2010-07-28- Added a section named "Zope 3 Enforces 'TTW' Authorization Checks ByChris McDonough
Default; BFG Does Not" to the "Design Defense" chapter.
2010-07-28- A ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` decorator was added. ThisChris McDonough
decorator decorates module-scope functions, which are then treated as event listeners after a scan() is performed. See the Events narrative documentation chapter and the ``repoze.bfg.events`` module documentation for more information.
2010-07-28- When adding a view for a route which did not yet exist ("did not yetChris McDonough
exist" meaning, temporally, a view was added with a route name for a route which had not yet been added via add_route), the value of the ``custom_predicate`` argument to ``add_view`` was lost. Symptom: wrong view matches when using URL dispatch and custom view predicates together.

2010-07-24add set_request_factoryChris McDonough
2010-07-24- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists:Chris McDonough
``set_request_factory``. If used, this method will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Hooks`` narrative chapter now contains a section about changing the request factory.
2010-07-23- The ``Hybrid`` narrative chapter now contains a description of theChris McDonough
``traverse`` route argument. - Fix route ZCML directive to use traverse.
2010-07-23actually make a predicate from traverseChris McDonough
2010-07-23- New argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``Chris McDonough
and the ``route`` ZCML directive: ``traverse``. If you would like to cause the ``context`` to be something other than the ``root`` object when this route matches, you can spell a traversal pattern as the ``traverse`` argument. This traversal pattern will be used as the traversal path: traversal will begin at the root object implied by this route (either the global root, or the object returned by the ``factory`` associated with this route). The syntax of the ``traverse`` argument is the same as it is for ``path``. For example, if the ``path`` provided is ``articles/:article/edit``, and the ``traverse`` argument provided is ``/:article``, when a request comes in that causes the route to match in such a way that the ``article`` match value is '1' (when the request URI is ``/articles/1/edit``), the traversal path will be generated as ``/1``. This means that the root object's ``__getitem__`` will be called with the name ``1`` during the traversal phase. If the ``1`` object exists, it will become the ``context`` of the request. The Traversal narrative has more information about traversal. If the traversal path contains segment marker names which are not present in the path argument, a runtime error will occur. The ``traverse`` pattern should not contain segment markers that do not exist in the ``path``. A similar combining of routing and traversal is available when a route is matched which contains a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in its path. The ``traverse`` argument allows you to associate route patterns with an arbitrary traversal path without using a a ``*traverse`` remainder marker; instead you can use other match information. Note that the ``traverse`` argument is ignored when attached to a route that has a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in its path.
2010-07-21- A new internal exception class (*not* an API) namedChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` now exists. This exception is currently raised when no constituent view of a multiview can be called (due to no predicate match). Previously, in this situation, a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` was raised. We provide backwards compatibility for code that expected a ``NotFound`` to be raised when no predicates match by causing ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` to inherit from ``NotFound``. This will cause any exception view registered for ``NotFound`` to be called when a predicate mismatch occurs, as was the previous behavior. There is however, one perverse case that will expose a backwards incompatibility. If 1) you had a view that was registered as a member of a multiview 2) this view explicitly raised a ``NotFound`` exception *in order to* proceed to the next predicate check in the multiview, that code will now behave differently: rather than skipping to the next view match, a NotFound will be raised to the top-level exception handling machinery instead. For code to be depending upon the behavior of a view raising ``NotFound`` to proceed to the next predicate match, would be tragic, but not impossible, given that ``NotFound`` is a public interface. ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` is not a public API and cannot be depended upon by application code, so you should not change your view code to raise ``PredicateMismatch``. Instead, move the logic which raised the ``NotFound`` exception in the view out into a custom view predicate.
2010-07-15updateChris McDonough
2010-07-15FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - New view predicate: match_val. The ``match_val`` value represents the presence of a value in the structure added to the request named ``matchdict`` during URL dispatch representing the match values from the route pattern (e.g. if the route pattern has ``:foo`` in it, and the route matches, a key will exist in the matchdict named ``foo``). Like all other view predicates, this feature is exposed via the ``bfg_view`` API, the Configurator ``add_view`` API, and the ZCML ``view`` directive. Documentation ------------- - API documentation for the ``add_view`` method of the configurator changed to include ``match_val``. - ZCML documentation for ``view`` ZCML directive changed to include ``match_val``. - The ``Views`` narrative chapter now contains a description of the ``match_val`` predicate. Bug Fixes --------- - The ``header`` predicate (when used as either a view predicate or a route predicate) had a problem when specified with a name/regex pair. When the header did not exist in the headers dictionary, the regex match could be fed ``None``, causing it to throw a ``TypeError: expected string or buffer`` exception. Now, the predicate returns False as intended. Internal -------- - Remove ``repoze.bfg.configuration.isclass`` function in favor of using ``inspect.isclass``.

2010-07-12- New internal exception: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``.Chris McDonough
This URL is a subclass of the built-in Python exception named ``UnicodeDecodeError``. - When decoding a URL segment to Unicode fails, the exception raised is now ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` instead of ``UnicodeDecodeError``. This makes it possible to register an exception view invoked specifically when ``repoze.bfg`` cannot decode a URL.
2010-07-12- Fix regression inChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. Before 1.3a4, view names that contained a slash were supported as route prefixes. 1.3a4 broke this by trying to treat them as full URLs.

2010-07-02update whatsnewChris McDonough
2010-07-02- The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API has changed. If a keywordChris McDonough
``_app_url`` is present in the arguments passed to ``route_url``, this value will be used as the protocol/hostname/port/leading path prefix of the generated URL. For example, using an ``_app_url`` of ``http://example.com:8080/foo`` would cause the URL ``http://example.com:8080/foo/fleeb/flub`` to be returned from this function if the expansion of the route pattern associated with the ``route_name`` expanded to ``/fleeb/flub``. - It is now possible to use a URL as the ``name`` argument fed to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. When the name argument is a URL, the ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API will generate join this URL (as a prefix) to a path including the static file name. This makes it more possible to put static media on a separate webserver for production, while keeping static media package-internal and served by the development webserver during development.
