2009-05-27- A paster command has been added named "bfgshell". This command canChris McDonough
be used to get an interactive prompt with your BFG root object in the global namespace. E.g.:: bin/paster bfgshell /path/to/myapp.ini myapp See the ``Project`` chapter in the BFG documentation for more information.

-------- - It is now possible to write a custom security policy that returns a customized ``Forbidden`` WSGI application when BFG cannot authorize an invocation of a view. To this end, ISecurityPolicy objects must now have a ``forbidden`` method. This method should return a WSGI application. The returned WSGI application should generate a response which is appropriate when access to a view resource was forbidden by the security policy (e.g. perhaps a login page). ``repoze.bfg`` is willing to operate with a custom security policy that does not have a ``forbidden`` method, but it will issue a warning; eventually security policies without a ``forbidden`` method will cease to work under ``repoze.bfg``. Note that the ``forbidden`` WSGI application returned by the security policy is not used if a developer has registered an IForbiddenAppFactory (see the "Hooks" narrative chapter); the explicitly registered IForbiddenAppFactory will be preferred over the (more general) security policy forbidden app factory. - All default security policies now have a ``forbidden`` callable attached to them. This particular callable returns a WSGI application which generates a ``401 Unauthorized`` response for backwards compatibility (had backwards compatibility not been an issue, this callable would have returned a WSGI app that generated a ``403 Forbidden`` response). Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Custom NotFound and Forbidden (nee' Unauthorized) WSGI applications (registered a a utility for INotFoundAppFactory and IUnauthorizedAppFactory) could rely on an environment key named ``message`` describing the circumstance of the response. This key has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.message`` (as per the WSGI spec, which requires environment extensions to contain dots). Deprecations ------------ - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenAppFactory``.

2009-05-21- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML andChris McDonough
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.
2009-05-21Remove cacheability voodoo.Chris McDonough
2009-05-21- Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wroteChris McDonough
``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between imperative (e.g. ``@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1 ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast that it really just didn't matter anyway.

-------- - Added a ``traverse`` function to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` module. This function may be used to retrieve certain values computed during path resolution. See the Traversal API chapter of the documentation for more information about this function. Deprecations ------------ - Internal: ``ITraverser`` callables should now return a dictionary rather than a tuple. Up until 0.7.0, all ITraversers were assumed to return a 3-tuple. In 0.7.1, ITraversers were assumed to return a 6-tuple. As (by evidence) it's likely we'll need to add further information to the return value of an ITraverser callable, 0.8 assumes that an ITraverser return a dictionary with certain elements in it. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` interface for the list of keys that should be present in the dictionary. ``ITraversers`` which return tuples will still work, although a deprecation warning will be issued. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - If your code used the ITraverser interface directly (not via an API function such as ``find_model``) via an adapter lookup, you'll need to change your code to expect a dictionary rather than a 3- or 6-tuple if your code ever gets return values from the default ModelGraphTraverser or RoutesModelTraverser adapters.
