2010-11-09- All references to Pyramid-the-application were changed from :mod:`pyramid`Chris McDonough
to :app:`Pyramid`. A custom role setting was added to ``docs/conf.py`` to allow for this. (internal)

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``.
2010-07-23- New argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``Chris McDonough
and the ``route`` ZCML directive: ``traverse``. If you would like to cause the ``context`` to be something other than the ``root`` object when this route matches, you can spell a traversal pattern as the ``traverse`` argument. This traversal pattern will be used as the traversal path: traversal will begin at the root object implied by this route (either the global root, or the object returned by the ``factory`` associated with this route). The syntax of the ``traverse`` argument is the same as it is for ``path``. For example, if the ``path`` provided is ``articles/:article/edit``, and the ``traverse`` argument provided is ``/:article``, when a request comes in that causes the route to match in such a way that the ``article`` match value is '1' (when the request URI is ``/articles/1/edit``), the traversal path will be generated as ``/1``. This means that the root object's ``__getitem__`` will be called with the name ``1`` during the traversal phase. If the ``1`` object exists, it will become the ``context`` of the request. The Traversal narrative has more information about traversal. If the traversal path contains segment marker names which are not present in the path argument, a runtime error will occur. The ``traverse`` pattern should not contain segment markers that do not exist in the ``path``. A similar combining of routing and traversal is available when a route is matched which contains a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in its path. The ``traverse`` argument allows you to associate route patterns with an arbitrary traversal path without using a a ``*traverse`` remainder marker; instead you can use other match information. Note that the ``traverse`` argument is ignored when attached to a route that has a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in its path.

``view_path_info``, ``view_request_method``, ``view_request_param``, and ``view_containment`` predicate arguments from the ``Configurator.add_route`` argument list. These arguments were speculative. If you need the features exposed by these arguments, add a view associated with a route using the ``route_name`` argument to the ``add_view`` method instead. - Remove ``view_header``, ``view_accept``, ``view_xhr``, ``view_path_info``, ``view_request_method``, ``view_request_param``, and ``view_containment`` predicate arguments from the ``route`` ZCML directive attribute set. These attributes were speculative. If you need the features exposed by these attributes, add a view associated with a route using the ``route_name`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive instead.

2010-01-19Bug FixesChris McDonough
--------- - When the ``Configurator`` is passed an instance of ``zope.component.registry.Components`` as a ``registry`` constructor argument, fix the instance up to have the attributes we expect of an instance of ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` when ``setup_registry`` is called. This makes it possible to use the global Zope component registry as a BFG application registry. Documentation ------------- - Change renderings of ZCML directive documentation. - Add a narrative documentation chapter: "Using the Zope Component Architecture in ``repoze.bfg``"
