2009-05-31- The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts ``request_type`` as anChris McDonough
alias for its ``condition_method`` argument for symmetry with the ``view`` directive.

2009-05-31- The ``request_type`` argument of ZCML ``view`` declarations andChris McDonough
``bfg_view`` decorators can now be one of the strings ``GET``, ``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``, or ``HEAD`` instead of a reference to the respective interface type imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``.
2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``,Chris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``. These classes were disused with the introduction of the ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery.
2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used inChris McDonough
unit tests.
2009-05-31- Add description to narrative templating chapter about how to useChris McDonough
Chameleon text templates.

2009-05-31- The error presented when a view invoked by the router returns aChris McDonough
non-response object now includes the view's name for troubleshooting purposes. - A "new response" event is emitted for forbiden and notfound views.

-------- - It is now possible to register a custom ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` for a given application. This feature replaces the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` feature previously described in the Hooks chapter. The INotFoundView will be called when the framework detects that a view lookup done as a result of a reqest fails; it should accept a context object and a request object; it should return an IResponse object (a webob response, basically). See the Hooks narrative chapter of the BFG docs for more info. Deprecations ------------ - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been deprecated in favor of using the new ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` mechanism.
2009-05-31- Renamed ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` toChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView``.

2009-05-30- Remove "context" argument from ``effective_principals`` andChris McDonough
``authenticated_userid`` function APIs in ``repoze.bfg.security``, effectively a doing reversion to 0.8 and before behavior. Both functions now again accept only the ``request`` parameter.

2009-05-30- Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrievesChris McDonough
credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info. - Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info.

2009-05-28- Add a ``get_app`` API functions to the ``paster`` module. ThisChris McDonough
obtains a WSGI application from a config file given a config file name and a section name. See the ``repoze.bfg.paster`` API docs for more information. - Add a new module named ``scripting``. It contains a ``get_root`` API function, which, provided a Router instance, returns a traversal root object and a "closer". See the ``repoze.bfg.scripting`` API docs for more info.
2009-05-28- Try checking for an "old style" security policy *after* we parseChris McDonough
ZCML (thinko).

2009-05-27- Removed backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). This must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.ZPTTemplateRenderer`` now.
2009-05-27- Allow IAuthenticationPolicy and IAuthorizationPolicy to beChris McDonough
overridden via ZCML registrations (do ZCML parsing after registering these in router.py).
2009-05-27- Added deprecations for imports of ``ACLSecurityPolicy``,Chris McDonough
``InheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``, and ``WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy`` from the ``repoze.bfg.security`` module; for the meantime (for backwards compatibility purposes) these live in the ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` module. Note however, that the entire concept of a "security policy" is deprecated in BFG in favor of separate authentication and authorization policies, so any use of a security policy will generate additional deprecation warnings even if you do start using ``repoze.bfg.secpols``. ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` will disappear in a future release of ``repoze.bfg``.
2009-05-27- Remove ``repoze.bfg.template`` module. All imports from thisChris McDonough
package have been deprecated since version 0.3.8. Instead, import ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and ``render_template_to_response`` from the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt``module.
2009-05-27- Remove backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). This must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path``).
2009-05-27- Remove backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` (deprecated since 0.6.3). This must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``.
2009-05-27- Removed backwards compatibility aliases forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.router.get_options`` and ``repoze.bfg.router.Settings`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). These both must now be imported from ``repoze.bfg.settings``.

-------- - 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``.
