2008-12-17 - In the past, during traversal, the ModelGraphTraverser (theChris McDonough
default traverser) always passed each URL path segment to any ``__getitem__`` method of a model object as a byte string (a ``str`` object). Now, by default the ModelGraphTraverser attempts to decode the path segment to Unicode (a ``unicode`` object) using the UTF-8 encoding before passing it to the ``__getitem__`` method of a model object. This makes it possible for model objects to be dumber in ``__getitem__`` when trying to resolve a subobject, as model objects themselves no longer need to try to divine whether or not to try to decode the path segment passed by the traverser. Note that since 0.5.4, URLs generated by repoze.bfg's ``model_url`` API will contain UTF-8 encoded path segments as necessary, so any URL generated by BFG itself will be decodeable by the traverser. If another application generates URLs to a BFG application, to be resolved successully, it should generate the URL with UTF-8 encoded path segments to be successfully resolved. The decoder is not at all magical: if a non-UTF-8-decodeable path segment (e.g. one encoded using UTF-16 or some other insanity) is passed in the URL, BFG will raise a ``TypeError`` with a message indicating it could not decode the path segment. To turn on the older behavior, where path segments were not decoded to Unicode before being passed to model object ``__getitem__`` by the traverser, and were passed as a raw byte string, set the ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration setting to a false value in your BFG application's section of the paste .ini file, for example:: unicode_path_segments = False Or start the application using the ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENT`` envvar set to a false value:: BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS=0
2008-11-02 - Not passing the result of "get_options" as the second argument ofChris McDonough
make_app could cause attribute errors when attempting to look up settings against the ISettings object (internal). Fixed by giving the Settings objects defaults for ``debug_authorization`` and ``debug_notfound``.
2008-11-02 FeaturesChris McDonough
- The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization`` config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the debugger and print statements in your own code. - Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true. - The format of authorization debug messages was improved. - A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain the same debugging information. - ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes. - Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and ``debug_authorization``). Documentation - Added info about debug flag changes. - Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``).
2008-11-01 - Expose a single ILogger named "repoze.bfg.debug" as a utility;Chris McDonough
this logger is registered unconditionally and is used by the authorization debug machinery. Applications may also make use of it as necessary rather than inventing their own logger, for convenience.
2008-10-03 Docs Chris McDonough
- An "Environment and Configuration" chapter was added to the narrative portion of the documentation. Features - Ensure bfg doesn't generate warnings when running under Python 2.6. - The environment variable ``BFG_RELOAD_TEMPLATES`` is now available (serves the same purpose as ``reload_templates`` in the config file). - A new configuration file option ``debug_authorization`` was added. This turns on printing of security authorization debug statements to ``sys.stderr``. The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` environment variable was also added; this performs the same duty. Bug Fixes - The environment variable ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` did not always work. It has been renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` and fixed. Deprecations - A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from the ``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported. Backwards incompatibilities - The ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` environment variable was renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION``.

2008-08-23 - Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored asChris McDonough
``configure.zcml.pck`` next to the applications's "normal" configuration file. A given bfg app will usually start faster if it's able to read the pickle data. It fails gracefully to reading the real ZCML file if it cannot read the pickle.
2008-08-18 - Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry pointChris McDonough
renamed to ``app`` in order to have a different name than the bfg function of the same name, to prevent confusion. - Add "options" processing to bfg's ``make_app`` to support runtime options. A new API function named ``get_options`` was added to the registry module. This function is typically used in an application's ``app`` entry point. The Paste config file section for the app can now supply the ``reload_templates`` option, which, if true, will prevent the need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template changes to be detected. - Use only the module name in generated project's "test_suite" (run all tests found in the package). - Default port for generated apps changed from 5432 to 6543 (Postgres default port is 6543).
