Next release Features - A ``repoze.bfg.location`` API module was added. Backwards incompatibilities - Applications must now use the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface rather than ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` to represent that a model object is "location-aware". We've removed a dependency on ``zope.location`` for cleanliness purposes: as new versions of zope libraries are released which have improved dependency information, getting rid of our dependence on ``zope.location`` will prevent a newly installed repoze.bfg application from requiring the ``zope.security``, egg, which not truly used at all in a "stock" repoze.bfg setup. These dependencies are still required by the stack at this time; this is purely a futureproofing move. The security and model documentation for previous versions of ``repoze.bfg`` recommended using the ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` interface to represent that a model object is "location-aware". This documentation has been changed to reflect that this interface should now be imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` instead. 0.3.8 (08/26/2008) Docs - Documented URL dispatch better in narrative form. Bug fixes - Routes URL dispatch did not have access to the WSGI environment, so conditions such as method=GET did not work. Features - Add ``principals_allowed_by_permission`` API to security module. - Replace ``z3c.pt`` support with support for ``chameleon.zpt``. Chameleon is the new name for the package that used to be named ``z3c.pt``. NOTE: If you update a ``repoze.bfg`` SVN checkout that you're using for development, you will need to run "setup.py install" or "setup.py develop" again in order to obtain the proper Chameleon packages. ``z3c.pt`` is no longer supported by ``repoze.bfg``. All API functions that used to render ``z3c.pt`` templates will work fine with the new packages, and your templates should render almost identically. - Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module. This module provides Chameleon ZPT support. - Add a ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module. This module provides XSLT support. - Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module. This provides direct Genshi support, which did not exist previously. Deprecations - Importing API functions directly from ``repoze.bfg.template`` is now deprecated. The ``get_template``, ``render_template``, ``render_template_to_response`` functions should now be imported from ``repoze.chameleon_zpt``. The ``render_transform``, and ``render_transform_to_response`` functions should now be imported from ``repoze.bfg.xslt``. The ``repoze.bfg.template`` module will remain around "forever" to support backwards compatibility. 0.3.7 (09/09/2008) Features - Add compatibility with z3c.pt 1.0a7+ (z3c.pt became a namespace package). Bug fixes - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` function did not function properly. 0.3.6 (09/04/2008) Features - Add startup process docs. - Allow configuration cache to be bypassed by actions which include special "uncacheable" discriminators (for actions that have variable results). Bug Fixes - Move core repoze.bfg ZCML into a ``repoze.bfg.includes`` package so we can use repoze.bfg better as a namespace package. Adjust the code generator to use it. We've left around the ``configure.zcml`` in the repoze.bfg package directly so as not to break older apps. - When a zcml application registry cache was unpickled, and it contained a reference to an object that no longer existed (such as a view), bfg would not start properly. 0.3.5 (09/01/2008) Features - Event notification is issued after application is created and configured (``IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent``). - New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functions named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable``, ``render_view`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API docs. These features aid programmatic (non-server-driven) view execution. 0.3.4 (08/28/2008) Backwards incompatibilities - Make ``repoze.bfg`` a namespace package so we can allow folks to create subpackages (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.otherthing``) within separate eggs. This is a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to import "make_app" and "get_options" from the ``repoze.bfg`` module directly. This change will break all existing apps generated by the paster code generator. Instead, you need to import these functions as ``repoze.bfg.router:make_app`` and ``repoze.bfg.registry:get_options``, respectively. Sorry folks, it has to be done now or never, and definitely better now. Features - Add ``model_path`` API function to traversal module. Bugfixes - Normalize path returned by repoze.bfg.caller_path. 0.3.3 (8/23/2008) - Fix generated test.py module to use project name rather than package name. 0.3.2 (8/23/2008) - Remove ``sampleapp`` sample application from bfg package itself. - Remove dependency on FormEncode (only needed by sampleapp). - Fix paster template generation so that case-sensitivity is preserved for project vs. package name. - Depend on ``z3c.pt`` version 1.0a1 (which requires the ``[lxml]`` extra currently). - Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored as ``configure.zcml.cache`` 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. 0.3.1 (8/20/2008) - Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry point 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). 0.3.0 - Add ``get_template`` API to template module. 0.2.9 - 0.2.8 was "brown bag" release. It didn't work at all. Symptom: ComponentLookupError when trying to render a page. 0.2.8 - Add ``find_model`` and ``find_root`` traversal APIs. In the process, make ITraverser a uni-adapter (on context) rather than a multiadapter (on context and request). 0.2.7 - Add a ``request_type`` attribute to the available attributes of a ``bfg:view`` configure.zcml element. This attribute will have a value which is a dotted Python path, pointing at an interface. If the request object implements this interface when the view lookup is performed, the appropriate view will be called. This is meant to allow for simple "skinning" of sites based on request type. An event subscriber should attach the interface to the request on ingress to support skins. - Remove "template only" views. These were just confusing and were never documented. - Small url dispatch overhaul: the ``connect`` method of the ``urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now accepts a keyword parameter named ``context_factory``. If this parameter is supplied, it must be a callable which returns an instance. This instance is used as the context for the request when a route is matched. - The registration of a RoutesModelTraverser no longer needs to be performed by the application; it's in the bfg ZCML now. 0.2.6 - Add event sends for INewRequest and INewResponse. See the events.rst chapter in the documentation's ``api`` directory. 0.2.5 - Add ``model_url`` API. 0.2.4 - Added url-based dispatch. 0.2.3 - Add API functions for authenticated_userid and effective_principals. 0.2.2 - Add authenticated_userid and effective_principals API to security policy. 0.2.1 - Add find_interface API. 0.2 - Add wsgiapp decorator. - The concept of "view factories" was removed in favor of always calling a view, which is a callable that returns a response directly (as opposed to returning a view). As a result, the ``factory`` attribute in the bfg:view ZCML statement has been renamed to ``view``. Various interface names were changed also. - ``render_template`` and ``render_transform`` no longer return a Response object. Instead, these return strings. The old behavior can be obtained by using ``render_template_to_response`` and ``render_transform_to_response``. - Added 'repoze.bfg.push:pushpage' decorator, which creates BFG views from callables which take (context, request) and return a mapping of top-level names. - Added ACL-based security. - Support for XSLT templates via a render_transform method 0.1 - Initial release.
