| CM | 2 | ================== |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Features | |
| 5 | -------- | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - The ``paster`` template named ``bfg_routesalchemy`` has been updated | |
| 8 | to use SQLAlchemy declarative syntax. Thanks to Ergo^. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Bug Fixes | |
| 11 | --------- | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | - When a renderer factory could not be found, a misleading error | |
| 14 | message was raised if the renderer name was not a string. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Documentation | |
| 17 | ------------- | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | - The ""bfgwiki2" (SQLAlchemy + url dispatch) tutorial has been | |
| 20 | updated slightly. In particular, the source packages no longer | |
| 21 | attempt to use a private index, and the recommended Python version | |
| 22 | is now 2.6. It was also updated to take into account the changes to | |
| 23 | the ``bfg_routesalchemy`` template used to set up an environment. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | - The "bfgwiki" (ZODB + traversal) tutorial has been updated slightly. | |
| 26 | In particular, the source packages no longer attempt to use a | |
| 27 | private index, and the recommended Python version is now 2.6. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | 1.3a15 (2010-09-30) | |
| 30 | =================== | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Features | |
| 33 | -------- | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path`` API now eagerly attempts | |
| 36 | to encode a Unicode ``path`` into ASCII before attempting to split | |
| 37 | it and decode its segments. This is for convenience, effectively to | |
| 38 | allow a (stored-as-Unicode-in-a-database, or | |
| 39 | retrieved-as-Unicode-from-a-request-parameter) Unicode path to be | |
| 40 | passed to ``find_model``, which eventually internally uses the | |
| 41 | ``traversal_path`` function under the hood. In version 1.2 and | |
| 42 | prior, if the ``path`` was Unicode, that Unicode was split on | |
| 43 | slashes and each resulting segment value was Unicode. An | |
| 44 | inappropriate call to the ``decode()`` method of a resulting Unicode | |
| 45 | path segment could cause a ``UnicodeDecodeError`` to occur even if | |
| 46 | the Unicode representation of the path contained no 'high order' | |
| 47 | characters (it effectively did a "double decode"). By converting | |
| 48 | the Unicode path argument to ASCII before we attempt to decode and | |
| 49 | split, genuine errors will occur in a more obvious place while also | |
| 50 | allowing us to handle (for convenience) the case that it's a Unicode | |
| 51 | representation formed entirely from ASCII-compatible characters. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | 1.3a14 (2010-09-14) | |
| 54 | =================== | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | Bug Fixes | |
| 57 | --------- | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | - If an exception view was registered through the legacy | |
| 60 | ``set_notfound_view`` or ``set_forbidden_view`` APIs, the context | |
| 61 | sent to the view was incorrect (could be ``None`` inappropriately). | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | Features | |
| 64 | -------- | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | - Compatibility with WebOb 1.0. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | Requirements | |
| 69 | ------------ | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | - Now requires WebOb >= 1.0. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 74 | --------------------------- | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | - Due to changes introduced WebOb 1.0, the | |
| 77 | ``repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii`` event subscriber no longer | |
| 78 | works, so it has been removed. This subscriber was meant to be used | |
| 79 | in a deployment so that code written before BFG 0.7.0 could run | |
| 80 | unchanged. At this point, such code will need to be rewritten to | |
| 81 | expect Unicode from ``request.GET``, ``request.POST`` and | |
| 82 | ``request.params`` or it will need to be changed to use | |
| 83 | ``request.str_POST``, ``request.str_GET`` and/or | |
| 84 | ``request.str_params`` instead of the non-``str`` versions of same, | |
| 85 | as the non-``str`` versions of the same APIs always now perform | |
| 86 | decoding to Unicode. | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | Errata | |
| 89 | ------ | |
| 90 | ||
| 91 | - A prior changelog entry asserted that the ``INewResponse`` event was | |
| 92 | not sent to listeners if the response was not "valid" (if a view or | |
| 93 | renderer returned a response object that did not have a | |
| 94 | status/headers/app_iter). This is not true in this release, nor was | |
| 95 | it true in 1.3a13. | |
| 96 | ||
| 97 | 1.3a13 (2010-09-14) | |
| 98 | =================== | |
| 99 | ||
| 100 | Bug Fixes | |
| 101 | --------- | |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | - The ``traverse`` route predicate could not successfully generate a | |
| 104 | traversal path. | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | Features | |
| 107 | -------- | |
| 108 | ||
| 109 | - In support of making it easier to configure applications which are | |
| 110 | "secure by default", a default permission feature was added. If | |
| 111 | supplied, the default permission is used as the permission string to | |
| 112 | all view registrations which don't otherwise name a permission. | |
| 113 | These APIs are in support of that: | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | - A new constructor argument was added to the Configurator: | |
| 116 | ``default_permission``. | |
| 117 | ||
| 118 | - A new method was added to the Configurator: | |
| 119 | ``set_default_permission``. | |
| 120 | ||
| 121 | - A new ZCML directive was added: ``default_permission``. | |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | - Add a new request API: ``request.add_finished_callback``. Finished | |
| 124 | callbacks are called by the router unconditionally near the very end | |
| 125 | of request processing. See the "Using Finished Callbacks" section | |
| 126 | of the "Hooks" narrative chapter of the documentation for more | |
| 127 | information. | |
| 128 | ||
| 129 | - A ``request.matched_route`` attribute is now added to the request | |
| 130 | when a route has matched. Its value is the "route" object that | |
| 131 | matched (see the ``IRoute`` interface within | |
| 132 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation for the API of a route | |
| 133 | object). | |
| 134 | ||
| 135 | - The ``exception`` attribute of the request is now set slightly | |
| 136 | earlier and in a slightly different set of scenarios, for benefit of | |
| 137 | "finished callbacks" and "response callbacks". In previous | |
| 138 | versions, the ``exception`` attribute of the request was not set at | |
| 139 | all if an exception view was not found. In this version, the | |
| 140 | ``request.exception`` attribute is set immediately when an exception | |
| 141 | is caught by the router, even if an exception view could not be | |
| 142 | found. | |
| 143 | ||
| 144 | - The ``add_route`` method of a Configurator now accepts a | |
| 145 | ``pregenerator`` argument. The pregenerator for the resulting route | |
| 146 | is called by ``route_url`` in order to adjust the set of arguments | |
| 147 | passed to it by the user for special purposes, such as Pylons | |
| 148 | 'subdomain' support. It will influence the URL returned by | |
| 149 | ``route_url``. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoutePregenerator`` | |
| 150 | interface for more information. | |
| 151 | ||
| 152 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 153 | --------------------------- | |
| 154 | ||
| 155 | - The router no longer sets the value ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` into | |
| 156 | the environ when a route matches. The value used to be something | |
| 157 | like ``((), matchdict)``. This functionality was only ever | |
| 158 | obliquely referred to in change logs; it was never documented as an | |
| 159 | API. | |
| 160 | ||
| 161 | - The ``exception`` attribute of the request now defaults to ``None``. | |
| 162 | In prior versions, the ``request.exception`` attribute did not exist | |
| 163 | if an exception was not raised by user code during request | |
| 164 | processing; it only began existence once an exception view was | |
| 165 | found. | |
| 166 | ||
| 167 | Deprecations | |
| 168 | ------------ | |
| 169 | ||
| 170 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` event | |
| 171 | interface was renamed to | |
| 172 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IApplicationCreated``. Likewise, the | |
| 173 | ``repoze.bfg.events.WSGIApplicationCreatedEvent`` class was renamed | |
| 174 | to ``repoze.bfg.events.ApplicationCreated``. The older aliases will | |
| 175 | continue to work indefinitely. | |
| 176 | ||
| 177 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal`` event interface was | |
| 178 | renamed to ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextFound``. Likewise, the | |
| 179 | ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraversal`` class was renamed to | |
| 180 | ``repoze.bfg.events.ContextFound``. The older aliases will continue | |
| 181 | to work indefinitely. | |
| 182 | ||
| 183 | - References to the WSGI environment values ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` | |
| 184 | and ``bfg.routes.route`` were removed from documentation. These | |
| 185 | will stick around internally for several more releases, but it is | |
| 186 | ``request.matchdict`` and ``request.matched_route`` are now the | |
| 187 | "official" way to obtain the matchdict and the route object which | |
| 188 | resulted in the match. | |
| 189 | ||
| 190 | Documentation | |
| 191 | ------------- | |
| 192 | ||
| 193 | - Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` ZCML directive. | |
| 194 | ||
| 195 | - Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` constructor value | |
| 196 | and the ``set_default_permission`` method in the Configurator API | |
| 197 | documentation. | |
| 198 | ||
| 199 | - Added a new section to the "security" chapter named "Setting a | |
| 200 | Default Permission". | |
| 201 | ||
| 202 | - Document ``renderer_globals_factory`` and ``request_factory`` | |
| 203 | arguments to Configurator constructor. | |
| 204 | ||
| 205 | - Added two sections to the "Hooks" chapter of the documentation: | |
| 206 | "Using Response Callbacks" and "Using Finished Callbacks". | |
| 207 | ||
| 208 | - Added documentation of the ``request.exception`` attribute to the | |
| 209 | ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` API documentation. | |
| 210 | ||
| 211 | - Added glossary entries for "response callback" and "finished | |
| 212 | callback". | |
| 213 | ||
| 214 | - The "Request Processing" narrative chapter has been updated to note | |
| 215 | finished and response callback steps. | |
| 216 | ||
| 217 | - New interface in interfaces API documentation: ``IRoutePregenerator``. | |
| 218 | ||
| 219 | - Added a "The Matched Route" section to the URL Dispatch narrative | |
| 220 | docs chapter, detailing the ``matched_route`` attribute. | |
| 221 | ||
| 222 | 1.3a12 (2010-09-08) | |
| 223 | =================== | |
| 224 | ||
| 225 | Bug Fixes | |
| 226 | --------- | |
| 227 | ||
| 228 | - Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` URL generation: if two | |
| 229 | resource specifications were used to create two separate static | |
| 230 | views, but they shared a common prefix, it was possible that | |
| 231 | ``static_url`` would generate an incorrect URL. | |
| 232 | ||
| 233 | - Fix another bug in ``repoze.bfg.static_url`` URL generation: too | |
| 234 | many slashes in generated URL. | |
| 235 | ||
| 236 | - Prevent a race condition which could result in a ``RuntimeError`` | |
| 237 | when rendering a Chameleon template that has not already been | |
| 238 | rendered once. This would usually occur directly after a restart, | |
| 239 | when more than one person or thread is trying to execute the same | |
| 240 | view at the same time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/karl3/+bug/621364 | |
| 241 | ||
| 242 | Features | |
| 243 | -------- | |
| 244 | ||
| 245 | - The argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` | |
| 246 | which was previously called ``path`` is now called ``pattern`` for | |
| 247 | better explicability. For backwards compatibility purposes, passing | |
| 248 | a keyword argument named ``path`` to ``add_route`` will still work | |
| 249 | indefinitely. | |
| 250 | ||
| 251 | - The ``path`` attribute to the ZCML ``route`` directive is now named | |
| 252 | ``pattern`` for better explicability. The older ``path`` attribute | |
| 253 | will continue to work indefinitely. | |
| 254 | ||
| 255 | Documentation | |
| 256 | ------------- | |
| 257 | ||
| 258 | - All narrative, API, and tutorial docs which referred to a route | |
| 259 | pattern as a ``path`` have now been updated to refer to them as a | |
| 260 | ``pattern``. | |
| 261 | ||
| 262 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` API documentation page is now rendered | |
| 263 | via ``repoze.sphinx.autointerface``. | |
| 264 | ||
| 265 | - The URL Dispatch narrative chapter now refers to the ``interfaces`` | |
| 266 | chapter to explain the API of an ``IRoute`` object. | |
| 267 | ||
| 268 | Paster Templates | |
| 269 | ---------------- | |
| 270 | ||
| 271 | - The routesalchemy template has been updated to use ``pattern`` in | |
| 272 | its route declarations rather than ``path``. | |
| 273 | ||
| 274 | Dependencies | |
| 275 | ------------ | |
| 276 | ||
| 277 | - ``tests_require`` now includes ``repoze.sphinx.autointerface`` as a | |
| 278 | dependency. | |
| 279 | ||
| 280 | Internal | |
| 281 | -------- | |
| 282 | ||
| 283 | - Add an API to the ``Configurator`` named ``get_routes_mapper``. | |
| 284 | This returns an object implementing the ``IRoutesMapper`` interface. | |
| 285 | ||
| 286 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now has a | |
| 287 | ``get_route`` method which returns a single Route object or | |
| 288 | ``None``. | |
| 289 | ||
| 290 | - A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRoute`` was added. The | |
| 291 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` object implements this interface. | |
| 292 | ||
| 293 | - The canonical attribute for accessing the routing pattern from a | |
| 294 | route object is now ``pattern`` rather than ``path``. | |
| 295 | ||
| 296 | - Use ``hash()`` rather than ``id()`` when computing the "phash" of a | |
| 297 | custom route/view predicate in order to allow the custom predicate | |
| 298 | some control over which predicates are "equal". | |
| 299 | ||
| 300 | - Use ``response.headerlist.append`` instead of | |
| 301 | ``response.headers.add`` in | |
| 302 | ``repoze.bfg.request.add_global_response_headers`` in case the | |
| 303 | response is not a WebOb response. | |
| 304 | ||
| 305 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.Route`` constructor (not an API) now | |
| 306 | accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it was | |
| 307 | ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now | |
| 308 | ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in | |
| 309 | support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesMapper.connect`` method (not an | |
| 312 | API) now accepts a different ordering of arguments. Previously it | |
| 313 | was ``(pattern, name, factory=None, predicates=())``. It is now | |
| 314 | ``(name, pattern, factory=None, predicates=())``. This is in | |
| 315 | support of consistency with ``configurator.add_route``. | |
| 316 | ||
| 317 | 1.3a11 (2010-09-05) | |
| 318 | =================== | |
| 319 | ||
| 320 | Bug Fixes | |
| 321 | --------- | |
| 322 | ||
| 323 | - Process the response callbacks and the NewResponse event earlier, to | |
| 324 | enable mutations to the response to take effect. | |
| 325 | ||
| 326 | 1.3a10 (2010-09-05) | |
| 327 | =================== | |
| 328 | ||
| 329 | Features | |
| 330 | -------- | |
| 331 | ||
| 332 | - A new ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` API has | |
| 333 | been added. This method is documented in the new | |
| 334 | ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. It can be used to influence | |
| 335 | response values before a concrete response object has been created. | |
| 336 | ||
| 337 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewResponse`` interface now includes a | |
| 338 | ``request`` attribute; as a result, a handler for INewResponse now | |
| 339 | has access to the request which caused the response. | |
| 340 | ||
| 341 | - Each of the follow methods of the Configurator now allow the | |
| 342 | below-named arguments to be passed as "dotted name strings" | |
| 343 | (e.g. "foo.bar.baz") rather than as actual implementation objects | |
| 344 | that must be imported: | |
| 345 | ||
| 346 | setup_registry | |

| 386 | ||
| 387 | Bug Fixes | |
| 388 | --------- | |
| 389 | ||
| 043ccd | 390 | - The route pattern registered internally for a local "static view" |
| b7c935 | 391 | (either via the ``static`` ZCML directive or via the |
| CM | 392 | ``add_static_view`` method of the configurator) was incorrect. It |
| 393 | was regsistered for e.g. ``static*traverse``, while it should have | |
| 394 | been registered for ``static/*traverse``. Symptom: two static views | |
| 395 | could not reliably be added to a system when they both shared the | |
| 396 | same path prefix (e.g. ``/static`` and ``/static2``). | |
| 397 | ||
| 398 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 399 | --------------------------- | |
| 400 | ||
| 401 | - The INewResponse event is now not sent to listeners if the response | |
| 402 | returned by view code (or a renderer) is not a "real" response | |
| 403 | (e.g. if it does not have ``.status``, ``.headerlist`` and | |
| 404 | ``.app_iter`` attribtues). | |
| 405 | ||
| 406 | Documentation | |
| 407 | ------------- | |
| 408 | ||
| 409 | - Add an API chapter for the ``repoze.bfg.request`` module, which | |
| 410 | includes documentation for the ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class | |
| 411 | (the "request object"). | |
| 412 | ||
| 413 | - Modify the "Request and Response" narrative chapter to reference the | |
| 414 | new ``repoze.bfg.request`` API chapter. Some content was moved from | |
| 415 | this chapter into the API documentation itself. | |
| 416 | ||
| 417 | - Various changes to denote that Python dotted names are now allowed | |
| 418 | as input to Configurator methods. | |
| 419 | ||
| 420 | Internal | |
| 421 | -------- | |
| 422 | ||
| 423 | - The (internal) feature which made it possible to attach a | |
| 424 | ``global_response_headers`` attribute to the request (which was | |
| 425 | assumed to contain a sequence of header key/value pairs which would | |
| 426 | later be added to the response by the router), has been removed. | |
| 427 | The functionality of | |
| 428 | ``repoze.bfg.request.Request.add_response_callback`` takes its | |
| 429 | place. | |
| 430 | ||
| 431 | - The ``repoze.bfg.events.NewResponse`` class's construct has changed: | |
| 432 | it now must be created with ``(request, response)`` rather than | |
| 433 | simply ``(response)``. | |
| 434 | ||
| 435 | 1.3a9 (2010-08-22) | |
| 436 | ================== | |
| 437 | ||
| 438 | Features | |
| 439 | -------- | |
| 440 | ||
| 441 | - The Configurator now accepts a dotted name *string* to a package as | |
| 442 | a ``package`` constructor argument. The ``package`` argument was | |
| 443 | previously required to be a package *object* (not a dotted name | |
| 444 | string). | |
| 445 | ||
| 446 | - The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.with_package`` method | |
| 447 | was added. This method returns a new Configurator using the same | |
| 448 | application registry as the configurator object it is called | |
| 449 | upon. The new configurator is created afresh with its ``package`` | |
| 450 | constructor argument set to the value passed to ``with_package``. | |
| 451 | This feature will make it easier for future BFG versions to allow | |
| 452 | dotted names as arguments in places where currently only object | |
| 453 | references are allowed (the work to allow dotted names isntead of | |
| 454 | object references everywhere has not yet been done, however). | |
| 455 | ||
| 456 | - The new ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.maybe_dotted`` | |
| 457 | method resolves a Python dotted name string supplied as its | |
| 458 | ``dotted`` argument to a global Python object. If the value cannot | |
| 459 | be resolved, a ``repoze.bfg.configuration.ConfigurationError`` is | |
| 460 | raised. If the value supplied as ``dotted`` is not a string, the | |
| 461 | value is returned unconditionally without any resolution attempted. | |
| 462 | ||
| 463 | - The new | |
| 464 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.absolute_resource_spec`` | |
| 465 | method resolves a potentially relative "resource specification" | |
| 466 | string into an absolute version. If the value supplied as | |
| 467 | ``relative_spec`` is not a string, the value is returned | |
| 468 | unconditionally without any resolution attempted. | |
| 469 | ||
| 470 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 471 | --------------------------- | |
| 472 | ||
| 473 | - The functions in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` named ``render`` and | |
| 474 | ``render_to_response`` introduced in 1.3a6 previously took a set of | |
