer`` attributes of the
- ``route`` ZCML directive were removed.
-
-1.1a8 (2009-10-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``path_info`` view configuration predicate.
-
-- ``paster bfgshell`` now supports IPython if it's available for
- import. Thanks to Daniel Holth for the initial patch.
-
-- Add ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerSettings`` API, which is documented
- in the "repoze.bfg.testing" API chapter. This allows for
- registration of "settings" values obtained via
- ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings()`` for use in unit tests.
-
-- The name ``root`` is available as an attribute of the request
- slightly earlier now (before a NewRequest event is emitted).
- ``root`` is the result of the application "root factory".
-
-- Added ``max_age`` parameter to ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML
- directive. If this value is set, it must be an integer representing
- the number of seconds which the auth tkt cookie will survive.
- Mainly, its existence allows the auth_tkt cookie to survive across
- browser sessions.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix bug encountered during "scan" (when ``<scan ..>`` directive is
- used in ZCML) introduced in 1.1a7. Symptom: ``AttributeError:
- object has no attribute __provides__`` raised at startup time.
-
-- The ``reissue_time`` argument to the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``
- ZCML directive now actually works. When it is set to an integer
- value, an authticket set-cookie header is appended to the response
- whenever a request requires authentication and 'now' minus the
- authticket's timestamp is greater than ``reissue_time`` seconds.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add a chapter titled "Request and Response" to the narrative
- documentation, content cribbed from the WebOb documentation.
-
-- Call out predicate attributes of ZCML directive within "Views"
- chapter.
-
-- Fix route_url documentation (``_query`` argument documented as
- ``query`` and ``_anchor`` argument documented as ``anchor``).
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``authtkt`` authentication policy ``remember`` method now no
- longer honors ``token`` or ``userdata`` keyword arguments.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Change how ``bfg_view`` decorator works when used as a class method
- decorator. In 1.1a7, the``scan``directive actually tried to grope
- every class in scanned package at startup time, calling ``dir``
- against each found class, and subsequently invoking ``getattr``
- against each thing found by ``dir`` to see if it was a method. This
- led to some strange symptoms (e.g. ``AttributeError: object has no
- attribute __provides__``), and was generally just a bad idea. Now,
- instead of groping classes for methods at startup time, we just
- cause the ``bfg_view`` decorator itself to populate the method's
- class' ``__dict__`` when it is used as a method decorator. This
- also requires a nasty _getframe thing but it's slightly less nasty
- than the startup time groping behavior. This is essentially a
- reversion back to 1.1a6 "grokking" behavior plus some special magic
- for using the ``bfg_view`` decorator as method decorator inside the
- ``bfg_view`` class itself.
-
-- The router now checks for a ``global_response_headers`` attribute of
- the request object before returning a response. If this value
- exists, it is presumed to be a sequence of two-tuples, representing
- a set of headers to append to the 'normal' response headers. This
- feature is internal, rather than exposed externally, because it's
- unclear whether it will stay around in the long term. It was added
- to support the ``reissue_time`` feature of the authtkt
- authentication policy.
-
-- The interface ITraverserFactory is now just an alias for ITraverser.
-
-1.1a7 (2009-10-18)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- More than one ``@bfg_view`` decorator may now be stacked on top of
- any number of others. Each invocation of the decorator registers a
- single view configuration. For instance, the following combination
- of decorators and a function will register two view configurations
- for the same view callable::
-
- from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view
-
- @bfg_view(name='edit')
- @bfg_view(name='change')
- def edit(context, request):
- pass
-
- This makes it possible to associate more than one view configuration
- with a single callable without requiring any ZCML.
-
-- The ``@bfg_view`` decorator can now be used against a class method::
-
- from webob import Response
- from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view
-
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
-
- @bfg_view(name='hello')
- def amethod(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- When the bfg_view decorator is used against a class method, a view
- is registered for the *class* (it's a "class view" where the "attr"
- happens to be the name of the method it is attached to), so the
- class it's defined within must have a suitable constructor: one that
- accepts ``context, request`` or just ``request``.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added ``Changing the Traverser`` and ``Changing How
- :mod:`repoze.bfg.url.model_url` Generates a URL`` to the "Hooks"
- narrative chapter of the docs.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and imports of it within ``setup.py``. In
- the new world, and as per virtualenv setup instructions, people will
- already have either setuptools or distribute.
-
-1.1a6 (2009-10-15)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``xhr``, ``accept``, and ``header`` view configuration
- predicates to ZCML view declaration, ZCML route declaration, and
- ``bfg_view`` decorator. See the ``Views`` narrative documentation
- chapter for more information about these predicates.
-
-- Add ``setUp`` and ``tearDown`` functions to the
- ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module. Using ``setUp`` in a test setup and
- ``tearDown`` in a test teardown is now the recommended way to do
- component registry setup and teardown. Previously, it was
- recommended that a single function named
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` be called in both the test setup and
- tear down. ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` still exists (and will
- exist "forever" due to its widespread use); it is now just an alias
- for ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and is nominally deprecated.
-
-- The BFG component registry is now available in view and event
- subscriber code as an attribute of the request
- ie. ``request.registry``. This fact is currently undocumented
- except for this note, because BFG developers never need to interact
- with the registry directly anywhere else.
-
-- The BFG component registry now inherits from ``dict``, meaning that
- it can optionally be used as a simple dictionary. *Component*
- registrations performed against it via e.g. ``registerUtility``,
- ``registerAdapter``, and similar API methods are kept in a
- completely separate namespace than its dict members, so using the
- its component API methods won't effect the keys and values in the
- dictionary namespace. Likewise, though the component registry
- "happens to be" a dictionary, use of mutating dictionary methods
- such as ``__setitem__`` will have no influence on any component
- registrations made against it. In other words, the registry object
- you obtain via e.g. ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry``
- or ``request.registry`` happens to be both a component registry and
- a dictionary, but using its component-registry API won't impact data
- added to it via its dictionary API and vice versa. This is a
- forward compatibility move based on the goals of "marco".
-
-- Expose and document ``repoze.bfg.testing.zcml_configure`` API. This
- function populates a component registry from a ZCML file for testing
- purposes. It is documented in the "Unit and Integration Testing"
- chapter.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Virtual hosting narrative docs chapter updated with info about
- ``mod_wsgi``.
-
-- Point all index URLs at the literal 1.1 index (this alpha cycle may
- go on a while).
-
-- Various tutorial test modules updated to use
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown``
- methods in order to encourage this as best practice going forward.
-
-- Added "Creating Integration Tests" section to unit testing narrative
- documentation chapter. As a result, the name of the unittesting
- chapter is now "Unit and Integration Testing".
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Importing ``getSiteManager`` and ``get_registry`` from
- ``repoze.bfg.registry`` is no longer supported. These imports were
- deprecated in repoze.bfg 1.0. Import of ``getSiteManager`` should
- be done as ``from zope.component import getSiteManager``. Import of
- ``get_registry`` should be done as ``from repoze.bfg.threadlocal
- import get_current_registry``. This was done to prevent a circular
- import dependency.
-
-- Code bases which alternately invoke both
- ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp``
- (treating them equivalently, using them interchangeably) in the
- setUp/tearDown of unit tests will begin to experience test failures
- due to lack of test isolation. The "right" mechanism is
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` (or the combination of
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown``). but a good number of legacy
- codebases will use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` instead. We
- support ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` but not in combination with
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` in the same codebase. You should use
- one or the other test cleanup function in a single codebase, but not
- both.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Created new ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` module which assumes
- responsibilities previously held by the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.router`` modules (avoid a circular import dependency).
-
-- The result of the ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function in unit
- tests set up with ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` or
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` will be an instance of
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` instead of the global
- ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` registry. This also means
- that the threadlocal ZCA API functions such as ``getAdapter`` and
- ``getUtility`` as well as internal BFG machinery (such as
- ``model_url`` and ``route_url``) will consult this registry within
- unit tests. This is a forward compatibility move based on the goals
- of "marco".
-
-- Removed ``repoze.bfg.testing.addCleanUp`` function and associated
- module-scope globals. This was never an API.
-
-1.1a5 (2009-10-10)
-==================
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Change "Traversal + ZODB" and "URL Dispatch + SQLAlchemy" Wiki
- tutorials to make use of the new-to-1.1 "renderer" feature (return
- dictionaries from all views).
-
-- Add tests to the "URL Dispatch + SQLAlchemy" tutorial after the
- "view" step.
-
-- Added a diagram of model graph traversal to the "Traversal"
- narrative chapter of the documentation.
-
-- An ``exceptions`` API chapter was added, documenting the new
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module.
-
-- Describe "request-only" view calling conventions inside the
- urldispatch narrative chapter, where it's most helpful.
-
-- Add a diagram which explains the operation of the BFG router to the
- "Router" narrative chapter.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a new ``repoze.bfg.testing`` API: ``registerRoute``, for
- registering routes to satisfy calls to
- e.g. ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` in unit tests.
-
-- The ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives now accept the
- following addtional attributes: ``attr``, ``renderer``, and
- ``wrapper``. These have the same meaning as they do in the context
- of a ZCML ``view`` directive.
-
-- For behavior like Django's ``APPEND_SLASH=True``, use the
- ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` view as the Not Found
- view in your application. When this view is the Not Found view
- (indicating that no view was found), and any routes have been
- defined in the configuration of your application, if the value of
- ``PATH_INFO`` does not already end in a slash, and if the value of
- ``PATH_INFO`` *plus* a slash matches any route's path, do an HTTP
- redirect to the slash-appended PATH_INFO. Note that this will
- *lose* ``POST`` data information (turning it into a GET), so you
- shouldn't rely on this to redirect POST requests.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.location.lineage`` slightly.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.encode.urlencode`` (nee'
- ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) slightly.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` slightly.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` slightly.
-
-- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` slightly.
-
-- Sped up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser:__call__``
- slightly.
-
-- Minor speedup of ``repoze.bfg.router.Router.__call__``.
-
-- New ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module was created to house exceptions
- that were previously sprinkled through various modules.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Move ``repoze.bfg.traversal._url_quote`` into ``repoze.bfg.encode``
- as ``url_quote``.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The import of ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` is deprecated in favor of
- ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``. The old location still
- functions, but emits a deprecation warning.
-
-- The import of ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` is deprecated in
- favor of ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``. The old location
- still functions but emits a deprecation warning. The rename from
- ``Unauthorized`` to ``Forbidden`` brings parity to the the name of
- the exception and the system view it invokes when raised.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- We previously had a Unicode-aware wrapper for the
- ``urllib.urlencode`` function named ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``
- which delegated to the stdlib function, but which marshalled all
- unicode values to utf-8 strings before calling the stdlib version.
- A newer replacement now lives in ``repoze.bfg.encode`` The
- replacement does not delegate to the stdlib.
-
- The replacement diverges from the stdlib implementation and the
- previous ``repoze.bfg.url`` url implementation inasmuch as its
- ``doseq`` argument is now a decoy: it always behaves in the
- ``doseq=True`` way (which is the only sane behavior) for speed
- purposes.
-
- The old import location (``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) still
- functions and has not been deprecated.
-
-- In 0.8a7, the return value expected from an object implementing
- ``ITraverserFactory`` was changed from a sequence of values to a
- dictionary containing the keys ``context``, ``view_name``,
- ``subpath``, ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, ``virtual_root_path``,
- and ``root``. Until now, old-style traversers which returned a
- sequence have continued to work but have generated a deprecation
- warning. In this release, traversers which return a sequence
- instead of a dictionary will no longer work.
-
-1.1a4 (2009-09-23)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- On 64-bit Linux systems, views that were members of a multiview
- (orderings of views with predicates) were not evaluated in the
- proper order. Symptom: in a configuration that had two views with
- the same name but one with a ``request_method=POST`` predicate and
- one without, the one without the predicate would be called
- unconditionally (even if the request was a POST request). Thanks
- much to Sebastien Douche for providing the buildbots that pointed
- this out.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added a tutorial which explains how to use ``repoze.session``
- (ZODB-based sessions) in a ZODB-based repoze.bfg app.
-
-- Added a tutorial which explains how to add ZEO to a ZODB-based
- ``repoze.bfg`` application.
-
-- Added a tutorial which explains how to run a ``repoze.bfg``
- application under `mod_wsgi <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/>`_.
- See "Running a repoze.bfg Application under mod_wsgi" in the
- tutorials section of the documentation.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API which is capable of
- generating URLs to static resources defined by the ``<static>`` ZCML
- directive. See the "Views" narrative chapter's section titled
- "Generating Static Resource URLs" for more information.
-
-- Add a ``string`` renderer. This renderer converts a non-Response
- return value of any view callble into a string. It is documented in
- the "Views" narrative chapter.
-
-- Give the ``route`` ZCML directive the ``view_attr`` and
- ``view_renderer`` parameters (bring up to speed with 1.1a3
- features). These can also be spelled as ``attr`` and ``renderer``.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- An object implementing the ``IRenderer`` interface (and
- ``ITemplateRenderer`, which is a subclass of ``IRenderer``) must now
- accept an extra ``system`` argument in its ``__call__`` method
- implementation. Values computed by the system (as opposed to by the
- view) are passed by the system in the ``system`` parameter, which
- will always be a dictionary. Keys in the dictionary include:
- ``view`` (the view object that returned the value),
- ``renderer_name`` (the template name or simple name of the
- renderer), ``context`` (the context object passed to the view), and
- ``request`` (the request object passed to the view). Previously
- only ITemplateRenderers received system arguments as elements inside
- the main ``value`` dictionary.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- The way ``bfg_view`` declarations are scanned for has been modified.
- This should have no external effects.
-
-- Speed: do not register an ITraverserFactory in configure.zcml;
- instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to
- ModelGraphTraverser.
-
-- Speed: do not register an IContextURL in configure.zcml; instead
- rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to TraversalContextURL.
-
-- General speed microimprovements for helloworld benchmark: replace
- try/excepts with statements which use 'in' keyword.
-
-1.1a3 (2009-09-16)
-==================
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- The "Views" narrative chapter in the documentation has been updated
- extensively to discuss "renderers".
