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.
2009-07-06- Minor edits to tutorials for accuracy based on feedback.Chris McDonough

2009-07-03Prep for b2.Chris McDonough
2009-07-03- ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML directive didn't workChris McDonough
without an ``environ_key`` directive (didn't match docs).
2009-07-03- Fix ``configure_zcml`` filespec check on Windows. Previously if anChris McDonough
absolute filesystem path including a drive letter was passed as ``filename`` (or as ``configure_zcml`` in the options dict) to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``, it would be treated as a package:resource_name specification.
2009-07-02- Fix inaccuracies and import errors in bfgwiki (traversal+ZODB) andChris McDonough
bfgwiki2 (urldispatch+SA) tutorials. - Use bfgsite index for all tutorial setup.cfg files.

2009-07-02Allow ``zcml_configure`` value to override the package.Chris McDonough
2009-07-02- Added an "Extending" chapter to the narrative documentation whichChris McDonough
explains how to extend or modify an existing BFG application using another Python package and ZCML.
2009-07-02- Added a "Resources" chapter to the narrative documentation whichChris McDonough
explains how to override resources within one package from another package.
2009-07-02- Allow a Paste config file (``configure_zcml``) value or anChris McDonough
environment variable (``BFG_CONFIGURE_ZCML``) to name a ZCML file that will be used to bootstrap the application. Previously, the integrator could not influence which ZCML file was used to do the boostrapping (only the original application developer could do so).
2009-07-01Prep for yet another alpha.Chris McDonough
2009-07-01Formatting.Chris McDonough
2009-07-01- Make it possible to pass strings in the formChris McDonough
"package_name:relative/path" to APIs like ``render_template``, ``render_template_to_response``, and ``get_template``. Sometimes the package in which a caller lives is a direct namespace package, so the module which is returned is semi-useless for navigating from.
2009-07-01Prep for 1.0a8.Chris McDonough
2009-07-01- Deprecate the ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy``Chris McDonough
arguments to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. Instead, developers should use the various authentication policy ZCML directives (``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``, ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` and ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``) and the `aclauthorizationpolicy`` authorization policy directive as described in the changes to the "Security" narrative documentation chapter and the wiki tutorials.
