2011-07-06- The ``config.scan`` method has grown a ``**kw`` argument. ``kw`` argumentChris McDonough
represents a set of keyword arguments to pass to the Venusian ``Scanner`` object created by Pyramid. (See the Venusian documentation for more information about ``Scanner``).
2011-07-04- New request attribute: ``json``. If the request's ``content_type`` isChris McDonough
``application/json``, this attribute will contain the JSON-decoded variant of the request body. If the request's ``content_type`` is not ``application/json``, this attribute will be ``None``.
2011-07-04- A new value ``http_cache`` can be used as a view configurationChris McDonough
parameter. When you supply an ``http_cache`` value to a view configuration, the ``Expires`` and ``Cache-Control`` headers of a response generated by the associated view callable are modified. The value for ``http_cache`` may be one of the following: - A nonzero integer. If it's a nonzero integer, it's treated as a number of seconds. This number of seconds will be used to compute the ``Expires`` header and the ``Cache-Control: max-age`` parameter of responses to requests which call this view. For example: ``http_cache=3600`` instructs the requesting browser to 'cache this response for an hour, please'. - A ``datetime.timedelta`` instance. If it's a ``datetime.timedelta`` instance, it will be converted into a number of seconds, and that number of seconds will be used to compute the ``Expires`` header and the ``Cache-Control: max-age`` parameter of responses to requests which call this view. For example: ``http_cache=datetime.timedelta(days=1)`` instructs the requesting browser to 'cache this response for a day, please'. - Zero (``0``). If the value is zero, the ``Cache-Control`` and ``Expires`` headers present in all responses from this view will be composed such that client browser cache (and any intermediate caches) are instructed to never cache the response. - A two-tuple. If it's a two tuple (e.g. ``http_cache=(1, {'public':True})``), the first value in the tuple may be a nonzero integer or a ``datetime.timedelta`` instance; in either case this value will be used as the number of seconds to cache the response. The second value in the tuple must be a dictionary. The values present in the dictionary will be used as input to the ``Cache-Control`` response header. For example: ``http_cache=(3600, {'public':True})`` means 'cache for an hour, and add ``public`` to the Cache-Control header of the response'. All keys and values supported by the ``webob.cachecontrol.CacheControl`` interface may be added to the dictionary. Supplying ``{'public':True}`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_control.public = True``. Providing a non-tuple value as ``http_cache`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_expires(value)`` within your view's body. Providing a two-tuple value as ``http_cache`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_expires(value[0], **value[1])`` within your view's body. If you wish to avoid influencing, the ``Expires`` header, and instead wish to only influence ``Cache-Control`` headers, pass a tuple as ``http_cache`` with the first element of ``None``, e.g.: ``(None, {'public':True})``.

2011-07-01fixChris McDonough
2011-07-01- The ``pyramid.events.subscriber`` directive behaved contrary to theChris McDonough
documentation when passed more than one interface object to its constructor. For example, when the following listener was registered:: @subscriber(IFoo, IBar) def expects_ifoo_events_and_ibar_events(event): print event The Events chapter docs claimed that the listener would be registered and listening for both ``IFoo`` and ``IBar`` events. Instead, it registered an "object event" subscriber which would only be called if an IObjectEvent was emitted where the object interface was ``IFoo`` and the event interface was ``IBar``. The behavior now matches the documentation. If you were relying on the buggy behavior of the 1.0 ``subscriber`` directive in order to register an object event subscriber, you must now pass a sequence to indicate you'd like to register a subscriber for an object event. e.g.: @subscriber([IFoo, IBar]) def expects_object_event(object, event): print object, event
2011-07-01fix wiki tests tooChris McDonough
2011-07-01- The Wiki2 tutorial "Tests" chapter had two bugs: it did not tell the userChris McDonough
to depend on WebTest, and 2 tests failed as the result of changes to Pyramid itself. These issues have been fixed.
2011-07-01- Deprecated the ``set_renderer_globals_factory`` method of the ConfiguratorChris McDonough
and the ``renderer_globals`` Configurator constructor parameter.
2011-07-01Add JSONP rendererChris McDonough
2011-06-26- ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now raises deprecation warnings whenChris McDonough
attributes deprecated for ``pyramid.request.Request`` are accessed (like ``response_content_type``). This is for the benefit of folks running unit tests which use DummyRequest instead of a "real" request, so they know things are deprecated without necessarily needing a functional test suite.
2011-06-26prep for 1.1a3Chris McDonough
2011-06-26- Added ``mako.preprocessor`` config file parameter; allows for a MakoChris McDonough
preprocessor to be specified as a Python callable or Python dotted name. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/183 for rationale. Closes #183.
2011-06-26- Accessing or setting deprecated response_* attrs on requestChris McDonough
(e.g. ``response_content_type``) now issues a deprecation warning at access time rather than at rendering time.