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``renderer`` attribute has been added to view configurations,
- replacing the previous (1.1a2) version's ``template`` attribute. A
- "renderer" is an object which accepts the return value of a view and
- converts it to a string. This includes, but is not limited to,
- templating systems.
-
-- A new interface named ``IRenderer`` was added. The existing
- interface, ``ITemplateRenderer`` now derives from this new
- interface. This interface is internal.
-
-- A new interface named ``IRendererFactory`` was added. An existing
- interface named ``ITemplateRendererFactory`` now derives from this
- interface. This interface is internal.
-
-- The ``view`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive is no longer
- required if the ZCML directive also has a ``renderer`` attribute.
- This is useful when the renderer is a template renderer and no names
- need be passed to the template at render time.
-
-- A new zcml directive ``renderer`` has been added. It is documented
- in the "Views" narrative chapter of the documentation.
-
-- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``
- decorator) can now accept a "wrapper" value. If a "wrapper" value
- is supplied, it is the value of a separate view's *name* attribute.
- When a view with a ``wrapper`` attribute is rendered, the "inner"
- view is first rendered normally. Its body is then attached to the
- request as "wrapped_body", and then a wrapper view name is looked up
- and rendered (using ``repoze.bfg.render_view_to_response``), passed
- the request and the context. The wrapper view is assumed to do
- something sensible with ``request.wrapped_body``, usually inserting
- its structure into some other rendered template. This feature makes
- it possible to specify (potentially nested) "owrap" relationships
- between views using only ZCML or decorators (as opposed always using
- ZPT METAL and analogues to wrap view renderings in outer wrappers).
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- When used under Python < 2.6, BFG now has an installation time
- dependency on the ``simplejson`` package.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API has been
- deprecated in favor of
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer``. A deprecation
- warning is *not* issued at import time for the former name; it will
- exist "forever"; its existence has been removed from the
- documentation, however.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.renderer.template_renderer_factory``. This
- was never an API, but code in the wild was spotted that used it. A
- deprecation warning is issued at import time for the former.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface has been changed. Previously
- its ``__call__`` method accepted ``**kw``. It now accepts a single
- positional parameter named ``kw`` (REVISED: it accepts two
- positional parameters as of 1.1a4: ``value`` and ``system``). This
- is mostly an internal change, but it was exposed in APIs in one
- place: if you've used the
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API in your tests with
- a custom "renderer" argument with your own renderer implementation,
- you will need to change that renderer implementation to accept
- ``kw`` instead of ``**kw`` in its ``__call__`` method (REVISED: make
- it accept ``value`` and ``system`` positional arguments as of 1.1a4).
-
-- The ``ITemplateRendererFactory`` interface has been changed.
- Previously its ``__call__`` method accepted an ``auto_reload``
- keyword parameter. Now its ``__call__`` method accepts no keyword
- parameters. Renderers are now themselves responsible for
- determining details of auto-reload. This is purely an internal
- change. This interface was never external.
-
-- The ``template_renderer`` ZCML directive introduced in 1.1a2 has
- been removed. It has been replaced by the ``renderer`` directive.
-
-- The previous release (1.1a2) added a view configuration attribute
- named ``template``. In this release, the attribute has been renamed
- to ``renderer``. This signifies that the attribute is more generic:
- it can now be not just a template name but any renderer name (ala
- ``json``).
-
-- In the previous release (1.1a2), the Chameleon text template
- renderer was used if the system didn't associate the ``template``
- view configuration value with a filename with a "known" extension.
- In this release, you must use a ``renderer`` attribute which is a
- path that ends with a ``.txt`` extension
- (e.g. ``templates/foo.txt``) to use the Chameleon text renderer.
-
-1.1a2 (2009-09-14)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``
- decorator) can now accept an "attr" value. If an "attr" value is
- supplied, it is considered a method named of the view object to be
- called when the response is required. This is typically only good
- for views that are classes or instances (not so useful for
- functions, as functions typically have no methods other than
- ``__call__``).
-
-- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``
- decorator) can now accept a "template" value. If a "template" value
- is supplied, and the view callable returns a dictionary, the
- associated template is rendered with the dictionary as keyword
- arguments. See the section named "Views That Have a ``template``"
- in the "Views" narrative documentation chapter for more information.
-
-1.1a1 (2009-09-06)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- "tests" module removed from the bfg_alchemy paster template; these
- tests didn't work.
-
-- Bugfix: the ``discriminator`` for the ZCML "route" directive was
- incorrect. It was possible to register two routes that collided
- without the system spitting out a ConfigurationConflictError at
- startup time.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Feature addition: view predicates. These are exposed as the
- ``request_method``, ``request_param``, and ``containment``
- attributes of a ZCML ``view`` declaration, or the respective
- arguments to a ``@bfg_view`` decorator. View predicates can be used
- to register a view for a more precise set of environment parameters
- than was previously possible. For example, you can register two
- views with the same ``name`` with different ``request_param``
- attributes. If the ``request.params`` dict contains 'foo'
- (request_param="foo"), one view might be called; if it contains
- 'bar' (request_param="bar"), another view might be called.
- ``request_param`` can also name a key/value pair ala ``foo=123``.
- This will match only when the ``foo`` key is in the request.params
- dict and it has the value '123'. This particular example makes it
- possible to write separate view functions for different form
- submissions. The other predicates, ``containment`` and
- ``request_method`` work similarly. ``containment`` is a view
- predicate that will match only when the context's graph lineage has
- an object possessing a particular class or interface, for example.
- ``request_method`` is a view predicate that will match when the HTTP
- ``REQUEST_METHOD`` equals some string (eg. 'POST').
-
-- The ``@bfg_view`` decorator now accepts three additional arguments:
- ``request_method``, ``request_param``, and ``containment``.
- ``request_method`` is used when you'd like the view to match only a
- request with a particular HTTP ``REQUEST_METHOD``; a string naming
- the ``REQUEST_METHOD`` can also be supplied as ``request_type`` for
- backwards compatibility. ``request_param`` is used when you'd like
- a view to match only a request that contains a particular
- ``request.params`` key (with or without a value). ``containment``
- is used when you'd like to match a request that has a context that
- has some class or interface in its graph lineage. These are
- collectively known as "view predicates".
-
-- The ``route`` ZCML directive now honors ``view_request_method``,
- ``view_request_param`` and ``view_containment`` attributes, which
- pass along these values to the associated view if any is provided.
- Additionally, the ``request_type`` attribute can now be spelled as
- ``view_request_type``, and ``permission`` can be spelled as
- ``view_permission``. Any attribute which starts with ``view_`` can
- now be spelled without the ``view_`` prefix, so ``view_for`` can be
- spelled as ``for`` now, etc. Both forms are documented in the
- urldispatch narraitve documentation chapter.
-
-- The ``request_param`` ZCML view directive attribute (and its
- ``bfg_view`` decorator cousin) can now specify both a key and a
- value. For example, ``request_param="foo=123"`` means that the foo
- key must have a value of ``123`` for the view to "match".
-
-- Allow ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_interface`` API to use a class
- object as the argument to compare against the ``model`` passed in.
- This means you can now do ``find_interface(model, SomeClass)`` and
- the first object which is found in the lineage which has
- ``SomeClass`` as its class (or the first object found which has
- ``SomeClass`` as any of its superclasses) will be returned.
-
-- Added ``static`` ZCML directive which registers a route for a view
- that serves up files in a directory. See the "Views" narrative
- documentation chapter's "Serving Static Resources Using a ZCML
- Directive" section for more information.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` class now accepts a string as its
- first argument ("root_dir") that represents a package-relative name
- e.g. ``somepackage:foo/bar/static``. This is now the preferred
- mechanism for spelling package-relative static paths using this
- class. A ``package_name`` keyword argument has been left around for
- backwards compatibility. If it is supplied, it will be honored.
-
-- The API ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerView`` now takes a
- ``permission`` argument. Use this instead of using
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerViewPermission``.
-
-- The ordering of route declarations vs. the ordering of view
- declarations that use a "route_name" in ZCML no longer matters.
- Previously it had been impossible to use a route_name from a route
- that had not yet been defined in ZCML (order-wise) within a "view"
- declaration.
-
-- The repoze.bfg router now catches both
- ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` exceptions while rendering a view.
- When the router catches an ``Unauthorized``, it returns the
- registered forbidden view. When the router catches a ``NotFound``,
- it returns the registered notfound view.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Change urldispatch internals: Route object is now constructed using
- a path, a name, and a factory instead of a name, a matcher, a
- generator, and a factory.
-
-- Move (non-API) default_view, default_forbidden_view, and
- default_notfound_view functions into the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module
- (moved from ``repoze.bfg.router``).
-
-- Removed ViewPermissionFactory from ``repoze.bfg.security``. View
- permission checking is now done by registering and looking up an
- ISecuredView.
-
-- The ``static`` ZCML directive now uses a custom root factory when
- constructing a route.
-
-- The interface ``IRequestFactories`` was removed from the
- repoze.bfg.interfaces module. This interface was never an API.
-
-- The function named ``named_request_factories`` and the data
- structure named ``DEFAULT_REQUEST_FACTORIES`` have been removed from
- the ``repoze.bfg.request`` module. These were never APIs.
-
-- The ``IViewPermissionFactory`` interface has been removed. This was
- never an API.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Request-only-convention examples in the "Views" narrative
- documentation were broken.
-
-- Fixed documentation bugs related to forget and remember in security API
- docs.
-
-- Fixed documentation for ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` (in narrative
- ``Views`` chapter).
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The API ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerViewPermission`` has been
- deprecated.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The interfaces ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IGETRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``,
- ``IDELETERequest``, and ``IHEADRequest`` have been removed from the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` module. These were not documented as APIs
- post-1.0. Instead of using one of these, use a ``request_method``
- ZCML attribute or ``request_method`` bfg_view decorator parameter
- containing an HTTP method name (one of ``GET``, ``POST``, ``HEAD``,
- ``PUT``, ``DELETE``) instead of one of these interfaces if you were
- using one explicitly. Passing a string in the set (``GET``,
- ``HEAD``, ``PUT``, ``POST``, ``DELETE``) as a ``request_type``
- argument will work too. Rationale: instead of relying on interfaces
- attached to the request object, BFG now uses a "view predicate" to
- determine the request type.
-
-- Views registered without the help of the ZCML ``view`` directive are
- now responsible for performing their own authorization checking.
-
-- The ``registry_manager`` backwards compatibility alias importable
- from "repoze.bfg.registry", deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9 has been
- removed. If you are tring to use the registry manager within a
- debug script of your own, use a combination of the
- "repoze.bfg.paster.get_app" and "repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root" APIs
- instead.
-
-- The ``INotFoundAppFactory`` interface has been removed; it has
- been deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9. If you have something like
- the following in your ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <utility provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory"
- component="helloworld.factories.notfound_app_factory"/>
-
- Replace it with something like::
-
- <notfound
- view="helloworld.views.notfound_view"/>
-
- See "Changing the Not Found View" in the "Hooks" chapter of the
- documentation for more information.
-
-- The ``IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been removed; it has
- been deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9. If you have something like
- the following in your ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <utility provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory"
- component="helloworld.factories.unauthorized_app_factory"/>
-
- Replace it with something like::
-
- <forbidden
- view="helloworld.views.forbidden_view"/>
-
- See "Changing the Forbidden View" in the "Hooks" chapter of the
- documentation for more information.
-
-- ``ISecurityPolicy``-based security policies, deprecated since
- repoze.bfg 0.9, have been removed. If you have something like this
- in your ``configure.zcml``, it will no longer work::
-
- <utility
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
- factory="repoze.bfg.security.RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy"
- />
-
- If ZCML like the above exists in your application, you will receive
- an error at startup time. Instead of the above, you'll need
- something like::
-
- <remoteuserauthenticationpolicy/>
- <aclauthorizationpolicy/>
-
- This is just an example. See the "Security" chapter of the
- repoze.bfg documentation for more information about configuring
- security policies.
-
-- Custom ZCML directives which register an authentication or
- authorization policy (ala "authtktauthenticationpolicy" or
- "aclauthorizationpolicy") should register the policy "eagerly" in
- the ZCML directive instead of from within a ZCML action. If an
- authentication or authorization policy is not found in the component
- registry by the view machinery during deferred ZCML processing, view
- security will not work as expected.
-
-1.0.1 (2009-07-22)
-==================
-
-- Added support for ``has_resource``, ``resource_isdir``, and
- ``resource_listdir`` to the resource "OverrideProvider"; this fixes
- a bug with a symptom that a file could not be overridden in a
- resource directory unless a file with the same name existed in the
- original directory being overridden.
-
-- Fixed documentation bug showing invalid test for values from the
- ``matchdict``: they are stored as attributes of the ``Article``, rather
- than subitems.
-
-- Fixed documentation bug showing wrong environment key for the ``matchdict``
- produced by the matching route.
-
-- Added a workaround for a bug in Python 2.6, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2 having
- to do with a recursion error in the mimetypes module when trying to
- serve static files from Paste's FileApp:
- http://bugs.python.org/issue5853. Symptom: File
- "/usr/lib/python2.6/mimetypes.py", line 244, in guess_type return
- guess_type(url, strict) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth
- exceeded. Thanks to Armin Ronacher for identifying the symptom and
- pointing out a fix.
-
-- Minor edits to tutorials for accuracy based on feedback.
-
-- Declared Paste and PasteDeploy dependencies.
-
-1.0 (2009-07-05)
-================
-
-- Retested and added some content to GAE tutorial.
-
-- Edited "Extending" narrative docs chapter.
-
-- Added "Deleting the Database" section to the "Defining Models"
- chapter of the traversal wiki tutorial.
-
-- Spell checking of narratives and tutorials.
-
-1.0b2 (2009-07-03)
-==================
-
-- ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML directive didn't work
- without an ``environ_key`` directive (didn't match docs).
-
-- Fix ``configure_zcml`` filespec check on Windows. Previously if an
- absolute filesystem path including a drive letter was passed as
- ``filename`` (or as ``configure_zcml`` in the options dict) to
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``, it would be treated as a
- package:resource_name specification.
