via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class
decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view
callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser
view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters
(conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting
instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method).
When called, the instance should return a response. For example::
from webob import Response
class MyView(object):
def __init__(self, context, request):
self.context = context
self.request = request
def __call__(self):
return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the
``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.

``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in
projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache
file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between
imperative (e.g. ``@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative
registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same
project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML
files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only
about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1
ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes
even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast
that it really just didn't matter anyway.

--------
- Added a ``traverse`` function to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal``
module. This function may be used to retrieve certain values
computed during path resolution. See the Traversal API chapter of
the documentation for more information about this function.
Deprecations
------------
- Internal: ``ITraverser`` callables should now return a dictionary
rather than a tuple. Up until 0.7.0, all ITraversers were assumed
to return a 3-tuple. In 0.7.1, ITraversers were assumed to return a
6-tuple. As (by evidence) it's likely we'll need to add further
information to the return value of an ITraverser callable, 0.8
assumes that an ITraverser return a dictionary with certain elements
in it. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` interface for
the list of keys that should be present in the dictionary.
``ITraversers`` which return tuples will still work, although a
deprecation warning will be issued.
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
- If your code used the ITraverser interface directly (not via an API
function such as ``find_model``) via an adapter lookup, you'll need
to change your code to expect a dictionary rather than a 3- or
6-tuple if your code ever gets return values from the default
ModelGraphTraverser or RoutesModelTraverser adapters.

removed, as well as its documentation. It had been deprecated since
0.6.3. Code in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``
which catered to it has also been removed.
- The semantics of the ``route`` ZCML directive have been simplified.
Previously, it was assumed that to use a route, you wanted to map a
route to an externally registered view. The new ``route`` directive
instead has a ``view`` attribute which is required, specifying the
dotted path to a view callable. When a route directive is
processed, a view is *registered* using the name attribute of the
route directive as its name and the callable as its value. The
``view_name`` and ``provides`` attributes of the ``route`` directive
are therefore no longer used. Effectively, if you were previously
using the ``route`` directive, it means you must change a pair of
ZCML directives that look like this::
<route
name="home"
path=""
view_name="login"
factory=".models.root.Root"
/>
<view
for=".models.root.Root"
name="login"
view=".views.login_view"
/>
To a ZCML directive that looks like this::
<route
name="home"
path=""
view=".views.login_view"
factory=".models.root.Root"
/>
In other words, to make old code work, remove the ``view``
directives that were only there to serve the purpose of backing
``route`` directives, and move their ``view=`` attribute into the
``route`` directive itself.
This change also necessitated that the ``name`` attribute of the
``route`` directive is now required. If you were previously using
``route`` directives without a ``name`` attribute, you'll need to
add one (the name is arbitrary, but must be unique among all
``route`` and ``view`` statements).
The ``provides`` attribute of the ``route`` directive has also been
removed. This directive specified a sequence of interface types
that the generated context would be decorated with. Since route
views are always generated now for a single interface
(``repoze.bfg.IRoutesContext``) as opposed to being looked up
arbitrarily, there is no need to decorate any context to ensure a
view is found.
- The Routes ``Route`` object used to resolve the match is now put
into the environment as ``bfg.route`` when URL dispatch is used.

- 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"
/>

tests can still use that function indefinitely. However, for
maximum forward compatibility, they should import ``cleanUp`` from
``repoze.bfg.testing`` instead of from ``zope.testing.cleanup``.
The BFG paster templates and docs have been changed to use this
function instead of the ``zope.testing.cleanup`` version.

``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and
``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` functions always ignored
the ``__name__`` argument of the root object in a model graph (
effectively replacing it with a leading ``/`` in the returned value)
when a path or URL was generated. The code required to perform this
operation was not efficient. As of this release, the root object in
a model graph *must* have a ``__name__`` attribute that is either
``None`` or the empty string (``''``) for URLs and paths to be
generated properly from these APIs. If your root model object has a
``__name__`` argument that is not one of these values, you will need
to change your code for URLs and paths to be generated properly. If
your model graph has a root node with a string ``__name__`` that is
not null, the value of ``__name__`` will be prepended to every path
and URL generated.

