--------
- A ``request.matched_route`` attribute is now added to the request
when a route has matched. Its value is the "route" object that
matched (see the ``IRoute`` interface within
``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation for the API of a route
object).
- The ``exception`` attribute of the request is now set slightly
earlier and in a slightly different set of scenarios, for benefit of
"finished callbacks" and "response callbacks". In previous
versions, the ``exception`` attribute of the request was not set at
all if an exception view was not found. In this version, the
``request.exception`` attribute is set immediately when an exception
is caught by the router, even if an exception view could not be
found.
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
- The router no longer sets the value ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` into
the environ when a route matches. The value used to be something
like ``((), matchdict)``. This functionality was only ever
obliquely referred to in change logs; it was never documented as an
API.
- The ``exception`` attribute of the request now defaults to ``None``.
In prior versions, the ``request.exception`` attribute did not exist
if an exception was not raised by user code during request
processing; it only began existence once an exception view was
found.
Deprecations
------------
- References to the WSGI environment values ``bfg.routes.matchdict``
and ``bfg.routes.route`` were removed from documentation. These
will stick around internally for several more releases, but it is
``request.matchdict`` and ``request.matched_route`` are now the
"official" way to obtain the matchdict and the route object which
resulted in the match.
Documentation
-------------
- Added two sections to the "Hooks" chapter of the documentation:
"Using Response Callbacks" and "Using Finished Callbacks".
- Added documentation of the ``request.exception`` attribute to the
``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` API documentation.
- Added glossary entries for "response callback" and "finished
callback".
- The "Request Processing" narrative chapter has been updated to note
finished and response callback steps.