-
-- Fix inaccuracies and import errors in bfgwiki (traversal+ZODB) and
- bfgwiki2 (urldispatch+SA) tutorials.
-
-- Use bfgsite index for all tutorial setup.cfg files.
-
-- Full documentation grammar/style/spelling audit.
-
-1.0b1 (2009-07-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow a Paste config file (``configure_zcml``) value or an
- environment variable (``BFG_CONFIGURE_ZCML``) to name a ZCML file
- (optionally package-relative) that will be used to bootstrap the
- application. Previously, the integrator could not influence which
- ZCML file was used to do the boostrapping (only the original
- application developer could do so).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added a "Resources" chapter to the narrative documentation which
- explains how to override resources within one package from another
- package.
-
-- Added an "Extending" chapter to the narrative documentation which
- explains how to extend or modify an existing BFG application using
- another Python package and ZCML.
-
-1.0a9 (2009-07-01)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to pass strings in the form
- "package_name:relative/path" to APIs like ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response``, and ``get_template``. Sometimes
- the package in which a caller lives is a direct namespace package,
- so the module which is returned is semi-useless for navigating from.
- In this way, the caller can control the horizontal and vertical of
- where things get looked up from.
-
-1.0a8 (2009-07-01)
-==================
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Deprecate the ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy``
- arguments to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. Instead, developers
- should use the various authentication policy ZCML directives
- (``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``,
- ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` and
- ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``) and the `aclauthorizationpolicy``
- authorization policy directive as described in the changes to the
- "Security" narrative documenation chapter and the wiki tutorials.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add three new ZCML directives which configure authentication
- policies:
-
- - ``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``
-
- - ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy``
-
- - ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``
-
-- Add a new ZCML directive which configures an ACL authorization
- policy named ``aclauthorizationpolicy``.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Bug fix: when a ``repoze.bfg.resource.PackageOverrides`` class was
- instantiated, and the package it was overriding already had a
- ``__loader__`` attribute, it would fail at startup time, even if the
- ``__loader__`` attribute was another PackageOverrides instance. We
- now replace any ``__loader__`` that is also a PackageOverrides
- instance. Symptom: ``ConfigurationExecutionError: <type
- 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Package <module 'karl.views' from
- '/Users/chrism/projects/osi/bfgenv/src/karl/karl/views/__init__.pyc'>
- already has a __loader__ (probably a module in a zipped egg)``.
-
-1.0a7 (2009-06-30)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``reload_resources`` configuration file setting (aka the
- ``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` environment variable). When this is set to
- true, the server never needs to be restarted when moving files
- between directory resource overrides (esp. for templates currently).
-
-- Add a ``reload_all`` configuration file setting (aka the
- ``BFG_RELOAD_ALL`` environment variable) that implies both
- ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_templates``.
-
-- The ``static`` helper view class now uses a ``PackageURLParser`` in
- order to allow for the overriding of static resources (CSS / logo
- files, etc) using the ``resource`` ZCML directive. The
- ``PackageURLParser`` class was added to a (new) ``static`` module in
- BFG; it is a subclass of the ``StaticURLParser`` class in
- ``paste.urlparser``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function now
- checks for the ``reload_resources`` setting; if it's true, it does
- not register a template renderer (it won't use the registry as a
- template renderer cache).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add ``pkg_resources`` to the glossary.
-
-- Update the "Environment" docs to note the existence of
- ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_all``.
-
-- Updated the ``bfg_alchemy`` paster template to include two views:
- the view on the root shows a list of links to records; the view on
- a record shows the details for that object.
-
-Internal
---------
-
-- Use a colon instead of a tab as the separator between package name
- and relpath to form the "spec" when register a ITemplateRenderer.
-
-- Register a ``repoze.bfg.resource.OverrideProvider`` as a
- pkg_resources provider only for modules which are known to have
- overrides, instead of globally, when a <resource> directive is used
- (performance).
-
-1.0a6 (2009-06-29)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Use ``caller_package`` function instead of ``caller_module``
- function within ``templating`` to avoid needing to name the caller
- module in resource overrides (actually match docs).
-
-- Make it possible to override templates stored directly in a module
- with templates in a subdirectory of the same module, stored directly
- within another module, or stored in a subdirectory of another module
- (actually match docs).
-
-1.0a5 (2009-06-28)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ZCML directive exists named "resource". This ZCML directive
- allows you to override Chameleon templates within a package (both
- directories full of templates and individual template files) with
- other templates in the same package or within another package. This
- allows you to "fake out" a view's use of a template, causing it to
- retrieve a different template than the one actually named by a
- relative path to a call like
- ``render_template_to_response('templates/mytemplate.pt')``. For
- example, you can override a template file by doing::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package:templates/mytemplate.pt"
- override_with="another.package:othertemplates/anothertemplate.pt"
- />
-
- The string passed to "to_override" and "override_with" is named a
- "specification". The colon separator in a specification separates
- the package name from a package-relative directory name. The colon
- and the following relative path are optional. If they are not
- specified, the override attempts to resolve every lookup into a
- package from the directory of another package. For example::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package"
- override_with="another.package"
- />
-
-
- Individual subdirectories within a package can also be overridden::
-
- <resource
- to_override="some.package:templates/"
- override_with="another.package:othertemplates/"
- />
-
- If you wish to override a directory with another directory, you must
- make sure to attach the slash to the end of both the ``to_override``
- specification and the ``override_with`` specification. If you fail
- to attach a slash to the end of a specification that points a
- directory, you will get unexpected results. You cannot override a
- directory specification with a file specification, and vice versa (a
- startup error will occur if you try).
-
- You cannot override a resource with itself (a startup error will
- occur if you try).
-
- Only individual *package* resources may be overridden. Overrides
- will not traverse through subpackages within an overridden package.
- This means that if you want to override resources for both
- ``some.package:templates``, and ``some.package.views:templates``,
- you will need to register two overrides.
-
- The package name in a specification may start with a dot, meaning
- that the package is relative to the package in which the ZCML file
- resides. For example::
-
- <resource
- to_override=".subpackage:templates/"
- override_with="another.package:templates/"
- />
-
- Overrides for the same ``to_overrides`` specification can be named
- multiple times within ZCML. Each ``override_with`` path will be
- consulted in the order defined within ZCML, forming an override
- search path.
-
- Resource overrides can actually override resources other than
- templates. Any software which uses the ``pkg_resources``
- ``get_resource_filename``, ``get_resource_stream`` or
- ``get_resource_string`` APIs will obtain an overridden file when an
- override is used. However, the only built-in facility which uses
- the ``pkg_resources`` API within BFG is the templating stuff, so we
- only call out template overrides here.
-
-- Use the ``pkg_resources`` API to locate template filenames instead
- of dead-reckoning using the ``os.path`` module.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module now uses ``pkg_resources`` to
- locate and register template files instead of using an absolute
- path name.
-
-1.0a4 (2009-06-25)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Cause ``:segment`` matches in route paths to put a Unicode-decoded
- and URL-dequoted value in the matchdict for the value matched.
- Previously a non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the
- matchdict as the value.
-
-- Cause ``*remainder`` matches in route paths to put a *tuple* in the
- matchdict dictionary in order to be able to present Unicode-decoded
- and URL-dequoted values for the traversal path. Previously a
- non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the matchdict as
- the value.
-
-- Add optional ``max_age`` keyword value to the ``remember`` method of
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``; if this
- value is passed to ``remember``, the generated cookie will have a
- corresponding Max-Age value.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add information to the URL Dispatch narrative documentation about
- path pattern matching syntax.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Make ``route_url`` URL-quote segment replacements during generation.
- Remainder segments are not quoted.
-
-1.0a3 (2009-06-24)
-==================
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg`` no longer relies on the Routes package to interpret
- URL paths. All known existing ``path`` patterns will continue to
- work with the reimplemented logic, which lives in
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``. ``<route>`` ZCML directives which use
- certain attributes (uncommon ones) may not work (see "Backwards
- Incompatibilities" below).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- ``model_url`` when passed a request that was generated as a result
- of a route match would fail in a call to ``route.generate``.
-
-- BFG-on-GAE didn't work due to a corner case bug in the fallback
- Python implementation of ``threading.local`` (symptom:
- "Initialization arguments are not supported"). Thanks to Michael
- Bernstein for the bug report.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added a "corner case" explanation to the "Hybrid Apps" chapter
- explaining what to do when "the wrong" view is matched.
-
-- Use ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API in tutorials rather than Routes
- ``url_for`` API.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added the ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API. This API allows you to
- generate URLs based on ``<route>`` declarations. See the URL
- Dispatch narrative chapter and the "repoze.bfg.url" module API
- documentation for more information.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- As a result of disusing Routes, using the Routes ``url_for`` API
- inside a BFG application (as was suggested by previous iterations of
- tutorials) will no longer work. Use the
- ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` method instead.
-
-- The following attributes on the ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer
- work: ``encoding``, ``static``, ``filter``, ``condition_method``,
- ``condition_subdomain``, ``condition_function``, ``explicit``, or
- ``subdomains``. These were all Routes features.
-
-- The ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer supports the
- ``<requirement>`` subdirective. This was a Routes feature.
-
-1.0a2 (2009-06-23)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template app tests failed due to a
- mismatch between test and view signatures.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``view_for`` attribute to the ``route`` ZCML directive. This
- attribute should refer to an interface or a class (ala the ``for``
- attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Conditional documentation in installation section ("how to install a
- Python interpreter").
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``callback`` argument of the ``repoze.bfg.authentication``
- authentication policies named ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy``,
- ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, and
- ``AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` now must accept two positional
- arguments: the orginal argument accepted by each (userid or
- identity) plus a second argument, which will be the current request.
- Apologies, this is required to service finding groups when there is
- no "global" database connection.
-
-1.0a1 (2009-06-22)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A new ZCML directive was added named ``notfound``. This ZCML
- directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when the
- request can't otherwise be resolved to a view callable. For example::
-
- <notfound
- view="helloworld.views.notfound_view"/>
-
-- A new ZCML directive was added named ``forbidden``. This ZCML
- directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when a
- view callable for a request is found, but cannot be invoked due to
- an authorization failure. For example::
-
- <forbidden
- view="helloworld.views.forbidden_view"/>
-
-- Allow views to be *optionally* defined as callables that accept only
- a request object, instead of both a context and a request (which
- still works, and always will). The following types work as views in
- this style:
-
- - functions that accept a single argument ``request``, e.g.::
-
- def aview(request):
- pass
-
- - new and old-style classes that have an ``__init__`` method that
- accepts ``self, request``, e.g.::
-
- def View(object):
- __init__(self, request):
- pass
-
- - Arbitrary callables that have a ``__call__`` method that accepts
- ``self, request``, e.g.::
-
- def AView(object):
- def __call__(self, request):
- pass
- view = AView()
-
- This likely should have been the calling convention all along, as
- the request has ``context`` as an attribute already, and with views
- called as a result of URL dispatch, having the context in the
- arguments is not very useful. C'est la vie.
-
-- Cache the absolute path in the caller's package globals within
- ``repoze.bfg.path`` to get rid of repeated (expensive) calls to
- os.path.abspath.
-
-- Add ``reissue_time`` and ``timeout`` parameters to
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``
- constructor. If these are passed, cookies will be reset every so
- often (cadged from the same change to repoze.who lately).
-
-- The matchdict related to the matching of a Routes route is available
- on the request as the ``matchdict`` attribute:
- ``request.matchdict``. If no route matched, this attribute will be
- None.
-
-- Make 404 responses slightly cheaper by showing
- ``environ["PATH_INFO"]`` on the notfound result page rather than the
- fullly computed URL.
-
-- Move LRU cache implementation into a separate package
- (``repoze.lru``).
-
-- The concepts of traversal and URL dispatch have been unified. It is
- now possible to use the same sort of factory as both a traversal
- "root factory" and what used to be referred to as a urldispatch
- "context factory".
-
-- When the root factory argument (as a first argument) passed to
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` is ``None``, a *default* root factory
- is used. This is in support of using routes as "root finders"; it
- supplants the idea that there is a default
- ``IRoutesContextFactory``.
-
-- The `view`` ZCML statement and the ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``
- decorator now accept an extra argument: ``route_name``. If a
- ``route_name`` is specified, it must match the name of a previously
- defined ``route`` statement. When it is specified, the view will
- only be called when that route matches during a request.
-
-- It is now possible to perfom traversal *after* a route has matched.
- Use the pattern ``*traverse`` in a ``<route>`` ``path`` attribute
- within ZCML, and the path remainder which it matches will be used as
- a traversal path.
-
-- When any route defined matches, the WSGI environment will now
- contain a key ``bfg.routes.route`` (the Route object which matched),
- and a key ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` (the result of calling route.match).
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Utility registrations against
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView`` are now deprecated. Use
- the ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives instead (see the
- "Hooks" chapter for more information). Such registrations will
- continue to work, but the notfound and forbidden directives do
- "extra work" to ensure that the callable named by the directive can
- be called by the router even if it's a class or
- request-argument-only view.
-
-Removals
---------
-
-- The ``IRoutesContext``, ``IRoutesContextFactory``, and
- ``IContextNotFound`` interfaces were removed from
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``. These were never APIs.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextNotFound``,
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextURL`` classes were removed.
- These were also never APIs.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.push`` module, which implemented the ``pushpage``
- decorator, into a separate distribution, ``repoze.bfg.pushpage``.
- Applications which used this decorator should continue to work after
- adding that distribution to their installation requirements.
-
-- Changing the default request factory via an IRequestFactory utility
- registration (as used to be documented in the "Hooks" chapter's
- "Changing the request factory" section) is no longer supported. The
- dance to manufacture a request is complicated as a result of
- unifying traversal and url dispatch, making it highly unlikely for
- anyone to be able to override it properly. For those who just want
- to decorate or modify a request, use a NewRequestEvent subscriber
- (see the Events chapter in the documentation).
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.IRequestFactory`` interface was removed. See the
- bullet above for why.