| 475 | ``**values`` arguments for the values to be passed to the renderer. | |
| 476 | This was wrong, as renderers don't need to accept only dictionaries | |
| 477 | (they can accept any type of object). Now, the value sent to the | |
| 478 | renderer must be supplied as a positional argument named ``value``. | |
| 479 | The ``request`` argument is still a keyword argument, however. | |
| 480 | ||
| 481 | - The functions in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` named ``render`` and | |
| 482 | ``render_to_response`` now accept an additonal keyword argument | |
| 483 | named ``package``. | |
| 484 | ||
| 485 | - The ``get_renderer`` API in ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` now accepts a | |
| 486 | ``package`` argument. | |
| 487 | ||
| 488 | Documentation | |
| 489 | ------------- | |
| 490 | ||
| 491 | - The ZCML ``include`` directive docs were incorrect: they specified | |
| 492 | ``filename`` rather than (the correct) ``file`` as an allowable | |
| 493 | attribute. | |
| 494 | ||
| 495 | Internal | |
| 496 | -------- | |
| 497 | ||
| 498 | - The ``repoze.bfg.resource.resolve_resource_spec`` function can now | |
| 499 | accept a package object as its ``pname`` argument instead of just a | |
| 500 | package name. | |
| 501 | ||
| 502 | - The ``_renderer_factory_from_name`` and ``_renderer_from_name`` | |
| 503 | methods of the Configurator were removed. These were never APIs. | |
| 504 | ||
| 505 | - The ``_render``, ``_render_to_response`` and ``_make_response`` | |
| 506 | functions with ``repoze.bfg.render`` (added in 1.3a6) have been | |
| 507 | removed. | |
| 508 | ||
| 509 | - A new helper class ``repoze.bfg.renderers.RendererHelper`` was | |
| 510 | added. | |
| 511 | ||
| 512 | - The _map_view function of ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` now takes | |
| 513 | only a renderer_name argument instead of both a ``renderer`` and | |
| 514 | ``renderer``_name argument. It also takes a ``package`` argument | |
| 515 | now. | |
| 516 | ||
| 517 | - Use ``imp.get_suffixes`` indirection in | |
| 518 | ``repoze.bfg.path.package_name`` instead of hardcoded ``.py`` | |
| 519 | ``.pyc`` and ``.pyo`` to use for comparison when attemtping to | |
| 520 | decide if a directory is a package. | |
| 521 | ||
| 522 | - Make tests runnable again under Jython (although they do not all | |
| 523 | pass currently). | |
| 524 | ||
| 525 | - The reify decorator now maintains the docstring of the function it | |
| 526 | wraps. | |
| 527 | ||
| 528 | 1.3a8 (2010-08-08) | |
| 529 | ================== | |
| 530 | ||
| 531 | Features | |
| 532 | -------- | |
| 533 | ||
| 534 | - New public interface: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.IExceptionResponse``. | |
| 535 | This interface is provided by all internal exception classes (such | |
| 536 | as ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and | |
| 537 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``), instances of which are both | |
| 538 | exception objects and can behave as WSGI response objects. This | |
| 539 | interface is made public so that exception classes which are also | |
| 540 | valid WSGI response factories can be configured to implement them or | |
| 541 | exception instances which are also or response instances can be | |
| 542 | configured to provide them. | |
| 543 | ||
| 544 | - New API class: ``repoze.bfg.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory``. | |
| 545 | ||
| 546 | There can only be one Not Found view in any ``repoze.bfg`` | |
| 547 | application. Even if you use | |
| 548 | ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` as the Not Found | |
| 549 | view, ``repoze.bfg`` still must generate a ``404 Not Found`` | |
| 550 | response when it cannot redirect to a slash-appended URL; this not | |
| 551 | found response will be visible to site users. | |
| 552 | ||
| 553 | If you don't care what this 404 response looks like, and you only | |
| 554 | need redirections to slash-appended route URLs, you may use the | |
| 555 | ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` object as the Not | |
| 556 | Found view. However, if you wish to use a *custom* notfound view | |
| 557 | callable when a URL cannot be redirected to a slash-appended URL, | |
| 558 | you may wish to use an instance of the | |
| 559 | ``repoze.bfg.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory`` class as the Not | |
| 560 | Found view, supplying the notfound view callable as the first | |
| 561 | argument to its constructor. For instance:: | |
| 562 | ||
| 563 | from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound | |
| 564 | from repoze.bfg.view import AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory | |
| 565 | ||
| 566 | def notfound_view(context, request): | |
| 567 | return HTTPNotFound('It aint there, stop trying!') | |
| 568 | ||
| 569 | custom_append_slash = AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory(notfound_view) | |
| 570 | config.add_view(custom_append_slash, context=NotFound) | |
| 571 | ||
| 572 | The ``notfound_view`` supplied must adhere to the two-argument view | |
| 573 | callable calling convention of ``(context, request)`` (``context`` | |
| 574 | will be the exception object). | |
| 575 | ||
| 576 | Documentation | |
| 577 | -------------- | |
| 578 | ||
| 579 | - Expanded the "Cleaning Up After a Request" section of the URL | |
| 580 | Dispatch narrative chapter. | |
| 581 | ||
| 582 | - Expanded the "Redirecting to Slash-Appended Routes" section of the | |
| 583 | URL Dispatch narrative chapter. | |
| 584 | ||
| 585 | Internal | |
| 586 | -------- | |
| 587 | ||
| 588 | - Previously, two default view functions were registered at | |
| 589 | Configurator setup (one for ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` named | |
| 590 | ``default_notfound_view`` and one for | |
| 591 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` named | |
| 592 | ``default_forbidden_view``) to render internal exception responses. | |
| 593 | Those default view functions have been removed, replaced with a | |
| 594 | generic default view function which is registered at Configurator | |
| 595 | setup for the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface | |
| 596 | that simply returns the exception instance; the ``NotFound`` and | |
| 597 | ``Forbidden`` classes are now still exception factories but they are | |
| 598 | also response factories which generate instances that implement the | |
| 599 | new ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` interface. | |
| 600 | ||
| 601 | 1.3a7 (2010-08-01) | |
| 602 | ================== | |
| 603 | ||
| 604 | Features | |
| 605 | -------- | |
| 606 | ||
| 607 | - The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` API now | |
| 608 | returns the route object that was added. | |
| 609 | ||
| 610 | - A ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` decorator was added. This | |
| 611 | decorator decorates module-scope functions, which are then treated | |
| 612 | as event listeners after a scan() is performed. See the Events | |
| 613 | narrative documentation chapter and the ``repoze.bfg.events`` module | |
| 614 | documentation for more information. | |
| 615 | ||
| 616 | Bug Fixes | |
| 617 | --------- | |
| 618 | ||
| 619 | - When adding a view for a route which did not yet exist ("did not yet | |
| 620 | exist" meaning, temporally, a view was added with a route name for a | |
| 621 | route which had not yet been added via add_route), the value of the | |
| 622 | ``custom_predicate`` argument to ``add_view`` was lost. Symptom: | |
| 623 | wrong view matches when using URL dispatch and custom view | |
| 624 | predicates together. | |
| 625 | ||
| 626 | - Pattern matches for a ``:segment`` marker in a URL dispatch route | |
| 627 | pattern now always match at least one character. See "Backwards | |
| 628 | Incompatibilities" below in this changelog. | |
| 629 | ||
| 630 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 631 | --------------------------- | |
| 632 | ||
| 633 | - A bug existed in the regular expression to do URL matching. As an | |
| 634 | example, the URL matching machinery would cause the pattern | |
| 635 | ``/{foo}`` to match the root URL ``/`` resulting in a match | |
| 636 | dictionary of ``{'foo':u''}`` or the pattern ``/{fud}/edit might | |
| 637 | match the URL ``//edit`` resulting in a match dictionary of | |
| 638 | ``{'fud':u''}``. It was always the intent that ``:segment`` markers | |
| 639 | in the pattern would need to match *at least one* character, and | |
| 640 | never match the empty string. This, however, means that in certain | |
| 641 | circumstances, a routing match which your application inadvertently | |
| 642 | depended upon may no longer happen. | |
| 643 | ||
| 644 | Documentation | |
| 645 | -------------- | |
| 646 | ||
| 647 | - Added description of the ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` decorator | |
| 648 | to the Events narrative chapter. | |
| 649 | ||
| 650 | - Added ``repoze.bfg.events.subscriber`` API documentation to | |
| 651 | ``repoze.bfg.events`` API docs. | |
| 652 | ||
| 653 | - Added a section named "Zope 3 Enforces 'TTW' Authorization Checks By | |
| 654 | Default; BFG Does Not" to the "Design Defense" chapter. | |
| 655 | ||
| 656 | 1.3a6 (2010-07-25) | |
| 657 | ================== | |
| 658 | ||
| 659 | Features | |
| 660 | -------- | |
| 661 | ||
| 662 | - New argument to ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route`` | |
| 663 | and the ``route`` ZCML directive: ``traverse``. If you would like | |
| 664 | to cause the ``context`` to be something other than the ``root`` | |
| 665 | object when this route matches, you can spell a traversal pattern as | |
| 666 | the ``traverse`` argument. This traversal pattern will be used as | |
| 667 | the traversal path: traversal will begin at the root object implied | |
| 668 | by this route (either the global root, or the object returned by the | |
| 669 | ``factory`` associated with this route). | |
| 670 | ||
| 671 | The syntax of the ``traverse`` argument is the same as it is for | |
| 672 | ``path``. For example, if the ``path`` provided is | |
| 673 | ``articles/:article/edit``, and the ``traverse`` argument provided | |
| 674 | is ``/:article``, when a request comes in that causes the route to | |
| 675 | match in such a way that the ``article`` match value is '1' (when | |
| 676 | the request URI is ``/articles/1/edit``), the traversal path will be | |
| 677 | generated as ``/1``. This means that the root object's | |
| 678 | ``__getitem__`` will be called with the name ``1`` during the | |
| 679 | traversal phase. If the ``1`` object exists, it will become the | |
| 680 | ``context`` of the request. The Traversal narrative has more | |
| 681 | information about traversal. | |
| 682 | ||
| 683 | If the traversal path contains segment marker names which are not | |
| 684 | present in the path argument, a runtime error will occur. The | |
| 685 | ``traverse`` pattern should not contain segment markers that do not | |
| 686 | exist in the ``path``. | |
| 687 | ||
| 688 | A similar combining of routing and traversal is available when a | |
| 689 | route is matched which contains a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in | |
| 690 | its path. The ``traverse`` argument allows you to associate route | |
| 043ccd | 691 | patterns with an arbitrary traversal path without using a |
| b7c935 | 692 | ``*traverse`` remainder marker; instead you can use other match |
| CM | 693 | information. |
| 694 | ||
| 695 | Note that the ``traverse`` argument is ignored when attached to a | |
| 696 | route that has a ``*traverse`` remainder marker in its path. | |
| 697 | ||
| 698 | - A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists: | |
| 699 | ``set_request_factory``. If used, this method will set the factory | |
| 700 | used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create all request objects. | |
| 701 | ||
| 702 | - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: | |
| 703 | ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory | |
| 704 | used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create all request objects. | |
| 705 | ||
| 706 | - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: | |
| 707 | ``request_factory``. If used, this argument will set the factory | |
| 708 | used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create all request objects. | |
| 709 | ||
| 710 | - A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists: | |
| 711 | ``set_renderer_globals_factory``. If used, this method will set the | |
| 712 | factory used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create renderer | |
| 713 | globals. | |
| 714 | ||
| 715 | - A new method of the ``Configurator`` exists: ``get_settings``. If | |
| 716 | used, this method will return the current settings object (performs | |
| 717 | the same job as the ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API). | |
| 718 | ||
| 719 | - The ``Configurator`` constructor takes an additional argument: | |
| 720 | ``renderer_globals_factory``. If used, this argument will set the | |
| 721 | factory used by the ``repoze.bfg`` router to create renderer | |
| 722 | globals. | |
| 723 | ||
| 724 | - Add ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render``, | |
| 725 | ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_to_response`` and | |
| 726 | ``repoze.bfg.renderers.get_renderer`` functions. These are | |
| 727 | imperative APIs which will use the same rendering machinery used by | |
| 728 | view configurations with a ``renderer=`` attribute/argument to | |
| 729 | produce a rendering or renderer. Because these APIs provide a | |
| 730 | central API for all rendering, they now form the preferred way to | |
| 731 | perform imperative template rendering. Using functions named | |
| 732 | ``render_*`` from modules such as ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` and | |
| 733 | ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text`` is now discouraged (although not | |
| 734 | deprecated). The code the backing older templating-system-specific | |
| 735 | APIs now calls into the newer ``repoze.bfg.renderer`` code. | |
| 736 | ||
| 737 | - The ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.testing_add_template`` | |
| 738 | has been renamed to ``testing_add_renderer``. A backwards | |
| 739 | compatibility alias is present using the old name. | |
| 740 | ||
| 741 | Documentation | |
| 742 | ------------- | |
| 743 | ||
| 744 | - The ``Hybrid`` narrative chapter now contains a description of the | |
| 745 | ``traverse`` route argument. | |
| 746 | ||
| 747 | - The ``Hooks`` narrative chapter now contains sections about | |
| 748 | changing the request factory and adding a renderer globals factory. | |
| 749 | ||
| 750 | - The API documentation includes a new module: | |
| 751 | ``repoze.bfg.renderers``. | |
| 752 | ||
| 753 | - The ``Templates`` chapter was updated; all narrative that used | |
| 754 | templating-specific APIs within examples to perform rendering (such | |
| 755 | as the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.render_template_to_response`` | |
| 756 | method) was changed to use ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_*`` | |
| 757 | functions. | |
| 758 | ||
| 759 | Bug Fixes | |
| 760 | --------- | |
| 761 | ||
| 762 | - The ``header`` predicate (when used as either a view predicate or a | |
| 763 | route predicate) had a problem when specified with a name/regex | |
| 764 | pair. When the header did not exist in the headers dictionary, the | |
| 765 | regex match could be fed ``None``, causing it to throw a | |
| 766 | ``TypeError: expected string or buffer`` exception. Now, the | |
| 767 | predicate returns False as intended. | |
| 768 | ||
| 769 | Deprecations | |
| 770 | ------------ | |
| 771 | ||
| 772 | - The ``repoze.bfg.renderers.rendered_response`` function was never an | |
| 773 | official API, but may have been imported by extensions in the wild. | |
| 774 | It is officially deprecated in this release. Use | |
| 775 | ``repoze.bfg.renderers.render_to_response`` instead. | |
| 776 | ||
| 777 | - The following APIs are *documentation* deprecated (meaning they are | |
| 778 | officially deprecated in documentation but do not raise a | |
| 779 | deprecation error upon their usage, and may continue to work for an | |
| 780 | indefinite period of time): | |
| 781 | ||
| 782 | In the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module: ``get_renderer``, | |
| 783 | ``get_template``, ``render_template``, | |
| 784 | ``render_template_to_response``. The suggested alternatives are | |
| 785 | documented within the docstrings of those methods (which are still | |
| 786 | present in the documentation). | |
| 787 | ||
| 788 | In the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text`` module: ``get_renderer``, | |
| 789 | ``get_template``, ``render_template``, | |
| 790 | ``render_template_to_response``. The suggested alternatives are | |
| 791 | documented within the docstrings of those methods (which are still | |
| 792 | present in the documentation). | |
| 793 | ||
| 794 | In general, to perform template-related functions, one should now | |
| 795 | use the various methods in the ``repoze.bfg.renderers`` module. | |
| 796 | ||
| 797 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 798 | --------------------------- | |
| 799 | ||
| 800 | - A new internal exception class (*not* an API) named | |
| 801 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` now exists. This | |
| 802 | exception is currently raised when no constituent view of a | |
| 803 | multiview can be called (due to no predicate match). Previously, in | |
| 804 | this situation, a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` was raised. We | |
| 805 | provide backwards compatibility for code that expected a | |
| 806 | ``NotFound`` to be raised when no predicates match by causing | |
| 807 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` to inherit from | |
| 808 | ``NotFound``. This will cause any exception view registered for | |
| 809 | ``NotFound`` to be called when a predicate mismatch occurs, as was | |
| 810 | the previous behavior. | |
| 811 | ||
| 812 | There is however, one perverse case that will expose a backwards | |
| 813 | incompatibility. If 1) you had a view that was registered as a | |
| 814 | member of a multiview 2) this view explicitly raised a ``NotFound`` | |
| 815 | exception *in order to* proceed to the next predicate check in the | |
| 816 | multiview, that code will now behave differently: rather than | |
| 817 | skipping to the next view match, a NotFound will be raised to the | |
| 818 | top-level exception handling machinery instead. For code to be | |
| 819 | depending upon the behavior of a view raising ``NotFound`` to | |
| 820 | proceed to the next predicate match, would be tragic, but not | |
| 821 | impossible, given that ``NotFound`` is a public interface. | |
| 822 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.PredicateMismatch`` is not a public API and | |
| 823 | cannot be depended upon by application code, so you should not | |
| 824 | change your view code to raise ``PredicateMismatch``. Instead, move | |
| 825 | the logic which raised the ``NotFound`` exception in the view out | |
| 826 | into a custom view predicate. | |
| 827 | ||
| 828 | - If, when you run your application's unit test suite under BFG 1.3, a | |
| 829 | ``KeyError`` naming a template or a ``ValueError`` indicating that a | |
| 830 | 'renderer factory' is not registered may is raised | |
| 831 | (e.g. ``ValueError: No factory for renderer named '.pt' when looking | |
| 832 | up karl.views:templates/snippets.pt``), you may need to perform some | |
| 833 | extra setup in your test code. | |
| 834 | ||
| 835 | The best solution is to use the | |
| 836 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.testing_add_renderer`` (or, | |
| 837 | alternately the deprecated | |
| 838 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer`` or | |
| 839 | ``registerDummyRenderer``) API within the code comprising each | |
| 840 | individual unit test suite to register a "dummy" renderer for each | |
| 841 | of the templates and renderers used by code under test. For | |
| 842 | example:: | |
| 843 | ||
| 844 | config = Configurator() | |
| 845 | config.testing_add_renderer('karl.views:templates/snippets.pt') | |
| 846 | ||
| 847 | This will register a basic dummy renderer for this particular | |
| 848 | missing template. The ``testing_add_renderer`` API actually | |
| 849 | *returns* the renderer, but if you don't care about how the render | |
| 850 | is used, you don't care about having a reference to it either. | |
| 851 | ||
| 852 | A more rough way to solve the issue exists. It causes the "real" | |
| 853 | template implementations to be used while the system is under test, | |
| 854 | which is suboptimal, because tests will run slower, and unit tests | |
| 855 | won't actually *be* unit tests, but it is easier. Always ensure you | |
| 856 | call the ``setup_registry()`` method of the Configurator . Eg:: | |
| 857 | ||
| 858 | reg = MyRegistry() | |
| 859 | config = Configurator(registry=reg) | |
| 860 | config.setup_registry() | |
| 861 | ||
| 862 | Calling ``setup_registry`` only has an effect if you're *passing in* | |
| 863 | a ``registry`` argument to the Configurator constructor. | |
| 864 | ``setup_registry`` is called by the course of normal operations | |
| 865 | anyway if you do not pass in a ``registry``. | |
| 866 | ||
| 867 | If your test suite isn't using a Configurator yet, and is still | |
| 868 | using the older ``repoze.bfg.testing`` APIs name ``setUp`` or | |
| 869 | ``cleanUp``, these will register the renderers on your behalf. | |
| 870 | ||
| 871 | A variant on the symptom for this theme exists: you may already be | |
