2010-07-21- A new internal exception class (*not* an API) namedChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` now exists. This exception is currently raised when no constituent view of a multiview can be called (due to no predicate match). Previously, in this situation, a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` was raised. We provide backwards compatibility for code that expected a ``NotFound`` to be raised when no predicates match by causing ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` to inherit from ``NotFound``. This will cause any exception view registered for ``NotFound`` to be called when a predicate mismatch occurs, as was the previous behavior. There is however, one perverse case that will expose a backwards incompatibility. If 1) you had a view that was registered as a member of a multiview 2) this view explicitly raised a ``NotFound`` exception *in order to* proceed to the next predicate check in the multiview, that code will now behave differently: rather than skipping to the next view match, a NotFound will be raised to the top-level exception handling machinery instead. For code to be depending upon the behavior of a view raising ``NotFound`` to proceed to the next predicate match, would be tragic, but not impossible, given that ``NotFound`` is a public interface. ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` is not a public API and cannot be depended upon by application code, so you should not change your view code to raise ``PredicateMismatch``. Instead, move the logic which raised the ``NotFound`` exception in the view out into a custom view predicate.
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.
2010-04-25Make default_notfound_view and default_forbidden_view expect an exception asChris McDonough
a context. Cause append_slash_notfound_view to work in case it is registered via set_notfound_view.

2009-12-09- The exception class representing the error raised by various methodsChris McDonough
of a ``Configurator`` is now importable as ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.ConfigurationError``.

2009-09-30- The import of ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` is deprecated in favor ofChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``. The old location still functions, but emits a deprecation warning. - The import of ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` is deprecated in favor of ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``. The old location still functions but emits a deprecation warning. The rename from ``Unauthorized`` to ``Forbidden`` brings parity to the the name of the exception and the system view it invokes when raised. - New ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module was created to house exceptions that were previously sprinkled through various modules. - An ``exceptions`` API chapter was added, documenting the new ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module.
