+- A new :meth:`repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback` API
+  has been added.  This method is documented in the new
+  :mod:`repoze.bfg.request` API chapter.  It can be used to influence
+  response values before a concrete response object has been created.

+- The :class:`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

+  below-named arguments to be passed as "dotted name strings"
+  (e.g. "foo.bar.baz") rather than as actual implementation objects
