as an adapter for ``ITraverser`` or ``ITraverserFactory``) will now
receive a *request* as the single argument to its ``__call__``
method. In previous versions it was passed a WSGI ``environ``
object. The request object passed to the factory implements
dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing traverser code
which expects to be passed an environ will continue to work.

directive. If this value is set, it must be an integer representing
the number of seconds which the auth tkt cookie will survive.
Mainly, its existence allows the auth_tkt cookie to survive across
browser sessions.
- The ``reissue_time`` argument to the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``
ZCML directive now actually works. When it is set to an integer
value, an authticket set-cookie header is appended to the response
whenever a request requires authentication and 'now' minus the
authticket's timestamp is greater than ``reissue_time`` seconds.
- The router now checks for a ``global_response_headers`` attribute of
the request object before returning a response. If this value
exists, it is presumed to be a sequence of two-tuples, representing
a set of headers to append to the 'normal' response headers. This
feature is internal, rather than exposed internally, because it's
unclear whether it will stay around in the long term. It was added
to support the ``reissue_time`` feature of the authtkt
authentication policy.
- The ``authtkt`` authentication policy ``remember`` method now no
longer honors ``token`` or ``userdata`` keyword arguments.

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.

--------
- Two new security policies were added:
RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy and
WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy. These are security policies which
take into account *all* ACLs defined in the lineage of a context
rather than stopping at the first ACL found in a lineage. See the
"Security" chapter of the API documentation for more information.
- The API and narrative documentation dealing with security was
changed to introduce the new "inheriting" security policy variants.
- Added glossary entry for "lineage".
Deprecations
------------
- The security policy previously named
``RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy`` now has the slightly saner
name of ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``. A deprecation warning is emitted
when this policy is imported under the "old" name; usually this is
due to its use in ZCML within your application. If you're getting
this deprecation warning, change your ZCML to use the new name,
e.g. change::
<utility
provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
factory="repoze.bfg.security.RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy"
/>
To::
<utility
provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy"
factory="repoze.bfg.security.WhoACLSecurityPolicy"
/>

- Rather than prepare the "stock" implementations of the ZCML
directives from the ``zope.configuration`` package for use under
:mod:`repoze.bfg`, :mod:`repoze.bfg` now makes available the
implementations of directives from the ``repoze.zcml`` package
(see http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs). As a result, the
:mod:`repoze.bfg` package now depends on the ``repoze.zcml``
package, and no longer depends directly on the ``zope.component``,
``zope.configuration``, ``zope.interface``, or ``zope.proxy``
packages.
The primary reason for this change is to enable us to eventually
reduce the number of inappropriate :mod:`repoze.bfg` Zope package
dependencies, as well as to shed features of dependent package
directives that don't make sense for :mod:`repoze.bfg`.
Note that currently the set of requirements necessary to use bfg
has not changed. This is due to inappropriate Zope package
requirements in ``chameleon.zpt``, which will hopefully be
remedied soon.
- BFG applications written prior to this release which expect the
"stock" ``zope.component`` ZCML directive implementations
(e.g. ``adapter``, ``subscriber``, or ``utility``) to function now
must either 1) include the ``meta.zcml`` file from
``zope.component`` manually (e.g. ``<include
package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">``) and include the
``zope.security`` package as an ``install_requires`` dependency or
2) change the ZCML in their applications to use the declarations
from `repoze.zcml <http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs/>`_ instead
of the stock declarations. ``repoze.zcml`` only makes available
the ``adapter``, ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives.
- The ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` XML namespace is now the
default XML namespace in ZCML for paster-generated applications.
- The copies of BFG's ``meta.zcml`` and ``configure.zcml`` were
removed from the root of the ``repoze.bfg`` package. In 0.3.6, a
new package named ``repoze.bfg.includes`` was added, which
contains the "correct" copies of these ZCML files; the ones that
were removed were for backwards compatibility purposes.
Other
- The minimum requirement for ``chameleon.core`` is now 1.0b13. The
minimum requirement for ``chameleon.zpt`` is now 1.0b7. The
minimum requirement for ``chameleon.genshi`` is now 1.0b2.

- 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``).
|
|
- 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``.

- 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.