| 872 | dutifully registering a dummy template or renderer for a template | |
| 873 | used by the code you're testing using ``testing_register_renderer`` | |
| 874 | or ``registerTemplateRenderer``, but (perhaps unbeknownst to you) | |
| 875 | the code under test expects to be able to use a "real" template | |
| 876 | renderer implementation to retrieve or render *another* template | |
| 877 | that you forgot was being rendered as a side effect of calling the | |
| 878 | code you're testing. This happened to work because it found the | |
| 879 | *real* template while the system was under test previously, and now | |
| 880 | it cannot. The solution is the same. | |
| 881 | ||
| 882 | It may also help reduce confusion to use a *resource specification* | |
| 883 | to specify the template path in the test suite and code rather than | |
| 884 | a relative path in either. A resource specification is unambiguous, | |
| 885 | while a relative path needs to be relative to "here", where "here" | |
| 886 | isn't always well-defined ("here" in a test suite may or may not be | |
| 887 | the same as "here" in the code under test). | |
| 888 | ||
| 889 | 1.3a5 (2010-07-14) | |
| 890 | ================== | |
| 891 | ||
| 892 | Features | |
| 893 | -------- | |
| 894 | ||
| 895 | - New internal exception: ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``. | |
| 896 | This URL is a subclass of the built-in Python exception named | |
| 897 | ``UnicodeDecodeError``. | |
| 898 | ||
| 899 | - When decoding a URL segment to Unicode fails, the exception raised | |
| 900 | is now ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` instead of | |
| 901 | ``UnicodeDecodeError``. This makes it possible to register an | |
| 902 | exception view invoked specifically when ``repoze.bfg`` cannot | |
| 903 | decode a URL. | |
| 904 | ||
| 905 | Bug Fixes | |
| 906 | --------- | |
| 907 | ||
| 908 | - Fix regression in | |
| 909 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. Before | |
| 910 | 1.3a4, view names that contained a slash were supported as route | |
| 911 | prefixes. 1.3a4 broke this by trying to treat them as full URLs. | |
| 912 | ||
| 913 | Documentation | |
| 914 | ------------- | |
| 915 | ||
| 916 | - The ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError`` exception was added to | |
| 917 | the exceptions chapter of the API documentation. | |
| 918 | ||
| 919 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 920 | ---------------------------- | |
| 921 | ||
| 922 | - in previous releases, when a URL could not be decoded from UTF-8 | |
| 923 | during traversal, a ``TypeError`` was raised. Now the error which | |
| 924 | is raised is a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.URLDecodeError``. | |
| 925 | ||
| 926 | 1.3a4 (2010-07-03) | |
| 927 | ================== | |
| 928 | ||
| 929 | Features | |
| 930 | -------- | |
| 931 | ||
| 932 | - Undocumented hook: make ``get_app`` and ``get_root`` of the | |
| 933 | ``repoze.bfg.paster.BFGShellCommand`` hookable in cases where | |
| 934 | endware may interfere with the default versions. | |
| 935 | ||
| 936 | - In earlier versions, a custom route predicate associated with a url | |
| 937 | dispatch route (each of the predicate functions fed to the | |
| 938 | ``custom_predicates`` argument of | |
| 939 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_route``) has always | |
| 940 | required a 2-positional argument signature, e.g. ``(context, | |
| 941 | request)``. Before this release, the ``context`` argument was | |
| 942 | always ``None``. | |
| 943 | ||
| 944 | As of this release, the first argument passed to a predicate is now | |
| 945 | a dictionary conventionally named ``info`` consisting of ``route``, | |
| 946 | and ``match``. ``match`` is a dictionary: it represents the | |
| 947 | arguments matched in the URL by the route. ``route`` is an object | |
| 948 | representing the route which was matched. | |
| 949 | ||
| 950 | This is useful when predicates need access to the route match. For | |
| 951 | example:: | |
| 952 | ||
| 953 | def any_of(segment_name, *args): | |
| 954 | def predicate(info, request): | |
| 955 | if info['match'][segment_name] in args: | |
| 956 | return True | |
| 957 | return predicate | |
| 958 | ||
| 959 | num_one_two_or_three = any_of('num, 'one', 'two', 'three') | |
| 960 | ||
| 961 | add_route('num', '/:num', custom_predicates=(num_one_two_or_three,)) | |
| 962 | ||
| 963 | The ``route`` object is an object that has two useful attributes: | |
| 964 | ``name`` and ``path``. The ``name`` attribute is the route name. | |
| 965 | The ``path`` attribute is the route pattern. An example of using | |
| 966 | the route in a set of route predicates:: | |
| 967 | ||
| 968 | def twenty_ten(info, request): | |
| 969 | if info['route'].name in ('ymd', 'ym', 'y'): | |
| 970 | return info['match']['year'] == '2010' | |
| 971 | ||
| 972 | add_route('y', '/:year', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,)) | |
| 973 | add_route('ym', '/:year/:month', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,)) | |
| 974 | add_route('ymd', '/:year/:month:/day', custom_predicates=(twenty_ten,)) | |
| 975 | ||
| 976 | - The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API has changed. If a keyword | |
| 977 | ``_app_url`` is present in the arguments passed to ``route_url``, | |
| 978 | this value will be used as the protocol/hostname/port/leading path | |
| 979 | prefix of the generated URL. For example, using an ``_app_url`` of | |
| 980 | ``http://example.com:8080/foo`` would cause the URL | |
| 981 | ``http://example.com:8080/foo/fleeb/flub`` to be returned from this | |
| 982 | function if the expansion of the route pattern associated with the | |
| 983 | ``route_name`` expanded to ``/fleeb/flub``. | |
| 984 | ||
| 985 | - It is now possible to use a URL as the ``name`` argument fed to | |
| 986 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.add_static_view``. When the | |
| 987 | name argument is a URL, the ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API will | |
| 988 | generate join this URL (as a prefix) to a path including the static | |
| 989 | file name. This makes it more possible to put static media on a | |
| 990 | separate webserver for production, while keeping static media | |
| 991 | package-internal and served by the development webserver during | |
| 992 | development. | |
| 993 | ||
| 994 | Documentation | |
| 995 | ------------- | |
| 996 | ||
| 997 | - The authorization chapter of the ZODB Wiki Tutorial | |
| 998 | (docs/tutorials/bfgwiki) was changed to demonstrate authorization | |
| 999 | via a group rather than via a direct username (thanks to Alex | |
| 1000 | Marandon). | |
| 1001 | ||
| 1002 | - The authorization chapter of the SQLAlchemy Wiki Tutorial | |
| 1003 | (docs/tutorials/bfgwiki2) was changed to demonstrate authorization | |
| 1004 | via a group rather than via a direct username. | |
| 1005 | ||
| 1006 | - Redirect requests for tutorial sources to | |
| 1007 | http://docs.repoze.org/bfgwiki-1.3 and | |
| 1008 | http://docs.repoze.org/bfgwiki2-1.3/ respectively. | |
| 1009 | ||
| 1010 | - A section named ``Custom Route Predicates`` was added to the URL | |
| 1011 | Dispatch narrative chapter. | |
| 1012 | ||
| 1013 | - The Static Resources chapter has been updated to mention using | |
| 1014 | ``static_url`` to generate URLs to external webservers. | |
| 1015 | ||
| 1016 | Internal | |
| 1017 | -------- | |
| 1018 | ||
| 1019 | - Removed ``repoze.bfg.static.StaticURLFactory`` in favor of a new | |
| 1020 | abstraction revolving around the (still-internal) | |
| 1021 | ``repoze.bfg.static.StaticURLInfo`` helper class. | |
| 1022 | ||
| 1023 | 1.3a3 (2010-05-01) | |
| 1024 | ================== | |
| 1025 | ||
| 1026 | Paster Templates | |
| 1027 | ---------------- | |
| 1028 | ||
| 1029 | - The ``bfg_alchemy`` and ``bfg_routesalchemy`` templates no longer | |
| 1030 | register a ``handle_teardown`` event listener which calls | |
| 1031 | ``DBSession.remove``. This was found by Chris Withers to be | |
| 1032 | unnecessary. | |
| 1033 | ||
| 1034 | Documentation | |
| 1035 | ------------- | |
| 1036 | ||
| 1037 | - The "bfgwiki2" (URL dispatch wiki) tutorial code and documentation | |
| 1038 | was changed to remove the ``handle_teardown`` event listener which | |
| 1039 | calls ``DBSession.remove``. | |
| 1040 | ||
| 1041 | - Any mention of the ``handle_teardown`` event listener as used by the | |
| 1042 | paster templates was removed from the URL Dispatch narrative chapter. | |
| 1043 | ||
| 1044 | - A section entitled Detecting Available Languages was added to the | |
| 1045 | i18n narrative docs chapter. | |
| 1046 | ||
| 1047 | 1.3a2 (2010-04-28) | |
| 1048 | ================== | |
| 1049 | ||
| 1050 | Features | |
| 1051 | -------- | |
| 1052 | ||
| 1053 | - A locale negotiator no longer needs to be registered explicitly. The | |
| 1054 | default locale negotiator at | |
| 1055 | ``repoze.bfg.i18n.default_locale_negotiator`` is now used | |
| 1056 | unconditionally as... um, the default locale negotiator. | |
| 1057 | ||
| 1058 | - The default locale negotiator has become more complex. | |
| 1059 | ||
| 1060 | * First, the negotiator looks for the ``_LOCALE_`` attribute of | |
| 1061 | the request object (possibly set by a view or an event listener). | |
| 1062 | ||
| 1063 | * Then it looks for the ``request.params['_LOCALE_']`` value. | |
| 1064 | ||
| 1065 | * Then it looks for the ``request.cookies['_LOCALE_']`` value. | |
| 1066 | ||
| 1067 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 1068 | --------------------------- | |
| 1069 | ||
| 1070 | - The default locale negotiator now looks for the parameter named | |
| 1071 | ``_LOCALE_`` rather than a parameter named ``locale`` in | |
| 1072 | ``request.params``. | |
| 1073 | ||
| 1074 | Behavior Changes | |
| 1075 | ---------------- | |
| 1076 | ||
| 1077 | - A locale negotiator may now return ``None``, signifying that the | |
| 1078 | default locale should be used. | |
| 1079 | ||
| 1080 | Documentation | |
| 1081 | ------------- | |
| 1082 | ||
| 1083 | - Documentation concerning locale negotiation in the | |
| 1084 | Internationalizationa and Localization chapter was updated. | |
| 1085 | ||
| 1086 | - Expanded portion of i18n narrative chapter docs which discuss | |
| 1087 | working with gettext files. | |
| 1088 | ||
| 1089 | 1.3a1 (2010-04-26) | |
| 1090 | ================== | |
| 1091 | ||
| 1092 | Features | |
| 1093 | -------- | |
| 1094 | ||
| 1095 | - Added "exception views". When you use an exception (anything that | |
| 1096 | inherits from the Python ``Exception`` builtin) as view context | |
| 1097 | argument, e.g.:: | |
| 1098 | ||
| 1099 | from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view | |
| 1100 | from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound | |
| 1101 | from webob.exc import HTTPNotFound | |
| 1102 | ||
| 1103 | @bfg_view(context=NotFound) | |
| 1104 | def notfound_view(request): | |
| 1105 | return HTTPNotFound() | |
| 1106 | ||
| 1107 | For the above example, when the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` | |
| 1108 | exception is raised by any view or any root factory, the | |
| 1109 | ``notfound_view`` view callable will be invoked and its response | |
| 1110 | returned. | |
| 1111 | ||
| 1112 | Other normal view predicates can also be used in combination with an | |
| 1113 | exception view registration:: | |
| 1114 | ||
| 1115 | from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view | |
| 1116 | from repoze.bfg.exceptions import NotFound | |
| 1117 | from webob.exc import HTTPNotFound | |
| 1118 | ||
| 1119 | @bfg_view(context=NotFound, route_name='home') | |
| 1120 | def notfound_view(request): | |
| 1121 | return HTTPNotFound() | |
| 1122 | ||
| 1123 | The above exception view names the ``route_name`` of ``home``, | |
| 1124 | meaning that it will only be called when the route matched has a | |
| 1125 | name of ``home``. You can therefore have more than one exception | |
| 1126 | view for any given exception in the system: the "most specific" one | |
| 1127 | will be called when the set of request circumstances which match the | |
| 1128 | view registration. The only predicate that cannot be not be used | |
| 1129 | successfully is ``name``. The name used to look up an exception | |
| 1130 | view is always the empty string. | |
| 1131 | ||
| 1132 | Existing (pre-1.3) normal views registered against objects | |
| 1133 | inheriting from ``Exception`` will continue to work. Exception | |
| 1134 | views used for user-defined exceptions and system exceptions used as | |
| 1135 | contexts will also work. | |
| 1136 | ||
| 1137 | The feature can be used with any view registration mechanism | |
| 1138 | (``@bfg_view`` decorator, ZCML, or imperative ``config.add_view`` | |
| 1139 | styles). | |
| 1140 | ||
| 1141 | This feature was kindly contributed by Andrey Popp. | |
| 1142 | ||
| 1143 | - Use "Venusian" (`http://docs.repoze.org/venusian | |
| 1144 | <http://docs.repoze.org/venusian>`_) to perform ``bfg_view`` | |
| 1145 | decorator scanning rather than relying on a BFG-internal decorator | |
| 1146 | scanner. (Truth be told, Venusian is really just a generalization | |
| 1147 | of the BFG-internal decorator scanner). | |
| 1148 | ||
| 1149 | - Internationalization and localization features as documented in the | |
| 1150 | narrative documentation chapter entitled ``Internationalization and | |
| 1151 | Localization``. | |
| 1152 | ||
| 1153 | - A new deployment setting named ``default_locale_name`` was added. | |
| 1154 | If this string is present as a Paster ``.ini`` file option, it will | |
| 1155 | be considered the default locale name. The default locale name is | |
| 1156 | used during locale-related operations such as language translation. | |
| 1157 | ||
| 1158 | - It is now possible to turn on Chameleon template "debugging mode" | |
| 1159 | for all Chameleon BFG templates by setting a BFG-related Paster | |
| 1160 | ``.ini`` file setting named ``debug_templates``. The exceptions | |
| 1161 | raised by Chameleon templates when a rendering fails are sometimes | |
| 1162 | less than helpful. ``debug_templates`` allows you to configure your | |
| 1163 | application development environment so that exceptions generated by | |
| 1164 | Chameleon during template compilation and execution will contain | |
| 1165 | more helpful debugging information. This mode is on by default in | |
| 1166 | all new projects. | |
| 1167 | ||
| 1168 | - Add a new method of the Configurator named ``derive_view`` which can | |
| 1169 | be used to generate a BFG view callable from a user-supplied | |
| 1170 | function, instance, or class. This useful for external framework and | |
| 1171 | plugin authors wishing to wrap callables supplied by their users | |
| 1172 | which follow the same calling conventions and response conventions | |
| 1173 | as objects that can be supplied directly to BFG as a view callable. | |
| 1174 | See the ``derive_view`` method in the | |
| 1175 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` docs. | |
| 1176 | ||
| 1177 | ZCML | |
| 1178 | ---- | |
| 1179 | ||
| 1180 | - Add a ``translationdir`` ZCML directive to support localization. | |
| 1181 | ||
| 1182 | - Add a ``localenegotiator`` ZCML directive to support localization. | |
| 1183 | ||
| 1184 | Deprecations | |
| 1185 | ------------ | |
| 1186 | ||
| 1187 | - The exception views feature replaces the need for the | |
| 1188 | ``set_notfound_view`` and ``set_forbidden_view`` methods of the | |
| 1189 | ``Configurator`` as well as the ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML | |
| 1190 | directives. Those methods and directives will continue to work for | |
| 1191 | the foreseeable future, but they are deprecated in the | |
| 1192 | documentation. | |
| 1193 | ||
| 1194 | Dependencies | |
| 1195 | ------------ | |
| 1196 | ||
| 1197 | - A new install-time dependency on the ``venusian`` distribution was | |
| 1198 | added. | |
| 1199 | ||
| 1200 | - A new install-time dependency on the ``translationstring`` | |
| 1201 | distribution was added. | |
| 1202 | ||
| 1203 | - Chameleon 1.2.3 or better is now required (internationalization and | |
| 1204 | per-template debug settings). | |
| 1205 | ||
| 1206 | Internal | |
| 1207 | -------- | |
| 1208 | ||
| 1209 | - View registrations and lookups are now done with three "requires" | |
| 1210 | arguments instead of two to accomodate orthogonality of exception | |
| 1211 | views. | |
| 1212 | ||
| 1213 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView`` and | |
| 1214 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` interfaces were removed; | |
| 1215 | they weren't APIs and they became vestigial with the addition of | |
| 1216 | exception views. | |
| 1217 | ||
| 1218 | - Remove ``repoze.bfg.compat.pkgutil_26.py`` and import alias | |
| 1219 | ``repoze.bfg.compat.walk_packages``. These were only required by | |
| 1220 | internal scanning machinery; Venusian replaced the internal scanning | |
| 1221 | machinery, so these are no longer required. | |
| 1222 | ||
| 1223 | Documentation | |
| 1224 | ------------- | |
| 1225 | ||
| 1226 | - Exception view documentation was added to the ``Hooks`` narrative | |
| 1227 | chapter. | |
| 1228 | ||
| 1229 | - A new narrative chapter entitled ``Internationalization and | |
| 1230 | Localization`` was added. | |
| 1231 | ||
| 1232 | - The "Environment Variables and ``ini`` File Settings" chapter was | |
| 1233 | changed: documentation about the ``default_locale_name`` setting was | |
| 1234 | added. | |
| 1235 | ||
| 1236 | - A new API chapter for the ``repoze.bfg.i18n`` module was added. | |
| 1237 | ||
| 1238 | - Documentation for the new ``translationdir`` and | |
| 1239 | ``localenegotiator`` ZCML directives were added. | |
| 1240 | ||
| 1241 | - A section was added to the Templates chapter entitled "Nicer | |
| 1242 | Exceptions in Templates" describing the result of setting | |
| 1243 | ``debug_templates = true``. | |
| 1244 | ||
| 1245 | Paster Templates | |
| 1246 | ---------------- | |
| 1247 | ||
| 1248 | - All paster templates now create a ``setup.cfg`` which includes | |
| 1249 | commands related to nose testing and Babel message catalog | |
| 1250 | extraction/compilation. | |
| 1251 | ||
| 1252 | - A ``default_locale_name = en`` setting was added to each existing paster | |
| 1253 | template. | |
| 1254 | ||
| 1255 | - A ``debug_templates = true`` setting was added to each existing | |
| 1256 | paster template. | |
| 1257 | ||
| 1258 | Licensing | |
| 1259 | --------- | |
| 1260 | ||
| 1261 | - The Edgewall (BSD) license was added to the LICENSES.txt file, as | |
| 1262 | some code in the ``repoze.bfg.i18n`` derives from Babel source. | |
| 1263 | ||
| 1264 | 1.2 (2010-02-10) | |
| 1265 | ================ | |
| 1266 | ||
| 1267 | - No changes from 1.2b6. | |
| 1268 | ||
| 1269 | 1.2b6 (2010-02-06) | |
| 1270 | ================== | |
| 1271 | ||
| 1272 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 1273 | --------------------------- | |
| 1274 | ||
| 1275 | - Remove magical feature of ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` which | |
| 1276 | prepended a fully-expanded urldispatch route URL before a the | |
| 1277 | model's path if it was noticed that the request had matched a route. | |
| 1278 | This feature was ill-conceived, and didn't work in all scenarios. | |
| 1279 | ||
| 1280 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1281 | --------- | |
| 1282 | ||
| 1283 | - More correct conversion of provided ``renderer`` values to resource | |
| 1284 | specification values (internal). | |
| 1285 | ||
| 1286 | 1.2b5 (2010-02-04) | |
| 1287 | ================== | |
| 1288 | ||
| 1289 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1290 | --------- | |
| 1291 | ||
| 1292 | - 1.2b4 introduced a bug whereby views added via a route configuration | |
| 1293 | that named a view callable and also a ``view_attr`` became broken. | |
| 1294 | Symptom: ``MyViewClass is not callable`` or the ``__call__`` of a | |
| 1295 | class was being called instead of the method named via | |
| 1296 | ``view_attr``. | |
| 1297 | ||
| 1298 | - Fix a bug whereby a ``renderer`` argument to the ``@bfg_view`` | |
| 1299 | decorator that provided a package-relative template filename might | |
| 1300 | not have been resolved properly. Symptom: inappropriate ``Missing | |
| 1301 | template resource`` errors. | |
| 1302 | ||
| 1303 | 1.2b4 (2010-02-03) | |
| 1304 | ================== | |
| 1305 | ||
| 1306 | Documentation | |
| 1307 | ------------- | |
| 1308 | ||
| 1309 | - Update GAE tutorial to use Chameleon instead of Jinja2 (now that | |
| 1310 | it's possible). | |
| 1311 | ||
| 1312 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1313 | --------- | |
| 1314 | ||
| 1315 | - Ensure that ``secure`` flag for AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy | |
| 1316 | constructor does what it's documented to do (merge Daniel Holth's | |
| 1317 | fancy-cookies-2 branch). | |
| 1318 | ||
| 1319 | Features | |
| 1320 | -------- | |
| 1321 | ||
| 1322 | - Add ``path`` and ``http_only`` options to | |
| 1323 | AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy constructor (merge Daniel Holth's | |
| 1324 | fancy-cookies-2 branch). | |
| 1325 | ||
| 1326 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 1327 | --------------------------- | |
| 1328 | ||
| 1329 | - Remove ``view_header``, ``view_accept``, ``view_xhr``, | |
| 1330 | ``view_path_info``, ``view_request_method``, ``view_request_param``, | |
| 1331 | and ``view_containment`` predicate arguments from the | |
| 1332 | ``Configurator.add_route`` argument list. These arguments were | |
| 1333 | speculative. If you need the features exposed by these arguments, | |
| 1334 | add a view associated with a route using the ``route_name`` argument | |