2011-06-22- If multiple specs were provided in a single call toChris McDonough
``config.add_translation_dirs``, the directories were inserted into the beginning of the directory list in the wrong order: they were inserted in the reverse of the order they were provided in the ``*specs`` list (items later in the list trumped ones earlier in the list). This is now fixed. Note however, that later calls to ``config.add_translation_dirs`` continue to insert directories into the beginning of the list of translation directories created by earlier calls. This means that the same translation found in a directory added via ``add_translation_dirs`` later in the configuration process will be found before one added earlier via a separate call to ``add_translation_dirs`` in the configuration process.

2011-06-21- The pyramid Router attempted to set a value into the keyChris McDonough
``environ['repoze.bfg.message']`` when it caught a view-related exception for backwards compatibility with :mod:`repoze.bfg` during error handling. It did this by using code that looked like so:: # "why" is an exception object try: msg = why[0] except: msg = '' environ['repoze.bfg.message'] = msg Use of the value ``environ['repoze.bfg.message']`` was docs-deprecated in Pyramid 1.0. Our standing policy is to not remove features after a deprecation for two full major releases, so this code was originally slated to be removed in Pyramid 1.2. However, computing the ``repoze.bfg.message`` value was the source of at least one bug found in the wild (https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/199), and there isn't a foolproof way to both preserve backwards compatibility and to fix the bug. Therefore, the code which sets the value has been removed in this release. Code in exception views which relies on this value's presence in the environment should now use the ``exception`` attribute of the request (e.g. ``request.exception[0]``) to retrieve the message instead of relying on ``request.environ['repoze.bfg.message']``. Closes #199.

2011-06-19- Base exception response content type again on accept header.Chris McDonough
- The ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` classes named ``HTTPFound``, ``HTTPMultipleChoices``, ``HTTPMovedPermanently``, ``HTTPSeeOther``, ``HTTPUseProxy``, and ``HTTPTemporaryRedirect`` now accept ``location`` as their first positional argument rather than ``detail``. This means that you can do, e.g. ``return pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPFound('http://foo')`` rather than ``return pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPFound(location='http//foo')`` (the latter will of course continue to work).

2011-06-14- Move default app_iter generation logic into __call__ forChris McDonough
exception responses. - Add note about why we've created a shadow exception hierarchy parallel to that of webob.exc.
2011-06-14- New method named ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response``. This methodChris McDonough
should be used instead of the ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function, which has been deprecated. - Deprecated ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function in favor of (newly-added) ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response`` method. Determining if an object is truly a valid response object now requires access to the registry, which is only easily available as a request attribute. The ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function will still work until it is removed, but now may return an incorrect answer under some (very uncommon) circumstances.
2011-06-14- Added new add_response_adapter method to Configurator.Chris McDonough
- Fix Configurator docstring wrt exception responses. - Speed up registry.queryAdapterOrSelf
2011-06-13- Remove IResponder abstraction in favor of more general IResponseChris McDonough
abstraction. - It is now possible to return an arbitrary object from a Pyramid view callable even if a renderer is not used, as long as a suitable adapter to ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` is registered for the type of the returned object. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The Pyramid router now, by default, expects response objects returned from view callables to implement the ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface. Unlike the Pyramid 1.0 version of this interface, objects which implement IResponse now must define a ``__call__`` method that accepts ``environ`` and ``start_response``, and which returns an ``app_iter`` iterable, among other things. Previously, it was possible to return any object which had the three WebOb ``app_iter``, ``headerlist``, and ``status`` attributes as a response, so this is a backwards incompatibility. It is possible to get backwards compatibility back by registering an adapter to IResponse from the type of object you're now returning from view callables. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface is now much more extensive. Previously it defined only ``app_iter``, ``status`` and ``headerlist``; now it is basically intended to directly mirror the ``webob.Response`` API, which has many methods and attributes. - Documentation changes to support above.
2011-06-11- Pyramid now expects Response objects to have a __call__Chris McDonough
method which implements the WSGI application interface instead of the three webob attrs status, headerlist and app_iter. Backwards compatibility exists for code which returns response objects that do not have a __call__. - pyramid.response.Response is no longer an exception (and therefore cannot be raised in order to generate a response). - Changed my mind about moving stuff from pyramid.httpexceptions to pyramid.response. The stuff I moved over has been moved back to pyramid.httpexceptions.
2011-06-06Add support for language fallback.Wichert Akkerman
2011-06-04- It is now possible to control how the Pyramid router calls the WSGIChris McDonough
``start_response`` callable and obtains the WSGI ``app_iter`` based on adapting the response object to the new ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponder`` interface. The default ``IResponder`` uses Pyramid 1.0's logic to do this. To override the responder:: from pyramid.interfaces import IResponder from pyramid.response import Response from myapp import MyResponder config.registry.registerAdapter(MyResponder, (Response,), IResponder, name='') This makes it possible to reuse response object implementations which have, for example, their own ``__call__`` expected to be used as a WSGI application (like ``pyramid.response.Response``), e.g.: class MyResponder(object): def __init__(self, response): """ Obtain a reference to the response """ self.response = response def __call__(self, request, start_response): """ Call start_response and return an app_iter """ app_iter = self.response(request.environ, start_response) return app_iter
2011-05-30- Fix older CHANGES entries.Chris McDonough
- The ``pyramid.request.Request`` class now has a ``ResponseClass`` interface which points at ``pyramid.response.Response``. - The ``pyramid.request.Response`` class now has a ``RequestClass`` interface which points at ``pyramid.response.Request``. - ``pyramid.response.Response`` is now a *subclass* of ``webob.response.Response``. It also inherits from the built-in Python ``Exception`` class and implements the ``pyramid.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` class so it can be raised as an exception from view code.