-
-- Routes "context factories" (spelled as the factory argument to a
- route statement in ZCML) must now expect the WSGI environ as a
- single argument rather than a set of keyword arguments. They can
- obtain the match dictionary by asking for
- environ['bfg.routes.matchdict']. This is the same set of keywords
- that used to be passed to urldispatch "context factories" in BFG 0.9
- and below.
-
-- Using the ``@zope.component.adapter`` decorator on a bfg view
- function no longer works. Use the ``@repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``
- decorator instead to mark a function (or a class) as a view.
-
-- The name under which the matching route object is found in the
- environ was changed from ``bfg.route`` to ``bfg.routes.route``.
-
-- Finding the root is now done *before* manufacturing a request object
- (and sending a new request event) within the router (it used to be
- performed afterwards).
-
-- Adding ``*path_info`` to a route no longer changes the PATH_INFO for
- a request that matches using URL dispatch. This feature was only
- there to service the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` decorator and it
- did it wrong; use ``*subpath`` instead now.
-
-- The values of ``subpath``, ``traversed``, and ``virtual_root_path``
- attached to the request object are always now tuples instead of
- lists (performance).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``bfg_alchemy`` Paster template named "repoze.tm" in its
- pipeline rather than "repoze.tm2", causing the startup to fail.
-
-- Move BBB logic for registering an
- IAuthenticationPolicy/IForbiddenView/INotFoundView based on older
- concepts from the router module's ``make_app`` function into the
- ``repoze.bfg.zcml.zcml_configure`` callable, to service
- compatibility with scripts that use "zope.configuration.xmlconfig"
- (replace with ``repoze.bfg.zml.zcml_configure`` as necessary to get
- BBB logic)
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add interface docs related to how to create authentication policies
- and authorization policies to the "Security" narrative chapter.
-
-- Added a (fairly sad) "Combining Traversal and URL Dispatch" chapter
- to the narrative documentation. This explains the usage of
- ``*traverse`` and ``*subpath`` in routes URL patters.
-
-- A "router" chapter explaining the request/response lifecycle at a
- high level was added.
-
-- Replaced all mentions and explanations of a routes "context factory"
- with equivalent explanations of a "root factory" (context factories
- have been disused).
-
-- Updated Routes bfgwiki2 tutorial to reflect the fact that context
- factories are now no longer used.
-
-0.9.1 (2009-06-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add API named ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` which retrieves a
- derivation of values passed as the ``options`` value of
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. This API should be preferred
- instead of using getUtility(ISettings). I added a new
- ``repoze.bfg.settings`` API document as well.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Restored missing entry point declaration for bfg_alchemy paster
- template, which was accidentally removed in 0.9.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Fix a reference to ``wsgiapp`` in the ``wsgiapp2`` API documentation
- within the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module.
-
-API Removals
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` API was removed: it didn't do
- enough to be very helpful and had a misleading name.
-
-0.9 (2009-06-01)
-================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- It was not possible to register a custom ``IRoutesContextFactory``
- for use as a default context factory as documented in the "Hooks"
- chapter.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``request_type`` argument of ZCML ``view`` declarations and
- ``bfg_view`` decorators can now be one of the strings ``GET``,
- ``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``, or ``HEAD`` instead of a reference to
- the respective interface type imported from
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``.
-
-- The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts ``request_type`` as an
- alias for its ``condition_method`` argument for symmetry with the
- ``view`` directive.
-
-- The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template now provides a unit test
- and actually uses the database during a view rendering.
-
-Removals
---------
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used in
- unit tests.
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``,
- ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``.
- These classes were disused with the introduction of the
- ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add description to narrative templating chapter about how to use
- Chameleon text templates.
-
-- Changed Views narrative chapter to use method strings rather than
- interface types, and moved advanced interface type usage to Events
- narrative chapter.
-
-- Added a Routes+SQLAlchemy wiki tutorial.
-
-0.9a8 (2009-05-31)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- It is now possible to register a custom
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` for a given application.
- This feature replaces the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` feature previously
- described in the Hooks chapter. The INotFoundView will be called
- when the framework detects that a view lookup done as a result of a
- request fails; it should accept a context object and a request
- object; it should return an IResponse object (a webob response,
- basically). See the Hooks narrative chapter of the BFG docs for
- more info.
-
-- The error presented when a view invoked by the router returns a
- non-response object now includes the view's name for troubleshooting
- purposes.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- A "new response" event is emitted for forbidden and notfound views.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` interface has been
- deprecated in favor of using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` mechanism.
-
-Renames
--------
-
-- Renamed ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` to
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView``.
-
-0.9a7 (2009-05-30)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Remove "context" argument from ``effective_principals`` and
- ``authenticated_userid`` function APIs in ``repoze.bfg.security``,
- effectively a doing reversion to 0.8 and before behavior. Both
- functions now again accept only the ``request`` parameter.
-
-0.9a6 (2009-05-29)
-==================
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Changed "BFG Wiki" tutorial to use AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy
- rather than repoze.who.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrieves
- credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application
- itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for
- authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the
- documentation for more info.
-
-- Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and
- RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor
- arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for
- more info.
-
-0.9a5 (2009-05-28)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add a ``get_app`` API functions to the ``paster`` module. This
- obtains a WSGI application from a config file given a config file
- name and a section name. See the ``repoze.bfg.paster`` API docs for
- more information.
-
-- Add a new module named ``scripting``. It contains a ``get_root``
- API function, which, provided a Router instance, returns a traversal
- root object and a "closer". See the ``repoze.bfg.scripting`` API
- docs for more info.
-
-0.9a4 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Try checking for an "old style" security policy *after* we parse
- ZCML (thinko).
-
-0.9a3 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow IAuthenticationPolicy and IAuthorizationPolicy to be
- overridden via ZCML registrations (do ZCML parsing after
- registering these in router.py).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added "BFG Wiki" tutorial to documentation; it describes
- step-by-step how to create a traversal-based ZODB application with
- authentication.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Added deprecations for imports of ``ACLSecurityPolicy``,
- ``InheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserACLSecurityPolicy``,
- ``RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``,
- and ``WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy`` from the
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` module; for the meantime (for backwards
- compatibility purposes) these live in the ``repoze.bfg.secpols``
- module. Note however, that the entire concept of a "security
- policy" is deprecated in BFG in favor of separate authentication and
- authorization policies, so any use of a security policy will
- generate additional deprecation warnings even if you do start using
- ``repoze.bfg.secpols``. ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` will disappear in a
- future release of ``repoze.bfg``.
-
-Deprecated Import Alias Removals
---------------------------------
-
-- Remove ``repoze.bfg.template`` module. All imports from this
- package have been deprecated since 0.3.8. Instead, import
- ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and
- ``render_template_to_response`` from the
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module.
-
-- Remove backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). This
- must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path``).
-
-- Remove backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` (deprecated since 0.6.5).
- This must now be imported as
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import aliases for
- ``repoze.bfg.router.get_options`` and ``repoze.bfg.router.Settings``
- (deprecated since 0.6.2). These both must now be imported from
- ``repoze.bfg.settings``.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). It
- must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It
- must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4).
- It must be imported as
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` now.
-
-- Removed backwards compatibility import alias for
- ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` (deprecated since
- 0.4.4). This must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.ZPTTemplateRenderer``
- now.
-
-0.9a2 (2009-05-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A paster command has been added named "bfgshell". This command can
- be used to get an interactive prompt with your BFG root object in
- the global namespace. E.g.::
-
- bin/paster bfgshell /path/to/myapp.ini myapp
-
- See the ``Project`` chapter in the BFG documentation for more
- information.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.registry.registry_manager`` was never an API,
- but scripts in the wild were using it to set up an environment for
- use under a debug shell. A backwards compatibility shim has been
- added for this purpose, but the feature is deprecated.
-
-0.9a1 (2009-5-27)
-=================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- New API functions named ``forget`` and ``remember`` are available in
- the ``security`` module. The ``forget`` function returns headers
- which will cause the currently authenticated user to be logged out
- when set in a response. The ``remember`` function (when passed the
- proper arguments) will return headers which will cause a principal
- to be "logged in" when set in a response. See the Security API
- chapter of the docs for more info.
-
-- New keyword arguments to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` call
- have been added: ``authentication_policy`` and
- ``authorization_policy``. These should, respectively, be an
- implementation of an authentication policy (an object implementing
- the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` interface) and
- an implementation of an authorization policy (an object implementing
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy)``. Concrete
- implementations of authentication policies exist in
- ``repoze.bfg.authentication``. Concrete implementations of
- authorization policies exist in ``repoze.bfg.authorization``.
-
- Both ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy`` default
- to ``None``.
-
- If ``authentication_policy`` is ``None``, but
- ``authorization_policy`` is *not* ``None``, then
- ``authorization_policy`` is ignored (the ability to do authorization
- depends on authentication).
-
- If the ``authentication_policy`` argument is *not* ``None``, and the
- ``authorization_policy`` argument *is* ``None``, the authorization
- policy defaults to an authorization implementation that uses ACLs
- (``repoze.bfg.authorization.ACLAuthorizationPolicy``).
-
- We no longer encourage configuration of "security policies" using
- ZCML, as previously we did for ``ISecurityPolicy``. This is because
- it's not uncommon to need to configure settings for concrete
- authorization or authentication policies using paste .ini
- parameters; the app entry point for your application is the natural
- place to do this.
-
-- Two new abstractions have been added in the way of adapters used by
- the system: an ``IAuthorizationPolicy`` and an
- ``IAuthenticationPolicy``. A combination of these (as registered by
- the ``securitypolicy`` ZCML directive) take the place of the
- ``ISecurityPolicy`` abstraction in previous releases of repoze.who.
- The API functions in ``repoze.who.security`` (such as
- ``authentication_userid``, ``effective_principals``,
- ``has_permission``, and so on) have been changed to try to make use
- of these new adapters. If you're using an older ``ISecurityPolicy``
- adapter, the system will still work, but it will print deprecation
- warnings when such a policy is used.
-
-- The way the (internal) IViewPermission utilities registered via ZCML
- are invoked has changed. They are purely adapters now, returning a
- boolean result, rather than returning a callable. You shouldn't have
- been using these anyway. ;-)
-
-- New concrete implementations of IAuthenticationPolicy have been
- added to the ``repoze.bfg.authentication`` module:
- ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy`` which uses ``repoze.who``
- identity to retrieve authentication data from and
- ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, which uses the ``REMOTE_USER``
- value in the WSGI environment to retrieve authentication data.
-
-- A new concrete implementation of IAuthorizationPolicy has been added
- to the ``repoze.bfg.authorization`` module:
- ``ACLAuthorizationPolicy`` which uses ACL inheritance to do
- authorization.
-
-- It is now possible to register a custom
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` for a given
- application. This feature replaces the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` feature previously
- described in the Hooks chapter. The IForbiddenResponseFactory will
- be called when the framework detects an authorization failure; it
- should accept a context object and a request object; it should
- return an IResponse object (a webob response, basically). Read the
- below point for more info and see the Hooks narrative chapter of the
- BFG docs for more info.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Custom NotFound and Forbidden (nee' Unauthorized) WSGI applications
- (registered as a utility for INotFoundAppFactory and
- IUnauthorizedAppFactory) could rely on an environment key named
- ``message`` describing the circumstance of the response. This key
- has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.message`` (as per the WSGI spec,
- which requires environment extensions to contain dots).
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has
- been deprecated in favor of using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` mechanism.
-
-- The ``view_execution_permitted`` API should now be imported from the
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` module instead of the ``repoze.bfg.view``
- module.
-
-- The ``authenticated_userid`` and ``effective_principals`` APIs in
- ``repoze.bfg.security`` used to only take a single argument
- (request). They now accept two arguments (``context`` and
- ``request``). Calling them with a single argument is still
- supported but issues a deprecation warning. (NOTE: this change was
- reverted in 0.9a7; meaning the 0.9 versions of these functions
- again accept ``request`` only, just like 0.8 and before).
-
-- Use of "old-style" security policies (those base on ISecurityPolicy)
- is now deprecated. See the "Security" chapter of the docs for info
- about activating an authorization policy and an authentication poicy.
-
-0.8.1 (2009-05-21)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- 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
- file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between
- imperative (e.g. ``@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative
- registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same
- project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML
- files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only
- about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1
- ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes
- even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast
- that it really just didn't matter anyway.
-
-0.8 (2009-05-18)
-================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``traverse`` function to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal``
- module. This function may be used to retrieve certain values
- computed during path resolution. See the Traversal API chapter of
- the documentation for more information about this function.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Internal: ``ITraverser`` callables should now return a dictionary
- rather than a tuple. Up until 0.7.0, all ITraversers were assumed
- to return a 3-tuple. In 0.7.1, ITraversers were assumed to return a
- 6-tuple. As (by evidence) it's likely we'll need to add further
- information to the return value of an ITraverser callable, 0.8
- assumes that an ITraverser return a dictionary with certain elements
- in it. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` interface for
- the list of keys that should be present in the dictionary.
- ``ITraversers`` which return tuples will still work, although a
- deprecation warning will be issued.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- If your code used the ITraverser interface directly (not via an API
- function such as ``find_model``) via an adapter lookup, you'll need
- to change your code to expect a dictionary rather than a 3- or
- 6-tuple if your code ever gets return values from the default
- ModelGraphTraverser or RoutesModelTraverser adapters.
-
-0.8a7 (2009-05-16)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``RoutesMapper`` class in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch`` has been
- removed, as well as its documentation. It had been deprecated since
- 0.6.3. Code in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``
- which catered to it has also been removed.
-
-- The semantics of the ``route`` ZCML directive have been simplified.
- Previously, it was assumed that to use a route, you wanted to map a
- route to an externally registered view. The new ``route`` directive
- instead has a ``view`` attribute which is required, specifying the
- dotted path to a view callable. When a route directive is
- processed, a view is *registered* using the name attribute of the
- route directive as its name and the callable as its value. The
- ``view_name`` and ``provides`` attributes of the ``route`` directive
- are therefore no longer used. Effectively, if you were previously
- using the ``route`` directive, it means you must change a pair of
- ZCML directives that look like this::
-
- <route
- name="home"
- path=""
- view_name="login"
- factory=".models.root.Root"
- />
-
- <view
- for=".models.root.Root"
- name="login"
- view=".views.login_view"
- />
-
- To a ZCML directive that looks like this::
-
- <route
- name="home"
- path=""
- view=".views.login_view"
- factory=".models.root.Root"
- />
-
- In other words, to make old code work, remove the ``view``
- directives that were only there to serve the purpose of backing
- ``route`` directives, and move their ``view=`` attribute into the
- ``route`` directive itself.
-
- This change also necessitated that the ``name`` attribute of the
- ``route`` directive is now required. If you were previously using
- ``route`` directives without a ``name`` attribute, you'll need to
- add one (the name is arbitrary, but must be unique among all
- ``route`` and ``view`` statements).
-
- The ``provides`` attribute of the ``route`` directive has also been
- removed. This directive specified a sequence of interface types
- that the generated context would be decorated with. Since route
- views are always generated now for a single interface
- (``repoze.bfg.IRoutesContext``) as opposed to being looked up
- arbitrarily, there is no need to decorate any context to ensure a
- view is found.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added API docs for the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` methods
- ``registerAdapter``, ``registerUtiity``, ``registerSubscriber``, and
- ``cleanUp``.
-
-- Added glossary entry for "root factory".
-
-- Noted existence of ``repoze.bfg.pagetemplate`` template bindings in
- "Available Add On Template System Bindings" in Templates chapter in
- narrative docs.
-
-- Update "Templates" narrative chapter in docs (expand to show a
- sample template and correct macro example).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Courtesty Carlos de la Guardia, added an ``alchemy`` Paster
- template. This paster template sets up a BFG project that uses
- SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses traversal to resolve URLs. (no
- Routes areused). This template can be used via ``paster create -t
- bfg_alchemy``.
-
-- The Routes ``Route`` object used to resolve the match is now put
- into the environment as ``bfg.route`` when URL dispatch is used.
-
-- You can now change the default Routes "context factory" globally.
- See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation (in the "Changing
- the Default Routes Context Factory" section).
-
-0.8a6 (2009-05-11)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``routesalchemy`` Paster template. This paster template
- sets up a BFG project that uses SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses
- Routes exclusively to resolve URLs (no traversal root factory is
- used). This template can be used via ``paster create -t
- bfg_routesalchemy``.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to catch
- the root URL using a ZCML ``route`` directive.
-
-- Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to perform
- a cleanup function at the end of a request (e.g. close the SQL
- connection).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- In version 0.6.3, passing a ``get_root`` callback (a "root factory")
- to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` became optional if any ``route``
- declaration was made in ZCML. The intent was to make it possible to
- disuse traversal entirely, instead relying entirely on URL dispatch
- (Routes) to resolve all contexts. However a compound set of bugs
- prevented usage of a Routes-based root view (a view which responds
- to "/"). One bug existed in `repoze.bfg.urldispatch``, another
- existed in Routes itself.
-
- To resolve this issue, the urldispatch module was fixed, and a fork
- of the Routes trunk was put into the "dev" index named
- ``Routes-1.11dev-chrism-home``. The source for the fork exists at
- `http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/
- <http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/>`_; its contents have been
- merged into the Routes trunk (what will be Routes 1.11).
-
-0.8a5 (2009-05-08)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Two new security policies were added:
- RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy and
- WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy. These are security policies which
- take into account *all* ACLs defined in the lineage of a context
- rather than stopping at the first ACL found in a lineage. See the
- "Security" chapter of the API documentation for more information.
-
-- The API and narrative documentation dealing with security was
- changed to introduce the new "inheriting" security policy variants.
-
-- Added glossary entry for "lineage".
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The security policy previously named
- ``RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy`` now has the slightly saner
- name of ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``. A deprecation warning is emitted
- when this policy is imported under the "old" name; usually this is
- due to its use in ZCML within your application. If you're getting
- this deprecation warning, change your ZCML to use the new name,
- e.g. change::
-
- <utility
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
- factory="repoze.bfg.security.RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy"
- />
-
- To::
-
- <utility
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
- factory="repoze.bfg.security.WhoACLSecurityPolicy"
- />
-
-0.8a4 (2009-05-04)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- ``zope.testing`` is no longer a direct dependency, although our
- dependencies (such as ``zope.interface``, ``repoze.zcml``, etc)
- still depend on it.
-
-- Tested on Google App Engine. Added a tutorial to the documentation
- explaining how to deploy a BFG app to GAE.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Applications which rely on ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` in unit
- tests can still use that function indefinitely. However, for
- maximum forward compatibility, they should import ``cleanUp`` from
- ``repoze.bfg.testing`` instead of from ``zope.testing.cleanup``.
- The BFG paster templates and docs have been changed to use this
- function instead of the ``zope.testing.cleanup`` version.
-
-0.8a3 (2009-05-03)
-===================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Don't require a successful import of ``zope.testing`` at BFG
- application runtime. This allows us to get rid of ``zope.testing``
- on platforms like GAE which have file limits.
-
-0.8a2 (2009-05-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- We no longer include the ``configure.zcml`` of the ``chameleon.zpt``
- package within the ``configure.zcml`` of the "repoze.bfg.includes"
- package. This has been a no-op for some time now.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` package no longer imports from
- ``chameleon.zpt`` at module scope, deferring the import until later
- within a method call. The ``chameleon.zpt`` package can't be
- imported on platforms like GAE.
-
-0.8a1 (2009-05-02)
-==================
-
-Deprecation Warning and Import Alias Removals
----------------------------------------------
-
-- Since version 0.6.1, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the
- name ``model_url`` is imported from the ``repoze.bfg.traversal``
- module. This import alias (and the deprecation warning) has been
- removed. Any import of the ``model_url`` function will now need to
- be done from ``repoze.bfg.url``; any import of the name
- ``model_url`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now fail. This was
- done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport.
-
-- Since version 0.6.5, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the
- name ``RoutesModelTraverser`` is imported from the
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` module. This import alias (and the
- deprecation warning) has been removed. Any import of the
- ``RoutesModelTraverser`` class will now need to be done from
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``; any import of the name
- ``RoutesModelTraverser`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now
- fail. This was done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- This release of ``repoze.bfg`` is "C-free". This means it has no
- hard dependencies on any software that must be compiled from C
- source at installation time. In particular, ``repoze.bfg`` no
- longer depends on the ``lxml`` package.
-
- This change has introduced some backwards incompatibilities,
- described in the "Backwards Incompatibilities" section below.
-
-- This release was tested on Windows XP. It appears to work fine and
- all the tests pass.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-Incompatibilities related to making ``repoze.bfg`` "C-free":
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module, and thus support
- for Genshi-style chameleon templates. Genshi-style Chameleon
- templates depend upon ``lxml``, which is implemented in C (as
- opposed to pure Python) and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free" as
- of this release. You may get Genshi-style Chameleon support back by
- installing the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` package availalable
- from http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi (also
- available in the index at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple).
- All existing code that depended on the ``chameleon_genshi`` module
- prior to this release of ``repoze.bfg`` should work without change
- after this addon is installed.
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module and thus support for XSL
- templates. The ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module depended upon ``lxml``,
- which is implemented in C, and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free"
- as of this release. You bay get XSL templating back by installing
- the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` package available from
- http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.xslt/ (also available in the index
- at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple). All existing code that
- depended upon the ``xslt`` module prior to this release of
- ``repoze.bfg`` should work without modification after this addon is
- installed.
-
-- Removed the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer``
- interface and the an old b/w compat aliases from that interface to
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate``. This interface must now be
- imported from the ``repoze.bfg.xslt.interfaces`` package after
- installation of the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` addon package described
- above as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer``. This
- interface was never part of any public API.
-
-Other backwards incompatibilities:
-
-- The ``render_template`` function in ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt``
- returns Unicode instead of a string. Likewise, the individual
- values returned by the iterable created by the
- ``render_template_to_iterable`` function are also each Unicode.
- This is actually a backwards incompatibility inherited from our new
- use of the combination of ``chameleon.core`` 1.0b32 (the
- non-lxml-depending version) and ``chameleon.zpt`` 1.0b16+ ; the
- ``chameleon.zpt`` PageTemplateFile implementation used to return a
- string, but now returns Unicode.
-
-0.7.1 (2009-05-01)
-==================
-
-Index-Related
--------------
-
-- The canonical package index location for ``repoze.bfg`` has changed.
- The "old" index (http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/simple) has
- been superseded by a new index location
- (`http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple
- <http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple>`_). The installation
- documentation has been updated as well as the ``setup.cfg`` file in
- this package. The "lemonade" index still exists, but it is not
- guaranteed to have the latest BFG software in it, nor will it be
- maintained in the future.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The "paster create" templates have been modified to use links to the
- new "bfg.repoze.org" and "docs.repoze.org" websites.
-
-- Added better documentation for virtual hosting at a URL prefix
- within the virtual hosting docs chapter.
-
-- The interface for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` and the
- built-in implementations that implement the interface
- (``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser``, and
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``) now expect the
- ``__call__`` method of an ITraverser to return 3 additional
- arguments: ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
- ``virtual_root_path`` (the old contract was that the ``__call__``
- method of an ITraverser returned; three arguments, the contract new
- is that it returns six). ``traversed`` will be a sequence of
- Unicode names that were traversed (including the virtual root path,
- if any) or ``None`` if no traversal was performed, ``virtual_root``
- will be a model object representing the virtual root (or the
- physical root if traversal was not performed), and
- ``virtual_root_path`` will be a sequence representing the virtual
- root path (a sequence of Unicode names) or ``None`` if traversal was
- not performed.
-
- Six arguments are now returned from BFG ITraversers. They are
- returned in this order: ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``,
- ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and ``virtual_root_path``.
-
- Places in the BFG code which called an ITraverser continue to accept
- a 3-argument return value, although BFG will generate and log a
- warning when one is encountered.
-
-- The request object now has the following attributes: ``traversed``
- (the sequence of names traversed or ``None`` if traversal was not
- performed), ``virtual_root`` (the model object representing the
- virtual root, including the virtual root path if any), and
- ``virtual_root_path`` (the seuquence of names representing the
- virtual root path or ``None`` if traversal was not performed).
-
-- A new decorator named ``wsgiapp2`` was added to the
- ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module. This decorator performs the same
- function as ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` except it fixes up the
- ``SCRIPT_NAME``, and ``PATH_INFO`` environment values before
- invoking the WSGI subapplication.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyRequest`` object now has default
- attributes for ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
- ``virtual_root_path``.
-
-- The RoutesModelTraverser now behaves more like the Routes
- "RoutesMiddleware" object when an element in the match dict is named
- ``path_info`` (usually when there's a pattern like
- ``http://foo/*path_info``). When this is the case, the
- ``PATH_INFO`` environment variable is set to the value in the match
- dict, and the ``SCRIPT_NAME`` is appended to with the prefix of the
- original ``PATH_INFO`` not including the value of the new variable.
-
-- The notfound debug now shows the traversed path, the virtual root,
- and the virtual root path too.
-
-- Speed up / clarify 'traversal' module's 'model_path', 'model_path_tuple',
- and '_model_path_list' functions.
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- In previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` functions always ignored
- the ``__name__`` argument of the root object in a model graph (
- effectively replacing it with a leading ``/`` in the returned value)
- when a path or URL was generated. The code required to perform this
- operation was not efficient. As of this release, the root object in
- a model graph *must* have a ``__name__`` attribute that is either
- ``None`` or the empty string (``''``) for URLs and paths to be
- generated properly from these APIs. If your root model object has a
- ``__name__`` argument that is not one of these values, you will need
- to change your code for URLs and paths to be generated properly. If
- your model graph has a root node with a string ``__name__`` that is
- not null, the value of ``__name__`` will be prepended to every path
- and URL generated.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.location.LocationProxy`` class and the
- ``repoze.bfg.location.ClassAndInstanceDescr`` class have both been
- removed in order to be able to eventually shed a dependency on
- ``zope.proxy``. Neither of these classes was ever an API.
-
-- In all previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.location.locate``
- function worked like so: if a model did not explicitly provide the
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, ``locate`` returned a
- ``LocationProxy`` object representing ``model`` with its
- ``__parent__`` attribute assigned to ``parent`` and a ``__name__``
- attribute assigned to ``__name__``. In this release, the
- ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` function simply jams the ``__name__``
- and ``__parent__`` attributes on to the supplied model
- unconditionally, no matter if the object implements ILocation or
- not, and it never returns a proxy. This was done because the
- LocationProxy behavior has now moved into an add-on package
- (``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper``), in order to eventually be able to
- shed a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
-
-- In all previous releases, by default, if traversal was used (as
- opposed to URL-dispatch), and the root object supplied
- the``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, but the children
- returned via its ``__getitem__`` returned an object that did not
- implement the same interface, ``repoze.bfg`` provided some
- implicit help during traversal. This traversal feature wrapped
- subobjects from the root (and thereafter) that did not implement
- ``ILocation`` in proxies which automatically provided them with a
- ``__name__`` and ``__parent__`` attribute based on the name being
- traversed and the previous object traversed. This feature has now
- been removed from the base ``repoze.bfg`` package for purposes of
- eventually shedding a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
-
- In order to re-enable the wrapper behavior for older applications
- which cannot be changed, register the "traversalwrapper"
- ``ModelGraphTraverser`` as the traversal policy, rather than the
- default ``ModelGraphTraverser``. To use this feature, you will need
- to install the ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` package (an add-on
- package, available at
- http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper) Then change your
- application's ``configure.zcml`` to include the following stanza:
-
- <adapter
- factory="repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper.ModelGraphTraverser"
- provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverserFactory"
- for="*"
- />
-
- When this ITraverserFactory is used instead of the default, no
- object in the graph (even the root object) must supply a
- ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` attribute. Even if subobjects
- returned from the root *do* implement the ILocation interface,
- these will still be wrapped in proxies that override the object's
- "real" ``__parent__`` and ``__name__`` attributes.