``repoze.bfg.location.ClassAndInstanceDescr`` class have both been
removed in order to be able to eventually shed a dependency on
``zope.proxy``. Neither of these classes was ever an API.
- In all previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.location.locate``
function worked like so: if a model did not explicitly provide the
``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, ``locate`` returned a
``LocationProxy`` object representing ``model`` with its
``__parent__`` attribute assigned to ``parent`` and a ``__name__``
attribute assigned to ``__name__``. In this release, the
``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` function simply jams the ``__name__``
and ``__parent__`` attributes on to the supplied model
unconditionally, no matter if the object implements ILocation or
not, and it never returns a proxy. This was done because the
LocationProxy behavior has now moved into an add-on package
(``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper``), in order to eventually be able to
shed a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
- In all previous releases, by default, if traversal was used (as
opposed to URL-dispatch), and the root object supplied
the``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, but the children
returned via its ``__getitem__`` returned an object that did not
implement the same interface, :mod:`repoze.bfg` provided some
implicit help during traversal. This traversal feature wrapped
subobjects from the root (and thereafter) that did not implement
``ILocation`` in proxies which automatically provided them with a
``__name__`` and ``__parent__`` attribute based on the name being
traversed and the previous object traversed. This feature has now
been removed from the base ``repoze.bfg`` package for purposes of
eventually shedding a dependency on ``zope.proxy``.
In order to re-enable the wrapper behavior for older applications
which cannot be changed, register the "traversalwrapper"
``ModelGraphTraverser`` as the traversal policy, rather than the
default ``ModelGraphTraverser``. To use this feature, you will need
to install the ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` package (an add-on
package, available at
http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper) Then change your
application's ``configure.zcml`` to include the following stanza:
<adapter
factory="repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper.ModelGraphTraverser"
provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverserFactory"
for="*"
/>
When this ITraverserFactory is used instead of the default, no
object in the graph (even the root object) must supply a
``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` attribute. Even if subobjects
returned from the root *do* implement the ILocation interface,
these will still be wrapped in proxies that override the object's
"real" ``__parent__`` and ``__name__`` attributes.
See also changes to the "Models" chapter of the documentation (in
the "Location-Aware Model Instances") section.

ILocation. Make WrappingModelGraphTraverser assume that *no* traversed objects provide ILocation. This makes it unnecessary to explain why the root object in a WrappingModelGraphTraverser setup needs to supply the ILocation interface. Now it doesn't.

built-in implementations that implement the interface
(``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser``, and
``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``) now expect the
``__call__`` method of an ITraverser to return 3 additional
arguments: ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
``virtual_root_path`` (the old contract was that the ``__call__``
method of an ITraverser returned; three arguments, the contract new
is that it returns six). ``traversed`` will be a sequence of
Unicode names that were traversed (including the virtual root path,
if any) or ``None`` if no traversal was performed, ``virtual_root``
will be a model object representing the virtual root (or the
physical root if traversal was not performed), and
``virtual_root_path`` will be a sequence representing the virtual
root path (a sequence of Unicode names) or ``None`` if traversal was
not performed.
Six arguments are now returned from BFG ITraversers. They are
returned in this order: ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``,
``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and ``virtual_root_path``.
Places in the BFG code which called an ITraverser continue to accept
a 3-argument return value, although BFG will generate and log a
warning when one is encountered.
- The request object now has the following attributes: ``traversed``
(the sequence of names traversed or ``None`` if traversal was not
performed), ``virtual_root`` (the model object representing the
virtual root, including the virtual root path if any), and
``virtual_root_path`` (the seuquence of names representing the
virtual root path or ``None`` if traversal was not performed).
- A new decorator named ``wsgiapp2`` was added to the
``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module. This decorator performs the same
function as ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` except it fixes up the
``SCRIPT_NAME``, and ``PATH_INFO`` environment values before
invoking the WSGI subapplication.
- The ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyRequest`` object now has default
attributes for ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and
``virtual_root_path``.
- The RoutesModelTraverser now behaves more like the Routes
"RoutesMiddleware" object when an element in the match dict is named
``path_info`` (usually when there's a pattern like
``http://foo/*path_info``). When this is the case, the
``PATH_INFO`` environment variable is set to the value in the match
dict, and the ``SCRIPT_NAME`` is appended to with the prefix of the
original ``PATH_INFO`` not including the value of the new variable.
- The notfound debug now shows the traversed path, the virtual root,
and the virtual root path too.

the request machinery will attempt to decode values from the utf-8
encoding to Unicode automatically when they are obtained via
``request.params``, ``request.GET``, and ``request.POST``. The
previous behavior of BFG was to return a bytestring when a value was
accessed in this manner. This change will break form handling code
in apps that rely on values from those APIs being considered
bytestrings. If you are manually decoding values from form
submissions in your application, you'll either need to change the
code that does that to expect Unicode values from
``request.params``, ``request.GET`` and ``request.POST``, or you'll
need to explicitly reenable the previous behavior. To reenable the
previous behavior, add the following to your application's
``configure.zcml``::
<subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewRequest"
handler="repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii"/>
See also the documentation in the "Views" chapter of the BFG docs
entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and
Character Set Issues)".
