- Add ``Base.metadata.bind = engine`` to ``alchemy`` scaffold, so that tables
defined imperatively will work.
+- Comments with references to documentation sections placed in scaffold
+ ``.ini`` files.
+
+- Allow multiple values to be specified to the ``request_param`` view/route
+ predicate as a sequence. Previously only a single string value was allowed.
+ See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/705
+
+- Added an HTTP Basic authentication policy
+ at :class:`pyramid.authentication.BasicAuthAuthenticationPolicy`.
+
+- The :meth:`pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_securitypolicy` method now
+ returns the policy object it creates.
+
+- The DummySecurityPolicy created by
+ :meth:`pyramid.config.testing_securitypolicy` now sets a ``forgotten`` value
+ on the policy (the value ``True``) when its ``forget`` method is called.
+
+
+- The DummySecurityPolicy created by
+ :meth:`pyramid.config.testing_securitypolicy` now sets a
+ ``remembered`` value on the policy, which is the value of the ``principal``
+ argument it's called with when its ``remember`` method is called.
+
+- New ``physical_path`` view predicate. If specified, this value should be a
+ string or a tuple representing the physical traversal path of the context
+ found via traversal for this predicate to match as true. For example:
+ ``physical_path='/'`` or ``physical_path='/a/b/c'`` or ``physical_path=('',
+ 'a', 'b', 'c')``. It's useful when you want to always potentially show a
+ view when some object is traversed to, but you can't be sure about what kind
+ of object it will be, so you can't use the ``context`` predicate.