-
- See also changes to the "Models" chapter of the documentation (in
- the "Location-Aware Model Instances") section.
-
-0.7.0 (2009-04-11)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``: the content length
- was returned as an int rather than as a string.
-
-- Add explicit dependencies on ``zope.deferredimport``,
- ``zope.deprecation``, and ``zope.proxy`` for forward compatibility
- reasons (``zope.component`` will stop relying on
- ``zope.deferredimport`` soon and although we use it directly, it's
- only a transitive dependency, and ''zope.deprecation`` and
- ``zope.proxy`` are used directly even though they're only transitive
- dependencies as well).
-
-- Using ``model_url`` or ``model_path`` against a broken model graph
- (one with models that had a non-root model with a ``__name__`` of
- ``None``) caused an inscrutable error to be thrown: ( if not
- ``_must_quote[cachekey].search(s): TypeError: expected string or
- buffer``). Now URLs and paths generated against graphs that have
- None names in intermediate nodes will replace the None with the
- empty string, and, as a result, the error won't be raised. Of
- course the URL or path will still be bogus.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to have ``testing.DummyTemplateRenderer`` return
- some nondefault string representation.
-
-- Added a new ``anchor`` keyword argument to ``model_url``. If
- ``anchor`` is present, its string representation will be used
- as a named anchor in the generated URL (e.g. if ``anchor`` is
- passed as ``foo`` and the model URL is
- ``http://example.com/model/url``, the generated URL will be
- ``http://example.com/model/url#foo``).
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The default request charset encoding is now ``utf-8``. As a result,
- the request machinery will attempt to decode values from the utf-8
- encoding to Unicode automatically when they are obtained via
- ``request.params``, ``request.GET``, and ``request.POST``. The
- previous behavior of BFG was to return a bytestring when a value was
- accessed in this manner. This change will break form handling code
- in apps that rely on values from those APIs being considered
- bytestrings. If you are manually decoding values from form
- submissions in your application, you'll either need to change the
- code that does that to expect Unicode values from
- ``request.params``, ``request.GET`` and ``request.POST``, or you'll
- need to explicitly reenable the previous behavior. To reenable the
- previous behavior, add the following to your application's
- ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewRequest"
- handler="repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii"/>
-
- See also the documentation in the "Views" chapter of the BFG docs
- entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and
- Character Set Issues)".
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add a section to the narrative Views chapter entitled "Using Views
- to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and Character Set Issues)"
- explaining implicit decoding of form data values.
-
-0.6.9 (2009-02-16)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- lru cache was unstable under concurrency (big surprise!) when it
- tried to redelete a key in the cache that had already been deleted.
- Symptom: line 64 in put:del data[oldkey]:KeyError: '/some/path'.
- Now we just ignore the key error if we can't delete the key (it has
- already been deleted).
-
-- Empty location names in model paths when generating a URL using
- ``repoze.bfg.model_url`` based on a model obtained via traversal are
- no longer ignored in the generated URL. This means that if a
- non-root model object has a ``__name__`` of ``''``, the URL will
- reflect it (e.g. ``model_url`` will generate ``http://foo/bar//baz``
- if an object with the ``__name__`` of ``''`` is a child of bar and
- the parent of baz). URLs generated with empty path segments are,
- however, still irresolveable by the model graph traverser on request
- ingress (the traverser strips empty path segment names).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Microspeedups of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple``,
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment``, and
- ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``.
-
-- add zip_safe = false to setup.cfg.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Add a note to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API
- docs about caching of computed values.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Simplification of
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.TraversalContextURL.__call__`` (it now uses
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` instead of rolling its own
- path-generation).
-
-0.6.8 (2009-02-05)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` API now returns a *quoted*
- string rather than a string represented by series of unquoted
- elements joined via ``/`` characters. Previously it returned a
- string or unicode object representing the model path, with each
- segment name in the path joined together via ``/`` characters,
- e.g. ``/foo /bar``. Now it returns a string, where each segment is
- a UTF-8 encoded and URL-quoted element e.g. ``/foo%20/bar``. This
- change was (as discussed briefly on the repoze-dev maillist)
- necessary to accomodate model objects which themselves have
- ``__name__`` attributes that contain the ``/`` character.
-
- For people that have no models that have high-order Unicode
- ``__name__`` attributes or ``__name__`` attributes with values that
- require URL-quoting with in their model graphs, this won't cause any
- issue. However, if you have code that currently expects
- ``model_path`` to return an unquoted string, or you have an existing
- application with data generated via the old method, and you're too
- lazy to change anything, you may wish replace the BFG-imported
- ``model_path`` in your code with this function (this is the code of
- the "old" ``model_path`` implementation)::
-
- from repoze.bfg.location import lineage
-
- def i_am_too_lazy_to_move_to_the_new_model_path(model, *elements):
- rpath = []
- for location in lineage(model):
- if location.__name__:
- rpath.append(location.__name__)
- path = '/' + '/'.join(reversed(rpath))
- if elements:
- suffix = '/'.join(elements)
- path = '/'.join([path, suffix])
- return path
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API no longer implicitly
- converts unicode representations of a full path passed to it as a
- Unicode object into a UTF-8 string. Callers should either use
- prequoted path strings returned by
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``, or tuple values returned by the
- result of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` or they should
- use the guidelines about passing a string ``path`` argument
- described in the ``find_model`` API documentation.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Each argument contained in ``elements`` passed to
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` will now have any ``/``
- characters contained within quoted to ``%2F`` in the returned
- string. Previously, ``/`` characters in elements were left unquoted
- (a bug).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` API was added. This API
- is an alternative to ``model_path`` (which returns a string);
- ``model_path_tuple`` returns a model path as a tuple (much like
- Zope's ``getPhysicalPath``).
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API was added. This
- API will quote an individual path segment (string or unicode
- object). See the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` API documentation for
- more information.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API now accepts "path
- tuples" (see the above note regarding ``model_path_tuple``) as well
- as string path representations (from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``) as a ``path`` argument.
-
-- Add ` `renderer`` argument (defaulting to None) to
- ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer``. This makes it
- possible, for instance, to register a custom renderer that raises an
- exception in a unit test.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Moved _url_quote function back to ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` from
- ``repoze.bfg.url``. This is not an API.
-
-0.6.7 (2009-01-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API now works against contexts
- derived from Routes URL dispatch (``Routes.util.url_for`` is called
- under the hood).
-
-- "Virtual root" support for traversal-based applications has been
- added. Virtual root support is useful when you'd like to host some
- model in a ``repoze.bfg`` model graph as an application under a
- URL pathname that does not include the model path itself. For more
- information, see the (new) "Virtual Hosting" chapter in the
- documentation.
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root`` API has been added. When
- called, it returns the virtual root object (or the physical root
- object if no virtual root has been specified).
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` has been moved to
- ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``.
-
-- ``model_url`` URL generation is now performed via an adapter lookup
- based on the context and the request.
-
-- ZCML which registers two adapters for the ``IContextURL`` interface
- has been added to the configure.zcml in ``repoze.bfg.includes``.
-
-0.6.6 (2009-01-26)
-==================
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- There is an indirection in ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` now that
- consults a utility to generate the base model url (without extra
- elements or a query string). Eventually this will service virtual
- hosting; for now it's undocumented and should not be hooked.
-
-0.6.5 (2009-01-26)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- You can now override the NotFound and Unauthorized responses that
- ``repoze.bfg`` generates when a view cannot be found or cannot be
- invoked due to lack of permission. See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter in
- the docs for more information.
-
-- Added Routes ZCML directive attribute explanations in documentation.
-
-- Added a ``traversal_path`` API to the traversal module; see the
- "traversal" API chapter in the docs. This was a function previously
- known as ``split_path`` that was not an API but people were using it
- anyway. Unlike ``split_path``, it now returns a tuple instead of a
- list (as its values are cached).
-
-Behavior Changes
-----------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response`` API will no longer
- raise a ValueError if an object returned by a view function it calls
- does not possess certain attributes (``headerlist``, ``app_iter``,
- ``status``). This API used to attempt to perform a check using the
- ``is_response`` function in ``repoze.bfg.view``, and raised a
- ``ValueError`` if the ``is_response`` check failed. The
- responsibility is now the caller's to ensure that the return value
- from a view function is a "real" response.
-
-- WSGI environ dicts passed to ``repoze.bfg`` 's Router must now
- contain a REQUEST_METHOD key/value; if they do not, a KeyError will
- be raised (speed).
-
-- It is no longer permissible to pass a "nested" list of principals to
- ``repoze.bfg.ACLAuthorizer.permits`` (e.g. ``['fred', ['larry',
- 'bob']]``). The principals list must be fully expanded. This
- feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a
- backwards incompatibility.
-
-- It is no longer permissible for a security ACE to contain a "nested"
- list of permissions (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', ['view',
- ['write', 'manage']]])`)`. The list must instead be fully expanded
- (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', 'view', 'write', 'manage])``). This
- feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a
- backwards incompatibility.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesRootFactory`` now injects the
- ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` environment variable into the environ when
- a route matches. This is a tuple of ((), routing_args) where
- routing_args is the value that comes back from the routes mapper
- match (the "match dict").
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` class now wants to
- obtain the ``view_name`` and ``subpath`` from the
- ``wsgiorgs.routing_args`` environment variable. It falls back to
- obtaining these from the context for backwards compatibility.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAuthorizer``: the
- ``ACLSecurityPolicy`` now does what it did inline.
-
-- Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.NoAuthorizationInformation``
- exception: it was used only by ``ACLAuthorizer``.
-
-- Use a homegrown NotFound error instead of ``webob.exc.HTTPNotFound``
- (the latter is slow).
-
-- Use a homegrown Unauthorized error instead of
- ``webob.exc.Unauthorized`` (the latter is slow).
-
-- the ``repoze.bfg.lru.lru_cached`` decorator now uses functools.wraps
- in order to make documentation of LRU-cached functions possible.
-
-- Various speed micro-tweaks.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` did not have a ``get`` method;
- it now does.
-
-0.6.4 (2009-01-23)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration variable and the
- ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variable have been
- removed. Path segments are now always passed to model
- ``__getitem__`` methods as unicode. "True" has been the default for
- this setting since 0.5.4, but changing this configuration setting to
- false allowed you to go back to passing raw path element strings to
- model ``__getitem__`` methods. Removal of this knob services a
- speed goal (we get about +80 req/s by removing the check), and it's
- clearer just to always expect unicode path segments in model
- ``__getitem__`` methods.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` now also handles decoding
- path segments to unicode (for speed, because its results are
- cached).
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.step`` was made a method of the
- ModelGraphTraverser.
-
-- Use "precooked" Request subclasses
- (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.request.GETRequest``) that correspond to HTTP
- request methods within ``router.py`` when constructing a request
- object rather than using ``alsoProvides`` to attach the proper
- interface to an unsubclassed ``webob.Request``. This pattern is
- purely an optimization (e.g. preventing calls to ``alsoProvides``
- means the difference between 590 r/s and 690 r/s on a MacBook 2GHz).
-
-- Tease out an extra 4% performance boost by changing the Router;
- instead of using imported ZCA APIs, use the same APIs directly
- against the registry that is an attribute of the Router.
-
-- The registry used by BFG is now a subclass of
- ``zope.component.registry.Components`` (defined as
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry``); it has a ``notify`` method, a
- ``registerSubscriptionAdapter`` and a ``registerHandler`` method.
- If no subscribers are registered via ``registerHandler`` or
- ``registerSubscriptionAdapter``, ``notify`` is a noop for speed.
-
-- The Allowed and Denied classes in ``repoze.bfg.security`` now are
- lazier about constructing the representation of a reason message for
- speed; ``repoze.bfg.view_execution_permitted`` takes advantage of
- this.
-
-- The ``is_response`` check was sped up by about half at the expense
- of making its code slightly uglier.
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.lru`` implements an LRU cache class and a decorator for
- internal use.
-
-0.6.3 (2009-01-19)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Readd ``root_policy`` attribute on Router object (as a property
- which returns the IRootFactory utility). It was inadvertently
- removed in 0.6.2. Code in the wild depended upon its presence
- (esp. scripts and "debug" helpers).
-
-Features
---------
-
-- URL-dispatch has been overhauled: it is no longer necessary to
- manually create a RoutesMapper in your application's entry point
- callable in order to use URL-dispatch (aka `Routes
- <http://routes.groovie.org>`_). A new ``route`` directive has been
- added to the available list of ZCML directives. Each ``route``
- directive inserted into your application's ``configure.zcml``
- establishes a Routes mapper connection. If any ``route``
- declarations are made via ZCML within a particular application, the
- ``get_root`` callable passed in to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``
- will automatically be wrapped in the equivalent of a RoutesMapper.
- Additionally, the new ``route`` directive allows the specification
- of a ``context_interfaces`` attribute for a route, this will be used
- to tag the manufactured routes context with specific interfaces when
- a route specifying a ``context_interfaces`` attribute is matched.
-
-- A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextNotFound`` was
- added. This interface is attached to a "dummy" context generated
- when Routes cannot find a match and there is no "fallback" get_root
- callable that uses traversal.
-
-- The ``bfg_starter`` and ``bfg_zodb`` "paster create" templates now
- contain images and CSS which are displayed when the default page is
- displayed after initial project generation.
-
-- Allow the ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper to be passed a relative
- ``root_path`` name; it will be considered relative to the file in
- which it was called.
-
-- The functionality of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` has been merged into
- the core. Applications which make use of ``repoze.bfg.convention``
- will continue to work indefinitely, but it is recommended that apps
- stop depending upon it. To do so, substitute imports of
- ``repoze.bfg.convention.bfg_view`` with imports of
- ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``, and change the stanza in ZCML from
- ``<convention package=".">`` to ``<scan package=".">``. As a result
- of the merge, bfg has grown a new dependency: ``martian``.
-
-- View functions which use the pushpage decorator are now pickleable
- (meaning their use won't prevent a ``configure.zcml.cache`` file
- from being written to disk).
