2010-09-08- The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` constructor (not an API) nowChris McDonough
accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper.connect`` method (not an API) now accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now has a ``get_route`` method which returns a single Route object or ``None``. - A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoute`` was added. The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` object implements this interface. - The canonical attribute for accessing the routing pattern from a route object is now ``pattern`` rather than ``path``. - The argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` which was previously called ``path`` is now called ``pattern`` for better explicability. For backwards compatibility purposes, passing a keyword argument named ``path`` to ``add_route`` will still work indefinitely. - The ``path`` attribute to the ZCML ``route`` directive is now named ``pattern`` for better explicability. The older ``path`` attribute will continue to work indefinitely. - All narrative, API, and tutorial docs which referred to a route pattern as a ``path`` have now been updated to refer to them as a ``pattern``. - The routesalchemy template has been updated to use ``pattern`` in its route declarations rather than ``path``.

2010-07-24Remove match_val feature: it's a pretty nuisanceChris McDonough
2010-07-15FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - New view predicate: match_val. The ``match_val`` value represents the presence of a value in the structure added to the request named ``matchdict`` during URL dispatch representing the match values from the route pattern (e.g. if the route pattern has ``:foo`` in it, and the route matches, a key will exist in the matchdict named ``foo``). Like all other view predicates, this feature is exposed via the ``bfg_view`` API, the Configurator ``add_view`` API, and the ZCML ``view`` directive. Documentation ------------- - API documentation for the ``add_view`` method of the configurator changed to include ``match_val``. - ZCML documentation for ``view`` ZCML directive changed to include ``match_val``. - The ``Views`` narrative chapter now contains a description of the ``match_val`` predicate. Bug Fixes --------- - The ``header`` predicate (when used as either a view predicate or a route predicate) had a problem when specified with a name/regex pair. When the header did not exist in the headers dictionary, the regex match could be fed ``None``, causing it to throw a ``TypeError: expected string or buffer`` exception. Now, the predicate returns False as intended. Internal -------- - Remove ``repoze.bfg.configuration.isclass`` function in favor of using ``inspect.isclass``.

-------- - The ``Configurator.add_view`` method now accepts an argument named ``context``. This is an alias for the older argument named ``for_``; it is preferred over ``for_``, but ``for_`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``view`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named ``context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named ``for``; it is preferred over ``for``, but ``for`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``Configurator.add_route`` method now accepts an argument named ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older argument named ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` will continue to be supported "forever". - The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` will continue to be supported "forever". Documentation and Paster Templates ---------------------------------- - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_view`` method that used its ``for_`` argument now use the ``context``argument instead. - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_route`` method that used its ``view_for`` argument now use the ``view_context``argument instead. - All uses of the ``view`` ZCML directive that used its ``for`` attribute now use the ``context`` attribute instead. - All uses of the ``route`` ZCML directive that used its ``view_for`` attribute now use the ``view_context`` attribute instead.

2009-12-10- Added a "Special Exceptions" section to the "Views" narrativeChris McDonough
documentation chapter explaining the effect of raising ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` from within view code. - When the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` error is raised from within a custom root factory or the ``factory`` of a route, the appropriate response is now sent to the requesting user agent (the result of the notfound view or the forbidden view, respectively). When these errors are raised from within a root factory, the ``context`` passed to the notfound or forbidden view will be ``None``. Also, the request will not be decorated with ``view_name``, ``subpath``, ``context``, etc. as would normally be the case if traversal had been allowed to take place.
