2009-06-01Use package name.Chris McDonough
2009-05-31Get rid of factory.Chris McDonough
2009-05-31Add a setup.cfg that includes coverage info.Chris McDonough
2009-05-31- The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template now provides a unit testChris McDonough
and actually uses the database during a view rendering.
2009-05-31- The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts ``request_type`` as anChris McDonough
alias for its ``condition_method`` argument for symmetry with the ``view`` directive.
2009-05-31Test string request type in bfg_view decorators.Chris McDonough
2009-05-31- The ``request_type`` argument of ZCML ``view`` declarations andChris McDonough
``bfg_view`` decorators can now be one of the strings ``GET``, ``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``, or ``HEAD`` instead of a reference to the respective interface type imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``.
2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``,Chris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``. These classes were disused with the introduction of the ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery.
2009-05-31- Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used inChris McDonough
unit tests.
2009-05-31- The error presented when a view invoked by the router returns aChris McDonough
non-response object now includes the view's name for troubleshooting purposes. - A "new response" event is emitted for forbiden and notfound views.
2009-05-31FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - It is now possible to register a custom ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` for a given application. This feature replaces the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` feature previously described in the Hooks chapter. The INotFoundView will be called when the framework detects that a view lookup done as a result of a reqest fails; it should accept a context object and a request object; it should return an IResponse object (a webob response, basically). See the Hooks narrative chapter of the BFG docs for more info. Deprecations ------------ - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been deprecated in favor of using the new ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` mechanism.
2009-05-31- Renamed ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` toChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView``.
2009-05-30- Remove "context" argument from ``effective_principals`` andChris McDonough
``authenticated_userid`` function APIs in ``repoze.bfg.security``, effectively a doing reversion to 0.8 and before behavior. Both functions now again accept only the ``request`` parameter.
2009-05-30Docs renderings.Chris McDonough
2009-05-30- Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrievesChris McDonough
credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info. - Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for more info.
2009-05-28- Add a ``get_app`` API functions to the ``paster`` module. ThisChris McDonough
obtains a WSGI application from a config file given a config file name and a section name. See the ``repoze.bfg.paster`` API docs for more information. - Add a new module named ``scripting``. It contains a ``get_root`` API function, which, provided a Router instance, returns a traversal root object and a "closer". See the ``repoze.bfg.scripting`` API docs for more info.
2009-05-28- Try checking for an "old style" security policy *after* we parseChris McDonough
ZCML (thinko).
2009-05-27- Removed backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` now. - Removed backwards compatibility alias for ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). This must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.ZPTTemplateRenderer`` now.
2009-05-27Unused import.Chris McDonough
2009-05-27- Allow IAuthenticationPolicy and IAuthorizationPolicy to beChris McDonough
overridden via ZCML registrations (do ZCML parsing after registering these in router.py).
2009-05-27- Added deprecations for imports of ``ACLSecurityPolicy``,Chris McDonough
``InheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``, and ``WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy`` from the ``repoze.bfg.security`` module; for the meantime (for backwards compatibility purposes) these live in the ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` module. Note however, that the entire concept of a "security policy" is deprecated in BFG in favor of separate authentication and authorization policies, so any use of a security policy will generate additional deprecation warnings even if you do start using ``repoze.bfg.secpols``. ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` will disappear in a future release of ``repoze.bfg``.
2009-05-27- Remove ``repoze.bfg.template`` module. All imports from thisChris McDonough
package have been deprecated since version 0.3.8. Instead, import ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and ``render_template_to_response`` from the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt``module.
2009-05-27- Remove backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). This must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path``).
2009-05-27- Remove backwards compatibility alias forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` (deprecated since 0.6.3). This must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``.
2009-05-27- Removed backwards compatibility aliases forChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.router.get_options`` and ``repoze.bfg.router.Settings`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). These both must now be imported from ``repoze.bfg.settings``.

2009-05-27Need a period.Chris McDonough
2009-05-27- A paster command has been added named "bfgshell". This command canChris McDonough
be used to get an interactive prompt with your BFG root object in the global namespace. E.g.:: bin/paster bfgshell /path/to/myapp.ini myapp See the ``Project`` chapter in the BFG documentation for more information.

2009-05-25IForbiddenAppFactory -> IForbiddenResponseFactory.Chris McDonough
2009-05-25Change the semantics of IForbiddenAppFactory.Chris McDonough
2009-05-24FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - It is now possible to write a custom security policy that returns a customized ``Forbidden`` WSGI application when BFG cannot authorize an invocation of a view. To this end, ISecurityPolicy objects must now have a ``forbidden`` method. This method should return a WSGI application. The returned WSGI application should generate a response which is appropriate when access to a view resource was forbidden by the security policy (e.g. perhaps a login page). ``repoze.bfg`` is willing to operate with a custom security policy that does not have a ``forbidden`` method, but it will issue a warning; eventually security policies without a ``forbidden`` method will cease to work under ``repoze.bfg``. Note that the ``forbidden`` WSGI application returned by the security policy is not used if a developer has registered an IForbiddenAppFactory (see the "Hooks" narrative chapter); the explicitly registered IForbiddenAppFactory will be preferred over the (more general) security policy forbidden app factory. - All default security policies now have a ``forbidden`` callable attached to them. This particular callable returns a WSGI application which generates a ``401 Unauthorized`` response for backwards compatibility (had backwards compatibility not been an issue, this callable would have returned a WSGI app that generated a ``403 Forbidden`` response). Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Custom NotFound and Forbidden (nee' Unauthorized) WSGI applications (registered a a utility for INotFoundAppFactory and IUnauthorizedAppFactory) could rely on an environment key named ``message`` describing the circumstance of the response. This key has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.message`` (as per the WSGI spec, which requires environment extensions to contain dots). Deprecations ------------ - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenAppFactory``.
2009-05-24Simplify constructor.Chris McDonough
2009-05-21- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML andChris McDonough
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.
2009-05-21Remove cacheability voodoo.Chris McDonough
2009-05-21- Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wroteChris McDonough
``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.
2009-05-20Docs tweak.Chris McDonough
2009-05-18Fix typo in docstring.Chris Rossi
2009-05-18FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - 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.

2009-05-16Don't do an alsoProvides if it's already a default routes context.Chris McDonough
2009-05-16- The ``RoutesMapper`` class in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch`` has beenChris McDonough
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.
