- 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 ``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.
