- 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.
