- 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')