| 1335 | to the ``add_view`` method instead. | |
| 1336 | ||
| 1337 | - Remove ``view_header``, ``view_accept``, ``view_xhr``, | |
| 1338 | ``view_path_info``, ``view_request_method``, ``view_request_param``, | |
| 1339 | and ``view_containment`` predicate arguments from the ``route`` ZCML | |
| 1340 | directive attribute set. These attributes were speculative. If you | |
| 1341 | need the features exposed by these attributes, add a view associated | |
| 1342 | with a route using the ``route_name`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML | |
| 1343 | directive instead. | |
| 1344 | ||
| 1345 | Dependencies | |
| 1346 | ------------ | |
| 1347 | ||
| 1348 | - Remove dependency on ``sourcecodegen`` (not depended upon by | |
| 1349 | Chameleon 1.1.1+). | |
| 1350 | ||
| 1351 | 1.2b3 (2010-01-24) | |
| 1352 | ================== | |
| 1353 | ||
| 1354 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1355 | --------- | |
| 1356 | ||
| 1357 | - When "hybrid mode" (both traversal and urldispatch) is in use, | |
| 1358 | default to finding route-related views even if a non-route-related | |
| 1359 | view registration has been made with a more specific context. The | |
| 1360 | default used to be to find views with a more specific context first. | |
| 1361 | Use the new ``use_global_views`` argument to the route definition to | |
| 1362 | get back the older behavior. | |
| 1363 | ||
| 1364 | Features | |
| 1365 | -------- | |
| 1366 | ||
| 1367 | - Add ``use_global_views`` argument to ``add_route`` method of | |
| 1368 | Configurator. When this argument is true, views registered for *no* | |
| 1369 | route will be found if no more specific view related to the route is | |
| 1370 | found. | |
| 1371 | ||
| 1372 | - Add ``use_global_views`` attribute to ZCML ``<route>`` directive | |
| 1373 | (see above). | |
| 1374 | ||
| 1375 | Internal | |
| 1376 | -------- | |
| 1377 | ||
| 1378 | - When registering a view, register the view adapter with the | |
| 1379 | "requires" interfaces as ``(request_type, context_type)`` rather | |
| 1380 | than ``(context_type, request_type)``. This provides for saner | |
| 1381 | lookup, because the registration will always be made with a specific | |
| 1382 | request interface, but registration may not be made with a specific | |
| 1383 | context interface. In general, when creating multiadapters, you | |
| 08c221 | 1384 | want to order the requires interfaces so that the elements which |
| b7c935 | 1385 | are more likely to be registered using specific interfaces are |
| CM | 1386 | ordered before those which are less likely. |
| 1387 | ||
| 1388 | 1.2b2 (2010-01-21) | |
| 1389 | ================== | |
| 1390 | ||
| 1391 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1392 | --------- | |
| 1393 | ||
| 1394 | - When the ``Configurator`` is passed an instance of | |
| 1395 | ``zope.component.registry.Components`` as a ``registry`` constructor | |
| 1396 | argument, fix the instance up to have the attributes we expect of an | |
| 1397 | instance of ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` when ``setup_registry`` | |
| 1398 | is called. This makes it possible to use the global Zope component | |
| 1399 | registry as a BFG application registry. | |
| 1400 | ||
| 1401 | - When WebOb 0.9.7.1 was used, a deprecation warning was issued for | |
| 1402 | the class attribute named ``charset`` within | |
| 1403 | ``repoze.bfg.request.Request``. BFG now *requires* WebOb >= 0.9.7, | |
| 1404 | and code was added so that this deprecation warning has disappeared. | |
| 1405 | ||
| 1406 | - Fix a view lookup ordering bug whereby a view with a larger number | |
| 1407 | of predicates registered first (literally first, not "earlier") for | |
| 1408 | a triad would lose during view lookup to one registered with fewer. | |
| 1409 | ||
| 1410 | - Make sure views with exactly N custom predicates are always called | |
| 1411 | before views with exactly N non-custom predicates given all else is | |
| 1412 | equal in the view configuration. | |
| 1413 | ||
| 1414 | Documentation | |
| 1415 | ------------- | |
| 1416 | ||
| 1417 | - Change renderings of ZCML directive documentation. | |
| 1418 | ||
| 1419 | - Add a narrative documentation chapter: "Using the Zope Component | |
| 1420 | Architecture in repoze.bfg". | |
| 1421 | ||
| 1422 | Dependencies | |
| 1423 | ------------ | |
| 1424 | ||
| 1425 | - Require WebOb >= 0.9.7 | |
| 1426 | ||
| 1427 | 1.2b1 (2010-01-18) | |
| 1428 | ================== | |
| 1429 | ||
| 1430 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1431 | --------- | |
| 1432 | ||
| 1433 | - In ``bfg_routesalchemy``, ``bfg_alchemy`` paster templates and the | |
| 1434 | ``bfgwiki2`` tutorial, clean up the SQLAlchemy connection by | |
| 1435 | registering a ``repoze.tm.after_end`` callback instead of relying on | |
| 1436 | a ``__del__`` method of a ``Cleanup`` class added to the WSGI | |
| 1437 | environment. The ``__del__`` strategy was fragile and caused | |
| 1438 | problems in the wild. Thanks to Daniel Holth for testing. | |
| 1439 | ||
| 1440 | Features | |
| 1441 | -------- | |
| 1442 | ||
| 1443 | - Read logging configuration from PasteDeploy config file ``loggers`` | |
| 1444 | section (and related) when ``paster bfgshell`` is invoked. | |
| 1445 | ||
| 1446 | Documentation | |
| 1447 | ------------- | |
| 1448 | ||
| 1449 | - Major rework in preparation for book publication. | |
| 1450 | ||
| 1451 | 1.2a11 (2010-01-05) | |
| 1452 | =================== | |
| 1453 | ||
| 1454 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1455 | --------- | |
| 1456 | ||
| 1457 | - Make ``paster bfgshell`` and ``paster create -t bfg_xxx`` work on | |
| 1458 | Jython (fix minor incompatibility with treatment of ``__doc__`` at | |
| 1459 | the class level). | |
| 1460 | ||
| 1461 | - Updated dependency on ``WebOb`` to require a version which supports | |
| 1462 | features now used in tests. | |
| 1463 | ||
| 1464 | Features | |
| 1465 | -------- | |
| 1466 | ||
| 1467 | - Jython compatibility (at least when repoze.bfg.jinja2 is used as the | |
| 1468 | templating engine; Chameleon does not work under Jython). | |
| 1469 | ||
| 1470 | - Show the derived abspath of template resource specifications in the | |
| 1471 | traceback when a renderer template cannot be found. | |
| 1472 | ||
| 1473 | - Show the original traceback when a Chameleon template cannot be | |
| 1474 | rendered due to a platform incompatibility. | |
| 1475 | ||
| 1476 | 1.2a10 (2010-01-04) | |
| 1477 | =================== | |
| 1478 | ||
| 1479 | Features | |
| 1480 | -------- | |
| 1481 | ||
| 1482 | - The ``Configurator.add_view`` method now accepts an argument named | |
| 1483 | ``context``. This is an alias for the older argument named | |
| 1484 | ``for_``; it is preferred over ``for_``, but ``for_`` will continue | |
| 1485 | to be supported "forever". | |
| 1486 | ||
| 1487 | - The ``view`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named | |
| 1488 | ``context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named | |
| 1489 | ``for``; it is preferred over ``for``, but ``for`` will continue to | |
| 1490 | be supported "forever". | |
| 1491 | ||
| 1492 | - The ``Configurator.add_route`` method now accepts an argument named | |
| 1493 | ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older argument named | |
| 1494 | ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` | |
| 1495 | will continue to be supported "forever". | |
| 1496 | ||
| 1497 | - The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts an attribute named | |
| 1498 | ``view_context``. This is an alias for the older attribute named | |
| 1499 | ``view_for``; it is preferred over ``view_for``, but ``view_for`` | |
| 1500 | will continue to be supported "forever". | |
| 1501 | ||
| 1502 | Documentation and Paster Templates | |
| 1503 | ---------------------------------- | |
| 1504 | ||
| 1505 | - LaTeX rendering tweaks. | |
| 1506 | ||
| 1507 | - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_view`` method that used its | |
| 1508 | ``for_`` argument now use the ``context`` argument instead. | |
| 1509 | ||
| 1510 | - All uses of the ``Configurator.add_route`` method that used its | |
| 1511 | ``view_for`` argument now use the ``view_context`` argument instead. | |
| 1512 | ||
| 1513 | - All uses of the ``view`` ZCML directive that used its ``for`` | |
| 1514 | attribute now use the ``context`` attribute instead. | |
| 1515 | ||
| 1516 | - All uses of the ``route`` ZCML directive that used its ``view_for`` | |
| 1517 | attribute now use the ``view_context`` attribute instead. | |
| 1518 | ||
| 1519 | - Add a (minimal) tutorial dealing with use of ``repoze.catalog`` in a | |
| 1520 | ``repoze.bfg`` application. | |
| 1521 | ||
| 1522 | Documentation Licensing | |

| 1548 | Documentation | |
| 1549 | ------------- | |
| 1550 | ||
| 1551 | - Added manual index entries to generated index. | |
| 1552 | ||
| 1553 | - Document the previously existing (but non-API) | |
| 1554 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.setup_registry`` method as | |
| 1555 | an official API of a ``Configurator``. | |
| 1556 | ||
| 1557 | - Fix syntax errors in various documentation code blocks. | |
| 1558 | ||
| 1559 | - Created new top-level documentation section: "ZCML Directives". | |
| 1560 | This section contains detailed ZCML directive information, some of | |
| 1561 | which was removed from various narrative chapters. | |
| 1562 | ||
| 1563 | - The LaTeX rendering of the documentation has been improved. | |
| 1564 | ||
| 1565 | - Added a "Fore-Matter" section with author, copyright, and licensing | |
| 1566 | information. | |
| 1567 | ||
| 1568 | 1.2a8 (2009-12-24) | |
| 1569 | ================== | |
| 1570 | ||
| 1571 | Features | |
| 1572 | -------- | |
| 1573 | ||
| 1574 | - Add a ``**kw`` arg to the ``Configurator.add_settings`` API. | |
| 1575 | ||
| 1576 | - Add ``hook_zca`` and ``unhook_zca`` methods to the ``Configurator`` | |
| 1577 | API. | |
| 1578 | ||
| 1579 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` method now returns a | |
| 1580 | ``Configurator`` instance which can be used to do further | |
| 1581 | configuration during unit tests. | |
| 1582 | ||
| 1583 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1584 | --------- | |
| 1585 | ||
| 1586 | - The ``json`` renderer failed to set the response content type to | |
| 1587 | ``application/json``. It now does, by setting | |
| 1588 | ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already | |
| 1589 | set. | |
| 1590 | ||
| 1591 | - The ``string`` renderer failed to set the response content type to | |
| 1592 | ``text/plain``. It now does, by setting | |
| 1593 | ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already | |
| 1594 | set. | |
| 1595 | ||
| 1596 | Documentation | |
| 1597 | ------------- | |
| 1598 | ||
| 1599 | - General documentation improvements by using better Sphinx roles such | |
| 1600 | as "class", "func", "meth", and so on. This means that there are | |
| 1601 | many more hyperlinks pointing to API documentation for API | |
| 1602 | definitions in all narrative, tutorial, and API documentation | |
| 1603 | elements. | |
| 1604 | ||
| 1605 | - Added a description of imperative configuration in various places | |
| 1606 | which only described ZCML configuration. | |
| 1607 | ||
| 1608 | - A syntactical refreshing of various tutorials. | |
| 1609 | ||
| 1610 | - Added the ``repoze.bfg.authentication``, | |
| 1611 | ``repoze.bfg.authorization``, and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` modules | |
| 1612 | to API documentation. | |
| 1613 | ||
| 1614 | Deprecations | |
| 1615 | ------------ | |
| 1616 | ||
| 1617 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerRoutesMapper`` API (added in an | |
| 1618 | early 1.2 alpha) was deprecated. Its import now generates a | |
| 1619 | deprecation warning. | |
| 1620 | ||
| 1621 | 1.2a7 (2009-12-20) | |
| 1622 | ================== | |
| 1623 | ||
| 1624 | Features | |
| 1625 | -------- | |
| 1626 | ||
| 1627 | - Add four new testing-related APIs to the | |
| 1628 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class: | |
| 1629 | ``testing_securitypolicy``, ``testing_models``, | |
| 1630 | ``testing_add_subscriber``, and ``testing_add_template``. These | |
| 1631 | were added in order to provide more direct access to the | |
| 1632 | functionality of the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` APIs named | |
| 1633 | ``registerDummySecurityPolicy``, ``registerModels``, | |
| 1634 | ``registerEventListener``, and ``registerTemplateRenderer`` when a | |
| 1635 | configurator is used. The ``testing`` APIs named are nominally | |
| 1636 | deprecated (although they will likely remain around "forever", as | |
| 1637 | they are in heavy use in the wild). | |
| 1638 | ||
| 1639 | - Add a new API to the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` | |
| 1640 | class: ``add_settings``. This API can be used to add "settings" | |
| 1641 | (information returned within via the | |
| 1642 | ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API) after the configurator has | |
| 1643 | been initially set up. This is most useful for testing purposes. | |
| 1644 | ||
| 1645 | - Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator`` | |
| 1646 | ``add_view`` method, the ``bfg_view`` decorator and the attribute | |
| 1647 | list of the ZCML ``view`` directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is | |
| 1648 | specified, it must be a sequence of predicate callables (a predicate | |
| 1649 | callable accepts two arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and | |
| 1650 | returns ``True`` or ``False``). The associated view callable will | |
| 1651 | only be invoked if all custom predicates return ``True``. Use one | |
| 1652 | or more custom predicates when no existing predefined predicate is | |
| 1653 | useful. Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely. | |
| 1654 | ||
| 1655 | - Add a ``custom_predicates`` argument to the ``Configurator`` | |
| 1656 | ``add_route`` and the attribute list of the ZCML ``route`` | |
| 1657 | directive. If ``custom_predicates`` is specified, it must be a | |
| 1658 | sequence of predicate callables (a predicate callable accepts two | |
| 1659 | arguments: ``context`` and ``request`` and returns ``True`` or | |
| 1660 | ``False``). The associated route will match will only be invoked if | |
| 1661 | all custom predicates return ``True``, else route matching | |
| 1662 | continues. Note that the value ``context`` will always be ``None`` | |
| 1663 | when passed to a custom route predicate. Use one or more custom | |
| 1664 | predicates when no existing predefined predicate is useful. | |
| 1665 | Predefined and custom predicates can be mixed freely. | |
| 1666 | ||
| 1667 | Internal | |
| 1668 | -------- | |
| 1669 | ||
| 1670 | - Remove the ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTraverser`` function. This | |
| 1671 | function was never an API. | |
| 1672 | ||
| 1673 | Documenation | |
| 1674 | ------------ | |
| 1675 | ||
| 1676 | - Doc-deprecated most helper functions in the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` | |
| 1677 | module. These helper functions likely won't be removed any time | |
| 1678 | soon, nor will they generate a warning any time soon, due to their | |
| 1679 | heavy use in the wild, but equivalent behavior exists in methods of | |
| 1680 | a Configurator. | |
| 1681 | ||
| 1682 | 1.2a6 (2009-12-18) | |
| 1683 | ================== | |
| 1684 | ||
| 1685 | Features | |
| 1686 | -------- | |
| 1687 | ||
| 1688 | - The ``Configurator`` object now has two new methods: ``begin`` and | |
| 1689 | ``end``. The ``begin`` method is meant to be called before any | |
| 1690 | "configuration" begins (e.g. before ``add_view``, et. al are | |
| 1691 | called). The ``end`` method is meant to be called after all | |
| 1692 | "configuration" is complete. | |
| 1693 | ||
| 1694 | Previously, before there was imperative configuration at all (1.1 | |
| 1695 | and prior), configuration begin and end was invariably implied by | |
| 1696 | the process of loading a ZCML file. When a ZCML load happened, the | |
| 1697 | threadlocal data structure containing the request and registry was | |
| 1698 | modified before the load, and torn down after the load, making sure | |
| 1699 | that all framework code that needed ``get_current_registry`` for the | |
| 1700 | duration of the ZCML load was satisfied. | |
| 1701 | ||
| 1702 | Some API methods called during imperative configuration, (such as | |
| 1703 | ``Configurator.add_view`` when a renderer is involved) end up for | |
| 1704 | historical reasons calling ``get_current_registry``. However, in | |
| 1705 | 1.2a5 and below, the Configurator supplied no functionality that | |
| 1706 | allowed people to make sure that ``get_current_registry`` returned | |
| 1707 | the registry implied by the configurator being used. ``begin`` now | |
| 1708 | serves this purpose. Inversely, ``end`` pops the thread local | |
| 1709 | stack, undoing the actions of ``begin``. | |
| 1710 | ||
| 1711 | We make this boundary explicit to reduce the potential for confusion | |
| 1712 | when the configurator is used in different circumstances (e.g. in | |
| 1713 | unit tests and app code vs. just in initial app setup). | |
| 1714 | ||
| 1715 | Existing code written for 1.2a1-1.2a5 which does not call ``begin`` | |
| 1716 | or ``end`` continues to work in the same manner it did before. It | |
| 1717 | is however suggested that this code be changed to call ``begin`` and | |
| 1718 | ``end`` to reduce the potential for confusion in the future. | |
| 1719 | ||
| 1720 | - All ``paster`` templates which generate an application skeleton now | |
| 1721 | make use of the new ``begin`` and ``end`` methods of the | |
| 1722 | Configurator they use in their respective copies of ``run.py`` and | |
| 1723 | ``tests.py``. | |
| 1724 | ||
| 1725 | Documentation | |
| 1726 | ------------- | |
| 1727 | ||
| 1728 | - All documentation that makes use of a ``Configurator`` object to do | |
| 1729 | application setup and test setup now makes use of the new ``begin`` | |
| 1730 | and ``end`` methods of the configurator. | |
| 1731 | ||
| 1732 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1733 | --------- | |
| 1734 | ||
| 1735 | - When a ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or | |
| 1736 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` *class* (as opposed to instance) | |
| 1737 | was raised as an exception within a root factory (or route root | |
| 1738 | factory), the exception would not be caught properly by the | |
| 1739 | ``repoze.bfg.`` Router and it would propagate to up the call stack, | |
| 1740 | as opposed to rendering the not found view or the forbidden view as | |
| 1741 | would have been expected. | |
| 1742 | ||
| 1743 | - When Chameleon page or text templates used as renderers were added | |
| 1744 | imperatively (via ``Configurator.add_view`` or some derivative), | |
| 1745 | they too-eagerly attempted to look up the ``reload_templates`` | |
| 1746 | setting via ``get_settings``, meaning they were always registered in | |
| 1747 | non-auto-reload-mode (the default). Each now waits until its | |
| 1748 | respective ``template`` attribute is accessed to look up the value. | |
| 1749 | ||
| 1750 | - When a route with the same name as a previously registered route was | |
| 1751 | added, the old route was not removed from the mapper's routelist. | |
| 1752 | Symptom: the old registered route would be used (and possibly | |
| 1753 | matched) during route lookup when it should not have had a chance to | |
| 1754 | ever be used. | |
| 1755 | ||
| 1756 | 1.2a5 (2009-12-10) | |
| 1757 | ================== | |
| 1758 | ||
| 1759 | Features | |
| 1760 | -------- | |
| 1761 | ||
| 1762 | - When the ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` or | |
| 1763 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` error is raised from within a | |
| 1764 | custom root factory or the ``factory`` of a route, the appropriate | |
| 1765 | response is now sent to the requesting user agent (the result of the | |
| 1766 | notfound view or the forbidden view, respectively). When these | |
| 1767 | errors are raised from within a root factory, the ``context`` passed | |
| 1768 | to the notfound or forbidden view will be ``None``. Also, the | |
| 1769 | request will not be decorated with ``view_name``, ``subpath``, | |
| 1770 | ``context``, etc. as would normally be the case if traversal had | |
| 1771 | been allowed to take place. | |
| 1772 | ||
| 1773 | Internals | |
| 1774 | --------- | |
| 1775 | ||
| 1776 | - The exception class representing the error raised by various methods | |
| 1777 | of a ``Configurator`` is now importable as | |
| 1778 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.ConfigurationError``. | |
| 1779 | ||
| 1780 | Documentation | |
| 1781 | ------------- | |
| 1782 | ||
| 1783 | - General documentation freshening which takes imperative | |
| 1784 | configuration into account in more places and uses glossary | |
| 1785 | references more liberally. | |
| 1786 | ||
| 1787 | - Remove explanation of changing the request type in a new request | |
| 1788 | event subscriber, as other predicates are now usually an easier way | |
| 1789 | to get this done. | |
| 1790 | ||
| 1791 | - Added "Thread Locals" narrative chapter to documentation, and added | |
| 1792 | a API chapter documenting the ``repoze.bfg.threadlocals`` module. | |
| 1793 | ||
| 1794 | - Added a "Special Exceptions" section to the "Views" narrative | |
| 1795 | documentation chapter explaining the effect of raising | |
| 1796 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound`` and | |
| 1797 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden`` from within view code. | |
| 1798 | ||
| 1799 | Dependencies | |
