2010-08-13- The Configurator now accepts a dotted name *string* to a package asChris McDonough
a ``package`` constructor argument. The ``package`` argument was previously required to be a package *object* (not a dotted name string). - The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.with_package`` method was added. This method returns a new Configurator using the same application registry as the configurator object it is called upon. The new configurator is created afresh with its ``package`` constructor argument set to the value passed to ``with_package``. This feature will make it easier for future BFG versions to allow dotted names as arguments in places where currently only object references are allowed (the work to allow dotted names isntead of object references everywhere has not yet been done, however). - The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.maybe_dotted`` method resolves a Python dotted name string supplied as its ``dotted`` argument to a global Python object. If the value cannot be resolved, a ``repoze.bfg.configuration.ConfigurationError`` is raised. If the value supplied as ``dotted`` is not a string, the value is returned unconditionally without any resolution attempted.

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.

exist" meaning, temporally, a view was added with a route name for a route which had not yet been added via add_route), the value of the ``custom_predicate`` argument to ``add_view`` was lost. Symptom: wrong view matches when using URL dispatch and custom view predicates together.

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- 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.
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.
2010-07-15FeaturesChris McDonough
-------- - 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``.
2010-07-13docs tweaksChris McDonough
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.
2010-07-12- Fix regression inChris McDonough
``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. Before 1.3a4, view names that contained a slash were supported as route prefixes. 1.3a4 broke this by trying to treat them as full URLs.

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.

2010-06-30- In earlier versions, a custom route predicate associated with a urlChris McDonough
dispatch route (each of the predicate functions fed to the ``custom_predicates`` argument of ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``) has always required a 2-positional argument signature, e.g. ``(context, request)``. Before this release, the ``context`` argument was always ``None``. As of this release, the first argument passed to a predicate is now a dictionary conventionally named ``info`` consisting of ``match``, ``route``, and ``mapper``. ``match`` is a dictionary: it represents the arguments matched in the URL by the route. ``route`` is an object representing the route that matched. ``mapper`` is the url dispatch route mapper object. This is useful when predicates need access to the route match. For example:: def any_of(segment_name, *args): def predicate(info, request): if info['match'][segment_name] in args: return True num_one_two_or_three = any_of('num, 'one', 'two', 'three') add_route('/:num', custom_predicates=(num_one_two_or_three,))

-------- - A locale negotiator no longer needs to be registered explicitly. The default locale negotiator at ``repoze.bfg.i18n.default_locale_negotiator`` is now used unconditionally as... um, the default locale negotiator. - The default locale negotiator has become more complex. * First, the negotiator looks for the ``_LOCALE_`` attribute of the request object (possibly set by an :term:`event listener`). * Then it looks for the ``request.params['_LOCALE_']`` value. * Then it looks for the ``request.cookies['_LOCALE_']`` value. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The default locale negotiator now looks for the parameter named ``_LOCALE_`` rather than a parameter named ``locale`` in ``request.params``. Behavior Changes ---------------- - A locale negotiator may now return ``None``, signifying that the default locale should be used. Documentation ------------- - Documentation concerning locale negotiation in the Internationalizationa and Localization chapter was updated.
