2009-01-16- Add a section on "Using BFG Security With URL Dispatch" into theChris McDonough
urldispatch chapter of the documentation. Clean up "BFG" vernacular (replace with repoze.bfg).

2009-01-12- An interface specific to the HTTP verb (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) isChris McDonough
attached to each request object on ingress. The HTTP-verb-related interfaces are defined in ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` and are ``IGETRequest``, ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``, ``IDELETERequest`` and ``IHEADRequest``. These interfaces can be specified as the ``request_type`` attribute of a bfg view declaration. A view naming a specific HTTP-verb-matching interface will be found only if the view is defined with a request_type that matches the HTTP verb in the incoming request. The more general ``IRequest`` interface can be used as the request_type to catch all requests (and this is indeed the default). All requests implement ``IRequest``. The HTTP-verb-matching idea was pioneered by `repoze.bfg.restrequest <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.bfg.restrequest/1.0.1>`_ . That package is no longer required, but still functions fine.
2009-01-06 - A ``static`` helper class was added to the ``repoze.bfg.views``Chris McDonough
module. Instances of this class are willing to act as BFG views which return static resources using files on disk. See the :mod:`repoze.bfg.view` docs for more info.

2008-12-21 Backwards Incompatibilities (Major)Chris McDonough
- 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.

2008-11-14 - Document view registrations against classes andChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.convention`` in context.
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.