| 1800 | ------------ | |
| 1801 | ||
| 1802 | - A new dependency on the ``twill`` package was added to the | |
| 1803 | ``setup.py`` ``tests_require`` argument (Twill will only be | |
| 1804 | downloaded when ``repoze.bfg`` ``setup.py test`` or ``setup.py | |
| 1805 | nosetests`` is invoked). | |
| 1806 | ||
| 1807 | 1.2a4 (2009-12-07) | |
| 1808 | ================== | |
| 1809 | ||
| 1810 | Features | |
| 1811 | -------- | |
| 1812 | ||
| 1813 | - ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` now accepts a new constructor | |
| 1814 | keyword argument: ``__provides__``. If this constructor argument is | |
| 1815 | provided, it should be an interface or a tuple of interfaces. The | |
| 1816 | resulting model will then provide these interfaces (they will be | |
| 1817 | attached to the constructed model via | |
| 1818 | ``zope.interface.alsoProvides``). | |
| 1819 | ||
| 1820 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1821 | --------- | |
| 1822 | ||
| 1823 | - Operation on GAE was broken, presumably because the | |
| 1824 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` module began to attempt to import the | |
| 1825 | ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` and ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_text`` | |
| 1826 | modules, and these cannot be used on non-CPython platforms. It now | |
| 1827 | tolerates startup time import failures for these modules, and only | |
| 1828 | raise an import error when a template from one of these packages is | |
| 1829 | actually used. | |
| 1830 | ||
| 1831 | 1.2a3 (2009-12-02) | |
| 1832 | ================== | |
| 1833 | ||
| 1834 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1835 | --------- | |
| 1836 | ||
| 1837 | - The ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` function inappropriately passed | |
| 1838 | along ``_query`` and/or ``_anchor`` arguments to the | |
| 1839 | ``mapper.generate`` function, resulting in blowups. | |
| 1840 | ||
| 1841 | - When two views were registered with differering ``for`` interfaces | |
| 1842 | or classes, and the ``for`` of first view registered was a | |
| 1843 | superclass of the second, the ``repoze.bfg`` view machinery would | |
| 1844 | incorrectly associate the two views with the same "multiview". | |
| 1845 | Multiviews are meant to be collections of views that have *exactly* | |
| 1846 | the same for/request/viewname values, without taking inheritance | |
| 1847 | into account. Symptom: wrong view callable found even when you had | |
| 1848 | correctly specified a ``for_`` interface/class during view | |
| 1849 | configuration for one or both view configurations. | |
| 1850 | ||
| 1851 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 1852 | --------------------------- | |
| 1853 | ||
| 1854 | - The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module has been removed; it had been | |
| 1855 | deprecated in 1.1 and never actually had any APIs in it. | |
| 1856 | ||
| 1857 | 1.2a2 (2009-11-29) | |
| 1858 | ================== | |
| 1859 | ||
| 1860 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1861 | --------- | |
| 1862 | ||
| 08c221 | 1863 | - The long description of this package (as shown on PyPI) was not |
| b7c935 | 1864 | valid reStructuredText, and so was not renderable. |
| CM | 1865 | |
| 1866 | - Trying to use an HTTP method name string such as ``GET`` as a | |
| 1867 | ``request_type`` predicate argument caused a startup time failure | |
| 1868 | when it was encountered in imperative configuration or in a | |
| 1869 | decorator (symptom: ``Type Error: Required specification must be a | |
| 1870 | specification``). This now works again, although ``request_method`` | |
| 1871 | is now the preferred predicate argument for associating a view | |
| 1872 | configuration with an HTTP request method. | |
| 1873 | ||
| 1874 | Documentation | |
| 1875 | ------------- | |
| 1876 | ||
| 1877 | - Fixed "Startup" narrative documentation chapter; it was explaining | |
| 1878 | "the old way" an application constructor worked. | |
| 1879 | ||
| 1880 | 1.2a1 (2009-11-28) | |
| 1881 | ================== | |
| 1882 | ||
| 1883 | Features | |
| 1884 | -------- | |
| 1885 | ||
| 1886 | - An imperative configuration mode. | |
| 1887 | ||
| 1888 | A ``repoze.bfg`` application can now begin its life as a single | |
| 1889 | Python file. Later, the application might evolve into a set of | |
| 1890 | Python files in a package. Even later, it might start making use of | |
| 1891 | other configuration features, such as ``ZCML``. But neither the use | |
| 1892 | of a package nor the use of non-imperative configuration is required | |
| 1893 | to create a simple ``repoze.bfg`` application any longer. | |
| 1894 | ||
| 1895 | Imperative configuration makes ``repoze.bfg`` competetive with | |
| 1896 | "microframeworks" such as `Bottle <http://bottle.paws.de/>`_ and | |
| 1897 | `Tornado <http://www.tornadoweb.org/>`_. ``repoze.bfg`` has a good | |
| 1898 | deal of functionality that most microframeworks lack, so this is | |
| 1899 | hopefully a "best of both worlds" feature. | |
| 1900 | ||
| 1901 | The simplest possible ``repoze.bfg`` application is now:: | |
| 1902 | ||
| 1903 | from webob import Response | |
| 1904 | from wsgiref import simple_server | |
| 1905 | from repoze.bfg.configuration import Configurator | |
| 1906 | ||
| 1907 | def hello_world(request): | |
| 1908 | return Response('Hello world!') | |
| 1909 | ||
| 1910 | if __name__ == '__main__': | |
| 1911 | config = Configurator() | |
| 1912 | config.add_view(hello_world) | |
| 1913 | app = config.make_wsgi_app() | |
| 1914 | simple_server.make_server('', 8080, app).serve_forever() | |
| 1915 | ||
| 1916 | - A new class now exists: ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``. | |
| 1917 | This class forms the basis for sharing machinery between | |
| 1918 | "imperatively" configured applications and traditional | |
| 1919 | declaratively-configured applications. | |
| 1920 | ||
| 1921 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` function now accepts three extra | |
| 1922 | optional keyword arguments: ``registry``, ``request`` and | |
| 1923 | ``hook_zca``. | |
| 1924 | ||
| 1925 | If the ``registry`` argument is not ``None``, the argument will be | |
| 1926 | treated as the registry that is set as the "current registry" (it | |
| 1927 | will be returned by ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry``) | |
| 1928 | for the duration of the test. If the ``registry`` argument is | |
| 1929 | ``None`` (the default), a new registry is created and used for the | |
| 1930 | duration of the test. | |
| 1931 | ||
| 1932 | The value of the ``request`` argument is used as the "current | |
| 1933 | request" (it will be returned by | |
| 1934 | ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_request``) for the duration of | |
| 1935 | the test; it defaults to ``None``. | |
| 1936 | ||
| 1937 | If ``hook_zca`` is ``True`` (the default), the | |
| 1938 | ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function will be hooked with a | |
| 1939 | function that returns the value of ``registry`` (or the | |
| 1940 | default-created registry if ``registry`` is ``None``) instead of the | |
| 1941 | registry returned by ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``, | |
| 1942 | causing the Zope Component Architecture API (``getSiteManager``, | |
| 1943 | ``getAdapter``, ``getUtility``, and so on) to use the testing | |
| 1944 | registry instead of the global ZCA registry. | |
| 1945 | ||
| 1946 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown`` function now accepts an | |
| 1947 | ``unhook_zca`` argument. If this argument is ``True`` (the | |
| 1948 | default), ``zope.component.getSiteManager.reset()`` will be called. | |
| 1949 | This will cause the result of the ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` | |
| 1950 | function to be the global ZCA registry (the result of | |
| 1951 | ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``) once again. | |
| 1952 | ||
| 1953 | - The ``run.py`` module in various ``repoze.bfg`` ``paster`` templates | |
| 1954 | now use a ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class instead of | |
| 1955 | the (now-legacy) ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` function to produce | |
| 1956 | a WSGI application. | |
| 1957 | ||
| 1958 | Documentation | |
| 1959 | ------------- | |
| 1960 | ||
| 1961 | - The documentation now uses the "request-only" view calling | |
| 1962 | convention in most examples (as opposed to the ``context, request`` | |
| 1963 | convention). This is a documentation-only change; the ``context, | |
| 1964 | request`` convention is also supported and documented, and will be | |
| 1965 | "forever". | |
| 1966 | ||
| 1967 | - ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` API documentation has been added. | |
| 1968 | ||
| 1969 | - A narrative documentation chapter entitled "Creating Your First | |
| 1970 | ``repoze.bfg`` Application" has been added. This chapter details | |
| 1971 | usage of the new ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class, | |
| 1972 | and demonstrates a simplified "imperative-mode" configuration; doing | |
| 1973 | ``repoze.bfg`` application configuration imperatively was previously | |
| 1974 | much more difficult. | |
| 1975 | ||
| 1976 | - A narrative documentation chapter entitled "Configuration, | |
| 1977 | Decorations and Code Scanning" explaining ZCML- vs. imperative- | |
| 1978 | vs. decorator-based configuration equivalence. | |
| 1979 | ||
| 1980 | - The "ZCML Hooks" chapter has been renamed to "Hooks"; it documents | |
| 1981 | how to override hooks now via imperative configuration and ZCML. | |
| 1982 | ||
| 1983 | - The explanation about how to supply an alternate "response factory" | |
| 1984 | has been removed from the "Hooks" chapter. This feature may be | |
| 1985 | removed in a later release (it still works now, it's just not | |
| 1986 | documented). | |
| 1987 | ||
| 1988 | - Add a section entitled "Test Set Up and Tear Down" to the | |
| 1989 | unittesting chapter. | |
| 1990 | ||
| 1991 | Bug Fixes | |
| 1992 | ---------- | |
| 1993 | ||
| 1994 | - The ACL authorization policy debugging output when | |
| 1995 | ``debug_authorization`` console debugging output was turned on | |
| 1996 | wasn't as clear as it could have been when a view execution was | |
| 1997 | denied due to an authorization failure resulting from the set of | |
| 1998 | principals passed never having matched any ACE in any ACL in the | |
| 1999 | lineage. Now in this case, we report ``<default deny>`` as the ACE | |
| 2000 | value and either the root ACL or ``<No ACL found on any object in | |
| 2001 | model lineage>`` if no ACL was found. | |
| 2002 | ||
| 2003 | - When two views were registered with the same ``accept`` argument, | |
| 2004 | but were otherwise registered with the same arguments, if a request | |
| 2005 | entered the application which had an ``Accept`` header that accepted | |
| 2006 | *either* of the media types defined by the set of views registered | |
| 2007 | with predicates that otherwise matched, a more or less "random" one | |
| 2008 | view would "win". Now, we try harder to use the view callable | |
| 2009 | associated with the view configuration that has the most specific | |
| 2010 | ``accept`` argument. Thanks to Alberto Valverde for an initial | |
| 2011 | patch. | |
| 2012 | ||
| 2013 | Internals | |
| 2014 | --------- | |
| 2015 | ||
| 2016 | - The routes mapper is no longer a root factory wrapper. It is now | |
| 2017 | consulted directly by the router. | |
| 2018 | ||
| 2019 | - The ``repoze.bfg.registry.make_registry`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2020 | ||
| 2021 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.map_view`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2022 | ||
| 2023 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.owrap_view`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2024 | ||
| 2025 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.predicate_wrap`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2026 | ||
| 2027 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.secure_view`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2028 | ||
| 2029 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.authdebug_view`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2030 | ||
| 2031 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.renderer_from_name`` callable has been | |
| 2032 | removed. Use ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.renderer_from_name`` | |
| 2033 | instead (still not an API, however). | |
| 2034 | ||
| 2035 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.derive_view`` callable has been removed. Use | |
| 2036 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator.derive_view`` instead (still | |
| 2037 | not an API, however). | |
| 2038 | ||
| 2039 | - The ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options`` callable has been removed. | |
| 2040 | Its job has been subsumed by the ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings`` | |
| 2041 | class constructor. | |
| 2042 | ||
| 2043 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.requestonly`` function has been moved to | |
| 2044 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.requestonly``. | |
| 2045 | ||
| 2046 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.rendered_response`` function has been moved to | |
| 2047 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response``. | |
| 2048 | ||
| 2049 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.decorate_view`` function has been moved to | |
| 2050 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.decorate_view``. | |
| 2051 | ||
| 2052 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.MultiView`` class has been moved to | |
| 2053 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.MultiView``. | |
| 2054 | ||
| 2055 | - The ``repoze.bfg.zcml.Uncacheable`` class has been removed. | |
| 2056 | ||
| 2057 | - The ``repoze.bfg.resource.resource_spec`` function has been removed. | |
| 2058 | ||
| 2059 | - All ZCML directives which deal with attributes which are paths now | |
| 2060 | use the ``path`` method of the ZCML context to resolve a relative | |
| 2061 | name to an absolute one (imperative configuration requirement). | |
| 2062 | ||
| 2063 | - The ``repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root`` API now uses a 'real' WebOb | |
| 2064 | request rather than a FakeRequest when it sets up the request as a | |
| 2065 | threadlocal. | |
| 2066 | ||
| 2067 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` API now uses a 'real' WebOb | |
| 2068 | request rather than a FakeRequest when it calls the traverser. | |
| 2069 | ||
| 2070 | - The ``repoze.bfg.request.FakeRequest`` class has been removed. | |
| 2071 | ||
| 2072 | - Most uses of the ZCA threadlocal API (the ``getSiteManager``, | |
| 2073 | ``getUtility``, ``getAdapter``, ``getMultiAdapter`` threadlocal API) | |
| 2074 | have been removed from the core. Instead, when a threadlocal is | |
| 2075 | necessary, the core uses the | |
| 2076 | ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` API to obtain the | |
| 2077 | registry. | |
| 2078 | ||
| 2079 | - The internal ILogger utility named ``repoze.bfg.debug`` is now just | |
| 2080 | an IDebugLogger unnamed utility. A named utility with the old name | |
| 2081 | is registered for b/w compat. | |
| 2082 | ||
| 2083 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` interface was | |
| 2084 | removed; it has become unused. | |
| 2085 | ||
| 2086 | - Instead of depending on the ``martian`` package to do code scanning, | |
| 2087 | we now just use our own scanning routines. | |
| 2088 | ||
| 2089 | - We now no longer have a dependency on ``repoze.zcml`` package; | |
| 2090 | instead, the ``repoze.bfg`` package includes implementations of the | |
| 2091 | ``adapter``, ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives. | |
| 2092 | ||
| 2093 | - Relating to the following functions: | |
| 2094 | ||
| 2095 | ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view`` | |
| 2096 | ||
| 2097 | ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_iterable`` | |
| 2098 | ||
| 2099 | ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response`` | |
| 2100 | ||
| 2101 | ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` | |
| 2102 | ||
| 2103 | ``repoze.bfg.view.default_notfound_view`` | |
| 2104 | ||
| 2105 | ``repoze.bfg.view.default_forbidden_view`` | |
| 2106 | ||
| 2107 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.rendered_response`` | |
| 2108 | ||
| 2109 | ``repoze.bfg.security.has_permission`` | |
| 2110 | ||
| 2111 | ``repoze.bfg.security.authenticated_userid`` | |
| 2112 | ||
| 2113 | ``repoze.bfg.security.effective_principals`` | |
| 2114 | ||
| 2115 | ``repoze.bfg.security.view_execution_permitted`` | |
| 2116 | ||
| 2117 | ``repoze.bfg.security.remember`` | |
| 2118 | ||
| 2119 | ``repoze.bfg.security.forget`` | |
| 2120 | ||
| 2121 | ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` | |
| 2122 | ||
| 2123 | ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` | |
| 2124 | ||
| 2125 | ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` | |
| 2126 | ||
| 2127 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root`` | |
| 2128 | ||
| 2129 | Each of these functions now expects to be called with a request | |
| 2130 | object that has a ``registry`` attribute which represents the | |
| 2131 | current ``repoze.bfg`` registry. They fall back to obtaining the | |
| 2132 | registry from the threadlocal API. | |
| 2133 | ||
| 2134 | Backwards Incompatibilites | |
| 2135 | -------------------------- | |
| 2136 | ||
| 2137 | - Unit tests which use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` for the | |
| 2138 | purpose of isolating tests from one another may now begin to fail | |
| 2139 | due to lack of isolation between tests. | |
| 2140 | ||
| 2141 | Here's why: In repoze.bfg 1.1 and prior, the registry returned by | |
| 2142 | ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no other | |
| 2143 | registry had been pushed on to the threadlocal stack was the | |
| 2144 | ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry (aka the | |
| 2145 | result of ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager()``). In repoze.bfg | |
| 2146 | 1.2+, however, the registry returned in this situation is the new | |
| 2147 | module-scope ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object. The | |
| 2148 | ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function clears the | |
| 2149 | ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` global registry | |
| 2150 | unconditionally. However, it does not know about the | |
| 2151 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry`` object, so it does not clear | |
| 2152 | it. | |
| 2153 | ||
| 2154 | If you use the ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` function in the | |
| 2155 | ``setUp`` of test cases in your unit test suite instead of using the | |
| 2156 | (more correct as of 1.1) ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``, you will need | |
| 2157 | to replace all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a call | |
| 2158 | to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp``. | |
| 2159 | ||
| 2160 | If replacing all calls to ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` with a | |
| 2161 | call to ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` is infeasible, you can put this | |
| 2162 | bit of code somewhere that is executed exactly **once** (*not* for | |
| 2163 | each test in a test suite; in the `` __init__.py`` of your package | |
| 2164 | or your package's ``tests`` subpackage would be a reasonable | |
| 2165 | place):: | |
| 2166 | ||
| 2167 | import zope.testing.cleanup | |
| 2168 | from repoze.bfg.testing import setUp | |
| 2169 | zope.testing.cleanup.addCleanUp(setUp) | |
| 2170 | ||
| 2171 | - When there is no "current registry" in the | |
| 2172 | ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.manager`` threadlocal data structure (this | |
| 2173 | is the case when there is no "current request" or we're not in the | |
| 2174 | midst of a ``r.b.testing.setUp``-bounded unit test), the ``.get`` | |
| 2175 | method of the manager returns a data structure containing a *global* | |
| 2176 | registry. In previous releases, this function returned the global | |
| 2177 | Zope "base" registry: the result of | |
| 2178 | ``zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager``, which is an instance of the | |
| 2179 | ``zope.component.registry.Component`` class. In this release, | |
| 2180 | however, the global registry returns a globally importable instance | |
| 2181 | of the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` class. This registry | |
| 2182 | instance can always be imported as | |
| 2183 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``. | |
| 2184 | ||
| 2185 | Effectively, this means that when you call | |
| 2186 | ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` when no request or | |
| 2187 | ``setUp`` bounded unit test is in effect, you will always get back | |
| 2188 | the global registry that lives in | |
| 2189 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.global_registry``. It also means that | |
| 2190 | ``repoze.bfg`` APIs that *call* ``get_current_registry`` will use | |
| 2191 | this registry. | |
| 2192 | ||
| 2193 | This change was made because ``repoze.bfg`` now expects the registry | |
| 2194 | it uses to have a slightly different API than a bare instance of | |
| 2195 | ``zope.component.registry.Components``. | |
| 2196 | ||
| 2197 | - View registration no longer registers a | |
| 2198 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IViewPermission`` adapter (it is no longer | |
