Next release ============ Features -------- - Added a ``prequest`` script (along the lines of ``paster request``). It is documented in the "Command-Line Pyramid" chapter in the section entitled "Invoking a Request". Bug Fixes --------- - Normalized exit values and ``-h`` output for all ``p*`` scripts (``pviews``, ``proutes``, etc). Documentation ------------- - Added a section named "Making Your Script into a Console Script" in the "Command-Line Pyramid" chapter. 1.3a2 (2011-12-14) ================== Features -------- - New API: ``pyramid.view.view_defaults``. If you use a class as a view, you can use the new ``view_defaults`` class decorator on the class to provide defaults to the view configuration information used by every ``@view_config`` decorator that decorates a method of that class. It also works against view configurations involving a class made imperatively. - Added a backwards compatibility knob to ``pcreate`` to emulate ``paster create`` handling for the ``--list-templates`` option. - Changed scaffolding machinery around a bit to make it easier for people who want to have extension scaffolds that can work across Pyramid 1.0.X, 1.1.X, 1.2.X and 1.3.X. See the new "Creating Pyramid Scaffolds" chapter in the narrative documentation for more info. Documentation ------------- - Added documentation to "View Configuration" narrative documentation chapter about ``view_defaults`` class decorator. - Added API docs for ``view_defaults`` class decorator. - Added an API docs chapter for ``pyramid.scaffolds``. - Added a narrative docs chapter named "Creating Pyramid Scaffolds". Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``template_renderer`` method of ``pyramid.scaffolds.PyramidScaffold`` was renamed to ``render_template``. If you were overriding it, you're a bad person, because it wasn't an API before now. But we're nice so we're letting you know. 1.3a1 (2011-12-09) ================== Features -------- - Python 3.2 compatibility. - New ``pyramid.compat`` module and API documentation which provides Python 2/3 straddling support for Pyramid add-ons and development environments. - A ``mako.directories`` setting is no longer required to use Mako templates Rationale: Mako template renderers can be specified using an absolute asset spec. An entire application can be written with such asset specs, requiring no ordered lookup path. - ``bpython`` interpreter compatibility in ``pshell``. See the "Command-Line Pyramid" narrative docs chapter for more information. - Added ``get_appsettings`` API function to the ``pyramid.paster`` module. This function returns the settings defined within an ``[app:...]`` section in a PasteDeploy ini file. - Added ``setup_logging`` API function to the ``pyramid.paster`` module. This function sets up Python logging according to the logging configuration in a PasteDeploy ini file. - Configuration conflict reporting is reported in a more understandable way ("Line 11 in file..." vs. a repr of a tuple of similar info). - A configuration introspection system was added; see the narrative documentation chapter entitled "Pyramid Configuration Introspection" for more information. New APIs: ``pyramid.registry.Introspectable``, ``pyramid.config.Configurator.introspector``, ``pyramid.config.Configurator.introspectable``, ``pyramid.registry.Registry.introspector``. - Allow extra keyword arguments to be passed to the ``pyramid.config.Configurator.action`` method. - New APIs: ``pyramid.path.AssetResolver`` and ``pyramid.path.DottedNameResolver``. The former can be used to resolve asset specifications, the latter can be used to resolve dotted names to modules or packages. Bug Fixes --------- - Make test suite pass on 32-bit systems; closes #286. closes #306. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/286 - The ``pryamid.view.view_config`` decorator did not accept a ``match_params`` predicate argument. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/308 - The AuthTktCookieHelper could potentially generate Unicode headers inappropriately when the ``tokens`` argument to remember was used. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/314. - The AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy did not use a timing-attack-aware string comparator. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/320 for more info. - The DummySession in ``pyramid.testing`` now generates a new CSRF token if one doesn't yet exist. - ``request.static_url`` now generates URL-quoted URLs when fed a ``path`` argument which contains characters that are unsuitable for URLs. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/349 for more info. - Prevent a scaffold rendering from being named ``site`` (conflicts with Python internal site.py). - Support for using instances as targets of the ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp`` and ``pryramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` functions. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/370 for more info. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Pyramid no longer runs on Python 2.5 (which includes the most recent release of Jython and the Python 2.5 version of GAE as of this writing). - The ``paster`` command is no longer the documented way to create projects, start the server, or run debugging commands. To create projects from scaffolds, ``paster create`` is replaced by the ``pcreate`` console script. To serve up a project, ``paster serve`` is replaced by the ``pserve`` console script. New console scripts named ``pshell``, ``pviews``, ``proutes``, and ``ptweens`` do what their ``paster `` equivalents used to do. Rationale: the Paste and PasteScript packages do not run under Python 3. - The default WSGI server run as the result of ``pserve`` from newly rendered scaffolding is now the ``wsgiref`` WSGI server instead of the ``paste.httpserver`` server. Rationale: Rationale: the Paste and PasteScript packages do not run under Python 3. - The ``pshell`` command (see "paster pshell") no longer accepts a ``--disable-ipython`` command-line argument. Instead, it accepts a ``-p`` or ``--python-shell`` argument, which can be any of the values ``python``, ``ipython`` or ``bpython``. - Removed the ``pyramid.renderers.renderer_from_name`` function. It has been deprecated since Pyramid 1.0, and was never an API. - To use ZCML with versions of Pyramid >= 1.3, you will need ``pyramid_zcml`` version >= 0.8 and ``zope.configuration`` version >= 3.8.0. The ``pyramid_zcml`` package version 0.8 is backwards compatible all the way to Pyramid 1.0, so you won't be warned if you have older versions installed and upgrade Pyramid "in-place"; it may simply break instead. Dependencies ------------ - Pyramid no longer depends on the ``zope.component`` package, except as a testing dependency. - Pyramid now depends on a zope.interface>=3.8.0, WebOb>=1.2dev, repoze.lru>=0.4, zope.deprecation>=3.5.0, translationstring>=0.4 (for Python 3 compatibility purposes). It also, as a testing dependency, depends on WebTest>=1.3.1 for the same reason. - Pyramid no longer depends on the Paste or PasteScript packages. Documentation ------------- - The SQLAlchemy Wiki tutorial has been updated. It now uses ``@view_config`` decorators and an explicit database population script. - Minor updates to the ZODB Wiki tutorial. - A narrative documentation chapter named "Extending Pyramid Configuration" was added; it describes how to add a new directive, and how use the ``pyramid.config.Configurator.action`` method within custom directives. It also describes how to add introspectable objects. - A narrative documentation chapter named "Pyramid Configuration Introspection" was added. It describes how to query the introspection system. Scaffolds --------- - Rendered scaffolds have now been changed to be more relocatable (fewer mentions of the package name within files in the package). - The ``routesalchemy`` scaffold has been renamed ``alchemy``, replacing the older (traversal-based) ``alchemy`` scaffold (which has been retired). - The ``starter`` scaffold now uses URL dispatch by default.
