methods and attributes from within templates. The value ``request`` is
still available too, this is just an alternative.
+- A new interface was added: ``pyramid.interfaces.IResourceURL``. An adapter
+ implementing its interface can be used to override resource URL generation
+ when ``request.resource_url`` is called. This interface replaces the
+ now-deprecated ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` interface.
+
+- The dictionary passed to a resource's ``__resource_url__`` method (see
+ "Overriding Resource URL Generation" in the "Resources" chapter) now
+ contains an ``app_url`` key, representing the application URL generated
+ during ``request.resource_url``. It represents a potentially customized
+ URL prefix, containing potentially custom scheme, host and port information
+ passed by the user to ``request.resource_url``. It should be used instead
+ of ``request.application_url`` where necessary.
+
+- The ``request.resource_url`` API now accepts these arguments: ``app_url``,
+ ``scheme``, ``host``, and ``port``. The app_url argument can be used to
+ replace the URL prefix wholesale during url generation. The ``scheme``,
+ ``host``, and ``port`` arguments can be used to replace the respective
+ default values of ``request.application_url`` partially.
+
+- A new API named ``request.resource_path`` now exists. It works like
+ ``request.resource_url`` but produces a relative URL rather than an
+ absolute one.

+Backwards Incompatibilities
+---------------------------
+
+- The ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` interface has been deprecated.
+ People have been instructed to use this to register a resource url adapter
+ in the "Hooks" chapter to use to influence ``request.resource_url`` URL
+ generation for resources found via custom traversers since Pyramid 1.0.
+
+ The interface still exists and registering such an adapter still works, but
+ this interface will be removed from the software after a few major Pyramid
+ releases. You should replace it with an equivalent
+ ``pyramid.interfaces.IResourceURL`` adapter, registered using the new
+ ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_resource_url_adapter`` API. A
+ deprecation warning is now emitted when a
+ ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` adapter is found when
+ ``request.resource_url`` is called.