| 2199 | checked by the framework; since 1.1, views have been responsible for | |
| 2200 | providing their own security). | |
| 2201 | ||
| 2202 | - The ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` callable no longer accepts the | |
| 2203 | ``authentication_policy`` nor the ``authorization_policy`` | |
| 2204 | arguments. This feature was deprecated in version 1.0 and has been | |
| 2205 | removed. | |
| 2206 | ||
| 2207 | - Obscure: the machinery which configured views with a | |
| 2208 | ``request_type`` *and* a ``route_name`` would ignore the request | |
| 2209 | interface implied by ``route_name`` registering a view only for the | |
| 2210 | interface implied by ``request_type``. In the unlikely event that | |
| 2211 | you were trying to use these two features together, the symptom | |
| 2212 | would have been that views that named a ``request_type`` but which | |
| 2213 | were also associated with routes were not found when the route | |
| 2214 | matched. Now if a view is configured with both a ``request_type`` | |
| 2215 | and a ``route_name``, an error is raised. | |
| 2216 | ||
| 2217 | - The ``route`` ZCML directive now no longer accepts the | |
| 2218 | ``request_type`` or ``view_request_type`` attributes. These | |
| 2219 | attributes didn't actually work in any useful way (see entry above | |
| 2220 | this one). | |
| 2221 | ||
| 2222 | - Because the ``repoze.bfg`` package now includes implementations of | |
| 2223 | the ``adapter``, ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` ZCML directives, it | |
| 2224 | is now an error to have ``<include package="repoze.zcml" | |
| 2225 | file="meta.zcml"/>`` in the ZCML of a ``repoze.bfg`` application. A | |
| 2226 | ZCML conflict error will be raised if your ZCML does so. This | |
| 2227 | shouldn't be an issue for "normal" installations; it has always been | |
| 2228 | the responsibility of the ``repoze.bfg.includes`` ZCML to include | |
| 2229 | this file in the past; it now just doesn't. | |
| 2230 | ||
| 2231 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.zcml_configure`` API was removed. Use | |
| 2232 | the ``Configurator.load_zcml`` API instead. | |
| 2233 | ||
| 2234 | Deprecations | |
| 2235 | ------------ | |
| 2236 | ||
| 2237 | - The ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` function is now nominally | |
| 2238 | deprecated. Its import and usage does not throw a warning, nor will | |
| 2239 | it probably ever disappear. However, using a | |
| 2240 | ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator`` class is now the preferred | |
| 2241 | way to generate a WSGI application. | |
| 2242 | ||
| 2243 | Note that ``make_app`` calls | |
| 2244 | ``zope.component.getSiteManager.sethook( | |
| 2245 | repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry)`` on the caller's | |
| 2246 | behalf, hooking ZCA global API lookups, for backwards compatibility | |
| 2247 | purposes. If you disuse ``make_app``, your calling code will need | |
| 2248 | to perform this call itself, at least if your application uses the | |
| 2249 | ZCA global API (``getSiteManager``, ``getAdapter``, etc). | |
| 2250 | ||
| 2251 | Dependencies | |
| 2252 | ------------ | |
| 2253 | ||
| 2254 | - A dependency on the ``martian`` package has been removed (its | |
| 2255 | functionality is replaced internally). | |
| 2256 | ||
| 2257 | - A dependency on the ``repoze.zcml`` package has been removed (its | |
| 2258 | functionality is replaced internally). | |
| 2259 | ||
| 2260 | 1.1.1 (2009-11-21) | |
| 2261 | ================== | |
| 2262 | ||
| 2263 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2264 | --------- | |
| 2265 | ||
| 2266 | - "Hybrid mode" applications (applications which explicitly used | |
| 2267 | traversal *after* url dispatch via ``<route>`` paths containing the | |
| 2268 | ``*traverse`` element) were broken in 1.1-final and all 1.1 alpha | |
| 2269 | and beta releases. Views registered without a ``route_name`` route | |
| 2270 | shadowed views registered with a ``route_name`` inappropriately. | |
| 2271 | ||
| 2272 | 1.1 (2009-11-15) | |
| 2273 | ================ | |
| 2274 | ||
| 2275 | Internals | |
| 2276 | --------- | |
| 2277 | ||
| 2278 | - Remove dead IRouteRequirement interface from ``repoze.bfg.zcml`` | |
| 2279 | module. | |
| 2280 | ||
| 2281 | Documentation | |
| 2282 | ------------- | |
| 2283 | ||
| 2284 | - Improve the "Extending an Existing Application" narrative chapter. | |
| 2285 | ||
| 2286 | - Add more sections to the "Defending Design" chapter. | |
| 2287 | ||
| 2288 | 1.1b4 (2009-11-12) | |
| 2289 | ================== | |
| 2290 | ||
| 2291 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2292 | --------- | |
| 2293 | ||
| 2294 | - Use ``alsoProvides`` in the urldispatch module to attach an | |
| 2295 | interface to the request rather than ``directlyProvides`` to avoid | |
| 2296 | disturbing interfaces set in a NewRequest event handler. | |
| 2297 | ||
| 2298 | Documentation | |
| 2299 | ------------- | |
| 2300 | ||
| 2301 | - Move 1.0.1 and previous changelog to HISTORY.txt. | |
| 2302 | ||
| 2303 | - Add examples to ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` docstring. | |
| 2304 | ||
| 2305 | - Add "Defending BFG Design" chapter to frontpage docs. | |
| 2306 | ||
| 2307 | Templates | |
| 2308 | --------- | |
| 2309 | ||
| 2310 | - Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and its import from all paster templates, | |
| 2311 | samples, and tutorials for ``distribute`` compatibility. The | |
| 2312 | documentation already explains how to install virtualenv (which will | |
| 2313 | include some ``setuptools`` package), so these files, imports and | |
| 2314 | usages were superfluous. | |
| 2315 | ||
| 2316 | Deprecations | |
| 2317 | ------------ | |
| 2318 | ||
| 2319 | - The ``options`` kw arg to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` | |
| 2320 | function is deprecated. In its place is the keyword argument | |
| 2321 | ``settings``. The ``options`` keyword continues to work, and a | |
| 2322 | deprecation warning is not emitted when it is detected. However, | |
| 2323 | the paster templates, code samples, and documentation now make | |
| 2324 | reference to ``settings`` rather than ``options``. This | |
| 2325 | change/deprecation was mainly made for purposes of clarity and | |
| 2326 | symmetry with the ``get_settings()`` API and dicussions of | |
| 2327 | "settings" in various places in the docs: we want to use the same | |
| 2328 | name to refer to the same thing everywhere. | |
| 2329 | ||
| 2330 | 1.1b3 (2009-11-06) | |
| 2331 | ================== | |
| 2332 | ||
| 2333 | Features | |
| 2334 | -------- | |
| 2335 | ||
| 2336 | - ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerRoutesMapper`` testing facility added. | |
| 2337 | This testing function registers a routes "mapper" object in the | |
| 2338 | registry, for tests which require its presence. This function is | |
| 2339 | documented in the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` API documentation. | |
| 2340 | ||
| 2341 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2342 | --------- | |
| 2343 | ||
| 2344 | - Compound statements that used an assignment entered into in an | |
| 2345 | interactive IPython session invoked via ``paster bfgshell`` no | |
| 2346 | longer fail to mutate the shell namespace correctly. For example, | |
| 2347 | this set of statements used to fail:: | |
| 2348 | ||
| 2349 | In [2]: def bar(x): return x | |
| 2350 | ...: | |
| 2351 | In [3]: list(bar(x) for x in 'abc') | |
| 2352 | Out[3]: NameError: 'bar' | |
| 2353 | ||
| 2354 | In this release, the ``bar`` function is found and the correct | |
| 2355 | output is now sent to the console. Thanks to Daniel Holth for the | |
| 2356 | patch. | |
| 2357 | ||
| 2358 | - The ``bfgshell`` command did not function properly; it was still | |
| 2359 | expecting to be able to call the root factory with a bare | |
| 2360 | ``environ`` rather than a request object. | |
| 2361 | ||
| 2362 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 2363 | --------------------------- | |
| 2364 | ||
| 2365 | - The ``repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root`` function now expects a | |
| 2366 | ``request`` object as its second argument rather than an | |
| 2367 | ``environ``. | |
| 2368 | ||
| 2369 | 1.1b2 (2009-11-02) | |
| 2370 | ================== | |
| 2371 | ||
| 2372 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2373 | --------- | |
| 2374 | ||
| 2375 | - Prevent PyPI installation failure due to ``easy_install`` trying way | |
| 2376 | too hard to guess the best version of Paste. When ``easy_install`` | |
| 2377 | pulls from PyPI it reads links off various pages to determine "more | |
| 2378 | up to date" versions. It incorrectly picks up a link for an ancient | |
| 2379 | version of a package named "Paste-Deploy-0.1" (note the dash) when | |
| 2380 | trying to find the "Paste" distribution and somehow believes it's | |
| 2381 | the latest version of "Paste". It also somehow "helpfully" decides | |
| 2382 | to check out a version of this package from SVN. We pin the Paste | |
| 2383 | dependency version to a version greater than 1.7 to work around | |
| 2384 | this ``easy_install`` bug. | |
| 2385 | ||
| 2386 | Documentation | |
| 2387 | ------------- | |
| 2388 | ||
| 2389 | - Fix "Hybrid" narrative chapter: stop claiming that ``<view>`` | |
| 2390 | statements that mention a route_name need to come afer (in XML | |
| 2391 | order) the ``<route>`` statement which creates the route. This | |
| 2392 | hasn't been true since 1.1a1. | |
| 2393 | ||
| 2394 | - "What's New in ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1" document added to narrative | |
| 2395 | documentation. | |
| 2396 | ||
| 2397 | Features | |
| 2398 | -------- | |
| 2399 | ||
| 2400 | - Add a new event type: ``repoze.bfg.events.AfterTraversal``. Events | |
| 2401 | of this type will be sent after traversal is completed, but before | |
| 2402 | any view code is invoked. Like ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest``, | |
| 2403 | This event will have a single attribute: ``request`` representing | |
| 2404 | the current request. Unlike the request attribute of | |
| 2405 | ``repoze.bfg.events.NewRequest`` however, during an AfterTraversal | |
| 2406 | event, the request object will possess attributes set by the | |
| 2407 | traverser, most notably ``context``, which will be the context used | |
| 2408 | when a view is found and invoked. The interface | |
| 2409 | ``repoze.bfg.events.IAfterTraversal`` can be used to subscribe to | |
| 2410 | the event. For example:: | |
| 2411 | ||
| 2412 | <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAfterTraversal" | |
| 2413 | handler="my.app.handle_after_traverse"/> | |
| 2414 | ||
| 2415 | Like any framework event, a subscriber function should expect one | |
| 2416 | parameter: ``event``. | |
| 2417 | ||
| 2418 | Dependencies | |
| 2419 | ------------ | |
| 2420 | ||
| 2421 | - Rather than depending on ``chameleon.core`` and ``chameleon.zpt`` | |
| 2422 | distributions individually, depend on Malthe's repackaged | |
| 2423 | ``Chameleon`` distribution (which includes both ``chameleon.core`` | |
| 2424 | and ``chameleon.zpt``). | |
| 2425 | ||
| 2426 | 1.1b1 (2009-11-01) | |
| 2427 | ================== | |
| 2428 | ||
| 2429 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2430 | --------- | |
| 2431 | ||
| 2432 | - The routes root factory called route factories and the default route | |
| 2433 | factory with an environ rather than a request. One of the symptoms | |
| 2434 | of this bug: applications generated using the ``bfg_zodb`` paster | |
| 2435 | template in 1.1a9 did not work properly. | |
| 2436 | ||
| 2437 | - Reinstate ``renderer`` alias for ``view_renderer`` in the | |
| 2438 | ``<route>`` ZCML directive (in-the-wild 1.1a bw compat). | |
| 2439 | ||
| 2440 | - ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template: change ``<route>`` | |
| 2441 | declarations: rename ``renderer`` attribute to ``view_renderer``. | |
| 2442 | ||
| 2443 | - Header values returned by the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` | |
| 2444 | ``remember`` and ``forget`` methods would be of type ``unicode``. | |
| 2445 | This violated the WSGI spec, causing a ``TypeError`` to be raised | |
| 2446 | when these headers were used under ``mod_wsgi``. | |
| 2447 | ||
| 2448 | - If a BFG app that had a route matching the root URL was mounted | |
| 2449 | under a path in modwsgi, ala ``WSGIScriptAlias /myapp | |
| 2450 | /Users/chrism/projects/modwsgi/env/bfg.wsgi``, the home route (a | |
| 2451 | route with the path of ``'/'`` or ``''``) would not match when the | |
| 2452 | path ``/myapp`` was visited (only when the path ``/myapp/`` was | |
| 2453 | visited). This is now fixed: if the urldispatch root factory notes | |
| 2454 | that the PATH_INFO is empty, it converts it to a single slash before | |
| 2455 | trying to do matching. | |
| 2456 | ||
| 2457 | Documentation | |
| 2458 | ------------- | |
| 2459 | ||
| 2460 | - In ``<route>`` declarations in tutorial ZCML, rename ``renderer`` | |
| 2461 | attribute to ``view_renderer`` (fwd compat). | |
| 2462 | ||
| 2463 | - Fix various tutorials broken by 1.1a9 ``<route>`` directive changes. | |
| 2464 | ||
| 2465 | Internal | |
| 2466 | -------- | |
| 2467 | ||
| 2468 | - Deal with a potential circref in the traversal module. | |
| 2469 | ||
| 2470 | 1.1a9 (2009-10-31) | |
| 2471 | ================== | |
| 2472 | ||
| 2473 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2474 | --------- | |
| 2475 | ||
| 2476 | - An incorrect ZCML conflict would be encountered when the | |
| 2477 | ``request_param`` predicate attribute was used on the ZCML ``view`` | |
| 2478 | directive if any two otherwise same-predicated views had the | |
| 2479 | combination of a predicate value with an ``=`` sign and one without | |
| 2480 | (e.g. ``a`` vs. ``a=123``). | |
| 2481 | ||
| 2482 | Features | |
| 2483 | -------- | |
| 2484 | ||
| 2485 | - In previous versions of BFG, the "root factory" (the ``get_root`` | |
| 2486 | callable passed to ``make_app`` or a function pointed to by the | |
| 2487 | ``factory`` attribute of a route) was called with a "bare" WSGI | |
| 2488 | environment. In this version, and going forward, it will be called | |
| 2489 | with a ``request`` object. The request object passed to the factory | |
| 2490 | implements dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing root | |
| 2491 | factory code which expects to be passed an environ will continue to | |
| 2492 | work. | |
| 2493 | ||
| 2494 | - The ``__call__`` of a plugin "traverser" implementation (registered | |
| 2495 | as an adapter for ``ITraverser`` or ``ITraverserFactory``) will now | |
| 2496 | receive a *request* as the single argument to its ``__call__`` | |
| 2497 | method. In previous versions it was passed a WSGI ``environ`` | |
| 2498 | object. The request object passed to the factory implements | |
| 2499 | dictionary-like methods in such a way that existing traverser code | |
| 2500 | which expects to be passed an environ will continue to work. | |
| 2501 | ||
| 2502 | - The ZCML ``route`` directive's attributes ``xhr``, | |
| 2503 | ``request_method``, ``path_info``, ``request_param``, ``header`` and | |
| 2504 | ``accept`` are now *route* predicates rather than *view* predicates. | |
| 2505 | If one or more of these predicates is specified in the route | |
| 2506 | configuration, all of the predicates must return true for the route | |
| 2507 | to match a request. If one or more of the route predicates | |
| 2508 | associated with a route returns ``False`` when checked during a | |
| 2509 | request, the route match fails, and the next match in the routelist | |
| 2510 | is tried. This differs from the previous behavior, where no route | |
| 2511 | predicates existed and all predicates were considered view | |
| 2512 | predicates, because in that scenario, the next route was not tried. | |
| 2513 | ||
| 2514 | Documentation | |
| 2515 | ------------- | |
| 2516 | ||
| 2517 | - Various changes were made to narrative and API documentation | |
| 2518 | supporting the change from passing a request rather than an environ | |
| 2519 | to root factories and traversers. | |
| 2520 | ||
| 2521 | Internal | |
| 2522 | -------- | |
| 2523 | ||
| 2524 | - The request implements dictionary-like methods that mutate and query | |
| 2525 | the WSGI environ. This is only for the purpose of backwards | |
| 2526 | compatibility with root factories which expect an ``environ`` rather | |
| 2527 | than a request. | |
| 2528 | ||
| 2529 | - The ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory`` function, | |
| 2530 | which returned a request factory was removed in favor of a | |
| 2531 | ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface`` function, which | |
| 2532 | returns an interface. | |
| 2533 | ||
| 2534 | - The ``repoze.bfg.request.Request`` class, which is a subclass of | |
| 2535 | ``webob.Request`` now defines its own ``__setattr__``, | |
| 2536 | ``__getattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` methods, which override the | |
| 2537 | default WebOb behavior. The default WebOb behavior stores | |
| 2538 | attributes of the request in ``self.environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']``, | |
| 2539 | and retrieves them from that dictionary during a ``__getattr__``. | |
| 2540 | This behavior was undesirable for speed and "expectation" reasons. | |
| 2541 | Now attributes of the ``request`` are stored in ``request.__dict__`` | |
| 2542 | (as you otherwise might expect from an object that did not override | |
| 2543 | these methods). | |
| 2544 | ||
| 2545 | - The router no longer calls ``repoze.bfg.traversal._traverse`` and | |
| 2546 | does its work "inline" (speed). | |
| 2547 | ||
| 2548 | - Reverse the order in which the router calls the request factory and | |
| 2549 | the root factory. The request factory is now called first; the | |
| 2550 | resulting request is passed to the root factory. | |
| 2551 | ||
| 2552 | - The ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function has been | |
| 2553 | removed. Its functionality is no longer required. | |
| 2554 | ||
| 2555 | - The "routes root factory" that wraps the default root factory when | |
| 2556 | there are routes mentioned in the configuration now attaches an | |
| 2557 | interface to the request via ``zope.interface.directlyProvides``. | |
| 2558 | This replaces logic in the (now-gone) | |
| 2559 | ``repoze.bfg.request.request_factory`` function. | |
| 2560 | ||
| 2561 | - The ``route`` and ``view`` ZCML directives now register an interface | |
| 2562 | as a named utility (retrieved from | |
| 2563 | ``repoze.bfg.request.route_request_interface``) rather than a | |
| 2564 | request factory (the previous return value of the now-missing | |
| 2565 | ``repoze.bfg.request.create_route_request_factory``. | |
| 2566 | ||
| 2567 | - The ``repoze.bfg.functional`` module was renamed to | |
| 2568 | ``repoze.bfg.compat``. | |
| 2569 | ||
| 2570 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 2571 | --------------------------- | |
| 2572 | ||
| 2573 | - Explicitly revert the feature introduced in 1.1a8: where the name | |
| 2574 | ``root`` is available as an attribute of the request before a | |
| 2575 | NewRequest event is emitted. This makes some potential future | |
| 2576 | features impossible, or at least awkward (such as grouping traversal | |
| 2577 | and view lookup into a single adapter lookup). | |
| 2578 | ||
| 2579 | - The ``containment``, ``attr`` and ``renderer`` attributes of the | |
| 2580 | ``route`` ZCML directive were removed. | |

| 2586 | -------- | |
| 2587 | ||
| 2588 | - Add ``path_info`` view configuration predicate. | |
| 2589 | ||
| 2590 | - ``paster bfgshell`` now supports IPython if it's available for | |
| 2591 | import. Thanks to Daniel Holth for the initial patch. | |
| 2592 | ||
| 2593 | - Add ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerSettings`` API, which is documented | |
| 2594 | in the "repoze.bfg.testing" API chapter. This allows for | |
| 2595 | registration of "settings" values obtained via | |
| 2596 | ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings()`` for use in unit tests. | |
| 2597 | ||
| 2598 | - The name ``root`` is available as an attribute of the request | |
| 2599 | slightly earlier now (before a NewRequest event is emitted). | |
| 2600 | ``root`` is the result of the application "root factory". | |
| 2601 | ||
| 2602 | - Added ``max_age`` parameter to ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML | |
| 2603 | directive. If this value is set, it must be an integer representing | |
| 2604 | the number of seconds which the auth tkt cookie will survive. | |
| 2605 | Mainly, its existence allows the auth_tkt cookie to survive across | |
| 2606 | browser sessions. | |
| 2607 | ||
| 2608 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2609 | --------- | |
| 2610 | ||
| 2611 | - Fix bug encountered during "scan" (when ``<scan ..>`` directive is | |
| 2612 | used in ZCML) introduced in 1.1a7. Symptom: ``AttributeError: | |
| 2613 | object has no attribute __provides__`` raised at startup time. | |
| 2614 | ||
| 2615 | - The ``reissue_time`` argument to the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` | |
| 2616 | ZCML directive now actually works. When it is set to an integer | |
| 2617 | value, an authticket set-cookie header is appended to the response | |
| 2618 | whenever a request requires authentication and 'now' minus the | |
| 2619 | authticket's timestamp is greater than ``reissue_time`` seconds. | |
| 2620 | ||
| 2621 | Documentation | |
| 2622 | ------------- | |
| 2623 | ||
| 2624 | - Add a chapter titled "Request and Response" to the narrative | |