-
-- Instead of invariably using ``webob.Request`` as the "request
- factory" (e.g. in the ``Router`` class) and ``webob.Response`` and
- the "response factory" (e.g. in ``render_template_to_response``),
- allow both to be overridden via a ZCML utility hook. See the "Using
- ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation for more information.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The class ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` has been renamed
- to ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``. The class
- should be imported by the new name as necessary (although in reality
- it probably shouldn't be imported from anywhere except internally
- within BFG, as it's not part of the API).
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` decorator now uses
- ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on
- homegrown WSGI code.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper now uses
- ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on
- homegrown WSGI code.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` class has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry`` function was renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.populateRegistry`` and now accepts a
- ``registry`` argument (which should be an instance of
- ``zope.component.registry.Components``).
-
-Documentation Additions
------------------------
-
-- Updated narrative urldispatch chapter with changes required by
- ``<route..>`` ZCML directive.
-
-- Add a section on "Using BFG Security With URL Dispatch" into the
- urldispatch chapter of the documentation.
-
-- Better documentation of security policy implementations that ship
- with repoze.bfg.
-
-- Added a "Using ZPT Macros in repoze.bfg" section to the narrative
- templating chapter.
-
-0.6.2 (2009-01-13)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Tests can be run with coverage output if you've got ``nose``
- installed in the interpreter which you use to run tests. Using an
- interpreter with ``nose`` installed, do ``python setup.py
- nosetests`` within a checkout of the ``repoze.bfg`` package to see
- test coverage output.
-
-- Added a ``post`` argument to the ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyRequest``
- constructor.
-
-- Added ``__len__`` and ``__nonzero__`` to ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyModel``.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` callable (now renamed to
- ``repoze.bfg.setings.get_options``) used to return only
- framework-specific keys and values in the dictionary it returned.
- It now returns all the keys and values in the dictionary it is
- passed *plus* any framework-specific settings culled from the
- environment. As a side effect, all PasteDeploy application-specific
- config file settings are made available as attributes of the
- ``ISettings`` utility from within BFG.
-
-- Renamed the existing BFG paster template to ``bfg_starter``. Added
- another template (``bfg_zodb``) showing default ZODB setup using
- ``repoze.zodbconn``.
-
-- Add a method named ``assert_`` to the DummyTemplateRenderer. This
- method accepts keyword arguments. Each key/value pair in the
- keyword arguments causes an assertion to be made that the renderer
- received this key with a value equal to the asserted value.
-
-- Projects generated by the paster templates now use the
- ``DummyTemplateRenderer.assert_`` method in their view tests.
-
-- Make the (internal) thread local registry manager maintain a stack
- of registries in order to make it possible to call one BFG
- application from inside another.
-
-- An interface specific to the HTTP verb (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) is
- attached to each request object on ingress. The HTTP-verb-related
- interfaces are defined in ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` and are
- ``IGETRequest``, ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``,
- ``IDELETERequest`` and ``IHEADRequest``. These interfaces can be
- specified as the ``request_type`` attribute of a bfg view
- declaration. A view naming a specific HTTP-verb-matching interface
- will be found only if the view is defined with a request_type that
- matches the HTTP verb in the incoming request. The more general
- ``IRequest`` interface can be used as the request_type to catch all
- requests (and this is indeed the default). All requests implement
- ``IRequest``. The HTTP-verb-matching idea was pioneered by
- `repoze.bfg.restrequest
- <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.bfg.restrequest/1.0.1>`_ . That
- package is no longer required, but still functions fine.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Fix a bug where the Paste configuration's ``unicode_path_segments``
- (and os.environ's ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS``) may have been
- defaulting to false in some circumstances. It now always defaults
- to true, matching the documentation and intent.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API did not work properly
- when passed a ``path`` argument which was unicode and contained
- high-order bytes when the ``unicode_path_segments`` or
- ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variables were "true".
-
-- A new module was added: ``repoze.bfg.settings``. This contains
- deployment-settings-related code.
-
-Implementation Changes
-----------------------
-
-- The ``make_app`` callable within ``repoze.bfg.router`` now registers
- the ``root_policy`` argument as a utility (unnamed, using the new
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` as a provides interface)
- rather than passing it as the first argument to the
- ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class. As a result, the
- ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` router class only accepts a single
- argument: ``registry``. The ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class
- retrieves the root policy via a utility lookup now. The
- ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` API also now performs some important
- application registrations that were previously handled inside
- ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry``.
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.settings`` module was added. It contains code
- related to deployment settings. Most of the code it contains was
- moved to it from the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` module.
-
-Behavior Changes
-----------------
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings`` class (an instance of which is
- registered as a utility providing
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISettings`` when any application is started)
- now automatically calls ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options`` on the
- options passed to its constructor. This means that usage of
- ``get_options`` within an application's ``make_app`` function is no
- longer required (the "raw" ``options`` dict or None may be passed).
-
-- Remove old cold which attempts to recover from trying to unpickle a
- ``z3c.pt`` template; Chameleon has been the templating engine for a
- good long time now. Running repoze.bfg against a sandbox that has
- pickled ``z3c.pt`` templates it will now just fail with an
- unpickling error, but can be fixed by deleting the template cache
- files.

-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Settings`` class. This has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings``. A deprecation warning is
- issued when it is imported from the older location.
-
-- Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` function This has been
- moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options``. A deprecation warning
- is issued when it is imported from the older location.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` interface was renamed
- within the interfaces package. It has been renamed to
- ``IRootFactory``. A deprecation warning is issued when it is
- imported from the older location.
-
-0.6.1 (2009-01-06)
-==================
-
-New Modules
------------
-
-- A new module ``repoze.bfg.url`` has been added. It contains the
- ``model_url`` API (moved from ``repoze.bfg.traversal``) and an
- implementation of ``urlencode`` (like Python's
- ``urllib.urlencode``) which can handle Unicode keys and values in
- parameters to the ``query`` argument.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The ``model_url`` function has been moved from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` into ``repoze.bfg.url``. It can still
- be imported from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` but an import from
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will emit a DeprecationWarning.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``static`` helper class was added to the ``repoze.bfg.views``
- module. Instances of this class are willing to act as BFG views
- which return static resources using files on disk. See the
- ``repoze.bfg.view`` docs for more info.
-
-- The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API (nee'
- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url``) now accepts and honors a
- keyword argument named ``query``. The value of this argument
- will be used to compose a query string, which will be attached to
- the generated URL before it is returned. See the API docs (in
- the docs directory or `on the web
- <http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs>`_) for more information.
-
-0.6 (2008-12-26)
-================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Rather than prepare the "stock" implementations of the ZCML directives
- from the ``zope.configuration`` package for use under ``repoze.bfg``,
- ``repoze.bfg`` now makes available the implementations of directives
- from the ``repoze.zcml`` package (see http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs).
- As a result, the ``repoze.bfg`` package now depends on the
- ``repoze.zcml`` package, and no longer depends directly on the
- ``zope.component``, ``zope.configuration``, ``zope.interface``, or
- ``zope.proxy`` packages.
-
- The primary reason for this change is to enable us to eventually reduce
- the number of inappropriate ``repoze.bfg`` Zope package dependencies,
- as well as to shed features of dependent package directives that don't
- make sense for ``repoze.bfg``.
-
- Note that currently the set of requirements necessary to use bfg has not
- changed. This is due to inappropriate Zope package requirements in
- ``chameleon.zpt``, which will hopefully be remedied soon. NOTE: in
- lemonade index a 1.0b8-repozezcml0 package exists which does away with
- these requirements.
-
-- BFG applications written prior to this release which expect the "stock"
- ``zope.component`` ZCML directive implementations (e.g. ``adapter``,
- ``subscriber``, or ``utility``) to function now must either 1) include
- the ``meta.zcml`` file from ``zope.component`` manually (e.g. ``<include
- package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">``) and include the
- ``zope.security`` package as an ``install_requires`` dependency or 2)
- change the ZCML in their applications to use the declarations from
- `repoze.zcml <http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs/>`_ instead of the stock
- declarations. ``repoze.zcml`` only makes available the ``adapter``,
- ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives.
-
- In short, if you've got an existing BFG application, after this
- update, if your application won't start due to an import error for
- "zope.security", the fastest way to get it working again is to add
- ``zope.security`` to the "install_requires" of your BFG
- application's ``setup.py``, then add the following ZCML anywhere
- in your application's ``configure.zcml``::
-
- <include package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">
-
- Then re-``setup.py develop`` or reinstall your application.
-
-- The ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` XML namespace is now the default
- XML namespace in ZCML for paster-generated applications. The docs have
- been updated to reflect this.
-
-- The copies of BFG's ``meta.zcml`` and ``configure.zcml`` were removed
- from the root of the ``repoze.bfg`` package. In 0.3.6, a new package
- named ``repoze.bfg.includes`` was added, which contains the "correct"
- copies of these ZCML files; the ones that were removed were for backwards
- compatibility purposes.
-
-- The BFG ``view`` ZCML directive no longer calls
- ``zope.component.interface.provideInterface`` for the ``for`` interface.
- We don't support ``provideInterface`` in BFG because it mutates the
- global registry.
-
-Other
------
-
-- The minimum requirement for ``chameleon.core`` is now 1.0b13. The
- minimum requirement for ``chameleon.zpt`` is now 1.0b8. The minimum
- requirement for ``chameleon.genshi`` is now 1.0b2.
-
-- Updated paster template "ez_setup.py" to one that requires setuptools
- 0.6c9.
-
-- Turn ``view_execution_permitted`` from the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module
- into a documented API.
-
-- Doc cleanups.
-
-- Documented how to create a view capable of serving static resources.
-
-0.5.6 (2008-12-18)
-==================
-
-- Speed up ``traversal.model_url`` execution by using a custom url quoting
- function instead of Python's ``urllib.quote``, by caching URL path
- segment quoting and encoding results, by disusing Python's
- ``urlparse.urljoin`` in favor of a simple string concatenation, and by
- using ``ob.__class__ is unicode`` rather than ``isinstance(ob, unicode)``
- in one strategic place.
-
-0.5.5 (2008-12-17)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- In the past, during traversal, the ModelGraphTraverser (the default
- traverser) always passed each URL path segment to any ``__getitem__``
- method of a model object as a byte string (a ``str`` object). Now, by
- default the ModelGraphTraverser attempts to decode the path segment to
- Unicode (a ``unicode`` object) using the UTF-8 encoding before passing it
- to the ``__getitem__`` method of a model object. This makes it possible
- for model objects to be dumber in ``__getitem__`` when trying to resolve
- a subobject, as model objects themselves no longer need to try to divine
- whether or not to try to decode the path segment passed by the
- traverser.
-
- Note that since 0.5.4, URLs generated by repoze.bfg's ``model_url`` API
- will contain UTF-8 encoded path segments as necessary, so any URL
- generated by BFG itself will be decodeable by the traverser. If another
- application generates URLs to a BFG application, to be resolved
- successully, it should generate the URL with UTF-8 encoded path segments
- to be successfully resolved. The decoder is not at all magical: if a
- non-UTF-8-decodeable path segment (e.g. one encoded using UTF-16 or some
- other insanity) is passed in the URL, BFG will raise a ``TypeError`` with
- a message indicating it could not decode the path segment.
-
- To turn on the older behavior, where path segments were not decoded to
- Unicode before being passed to model object ``__getitem__`` by the
- traverser, and were passed as a raw byte string, set the
- ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration setting to a false value in your
- BFG application's section of the paste .ini file, for example::
-
- unicode_path_segments = False
-
- Or start the application using the ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENT`` envvar
- set to a false value::
-
- BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS=0
-
-0.5.4 (2008-12-13)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- URL-quote "extra" element names passed in as ``**elements`` to the
- ``traversal.model_url`` API. If any of these names is a Unicode string,
- encode it to UTF-8 before URL-quoting. This is a slight backwards
- incompatibility that will impact you if you were already UTF-8 encoding
- or URL-quoting the values you passed in as ``elements`` to this API.
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- UTF-8 encode each segment in the model path used to generate a URL before
- url-quoting it within the ``traversal.model_url`` API. This is a bugfix,
- as Unicode cannot always be successfully URL-quoted.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Make it possible to run unit tests using a buildout-generated Python
- "interpreter".
-
-- Add ``request.root`` to ``router.Router`` in order to have easy access to
- the application root.
-
-0.5.3 (2008-12-07)
-==================
-
-- Remove the ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` interface. When
- ``testing.registerDummyRenderer`` is used, it instead registers a dummy
- implementation using ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface, which is checked
- for when the built-in templating facilities do rendering. This change
- also allows developers to make explcit named utility registrations in
- the ZCML registry against ``ITemplateRenderer``; these will be found
- before any on-disk template is looked up.
-
-0.5.2 (2008-12-05)
-==================
-
-- The component registration handler for views (functions or class
- instances) now observes component adaptation annotations (see
- ``zope.component.adaptedBy``) and uses them before the fallback values
- for ``for_`` and ``request_type``. This change does not affect existing
- code insomuch as the code does not rely on these defaults when an
- annotation is set on the view (unlikely). This means that for a
- new-style class you can do ``zope.component.adapts(ISomeContext,
- ISomeRequest)`` at class scope or at module scope as a decorator to a
- bfg view function you can do ``@zope.component.adapter(ISomeContext,
- ISomeRequest)``. This differs from r.bfg.convention inasmuch as you
- still need to put something in ZCML for the registrations to get done;
- it's only the defaults that will change if these declarations exist.
-
-- Strip all slashes from end and beginning of path in clean_path within
- traversal machinery.
-
-0.5.1 (2008-11-25)
-==================
-
-- Add ``keys``, ``items``, and ``values`` methods to
- ``testing.DummyModel``.
-
-- Add __delitem__ method to ``testing.DummyModel``.
-
-0.5.0 (2008-11-18)
-==================
-
-- Fix ModelGraphTraverser; don't try to change the ``__name__`` or
- ``__parent__`` of an object that claims it implements ILocation during
- traversal even if the ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` of the object
- traversed does not match the name used in the traversal step or the or
- the traversal parent . Rationale: it was insane to do so. This bug was
- only found due to a misconfiguration in an application that mistakenly
- had intermediate persistent non-ILocation objects; traversal was causing
- a persistent write on every request under this setup.
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` now unconditionally sets ``__name__`` and
- ``__parent__`` on objects which provide ILocation (it previously only set
- them conditionally if they didn't match attributes already present on the
- object via equality).
-
-0.4.9 (2008-11-17)
-==================
-
-- Add chameleon text template API (chameleon ${name} renderings where the
- template does not need to be wrapped in any containing XML).
-
-- Change docs to explain install in terms of a virtualenv
- (unconditionally).
-
-- Make pushpage decorator compatible with repoze.bfg.convention's
- ``bfg_view`` decorator when they're stacked.
-
-- Add content_length attribute to testing.DummyRequest.
-
-- Change paster template ``tests.py`` to include a true unit test. Retain
- old test as an integration test. Update documentation.
-
-- Document view registrations against classes and ``repoze.bfg.convention``
- in context.
-
-- Change the default paster template to register its single view against a
- class rather than an interface.
-
-- Document adding a request type interface to the request via a subscriber
- function in the events narrative documentation.
-
-0.4.8 (2008-11-12)
-==================
-
-Backwards Incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url`` now always appends a slash to all
- generated URLs unless further elements are passed in as the third and
- following arguments. Rationale: views often use ``model_url`` without
- the third-and-following arguments in order to generate a URL for a model
- in order to point at the default view of a model. The URL that points to
- the default view of the *root* model is technically ``http://mysite/`` as
- opposed to ``http://mysite`` (browsers happen to ask for '/' implicitly
- in the GET request). Because URLs are never automatically generated for
- anything *except* models by ``model_url``, and because the root model is
- not really special, we continue this pattern. The impact of this change
- is minimal (at most you will have too many slashes in your URL, which BFG
- deals with gracefully anyway).
-
-0.4.7 (2008-11-11)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Allow ``testing.registerEventListener`` to be used with Zope 3 style
- "object events" (subscribers accept more than a single event argument).
- We extend the list with the arguments, rather than append.
-
-0.4.6 (2008-11-10)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The ``model_path`` and ``model_url`` traversal APIs returned the wrong
- value for the root object (e.g. ``model_path`` returned ``''`` for the
- root object, while it should have been returning ``'/'``).
-
-0.4.5 (2008-11-09)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``clone`` method and a ``__contains__`` method to the DummyModel
- testing object.
-
-- Allow DummyModel objects to receive extra keyword arguments, which will
- be attached as attributes.
-
-- The DummyTemplateRenderer now returns ``self`` as its implementation.
-
-0.4.4 (2008-11-08)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Added a ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module to attempt to make it slightly
- easier to write unittest-based automated tests of BFG applications.
- Information about this module is in the documentation.
-
-- The default template renderer now supports testing better by looking for
- ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` using a relative pathname. This is exposed
- indirectly through the API named ``registerTemplateRenderer`` in
- ``repoze.bfg.testing``.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- The names ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` ,
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate`` have been deprecated. These
- should now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` and
- ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory``, and
- ``INodeTemplateRenderer`` respectively.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` is deprecated.
- Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateRenderer``.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateFactory`` is
- deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateRenderer``.
-
-- The name ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use
- ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateRenderer``.
-
-0.4.3 (2008-11-02)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Not passing the result of "get_options" as the second argument of
- make_app could cause attribute errors when attempting to look up settings
- against the ISettings object (internal). Fixed by giving the Settings
- objects defaults for ``debug_authorization`` and ``debug_notfound``.
-
-- Return an instance of ``Allowed`` (rather than ``True``) from
- ``has_permission`` when no security policy is in use.
-
-- Fix bug where default deny in authorization check would throw a TypeError
- (use ``ACLDenied`` instead of ``Denied``).
-
-0.4.2 (2008-11-02)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Expose a single ILogger named "repoze.bfg.debug" as a utility; this
- logger is registered unconditionally and is used by the authorization
- debug machinery. Applications may also make use of it as necessary
- rather than inventing their own logger, for convenience.
-
-- The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization``
- config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security
- checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to
- ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug
- ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the
- debugger and print statements in your own code.
-
-- Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response
- body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true.
-
-- The format of authorization debug messages was improved.
-
-- A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric
- ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and
- a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could
- not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this
- value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain
- the same debugging information.
-
-- ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now
- specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The
- ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed``
- and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are
- ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The
- allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that
- themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type
- responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate
- equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two
- types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes.
-
-- Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config
- file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set
- true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and
- ``debug_authorization``).
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- Added info about debug flag changes.
-
-- Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative
- Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Change default paster template generator to use ``Paste#http`` server
- rather than ``PasteScript#cherrpy`` server. The cherrypy server has a
- security risk in it when ``REMOTE_USER`` is trusted by the downstream
- application.
-
-0.4.1 (2008-10-28)
-==================
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- If the ``render_view_to_response`` function was called, if the view was
- found and called, but it returned something that did not implement
- IResponse, the error would pass by unflagged. This was noticed when I
- created a view function that essentially returned None, but received a
- NotFound error rather than a ValueError when the view was rendered. This
- was fixed.
-
-0.4.0 (2008-10-03)
-==================
-
-Docs
-----
-
-- An "Environment and Configuration" chapter was added to the narrative
- portion of the documentation.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Ensure bfg doesn't generate warnings when running under Python
- 2.6.
-
-- The environment variable ``BFG_RELOAD_TEMPLATES`` is now available
- (serves the same purpose as ``reload_templates`` in the config file).
-
-- A new configuration file option ``debug_authorization`` was added.
- This turns on printing of security authorization debug statements
- to ``sys.stderr``. The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` environment
- variable was also added; this performs the same duty.
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- The environment variable ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` did not always work.
- It has been renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` and fixed.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from the
- ``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported.
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- The ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` environment variable was renamed to
- ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION``.
-
-0.3.9 (2008-08-27)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- A ``repoze.bfg.location`` API module was added.
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Applications must now use the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation``
- interface rather than ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` to
- represent that a model object is "location-aware". We've removed
- a dependency on ``zope.location`` for cleanliness purposes: as
- new versions of zope libraries are released which have improved
- dependency information, getting rid of our dependence on
- ``zope.location`` will prevent a newly installed repoze.bfg
- application from requiring the ``zope.security``, egg, which not
- truly used at all in a "stock" repoze.bfg setup. These
- dependencies are still required by the stack at this time; this
- is purely a futureproofing move.
-
- The security and model documentation for previous versions of
- ``repoze.bfg`` recommended using the
- ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` interface to represent
- that a model object is "location-aware". This documentation has
- been changed to reflect that this interface should now be
- imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` instead.
-
-0.3.8 (2008-08-26)
-==================
-
-Docs
-----
-
-- Documented URL dispatch better in narrative form.
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-- Routes URL dispatch did not have access to the WSGI environment,
- so conditions such as method=GET did not work.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``principals_allowed_by_permission`` API to security module.
-
-- Replace ``z3c.pt`` support with support for ``chameleon.zpt``.
- Chameleon is the new name for the package that used to be named
- ``z3c.pt``. NOTE: If you update a ``repoze.bfg`` SVN checkout
- that you're using for development, you will need to run "setup.py
- install" or "setup.py develop" again in order to obtain the
- proper Chameleon packages. ``z3c.pt`` is no longer supported by
- ``repoze.bfg``. All API functions that used to render ``z3c.pt``
- templates will work fine with the new packages, and your
- templates should render almost identically.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module. This module provides
- Chameleon ZPT support.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module. This module provides XSLT
- support.
-
-- Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module. This provides
- direct Genshi support, which did not exist previously.
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- Importing API functions directly from ``repoze.bfg.template`` is
- now deprecated. The ``get_template``, ``render_template``,
- ``render_template_to_response`` functions should now be imported
- from ``repoze.chameleon_zpt``. The ``render_transform``, and
- ``render_transform_to_response`` functions should now be imported
- from ``repoze.bfg.xslt``. The ``repoze.bfg.template`` module
- will remain around "forever" to support backwards compatibility.
-
-0.3.7 (2008-09-09)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add compatibility with z3c.pt 1.0a7+ (z3c.pt became a namespace package).
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-- ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` function did not function properly.
-
-0.3.6 (2008-09-04)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add startup process docs.
-
-- Allow configuration cache to be bypassed by actions which include special
- "uncacheable" discriminators (for actions that have variable results).
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- Move core repoze.bfg ZCML into a ``repoze.bfg.includes`` package so we
- can use repoze.bfg better as a namespace package. Adjust the code
- generator to use it. We've left around the ``configure.zcml`` in the
- repoze.bfg package directly so as not to break older apps.
-
-- When a zcml application registry cache was unpickled, and it contained a
- reference to an object that no longer existed (such as a view), bfg would
- not start properly.
-
-0.3.5 (2008-09-01)
-==================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Event notification is issued after application is created and configured
- (``IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent``).
-
-- New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functions
- named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable``,
- ``render_view`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API
- docs. These features aid programmatic (non-server-driven) view
- execution.
-
-0.3.4 (2008-08-28)
-==================
-
-Backwards incompatibilities
----------------------------
-
-- Make ``repoze.bfg`` a namespace package so we can allow folks to create
- subpackages (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.otherthing``) within separate eggs. This
- is a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to import
- "make_app" and "get_options" from the ``repoze.bfg`` module directly.
- This change will break all existing apps generated by the paster code
- generator. Instead, you need to import these functions as
- ``repoze.bfg.router:make_app`` and ``repoze.bfg.registry:get_options``,
- respectively. Sorry folks, it has to be done now or never, and
- definitely better now.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add ``model_path`` API function to traversal module.
-
-Bugfixes
-
-- Normalize path returned by repoze.bfg.caller_path.
-
-0.3.3 (2008-08-23)
-==================
-
-- Fix generated test.py module to use project name rather than package
- name.
-
-0.3.2 (2008-08-23)
-==================
-
-- Remove ``sampleapp`` sample application from bfg package itself.
-
-- Remove dependency on FormEncode (only needed by sampleapp).
-
-- Fix paster template generation so that case-sensitivity is preserved for
- project vs. package name.
-
-- Depend on ``z3c.pt`` version 1.0a1 (which requires the ``[lxml]`` extra
- currently).
-
-- Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored as
- ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to the applications's "normal"
- configuration file. A given bfg app will usually start faster if it's
- able to read the pickle data. It fails gracefully to reading the real
- ZCML file if it cannot read the pickle.
-
-0.3.1 (2008-08-20)
-==================
-
-- Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry point renamed to
- ``app`` in order to have a different name than the bfg function of the
- same name, to prevent confusion.
-
-- Add "options" processing to bfg's ``make_app`` to support runtime
- options. A new API function named ``get_options`` was added to the
- registry module. This function is typically used in an application's
- ``app`` entry point. The Paste config file section for the app can now
- supply the ``reload_templates`` option, which, if true, will prevent the
- need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template
- changes to be detected.
-
-- Use only the module name in generated project's "test_suite" (run all
- tests found in the package).
-
-- Default port for generated apps changed from 5432 to 6543 (Postgres
- default port is 6543).
-
-0.3.0 (2008-08-16)
-==================
-
-- Add ``get_template`` API to template module.
-
-0.2.9 (2008-08-11)
-==================
-
-- 0.2.8 was "brown bag" release. It didn't work at all. Symptom:
- ComponentLookupError when trying to render a page.
-
-0.2.8 (2008-08-11)
-==================
-
-- Add ``find_model`` and ``find_root`` traversal APIs. In the process,
- make ITraverser a uni-adapter (on context) rather than a multiadapter (on
- context and request).
-
-0.2.7 (2008-08-05)
-==================
-
-- Add a ``request_type`` attribute to the available attributes of a
- ``bfg:view`` configure.zcml element. This attribute will have a value
- which is a dotted Python path, pointing at an interface. If the request
- object implements this interface when the view lookup is performed, the
- appropriate view will be called. This is meant to allow for simple
- "skinning" of sites based on request type. An event subscriber should
- attach the interface to the request on ingress to support skins.
-
-- Remove "template only" views. These were just confusing and were never
- documented.
-
-- Small url dispatch overhaul: the ``connect`` method of the
- ``urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now accepts a keyword parameter named
- ``context_factory``. If this parameter is supplied, it must be a
- callable which returns an instance. This instance is used as the context
- for the request when a route is matched.
-
-- The registration of a RoutesModelTraverser no longer needs to be
- performed by the application; it's in the bfg ZCML now.
-
-0.2.6 (2008-07-31)
-==================
-
-- Add event sends for INewRequest and INewResponse. See the events.rst
- chapter in the documentation's ``api`` directory.
-
-0.2.5 (2008-07-28)
-==================
-
-- Add ``model_url`` API.
-
-0.2.4 (2008-07-27)
-==================
-
-- Added url-based dispatch.
-
-0.2.3 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add API functions for authenticated_userid and effective_principals.
-
-0.2.2 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add authenticated_userid and effective_principals API to security
- policy.
-
-0.2.1 (2008-07-20)
-==================
-
-- Add find_interface API.
-
-0.2 (2008-07-19)
-================
-
-- Add wsgiapp decorator.
-
-- The concept of "view factories" was removed in favor of always calling a
- view, which is a callable that returns a response directly (as opposed to
- returning a view). As a result, the ``factory`` attribute in the
- bfg:view ZCML statement has been renamed to ``view``. Various interface
- names were changed also.
-
-- ``render_template`` and ``render_transform`` no longer return a Response
- object. Instead, these return strings. The old behavior can be obtained
- by using ``render_template_to_response`` and
- ``render_transform_to_response``.
-
-- Added 'repoze.bfg.push:pushpage' decorator, which creates BFG views from
- callables which take (context, request) and return a mapping of top-level
- names.
-
-- Added ACL-based security.
-
-- Support for XSLT templates via a render_transform method
-
-0.1 (2008-07-08)
-================
-
-- Initial release.
