- 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.

- Fixed documentation for ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` (in narrative
  ``Views`` chapter).