| 2625 | documentation, content cribbed from the WebOb documentation. | |
| 2626 | ||
| 2627 | - Call out predicate attributes of ZCML directive within "Views" | |
| 2628 | chapter. | |
| 2629 | ||
| 2630 | - Fix route_url documentation (``_query`` argument documented as | |
| 2631 | ``query`` and ``_anchor`` argument documented as ``anchor``). | |
| 2632 | ||
| 2633 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 2634 | --------------------------- | |
| 2635 | ||
| 2636 | - The ``authtkt`` authentication policy ``remember`` method now no | |
| 2637 | longer honors ``token`` or ``userdata`` keyword arguments. | |
| 2638 | ||
| 2639 | Internal | |
| 2640 | -------- | |
| 2641 | ||
| 2642 | - Change how ``bfg_view`` decorator works when used as a class method | |
| 2643 | decorator. In 1.1a7, the``scan``directive actually tried to grope | |
| 2644 | every class in scanned package at startup time, calling ``dir`` | |
| 2645 | against each found class, and subsequently invoking ``getattr`` | |
| 2646 | against each thing found by ``dir`` to see if it was a method. This | |
| 2647 | led to some strange symptoms (e.g. ``AttributeError: object has no | |
| 2648 | attribute __provides__``), and was generally just a bad idea. Now, | |
| 2649 | instead of groping classes for methods at startup time, we just | |
| 2650 | cause the ``bfg_view`` decorator itself to populate the method's | |
| 2651 | class' ``__dict__`` when it is used as a method decorator. This | |
| 2652 | also requires a nasty _getframe thing but it's slightly less nasty | |
| 2653 | than the startup time groping behavior. This is essentially a | |
| 2654 | reversion back to 1.1a6 "grokking" behavior plus some special magic | |
| 2655 | for using the ``bfg_view`` decorator as method decorator inside the | |
| 2656 | ``bfg_view`` class itself. | |
| 2657 | ||
| 2658 | - The router now checks for a ``global_response_headers`` attribute of | |
| 2659 | the request object before returning a response. If this value | |
| 2660 | exists, it is presumed to be a sequence of two-tuples, representing | |
| 2661 | a set of headers to append to the 'normal' response headers. This | |
| 2662 | feature is internal, rather than exposed externally, because it's | |
| 2663 | unclear whether it will stay around in the long term. It was added | |
| 2664 | to support the ``reissue_time`` feature of the authtkt | |
| 2665 | authentication policy. | |
| 2666 | ||
| 2667 | - The interface ITraverserFactory is now just an alias for ITraverser. | |
| 2668 | ||
| 2669 | 1.1a7 (2009-10-18) | |
| 2670 | ================== | |
| 2671 | ||
| 2672 | Features | |
| 2673 | -------- | |
| 2674 | ||
| 2675 | - More than one ``@bfg_view`` decorator may now be stacked on top of | |
| 2676 | any number of others. Each invocation of the decorator registers a | |
| 2677 | single view configuration. For instance, the following combination | |
| 2678 | of decorators and a function will register two view configurations | |
| 2679 | for the same view callable:: | |
| 2680 | ||
| 2681 | from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view | |
| 2682 | ||
| 2683 | @bfg_view(name='edit') | |
| 2684 | @bfg_view(name='change') | |
| 2685 | def edit(context, request): | |
| 2686 | pass | |
| 2687 | ||
| 2688 | This makes it possible to associate more than one view configuration | |
| 2689 | with a single callable without requiring any ZCML. | |
| 2690 | ||
| 2691 | - The ``@bfg_view`` decorator can now be used against a class method:: | |
| 2692 | ||
| 2693 | from webob import Response | |
| 2694 | from repoze.bfg.view import bfg_view | |
| 2695 | ||
| 2696 | class MyView(object): | |
| 2697 | def __init__(self, context, request): | |
| 2698 | self.context = context | |
| 2699 | self.request = request | |
| 2700 | ||
| 2701 | @bfg_view(name='hello') | |
| 2702 | def amethod(self): | |
| 2703 | return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context) | |
| 2704 | ||
| 2705 | When the bfg_view decorator is used against a class method, a view | |
| 2706 | is registered for the *class* (it's a "class view" where the "attr" | |
| 2707 | happens to be the name of the method it is attached to), so the | |
| 2708 | class it's defined within must have a suitable constructor: one that | |
| 2709 | accepts ``context, request`` or just ``request``. | |
| 2710 | ||
| 2711 | Documentation | |
| 2712 | ------------- | |
| 2713 | ||
| 2714 | - Added ``Changing the Traverser`` and ``Changing How | |
| 2715 | :mod:`repoze.bfg.url.model_url` Generates a URL`` to the "Hooks" | |
| 2716 | narrative chapter of the docs. | |
| 2717 | ||
| 2718 | Internal | |
| 2719 | -------- | |
| 2720 | ||
| 2721 | - Remove ``ez_setup.py`` and imports of it within ``setup.py``. In | |
| 2722 | the new world, and as per virtualenv setup instructions, people will | |
| 2723 | already have either setuptools or distribute. | |
| 2724 | ||
| 2725 | 1.1a6 (2009-10-15) | |
| 2726 | ================== | |
| 2727 | ||
| 2728 | Features | |
| 2729 | -------- | |
| 2730 | ||
| 2731 | - Add ``xhr``, ``accept``, and ``header`` view configuration | |
| 2732 | predicates to ZCML view declaration, ZCML route declaration, and | |
| 2733 | ``bfg_view`` decorator. See the ``Views`` narrative documentation | |
| 2734 | chapter for more information about these predicates. | |
| 2735 | ||
| 2736 | - Add ``setUp`` and ``tearDown`` functions to the | |
| 2737 | ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module. Using ``setUp`` in a test setup and | |
| 2738 | ``tearDown`` in a test teardown is now the recommended way to do | |
| 2739 | component registry setup and teardown. Previously, it was | |
| 2740 | recommended that a single function named | |
| 2741 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` be called in both the test setup and | |
| 2742 | tear down. ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` still exists (and will | |
| 2743 | exist "forever" due to its widespread use); it is now just an alias | |
| 2744 | for ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and is nominally deprecated. | |
| 2745 | ||
| 2746 | - The BFG component registry is now available in view and event | |
| 2747 | subscriber code as an attribute of the request | |
| 2748 | ie. ``request.registry``. This fact is currently undocumented | |
| 2749 | except for this note, because BFG developers never need to interact | |
| 2750 | with the registry directly anywhere else. | |
| 2751 | ||
| 2752 | - The BFG component registry now inherits from ``dict``, meaning that | |
| 2753 | it can optionally be used as a simple dictionary. *Component* | |
| 2754 | registrations performed against it via e.g. ``registerUtility``, | |
| 2755 | ``registerAdapter``, and similar API methods are kept in a | |
| 2756 | completely separate namespace than its dict members, so using the | |
| 2757 | its component API methods won't effect the keys and values in the | |
| 2758 | dictionary namespace. Likewise, though the component registry | |
| 2759 | "happens to be" a dictionary, use of mutating dictionary methods | |
| 2760 | such as ``__setitem__`` will have no influence on any component | |
| 2761 | registrations made against it. In other words, the registry object | |
| 2762 | you obtain via e.g. ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.get_current_registry`` | |
| 2763 | or ``request.registry`` happens to be both a component registry and | |
| 2764 | a dictionary, but using its component-registry API won't impact data | |
| 2765 | added to it via its dictionary API and vice versa. This is a | |
| 2766 | forward compatibility move based on the goals of "marco". | |
| 2767 | ||
| 2768 | - Expose and document ``repoze.bfg.testing.zcml_configure`` API. This | |
| 2769 | function populates a component registry from a ZCML file for testing | |
| 2770 | purposes. It is documented in the "Unit and Integration Testing" | |
| 2771 | chapter. | |
| 2772 | ||
| 2773 | Documentation | |
| 2774 | ------------- | |
| 2775 | ||
| 2776 | - Virtual hosting narrative docs chapter updated with info about | |
| 2777 | ``mod_wsgi``. | |
| 2778 | ||
| 2779 | - Point all index URLs at the literal 1.1 index (this alpha cycle may | |
| 2780 | go on a while). | |
| 2781 | ||
| 2782 | - Various tutorial test modules updated to use | |
| 2783 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown`` | |
| 2784 | methods in order to encourage this as best practice going forward. | |
| 2785 | ||
| 2786 | - Added "Creating Integration Tests" section to unit testing narrative | |
| 2787 | documentation chapter. As a result, the name of the unittesting | |
| 2788 | chapter is now "Unit and Integration Testing". | |
| 2789 | ||
| 2790 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 2791 | --------------------------- | |
| 2792 | ||
| 2793 | - Importing ``getSiteManager`` and ``get_registry`` from | |
| 2794 | ``repoze.bfg.registry`` is no longer supported. These imports were | |
| 2795 | deprecated in repoze.bfg 1.0. Import of ``getSiteManager`` should | |
| 2796 | be done as ``from zope.component import getSiteManager``. Import of | |
| 2797 | ``get_registry`` should be done as ``from repoze.bfg.threadlocal | |
| 2798 | import get_current_registry``. This was done to prevent a circular | |
| 2799 | import dependency. | |
| 2800 | ||
| 2801 | - Code bases which alternately invoke both | |
| 2802 | ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` and ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` | |
| 2803 | (treating them equivalently, using them interchangeably) in the | |
| 2804 | setUp/tearDown of unit tests will begin to experience test failures | |
| 2805 | due to lack of test isolation. The "right" mechanism is | |
| 2806 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` (or the combination of | |
| 2807 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` and | |
| 2808 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.tearDown``). but a good number of legacy | |
| 2809 | codebases will use ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` instead. We | |
| 2810 | support ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` but not in combination with | |
| 2811 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` in the same codebase. You should use | |
| 2812 | one or the other test cleanup function in a single codebase, but not | |
| 2813 | both. | |
| 2814 | ||
| 2815 | Internal | |
| 2816 | -------- | |
| 2817 | ||
| 2818 | - Created new ``repoze.bfg.configuration`` module which assumes | |
| 2819 | responsibilities previously held by the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` and | |
| 2820 | ``repoze.bfg.router`` modules (avoid a circular import dependency). | |
| 2821 | ||
| 2822 | - The result of the ``zope.component.getSiteManager`` function in unit | |
| 2823 | tests set up with ``repoze.bfg.testing.cleanUp`` or | |
| 2824 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.setUp`` will be an instance of | |
| 2825 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry`` instead of the global | |
| 2826 | ``zope.component.globalregistry.base`` registry. This also means | |
| 2827 | that the threadlocal ZCA API functions such as ``getAdapter`` and | |
| 2828 | ``getUtility`` as well as internal BFG machinery (such as | |
| 2829 | ``model_url`` and ``route_url``) will consult this registry within | |
| 2830 | unit tests. This is a forward compatibility move based on the goals | |
| 2831 | of "marco". | |
| 2832 | ||
| 2833 | - Removed ``repoze.bfg.testing.addCleanUp`` function and associated | |
| 2834 | module-scope globals. This was never an API. | |
| 2835 | ||
| 2836 | 1.1a5 (2009-10-10) | |
| 2837 | ================== | |
| 2838 | ||
| 2839 | Documentation | |
| 2840 | ------------- | |
| 2841 | ||
| 2842 | - Change "Traversal + ZODB" and "URL Dispatch + SQLAlchemy" Wiki | |
| 2843 | tutorials to make use of the new-to-1.1 "renderer" feature (return | |
| 2844 | dictionaries from all views). | |
| 2845 | ||
| 2846 | - Add tests to the "URL Dispatch + SQLAlchemy" tutorial after the | |
| 2847 | "view" step. | |
| 2848 | ||
| 2849 | - Added a diagram of model graph traversal to the "Traversal" | |
| 2850 | narrative chapter of the documentation. | |
| 2851 | ||
| 2852 | - An ``exceptions`` API chapter was added, documenting the new | |
| 2853 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module. | |
| 2854 | ||
| 2855 | - Describe "request-only" view calling conventions inside the | |
| 2856 | urldispatch narrative chapter, where it's most helpful. | |
| 2857 | ||
| 2858 | - Add a diagram which explains the operation of the BFG router to the | |
| 2859 | "Router" narrative chapter. | |
| 2860 | ||
| 2861 | Features | |
| 2862 | -------- | |
| 2863 | ||
| 2864 | - Add a new ``repoze.bfg.testing`` API: ``registerRoute``, for | |
| 2865 | registering routes to satisfy calls to | |
| 2866 | e.g. ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` in unit tests. | |
| 2867 | ||
| 2868 | - The ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives now accept the | |
| 2869 | following addtional attributes: ``attr``, ``renderer``, and | |
| 2870 | ``wrapper``. These have the same meaning as they do in the context | |
| 2871 | of a ZCML ``view`` directive. | |
| 2872 | ||
| 2873 | - For behavior like Django's ``APPEND_SLASH=True``, use the | |
| 2874 | ``repoze.bfg.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` view as the Not Found | |
| 2875 | view in your application. When this view is the Not Found view | |
| 2876 | (indicating that no view was found), and any routes have been | |
| 2877 | defined in the configuration of your application, if the value of | |
| 2878 | ``PATH_INFO`` does not already end in a slash, and if the value of | |
| 2879 | ``PATH_INFO`` *plus* a slash matches any route's path, do an HTTP | |
| 2880 | redirect to the slash-appended PATH_INFO. Note that this will | |
| 2881 | *lose* ``POST`` data information (turning it into a GET), so you | |
| 2882 | shouldn't rely on this to redirect POST requests. | |
| 2883 | ||
| 2884 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.location.lineage`` slightly. | |
| 2885 | ||
| 2886 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.encode.urlencode`` (nee' | |
| 2887 | ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) slightly. | |
| 2888 | ||
| 2889 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``. | |
| 2890 | ||
| 2891 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` slightly. | |
| 2892 | ||
| 2893 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traverse`` slightly. | |
| 2894 | ||
| 2895 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` slightly. | |
| 2896 | ||
| 2897 | - Speed up ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` slightly. | |
| 2898 | ||
| 2899 | - Sped up ``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser:__call__`` | |
| 2900 | slightly. | |
| 2901 | ||
| 2902 | - Minor speedup of ``repoze.bfg.router.Router.__call__``. | |
| 2903 | ||
| 2904 | - New ``repoze.bfg.exceptions`` module was created to house exceptions | |
| 2905 | that were previously sprinkled through various modules. | |
| 2906 | ||
| 2907 | Internal | |
| 2908 | -------- | |
| 2909 | ||
| 2910 | - Move ``repoze.bfg.traversal._url_quote`` into ``repoze.bfg.encode`` | |
| 2911 | as ``url_quote``. | |
| 2912 | ||
| 2913 | Deprecations | |
| 2914 | ------------ | |
| 2915 | ||
| 2916 | - The import of ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` is deprecated in favor of | |
| 2917 | ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.NotFound``. The old location still | |
| 2918 | functions, but emits a deprecation warning. | |
| 2919 | ||
| 2920 | - The import of ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` is deprecated in | |
| 2921 | favor of ``repoze.bfg.exceptions.Forbidden``. The old location | |
| 2922 | still functions but emits a deprecation warning. The rename from | |
| 08c221 | 2923 | ``Unauthorized`` to ``Forbidden`` brings parity to the name of |
| b7c935 | 2924 | the exception and the system view it invokes when raised. |
| CM | 2925 | |
| 2926 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 2927 | --------------------------- | |
| 2928 | ||
| 2929 | - We previously had a Unicode-aware wrapper for the | |
| 2930 | ``urllib.urlencode`` function named ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode`` | |
| 2931 | which delegated to the stdlib function, but which marshalled all | |
| 2932 | unicode values to utf-8 strings before calling the stdlib version. | |
| 2933 | A newer replacement now lives in ``repoze.bfg.encode`` The | |
| 2934 | replacement does not delegate to the stdlib. | |
| 2935 | ||
| 2936 | The replacement diverges from the stdlib implementation and the | |
| 2937 | previous ``repoze.bfg.url`` url implementation inasmuch as its | |
| 2938 | ``doseq`` argument is now a decoy: it always behaves in the | |
| 2939 | ``doseq=True`` way (which is the only sane behavior) for speed | |
| 2940 | purposes. | |
| 2941 | ||
| 2942 | The old import location (``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``) still | |
| 2943 | functions and has not been deprecated. | |
| 2944 | ||
| 2945 | - In 0.8a7, the return value expected from an object implementing | |
| 2946 | ``ITraverserFactory`` was changed from a sequence of values to a | |
| 2947 | dictionary containing the keys ``context``, ``view_name``, | |
| 2948 | ``subpath``, ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, ``virtual_root_path``, | |
| 2949 | and ``root``. Until now, old-style traversers which returned a | |
| 2950 | sequence have continued to work but have generated a deprecation | |
| 2951 | warning. In this release, traversers which return a sequence | |
| 2952 | instead of a dictionary will no longer work. | |
| 2953 | ||
| 2954 | 1.1a4 (2009-09-23) | |
| 2955 | ================== | |
| 2956 | ||
| 2957 | Bug Fixes | |
| 2958 | --------- | |
| 2959 | ||
| 2960 | - On 64-bit Linux systems, views that were members of a multiview | |
| 2961 | (orderings of views with predicates) were not evaluated in the | |
| 2962 | proper order. Symptom: in a configuration that had two views with | |
| 2963 | the same name but one with a ``request_method=POST`` predicate and | |
| 2964 | one without, the one without the predicate would be called | |
| 2965 | unconditionally (even if the request was a POST request). Thanks | |
| 2966 | much to Sebastien Douche for providing the buildbots that pointed | |
| 2967 | this out. | |
| 2968 | ||
| 2969 | Documentation | |
| 2970 | ------------- | |
| 2971 | ||
| 2972 | - Added a tutorial which explains how to use ``repoze.session`` | |
| 2973 | (ZODB-based sessions) in a ZODB-based repoze.bfg app. | |
| 2974 | ||
| 2975 | - Added a tutorial which explains how to add ZEO to a ZODB-based | |
| 2976 | ``repoze.bfg`` application. | |
| 2977 | ||
| 2978 | - Added a tutorial which explains how to run a ``repoze.bfg`` | |
| 2979 | application under `mod_wsgi <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/>`_. | |
| 2980 | See "Running a repoze.bfg Application under mod_wsgi" in the | |
| 2981 | tutorials section of the documentation. | |
| 2982 | ||
| 2983 | Features | |
| 2984 | -------- | |
| 2985 | ||
| 2986 | - Add a ``repoze.bfg.url.static_url`` API which is capable of | |
| 2987 | generating URLs to static resources defined by the ``<static>`` ZCML | |
| 2988 | directive. See the "Views" narrative chapter's section titled | |
| 2989 | "Generating Static Resource URLs" for more information. | |
| 2990 | ||
| 2991 | - Add a ``string`` renderer. This renderer converts a non-Response | |
| 2992 | return value of any view callble into a string. It is documented in | |
| 2993 | the "Views" narrative chapter. | |
| 2994 | ||
| 2995 | - Give the ``route`` ZCML directive the ``view_attr`` and | |
| 2996 | ``view_renderer`` parameters (bring up to speed with 1.1a3 | |
| 2997 | features). These can also be spelled as ``attr`` and ``renderer``. | |
| 2998 | ||
| 2999 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3000 | --------------------------- | |
| 3001 | ||
| 3002 | - An object implementing the ``IRenderer`` interface (and | |
| 3003 | ``ITemplateRenderer`, which is a subclass of ``IRenderer``) must now | |
| 3004 | accept an extra ``system`` argument in its ``__call__`` method | |
| 3005 | implementation. Values computed by the system (as opposed to by the | |
| 3006 | view) are passed by the system in the ``system`` parameter, which | |
| 3007 | will always be a dictionary. Keys in the dictionary include: | |
| 3008 | ``view`` (the view object that returned the value), | |
| 3009 | ``renderer_name`` (the template name or simple name of the | |
| 3010 | renderer), ``context`` (the context object passed to the view), and | |
| 3011 | ``request`` (the request object passed to the view). Previously | |
| 3012 | only ITemplateRenderers received system arguments as elements inside | |
| 3013 | the main ``value`` dictionary. | |
| 3014 | ||
| 3015 | Internal | |
| 3016 | -------- | |
| 3017 | ||
| 3018 | - The way ``bfg_view`` declarations are scanned for has been modified. | |
| 3019 | This should have no external effects. | |
| 3020 | ||
| 3021 | - Speed: do not register an ITraverserFactory in configure.zcml; | |
| 3022 | instead rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to | |
| 3023 | ModelGraphTraverser. | |
| 3024 | ||
| 3025 | - Speed: do not register an IContextURL in configure.zcml; instead | |
| 3026 | rely on queryAdapter and a manual default to TraversalContextURL. | |
| 3027 | ||
| 3028 | - General speed microimprovements for helloworld benchmark: replace | |
| 3029 | try/excepts with statements which use 'in' keyword. | |

| 3031 | 1.1a3 (2009-09-16) | |
| 3032 | ================== | |
| 3033 | ||
| 3034 | Documentation | |
| 3035 | ------------- | |
| 3036 | ||
| 3037 | - The "Views" narrative chapter in the documentation has been updated | |