2011-05-25add notifications for new featureChris McDonough
2011-05-16- Added API docs for ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` andChris McDonough
``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``. - Added "HTTP Exceptions" section to Views narrative chapter including a description of ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort``; adjusted redirect section to note ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect``. - A default exception view for the context ``webob.exc.HTTPException`` (aka ``pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPException``) is now registered by default. This means that an instance of any exception class imported from ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` (such as ``HTTPFound``) can now be raised from within view code; when raised, this exception view will render the exception to a response. - New functions named ``pyramid.httpexceptions.abort`` and ``pyramid.httpexceptions.redirect`` perform the equivalent of their Pylons brethren when an HTTP exception handler is registered. These functions take advantage of the newly registered exception view for ``webob.exc.HTTPException``. - The Configurator now accepts an additional keyword argument named ``httpexception_view``. By default, this argument is populated with a default exception view function that will be used when an HTTP exception is raised. When ``None`` is passed for this value, an exception view for HTTP exceptions will not be registered. Passing ``None`` returns the behavior of raising an HTTP exception to that of Pyramid 1.0 (the exception will propagate to middleware and to the WSGI server).
2011-05-15gardenChris McDonough
2011-05-13- The ``add_route`` method of the Configurator now accepts a ``static``Chris McDonough
argument. If this argument is ``True``, the added route will never be considered for matching when a request is handled. Instead, it will only be useful for URL generation via ``route_url`` and ``route_path``. See the section entitled "Static Routes" in the URL Dispatch narrative chapter for more information.
2011-05-13- Added documentation for a "multidict" (e.g. the API of ``request.POST``) asChris McDonough
interface API documentation.

2011-04-27- Passing an ``environ`` dictionary to the ``__call__`` method of aChris McDonough
"traverser" (e.g. an object that implements ``pyramid.interfaces.ITraverser`` such as an instance of ``pyramid.traversal.ResourceTreeTraverser``) as its ``request`` argument now causes a deprecation warning to be emitted. Consumer code should pass a ``request`` object instead. The fact that passing an environ dict is permitted has been documentation-deprecated since ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1, and this capability will be removed entirely in a future version. - The following (undocumented, dictionary-like) methods of the ``pyramid.request.Request`` object have been deprecated: ``__contains__``, ``__delitem__``, ``__getitem__``, ``__iter__``, ``__setitem__``, ``get``, ``has_key``, ``items``, ``iteritems``, ``itervalues``, ``keys``, ``pop``, ``popitem``, ``setdefault``, ``update``, and ``values``. Usage of any of these methods will cause a deprecation warning to be emitted. These methods were added for internal compatibility in ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1 (code that currently expects a request object expected an environ object in BFG 1.0 and before). In a future version, these methods will be removed entirely.
2011-04-27- Previously, ``pyramid.request.Request`` inherited fromChris McDonough
``webob.request.Request`` and implemented ``__getattr__``, ``__setattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` itself in order to overidde "adhoc attr" WebOb behavior where attributes of the request are stored in the environ. Now, ``pyramid.request.Request`` object inherits from (the more recent) ``webob.request.BaseRequest`` instead of ``webob.request.Request``, which provides the same behavior. ``pyramid.request.Request`` no longer implements its own ``__getattr__``, ``__setattr__`` or ``__delattr__`` as a result.

2011-04-22- Make sure deprecation warnings aren't raised when tests are run.Chris McDonough
- Modify documentation for cross-referencing. - Use add_view(viewname) syntax rather than add_view(view=viewname) syntax for normalization. - Use warnings.warn rather than zope.deprecated in order to make testing easier. - Move tests which test deprecated methods of configurator to a separate test case.
