Features
--------
+- Third-party custom view and route predicates can now be added for use by
+ view authors via ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view_predicate`` and
+ ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route_predicate``. So, for example,
+ doing this::
+
+ config.add_view_predicate('abc', my.package.ABCPredicate)
+
+ Might allow a view author to do this in an application that configured that
+ predicate::
+
+ @view_config(abc=1)
+
+ See "Adding A Third Party View or Route Predicate" in the Hooks chapter for
+ more information.
+
+ Note that changes made to support the above feature now means that only
+ actions registered using the same "order" can conflict with one another.
+ It used to be the case that actions registered at different orders could
+ potentially conflict, but to my knowledge nothing ever depended on this
+ behavior (it was a bit silly).

+- ``config.set_request_method`` has been introduced to support extending

NotFound view (and other exception views).

+ result for the view being called. The uri format using an asset spec is
+ package:path/to/template#defname.mako. The old way of returning a tuple
from the view is supported for backward compatibility, ('defname', {}).
- When there is a predicate mismatch exception (seen when no view matches for
a given request due to predicates not working), the exception now contains
a textual description of the predicate which didn't match.
+
+- An ``add_permission`` directive method was added to the Configurator. This
+ directive registers a free-standing permission introspectable into the
+ Pyramid introspection system. Frameworks built atop Pyramid can thus use
+ the the ``permissions`` introspectable category data to build a
+ comprehensive list of permissions supported by a running system. Before
+ this method was added, permissions were already registered in this
+ introspectable category as a side effect of naming them in an ``add_view``
+ call, this method just makes it possible to arrange for a permission to be
+ put into the ``permissions`` introspectable category without naming it
+ along with an associated view. Here's an example of usage of
+ ``add_permission``::
+
+ config = Configurator()
+ config.add_permission('view')
+
+- The ``UnencryptedCookieSessionFactoryConfig`` now accepts
+ ``signed_serialize`` and ``signed_deserialize`` hooks which may be used
+ to influence how the sessions are marshalled (by default this is done
+ with HMAC+pickle).
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+- The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_property`` has been
+ documentation-deprecated. The method remains usable but the more
+ featureful ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_method`` should be
+ used in its place (it has all of the same capabilities but can also extend
+ the request object with methods).
