2010-08-08- New public interface: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.IExceptionResponse``.Chris McDonough
This interface is provided by all internal exception classes (such as ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``), instances of which are both exception objects and can behave as WSGI response objects. This interface is made public so that exception classes which are also valid WSGI response factories can be configured to implement them or exception instances which are also or response instances can be configured to provide them. - New API class: ``repoze.bfg.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory`` (undoes previous custom_notfound_view on request passsed to append_slash_notfound_view). - Previously, two default view functions were registered at Configurator setup (one for ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` named ``default_notfound_view`` and one for ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` named ``default_forbidden_view``) to render internal exception responses. Those default view functions have been removed, replaced with a generic default view function which is registered at Configurator setup for the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface that simply returns the exception instance; the ``NotFound` and ``Forbidden`` classes are now still exception factories but they are also response factories which generate instances that implement the new ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface.

-------- - There can only be one Not Found view in any ``repoze.bfg`` application. If you use ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` as the Not Found view, it still must generate a NotFound response when it cannot redirect to a slash-appended URL; this not found response will be visible to site users. As of this release, if you wish to use a custom notfound view callable when ``append_slash_notfound_view`` does not redirect to a slash-appended URL, use a wrapper function as the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` view; have this wrapper attach a view callable which returns a response to the request object named ``custom_notfound_view`` before calling ``append_slash_notfound_view``. For example:: from webob.exc import HTTPNotFound from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound from repoze.bfg.view import append_slash_notfound_view def notfound_view(exc, request): def fallback_notfound_view(exc, request): return HTTPNotFound('It aint there, stop trying!') request.fallback_notfound_view = fallback_notfound_view return append_slash_notfound_view(exc, request) config.add_view(notfound_view, context=NotFound) ``custom_notfound_view`` must adhere to the two-argument view callable calling convention of ``(context, request)`` (``context`` will be the exception object). If ``custom_notfound_view`` is not found on the request object, a default notfound response will be generated when the ``append_slash_notfound_view`` doesn't redirect to a slash-appended URL. Documentation -------------- - Expanded the "Cleaning Up After a Request" section of the URL Dispatch narrative chapter. - Expanded the "Redirecting to Slash-Appended Routes" section of the URL Dispatch narrative chapter.

decorator decorates module-scope functions, which are then treated as event listeners after a scan() is performed. See the Events narrative documentation chapter and the ``repoze.bfg.events`` module documentation for more information.

2010-07-24- A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists:Chris McDonough
``set_request_factory``. If used, this method will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory used by the :mod:`repoze.bfg` router to create all request objects. - The ``Hooks`` narrative chapter now contains a section about changing the request factory.
2010-07-23- The ``Hybrid`` narrative chapter now contains a description of theChris McDonough
``traverse`` route argument. - Fix route ZCML directive to use traverse.
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.

-------- - 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``.

2010-07-12- New internal exception: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``.Chris McDonough
This URL is a subclass of the built-in Python exception named ``UnicodeDecodeError``. - When decoding a URL segment to Unicode fails, the exception raised is now ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` instead of ``UnicodeDecodeError``. This makes it possible to register an exception view invoked specifically when ``repoze.bfg`` cannot decode a URL.

2010-07-02- The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API has changed. If a keywordChris McDonough
``_app_url`` is present in the arguments passed to ``route_url``, this value will be used as the protocol/hostname/port/leading path prefix of the generated URL. For example, using an ``_app_url`` of ``http://example.com:8080/foo`` would cause the URL ``http://example.com:8080/foo/fleeb/flub`` to be returned from this function if the expansion of the route pattern associated with the ``route_name`` expanded to ``/fleeb/flub``. - It is now possible to use a URL as the ``name`` argument fed to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. When the name argument is a URL, the ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API will generate join this URL (as a prefix) to a path including the static file name. This makes it more possible to put static media on a separate webserver for production, while keeping static media package-internal and served by the development webserver during development.
