2008-11-08Get rid of BFGTestCase base class: use only functions.Chris McDonough
2008-11-07 FeaturesChris McDonough
- Added a ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module to attempt to make it slightly easier to write unittest-based automated tests of BFG applications. Information about this class is in the documentation. - The default template renderer now supports testing better by looking for ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` using a relative pathname. This is exposed indirectly through the API named ``registerTemplate`` in ``repoze.bfg.testing``. Deprecations - The names ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` , ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate`` have been deprecated. These should now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory``, and ``INodeTemplateRenderer`` respectively. - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateRenderer``. - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateRenderer``. - The name ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateRenderer``.
2008-11-02Prep for 0.4.3.Chris McDonough
2008-11-02 - Fix bug where default deny in authorization check would throw aChris McDonough
TypeError (use ``ACLDenied`` instead of ``Denied``).
2008-11-02Identation.Chris McDonough
2008-11-02 - Not passing the result of "get_options" as the second argument ofChris McDonough
make_app could cause attribute errors when attempting to look up settings against the ISettings object (internal). Fixed by giving the Settings objects defaults for ``debug_authorization`` and ``debug_notfound``.
2008-11-02Prep for 0.4.2.Chris McDonough
2008-11-02 FeaturesChris McDonough
- The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization`` config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the debugger and print statements in your own code. - Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true. - The format of authorization debug messages was improved. - A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain the same debugging information. - ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes. - Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and ``debug_authorization``). Documentation - Added info about debug flag changes. - Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``).
2008-11-01 - Expose a single ILogger named "repoze.bfg.debug" as a utility;Chris McDonough
this logger is registered unconditionally and is used by the authorization debug machinery. Applications may also make use of it as necessary rather than inventing their own logger, for convenience.
2008-11-01(no commit message)Chris McDonough
2008-11-01 - Change default paster template generator to use ``Paste#http``Chris McDonough
server rather than ``PasteScript#cherrpy`` server. The cherrypy server has a security risk in it when ``REMOTE_USER`` is trusted by the downstream application.
2008-10-28 - If the ``render_view_to_response`` function was called, if theChris McDonough
view was found and called, but it returned something that did not implement IResponse, the error would pass by unflagged. This was noticed when I created a view function that essentially returned None, but received a NotFound error rather than a ValueError when the view was rendered. This was fixed.
2008-10-03 Docs Chris McDonough
- An "Environment and Configuration" chapter was added to the narrative portion of the documentation. Features - Ensure bfg doesn't generate warnings when running under Python 2.6. - The environment variable ``BFG_RELOAD_TEMPLATES`` is now available (serves the same purpose as ``reload_templates`` in the config file). - A new configuration file option ``debug_authorization`` was added. This turns on printing of security authorization debug statements to ``sys.stderr``. The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` environment variable was also added; this performs the same duty. Bug Fixes - The environment variable ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` did not always work. It has been renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` and fixed. Deprecations - A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from the ``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported. Backwards incompatibilities - The ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` environment variable was renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION``.

2008-09-28 - A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from theChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported.
2008-09-28 FeaturesChris McDonough
- A ``repoze.bfg.location`` API module was added. Backwards incompatibilities - Applications must now use the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface rather than ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` to represent that a model object is "location-aware". We've removed a dependency on ``zope.location`` for cleanliness purposes: as new versions of zope libraries are released which have improved dependency information, getting rid of our dependence on ``zope.location`` will prevent a newly installed repoze.bfg application from requiring the ``zope.security``, egg, which not truly used at all in a "stock" repoze.bfg setup. These dependencies are still required by the stack at this time; this is purely a futureproofing move. The security and model documentation for previous versions of ``repoze.bfg`` recommended using the ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` interface to represent that a model object is "location-aware". This documentation has been changed to reflect that this interface should now be imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` instead.

2008-09-01Prep for 0.3.5.Chris McDonough
2008-09-01Add render_view function.Chris McDonough
2008-09-01 - New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functionsChris McDonough
named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API docs. These features aid programmatic (non-request-driven) view execution.

2008-08-29Prep for 0.3.4.Chris McDonough
2008-08-29model_path and *backwards incompatible change* removing "make_app" and ↵Chris McDonough
"get_options" from __init__.py of repoze.bfg; use repoze.bfg.router:make_app and repoze.bfg.registry:get_options instead.

2008-08-24Prep for 0.3.2.Chris McDonough
2008-08-24 - Remove ``sampleapp`` sample application from bfg package itself.Chris McDonough
- Remove dependency on FormEncode (only needed by sampleapp). - Fix paster template generation so that case-sensitivity is preserved for project vs. package name. - Depend on ``z3c.pt`` version 1.0a1 (which requires the ``[lxml]`` extra currently).
2008-08-23 - Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored asChris McDonough
``configure.zcml.pck`` next to the applications's "normal" configuration file. A given bfg app will usually start faster if it's able to read the pickle data. It fails gracefully to reading the real ZCML file if it cannot read the pickle.
2008-08-20Prep for 0.3.1.Chris McDonough
2008-08-18 - Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry pointChris McDonough
renamed to ``app`` in order to have a different name than the bfg function of the same name, to prevent confusion. - Add "options" processing to bfg's ``make_app`` to support runtime options. A new API function named ``get_options`` was added to the registry module. This function is typically used in an application's ``app`` entry point. The Paste config file section for the app can now supply the ``reload_templates`` option, which, if true, will prevent the need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template changes to be detected. - Use only the module name in generated project's "test_suite" (run all tests found in the package). - Default port for generated apps changed from 5432 to 6543 (Postgres default port is 6543).
2008-08-17 - Add ``<bfg:settings>`` directive. This directive currently allowsChris McDonough
only one attribute: ``reload_templates``. If e.g.:: <bfg:settings reload_templates="true"/> is in your application's ZCML, you will not need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template changes to be detected and displayed.
2008-08-16Prep for 0.3.0.Chris McDonough
2008-08-12Fix ITraverserFactory lookup; release 0.2.9.Chris McDonough
2008-08-110.2.8.Chris McDonough
2008-08-08find_context_from_path -> find_modelChris McDonough
2008-08-08 - Add ``find_context_from_path`` and ``find_root`` traversal APIs.Chris McDonough
In the process, make ITraverser a uni-adapter (on context) rather than a multiadapter (on context and request).
2008-08-06 - Small url dispatch overhaul: the ``connect`` method of theChris McDonough
``urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now accepts a keyword parameter named ``context_factory``. If this parameter is supplied, it must be a callable which returns an instance. This instance is used as the context for the request when a route is matched. - The registration of a RoutesModelTraverser no longer needs to be performed by the application; it's in the bfg ZCML now.
2008-08-04 - Add a ``request_type`` attribute to the available attributes of aChris McDonough
``bfg:view`` configure.zcml element. This attribute will have a value which is a dotted Python path, pointing at an interface. If the request object implements this interface when the view lookup is performed, the appropriate view will be called. - Remove "template only" views. These were just confusing and were never documented.
2008-07-31 - Add event sends for INewRequest and INewResponse. See theChris McDonough
events.rst chapter in the documentation's ``api`` directory.
