Features
--------
+- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML and
+ via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class
+ decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view
+ callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser
+ view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters
+ (conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting
+ instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method).
+ When called, the instance should return a response. For example::
+
+ from webob import Response
+
+ class MyView(object):
+ def __init__(self, context, request):
+ self.context = context
+ self.request = request
+
+ def __call__(self):
+ return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
+
+ See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the
+ ``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.

- Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wrote
``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in
projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache
