2009-09-30- Add a diagram which explains the operation of the BFG router to theChris McDonough
"Router" narrative chapter.
2009-09-30- Describe "request-only" view calling conventions inside theChris McDonough
urldispatch narrative chapter, where it's most helpful.
2009-09-30- For behavior like Django's ``APPEND_SLASH=True``, use theChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` view as the Not Found view in your application. When this view is the Not Found view (indicating that no view was found), and any routes have been defined in the configuration of your application, if the value of ``PATH_INFO`` does not already end in a slash, and if the value of ``PATH_INFO`` *plus* a slash matches any route's path, do an HTTP redirect to the slash-appended PATH_INFO. Note that this will *lose* ``POST`` data information (turning it into a GET), so you shouldn't rely on this to redirect POST requests.
2009-09-30- The import of ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` is deprecated in favor ofChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``. The old location still functions, but emits a deprecation warning. - The import of ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` is deprecated in favor of ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``. The old location still functions but emits a deprecation warning. The rename from ``Unauthorized`` to ``Forbidden`` brings parity to the the name of the exception and the system view it invokes when raised. - New ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module was created to house exceptions that were previously sprinkled through various modules. - An ``exceptions`` API chapter was added, documenting the new ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module.
2009-09-24- Minor speedup of ``repoze.bfg.router.Router.__call__``.Chris McDonough
2009-09-24- Sped up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser:__call__``Chris McDonough
slightly.

2009-09-23- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` slightly.Chris McDonough
- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` slightly.
2009-09-23- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``.Chris McDonough
- Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly. - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` slightly. - In 0.8a7, the return value expected from an object implementing ``ITraverserFactory`` was changed from a sequence of values to a dictionary containing the keys ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``, ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, ``virtual_root_path``, and ``root``. Until now, old-style traversers which returned a sequence have continued to work but have generated a deprecation warning. In this release, traversers which return a sequence instead of a dictionary will no longer work.

-------- - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.encode.urlencode`` (nee' ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) slightly. - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly. Internal -------- - Move ``repoze.bfg.traversal._url_quote`` into ``repoze.bfg.encode`` as ``url_quote``. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - We previously had a Unicode-aware wrapper for the ``urllib.urlencode`` function named ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode`` which delegated to the stdlib function, but which marshalled all unicode values to utf-8 strings before calling the stdlib version. A newer replacement now lives in ``repoze.bfg.encode`` (old imports will still work). The replacement does not delegate to the stdlib. The replacement diverges from the stdlib implementation and the previous ``repoze.bfg.url`` url implementation inasmuch as its ``doseq`` argument is a decoy: it always behaves in the ``doseq=True`` way (which is the only sane behavior) for speed purposes. The old import location (``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) still functions and has not been deprecated.

2009-09-23Prep for 1.1a4.Chris McDonough
2009-09-23- On 64-bit Linux systems, views that were members of a multiviewChris McDonough
(orderings of views with predicates) were not evaluated in the proper order. Symptom: in a configuration that had two views with the same name but one with a ``request_method=POST`` predicate and one without, the one without the predicate would be called unconditionally (even if the request was a POST request). Thanks much to Sebastien Douche for providing the buildbots that pointed this out.
2009-09-20- The way ``bfg_view`` declarations are scanned for has been modified.Chris McDonough
This should have no external effects. - An object implementing the ``IRenderer`` interface (and ``ITemplateRenderer`, which is a subclass of ``IRenderer``) must now accept an extra ``system`` argument in its ``__call__`` method implementation. Values computed by the system (as opposed to by the view) are passed by the system in the ``system`` parameter, which will always be a dictionary. Keys in the dictionary include: ``view`` (the view object that returned the value), ``renderer_name`` (the template name or simple name of the renderer), ``context`` (the context object passed to the view), and ``request`` (the request object passed to the view). Previously only ITemplateRenderers received system arguments as elements inside the main ``value`` dictionary.
2009-09-20- Speed: do not register an ITraverserFactory in configure.zcml;Chris McDonough
instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to ModelGraphTraverser. - Speed: do not register an IContextURL in configure.zcml; instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to TraversalContextURL. - General speed microimprovements for helloworld benchmark: replace try/excepts with statements which use 'in' keyword.
2009-09-19- Added a tutorial which explains how to use ``repoze.session``Chris McDonough
(ZODB-based sessions) in a ZODB-based repoze.bfg app.
2009-09-19- Added a tutorial which explains how to add ZEO to a ZODB-basedChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg`` application.
2009-09-18Add a mod_wsgi configuration tutorial.Chris McDonough
2009-09-17- Add a ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API which is capable ofChris McDonough
generating URLs to static resources defined by the ``<static>`` ZCML directive. See the "Views" narrative chapter's section titled "Generating Static Resource URLs" for more information.
2009-09-17- Add a ``string`` renderer. This renderer converts a non-ResponseChris McDonough
return value of any view callble into a string. It is documented in the "Views" narrative chapter.
2009-09-16- Give the ``route`` ZCML directive the ``view_attr`` andChris McDonough
``view_renderer`` parameters (bring up to speed with 1.1a3 features). These can also be spelled as ``attr`` and ``renderer``.
2009-09-16Prep for 1.1a3.Chris McDonough
2009-09-16- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API has beenChris McDonough
deprecated in favor of ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer``. A deprecation warning is *not* issued at import time for the former name; it will exist "forever". - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function has been moved to ``repoze.bfg.renderer.template_renderer_factory``. This was never an API, but code in the wild was spotted that used it. A deprecation warning is issued at import time for the former. - Better error message when a wrapper view returns None.

2009-09-16Checkpoint. Not 100% test coverage.Chris McDonough
2009-09-14- The ``view`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive is no longerChris McDonough
required if the ZCML directive has a ``template`` attribute.
2009-09-14- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``Chris McDonough
decorator) can now accept a "wrapper" value. If a "wrapper" value is supplied, it is the value of a separate view's *name* attribute. When a view with a ``wrapper`` attribute is rendered, the "inner" view is first rendered normally. Its body is then attached to the request as "wrapped_body", and then a wrapper view name is looked up and rendered (using ``repoze.bfg.render_view_to_response``), passed the request and the context. The wrapper view is assumed to do something sensible with ``request.wrapped_body``, usually inserting its structure into some other rendered template. This feature makes it possible to specify (potentially nested) "owrap" relationships between views using only ZCML or decorators (as opposed always using ZPT METAL and analogues to wrap view renderings in outer wrappers).
2009-09-14Prep for 1.1a2.Chris McDonough
2009-09-14- A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view``Chris McDonough
decorator) can now accept an "attr" value. If an "attr" value is supplied, it is considered a method named of the view object to be called when the response is required. This is typically only good for views that are classes or instances (not so useful for functions, as functions typically have no methods other than ``__call__``). - A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view`` decorator) can now accept a "template" value. If a "template" value is supplied, and the view callable returns a dictionary, the associated template is rendered with the dictionary as keyword arguments.
2009-09-06Prep for 1.1a1.Chris McDonough
2009-09-06- The ``registry_manager`` backwards compatibility alias importableChris McDonough
from "repoze.bfg.registry", deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9 has been removed. If you are tring to use the registry manager within a debug script of your own, use a combination of the "repoze.bfg.paster.get_app" and "repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root" APIs instead.
2009-09-06Remove 0.9 deprecations.Chris McDonough
2009-09-06Merge multiview2 branch to HEAD.Chris McDonough
2009-08-25- The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` class now accepts a string as itsChris McDonough
first argument ("root_dir") that represents a package-relative name e.g. ``somepackage:foo/bar/static``. This is now the preferred mechanism for spelling package-relative static paths using this class. A ``package_name`` keyword argument has been left around for backwards compatibility. If it is supplied, it will be honored. - Fixed documentation for ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` (in narrative ``Views`` chapter).
2009-08-24Added ZCML directive to serve up static files from a directory.Malthe Borch
2009-08-20- "tests" module removed from the bfg_alchemy paster template; theseChris McDonough
tests didn't work.
2009-08-14- Move (non-API) default_view, default_forbidden_view, andChris McDonough
default_notfound_view functions into the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module (moved from ``repoze.bfg.router``).
2009-08-13- Request-only-convention examples in the "Views" narrativeChris McDonough
documentation were broken.
2009-08-09- Change urldispatch internals: Route object is now constructed usingChris McDonough
a path, a name, and a factory instead of a name, a matcher, a generator, and a factory.
2009-08-04- Allow ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_interface`` API to use a classChris McDonough
object as the argument to compare against the ``model`` passed in. This means you can now do ``find_interface(model, SomeClass)`` and the first object which is found in the lineage which has ``SomeClass`` as its class (or the first object found which has ``SomeClass`` as any of its superclasses) will be returned.
2009-07-28- Fixed documentation bugs related to forget and remember in security APIChris McDonough
docs.
2009-07-22Back to dev.Chris McDonough
2009-07-22Prep for 1.0.1.Chris McDonough
2009-07-22- Added support for ``has_resource``, ``resource_isdir``, andChris McDonough
``resource_listdir`` to the resource "OverrideProvider"; this fixes a bug with a symptom that a file could not be overridden in a resource directory unless a file with the same name existed in the original directory being overridden.
2009-07-21Declared the Paste and PasteDeploy dependencies.Shane Hathaway
2009-07-20Fixed documentation bug showing invalid test for values from the ``matchdict``.Tres Seaver
o They are stored as attributes of the ``Article``, rather than subitems.
2009-07-20Fixed documentation bug showing wrong environment key for the ``matchdict``Tres Seaver
produced by the matching route. Thanks to leopay for the catch.
2009-07-09- Added a workaround for a bug in Python 2.6, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2 havingChris McDonough
to do with a recursion error in the mimetypes module when trying to serve static files from Paste's FileApp: http://bugs.python.org/issue5853. Symptom: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/mimetypes.py", line 244, in guess_type return guess_type(url, strict) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded. Thanks to Armin Ronacher for identifying the symptom and pointing out a fix.
