- 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``).