| 3038 | extensively to discuss "renderers". | |
| 3039 | ||
| 3040 | Features | |
| 3041 | -------- | |
| 3042 | ||
| 3043 | - A ``renderer`` attribute has been added to view configurations, | |
| 3044 | replacing the previous (1.1a2) version's ``template`` attribute. A | |
| 3045 | "renderer" is an object which accepts the return value of a view and | |
| 3046 | converts it to a string. This includes, but is not limited to, | |
| 3047 | templating systems. | |
| 3048 | ||
| 3049 | - A new interface named ``IRenderer`` was added. The existing | |
| 3050 | interface, ``ITemplateRenderer`` now derives from this new | |
| 3051 | interface. This interface is internal. | |
| 3052 | ||
| 3053 | - A new interface named ``IRendererFactory`` was added. An existing | |
| 3054 | interface named ``ITemplateRendererFactory`` now derives from this | |
| 3055 | interface. This interface is internal. | |
| 3056 | ||
| 3057 | - The ``view`` attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive is no longer | |
| 3058 | required if the ZCML directive also has a ``renderer`` attribute. | |
| 3059 | This is useful when the renderer is a template renderer and no names | |
| 3060 | need be passed to the template at render time. | |
| 3061 | ||
| 3062 | - A new zcml directive ``renderer`` has been added. It is documented | |
| 3063 | in the "Views" narrative chapter of the documentation. | |
| 3064 | ||
| 3065 | - A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view`` | |
| 3066 | decorator) can now accept a "wrapper" value. If a "wrapper" value | |
| 3067 | is supplied, it is the value of a separate view's *name* attribute. | |
| 3068 | When a view with a ``wrapper`` attribute is rendered, the "inner" | |
| 3069 | view is first rendered normally. Its body is then attached to the | |
| 3070 | request as "wrapped_body", and then a wrapper view name is looked up | |
| 3071 | and rendered (using ``repoze.bfg.render_view_to_response``), passed | |
| 3072 | the request and the context. The wrapper view is assumed to do | |
| 3073 | something sensible with ``request.wrapped_body``, usually inserting | |
| 3074 | its structure into some other rendered template. This feature makes | |
| 3075 | it possible to specify (potentially nested) "owrap" relationships | |
| 3076 | between views using only ZCML or decorators (as opposed always using | |
| 3077 | ZPT METAL and analogues to wrap view renderings in outer wrappers). | |
| 3078 | ||
| 3079 | Dependencies | |
| 3080 | ------------ | |
| 3081 | ||
| 3082 | - When used under Python < 2.6, BFG now has an installation time | |
| 3083 | dependency on the ``simplejson`` package. | |
| 3084 | ||
| 3085 | Deprecations | |
| 3086 | ------------ | |
| 3087 | ||
| 3088 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API has been | |
| 3089 | deprecated in favor of | |
| 3090 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerTemplateRenderer``. A deprecation | |
| 3091 | warning is *not* issued at import time for the former name; it will | |
| 3092 | exist "forever"; its existence has been removed from the | |
| 3093 | documentation, however. | |
| 3094 | ||
| 3095 | - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function has been | |
| 3096 | moved to ``repoze.bfg.renderer.template_renderer_factory``. This | |
| 3097 | was never an API, but code in the wild was spotted that used it. A | |
| 3098 | deprecation warning is issued at import time for the former. | |
| 3099 | ||
| 3100 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3101 | --------------------------- | |
| 3102 | ||
| 3103 | - The ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface has been changed. Previously | |
| 3104 | its ``__call__`` method accepted ``**kw``. It now accepts a single | |
| 3105 | positional parameter named ``kw`` (REVISED: it accepts two | |
| 3106 | positional parameters as of 1.1a4: ``value`` and ``system``). This | |
| 3107 | is mostly an internal change, but it was exposed in APIs in one | |
| 3108 | place: if you've used the | |
| 3109 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer`` API in your tests with | |
| 3110 | a custom "renderer" argument with your own renderer implementation, | |
| 3111 | you will need to change that renderer implementation to accept | |
| 3112 | ``kw`` instead of ``**kw`` in its ``__call__`` method (REVISED: make | |
| 3113 | it accept ``value`` and ``system`` positional arguments as of 1.1a4). | |
| 3114 | ||
| 3115 | - The ``ITemplateRendererFactory`` interface has been changed. | |
| 3116 | Previously its ``__call__`` method accepted an ``auto_reload`` | |
| 3117 | keyword parameter. Now its ``__call__`` method accepts no keyword | |
| 3118 | parameters. Renderers are now themselves responsible for | |
| 3119 | determining details of auto-reload. This is purely an internal | |
| 3120 | change. This interface was never external. | |
| 3121 | ||
| 3122 | - The ``template_renderer`` ZCML directive introduced in 1.1a2 has | |
| 3123 | been removed. It has been replaced by the ``renderer`` directive. | |
| 3124 | ||
| 3125 | - The previous release (1.1a2) added a view configuration attribute | |
| 3126 | named ``template``. In this release, the attribute has been renamed | |
| 3127 | to ``renderer``. This signifies that the attribute is more generic: | |
| 3128 | it can now be not just a template name but any renderer name (ala | |
| 3129 | ``json``). | |
| 3130 | ||
| 3131 | - In the previous release (1.1a2), the Chameleon text template | |
| 3132 | renderer was used if the system didn't associate the ``template`` | |
| 3133 | view configuration value with a filename with a "known" extension. | |
| 3134 | In this release, you must use a ``renderer`` attribute which is a | |
| 3135 | path that ends with a ``.txt`` extension | |
| 3136 | (e.g. ``templates/foo.txt``) to use the Chameleon text renderer. | |
| 3137 | ||
| 3138 | 1.1a2 (2009-09-14) | |
| 3139 | ================== | |
| 3140 | ||
| 3141 | Features | |
| 3142 | -------- | |
| 3143 | ||
| 3144 | - A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view`` | |
| 3145 | decorator) can now accept an "attr" value. If an "attr" value is | |
| 3146 | supplied, it is considered a method named of the view object to be | |
| 3147 | called when the response is required. This is typically only good | |
| 3148 | for views that are classes or instances (not so useful for | |
| 3149 | functions, as functions typically have no methods other than | |
| 3150 | ``__call__``). | |
| 3151 | ||
| 3152 | - A ZCML ``view`` directive (and the associated ``bfg_view`` | |
| 3153 | decorator) can now accept a "template" value. If a "template" value | |
| 3154 | is supplied, and the view callable returns a dictionary, the | |
| 3155 | associated template is rendered with the dictionary as keyword | |
| 3156 | arguments. See the section named "Views That Have a ``template``" | |
| 3157 | in the "Views" narrative documentation chapter for more information. | |
| 3158 | ||
| 3159 | 1.1a1 (2009-09-06) | |
| 3160 | ================== | |
| 3161 | ||
| 3162 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3163 | --------- | |
| 3164 | ||
| 3165 | - "tests" module removed from the bfg_alchemy paster template; these | |
| 3166 | tests didn't work. | |
| 3167 | ||
| 3168 | - Bugfix: the ``discriminator`` for the ZCML "route" directive was | |
| 3169 | incorrect. It was possible to register two routes that collided | |
| 3170 | without the system spitting out a ConfigurationConflictError at | |
| 3171 | startup time. | |
| 3172 | ||
| 3173 | Features | |
| 3174 | -------- | |
| 3175 | ||
| 3176 | - Feature addition: view predicates. These are exposed as the | |
| 3177 | ``request_method``, ``request_param``, and ``containment`` | |
| 3178 | attributes of a ZCML ``view`` declaration, or the respective | |
| 3179 | arguments to a ``@bfg_view`` decorator. View predicates can be used | |
| 3180 | to register a view for a more precise set of environment parameters | |
| 3181 | than was previously possible. For example, you can register two | |
| 3182 | views with the same ``name`` with different ``request_param`` | |
| 3183 | attributes. If the ``request.params`` dict contains 'foo' | |
| 3184 | (request_param="foo"), one view might be called; if it contains | |
| 3185 | 'bar' (request_param="bar"), another view might be called. | |
| 3186 | ``request_param`` can also name a key/value pair ala ``foo=123``. | |
| 3187 | This will match only when the ``foo`` key is in the request.params | |
| 3188 | dict and it has the value '123'. This particular example makes it | |
| 3189 | possible to write separate view functions for different form | |
| 3190 | submissions. The other predicates, ``containment`` and | |
| 3191 | ``request_method`` work similarly. ``containment`` is a view | |
| 3192 | predicate that will match only when the context's graph lineage has | |
| 3193 | an object possessing a particular class or interface, for example. | |
| 3194 | ``request_method`` is a view predicate that will match when the HTTP | |
| 3195 | ``REQUEST_METHOD`` equals some string (eg. 'POST'). | |
| 3196 | ||
| 3197 | - The ``@bfg_view`` decorator now accepts three additional arguments: | |
| 3198 | ``request_method``, ``request_param``, and ``containment``. | |
| 3199 | ``request_method`` is used when you'd like the view to match only a | |
| 3200 | request with a particular HTTP ``REQUEST_METHOD``; a string naming | |
| 3201 | the ``REQUEST_METHOD`` can also be supplied as ``request_type`` for | |
| 3202 | backwards compatibility. ``request_param`` is used when you'd like | |
| 3203 | a view to match only a request that contains a particular | |
| 3204 | ``request.params`` key (with or without a value). ``containment`` | |
| 3205 | is used when you'd like to match a request that has a context that | |
| 3206 | has some class or interface in its graph lineage. These are | |
| 3207 | collectively known as "view predicates". | |
| 3208 | ||
| 3209 | - The ``route`` ZCML directive now honors ``view_request_method``, | |
| 3210 | ``view_request_param`` and ``view_containment`` attributes, which | |
| 3211 | pass along these values to the associated view if any is provided. | |
| 3212 | Additionally, the ``request_type`` attribute can now be spelled as | |
| 3213 | ``view_request_type``, and ``permission`` can be spelled as | |
| 3214 | ``view_permission``. Any attribute which starts with ``view_`` can | |
| 3215 | now be spelled without the ``view_`` prefix, so ``view_for`` can be | |
| 3216 | spelled as ``for`` now, etc. Both forms are documented in the | |
| 3217 | urldispatch narraitve documentation chapter. | |
| 3218 | ||
| 3219 | - The ``request_param`` ZCML view directive attribute (and its | |
| 3220 | ``bfg_view`` decorator cousin) can now specify both a key and a | |
| 3221 | value. For example, ``request_param="foo=123"`` means that the foo | |
| 3222 | key must have a value of ``123`` for the view to "match". | |
| 3223 | ||
| 3224 | - Allow ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_interface`` API to use a class | |
| 3225 | object as the argument to compare against the ``model`` passed in. | |
| 3226 | This means you can now do ``find_interface(model, SomeClass)`` and | |
| 3227 | the first object which is found in the lineage which has | |
| 3228 | ``SomeClass`` as its class (or the first object found which has | |
| 3229 | ``SomeClass`` as any of its superclasses) will be returned. | |
| 3230 | ||
| 3231 | - Added ``static`` ZCML directive which registers a route for a view | |
| 3232 | that serves up files in a directory. See the "Views" narrative | |
| 3233 | documentation chapter's "Serving Static Resources Using a ZCML | |
| 3234 | Directive" section for more information. | |
| 3235 | ||
| 3236 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` class now accepts a string as its | |
| 3237 | first argument ("root_dir") that represents a package-relative name | |
| 3238 | e.g. ``somepackage:foo/bar/static``. This is now the preferred | |
| 3239 | mechanism for spelling package-relative static paths using this | |
| 3240 | class. A ``package_name`` keyword argument has been left around for | |
| 3241 | backwards compatibility. If it is supplied, it will be honored. | |
| 3242 | ||
| 3243 | - The API ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerView`` now takes a | |
| 3244 | ``permission`` argument. Use this instead of using | |
| 3245 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerViewPermission``. | |
| 3246 | ||
| 3247 | - The ordering of route declarations vs. the ordering of view | |
| 3248 | declarations that use a "route_name" in ZCML no longer matters. | |
| 3249 | Previously it had been impossible to use a route_name from a route | |
| 3250 | that had not yet been defined in ZCML (order-wise) within a "view" | |
| 3251 | declaration. | |
| 3252 | ||
| 3253 | - The repoze.bfg router now catches both | |
| 3254 | ``repoze.bfg.security.Unauthorized`` and | |
| 3255 | ``repoze.bfg.view.NotFound`` exceptions while rendering a view. | |
| 3256 | When the router catches an ``Unauthorized``, it returns the | |
| 3257 | registered forbidden view. When the router catches a ``NotFound``, | |
| 3258 | it returns the registered notfound view. | |
| 3259 | ||
| 3260 | Internal | |
| 3261 | -------- | |
| 3262 | ||
| 3263 | - Change urldispatch internals: Route object is now constructed using | |
| 3264 | a path, a name, and a factory instead of a name, a matcher, a | |
| 3265 | generator, and a factory. | |
| 3266 | ||
| 3267 | - Move (non-API) default_view, default_forbidden_view, and | |
| 3268 | default_notfound_view functions into the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module | |
| 3269 | (moved from ``repoze.bfg.router``). | |
| 3270 | ||
| 3271 | - Removed ViewPermissionFactory from ``repoze.bfg.security``. View | |
| 3272 | permission checking is now done by registering and looking up an | |
| 3273 | ISecuredView. | |
| 3274 | ||
| 3275 | - The ``static`` ZCML directive now uses a custom root factory when | |
| 3276 | constructing a route. | |
| 3277 | ||
| 3278 | - The interface ``IRequestFactories`` was removed from the | |
| 3279 | repoze.bfg.interfaces module. This interface was never an API. | |
| 3280 | ||
| 3281 | - The function named ``named_request_factories`` and the data | |
| 3282 | structure named ``DEFAULT_REQUEST_FACTORIES`` have been removed from | |
| 3283 | the ``repoze.bfg.request`` module. These were never APIs. | |
| 3284 | ||
| 3285 | - The ``IViewPermissionFactory`` interface has been removed. This was | |
| 3286 | never an API. | |
| 3287 | ||
| 3288 | Documentation | |
| 3289 | ------------- | |
| 3290 | ||
| 3291 | - Request-only-convention examples in the "Views" narrative | |
| 3292 | documentation were broken. | |
| 3293 | ||
| 3294 | - Fixed documentation bugs related to forget and remember in security API | |
| 3295 | docs. | |
| 3296 | ||
| 3297 | - Fixed documentation for ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` (in narrative | |
| 3298 | ``Views`` chapter). | |
| 3299 | ||
| 3300 | Deprecations | |
| 3301 | ------------ | |
| 3302 | ||
| 3303 | - The API ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerViewPermission`` has been | |
| 3304 | deprecated. | |
| 3305 | ||
| 3306 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3307 | --------------------------- | |
| 3308 | ||
| 3309 | - The interfaces ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IGETRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``, | |
| 3310 | ``IDELETERequest``, and ``IHEADRequest`` have been removed from the | |
| 3311 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` module. These were not documented as APIs | |
| 3312 | post-1.0. Instead of using one of these, use a ``request_method`` | |
| 3313 | ZCML attribute or ``request_method`` bfg_view decorator parameter | |
| 3314 | containing an HTTP method name (one of ``GET``, ``POST``, ``HEAD``, | |
| 3315 | ``PUT``, ``DELETE``) instead of one of these interfaces if you were | |
| 3316 | using one explicitly. Passing a string in the set (``GET``, | |
| 3317 | ``HEAD``, ``PUT``, ``POST``, ``DELETE``) as a ``request_type`` | |
| 3318 | argument will work too. Rationale: instead of relying on interfaces | |
| 3319 | attached to the request object, BFG now uses a "view predicate" to | |
| 3320 | determine the request type. | |
| 3321 | ||
| 3322 | - Views registered without the help of the ZCML ``view`` directive are | |
| 3323 | now responsible for performing their own authorization checking. | |
| 3324 | ||
| 3325 | - The ``registry_manager`` backwards compatibility alias importable | |
| 3326 | from "repoze.bfg.registry", deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9 has been | |
| 3327 | removed. If you are tring to use the registry manager within a | |
| 3328 | debug script of your own, use a combination of the | |
| 3329 | "repoze.bfg.paster.get_app" and "repoze.bfg.scripting.get_root" APIs | |
| 3330 | instead. | |
| 3331 | ||
| 3332 | - The ``INotFoundAppFactory`` interface has been removed; it has | |
| 3333 | been deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9. If you have something like | |
| 3334 | the following in your ``configure.zcml``:: | |
| 3335 | ||
| 3336 | <utility provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory" | |
| 3337 | component="helloworld.factories.notfound_app_factory"/> | |
| 3338 | ||
| 3339 | Replace it with something like:: | |
| 3340 | ||
| 3341 | <notfound | |
| 3342 | view="helloworld.views.notfound_view"/> | |
| 3343 | ||
| 3344 | See "Changing the Not Found View" in the "Hooks" chapter of the | |
| 3345 | documentation for more information. | |
| 3346 | ||
| 3347 | - The ``IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has been removed; it has | |
| 3348 | been deprecated since repoze.bfg 0.9. If you have something like | |
| 3349 | the following in your ``configure.zcml``:: | |
| 3350 | ||
| 3351 | <utility provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory" | |
| 3352 | component="helloworld.factories.unauthorized_app_factory"/> | |
| 3353 | ||
| 3354 | Replace it with something like:: | |
| 3355 | ||
| 3356 | <forbidden | |
| 3357 | view="helloworld.views.forbidden_view"/> | |
| 3358 | ||
| 3359 | See "Changing the Forbidden View" in the "Hooks" chapter of the | |
| 3360 | documentation for more information. | |
| 3361 | ||
| 3362 | - ``ISecurityPolicy``-based security policies, deprecated since | |
| 3363 | repoze.bfg 0.9, have been removed. If you have something like this | |
| 3364 | in your ``configure.zcml``, it will no longer work:: | |
| 3365 | ||
| 3366 | <utility | |
| 3367 | provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy" | |
| 3368 | factory="repoze.bfg.security.RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy" | |
| 3369 | /> | |
| 3370 | ||
| 3371 | If ZCML like the above exists in your application, you will receive | |
| 3372 | an error at startup time. Instead of the above, you'll need | |
| 3373 | something like:: | |
| 3374 | ||
| 3375 | <remoteuserauthenticationpolicy/> | |
| 3376 | <aclauthorizationpolicy/> | |
| 3377 | ||
| 3378 | This is just an example. See the "Security" chapter of the | |
| 3379 | repoze.bfg documentation for more information about configuring | |
| 3380 | security policies. | |
| 3381 | ||
| 3382 | - Custom ZCML directives which register an authentication or | |
| 3383 | authorization policy (ala "authtktauthenticationpolicy" or | |
| 3384 | "aclauthorizationpolicy") should register the policy "eagerly" in | |
| 3385 | the ZCML directive instead of from within a ZCML action. If an | |
| 3386 | authentication or authorization policy is not found in the component | |
| 3387 | registry by the view machinery during deferred ZCML processing, view | |
| 3388 | security will not work as expected. | |
| 3389 | ||
| 3390 | 1.0.1 (2009-07-22) | |
| 3391 | ================== | |
| 3392 | ||
| 3393 | - Added support for ``has_resource``, ``resource_isdir``, and | |
| 3394 | ``resource_listdir`` to the resource "OverrideProvider"; this fixes | |
| 3395 | a bug with a symptom that a file could not be overridden in a | |
| 3396 | resource directory unless a file with the same name existed in the | |
| 3397 | original directory being overridden. | |
| 3398 | ||
| 3399 | - Fixed documentation bug showing invalid test for values from the | |
| 3400 | ``matchdict``: they are stored as attributes of the ``Article``, rather | |
| 3401 | than subitems. | |
| 3402 | ||
| 3403 | - Fixed documentation bug showing wrong environment key for the ``matchdict`` | |
| 3404 | produced by the matching route. | |
| 3405 | ||
| 3406 | - Added a workaround for a bug in Python 2.6, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2 having | |
| 3407 | to do with a recursion error in the mimetypes module when trying to | |
| 3408 | serve static files from Paste's FileApp: | |
| 3409 | http://bugs.python.org/issue5853. Symptom: File | |
| 3410 | "/usr/lib/python2.6/mimetypes.py", line 244, in guess_type return | |
| 3411 | guess_type(url, strict) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth | |
| 3412 | exceeded. Thanks to Armin Ronacher for identifying the symptom and | |
| 3413 | pointing out a fix. | |
| 3414 | ||
| 3415 | - Minor edits to tutorials for accuracy based on feedback. | |
| 3416 | ||
| 3417 | - Declared Paste and PasteDeploy dependencies. | |
| 3418 | ||
| 3419 | 1.0 (2009-07-05) | |
| 3420 | ================ | |
| 3421 | ||
| 3422 | - Retested and added some content to GAE tutorial. | |
| 3423 | ||
| 3424 | - Edited "Extending" narrative docs chapter. | |
| 3425 | ||
| 3426 | - Added "Deleting the Database" section to the "Defining Models" | |
| 3427 | chapter of the traversal wiki tutorial. | |
| 3428 | ||
| 3429 | - Spell checking of narratives and tutorials. | |
| 3430 | ||
| 3431 | 1.0b2 (2009-07-03) | |
| 3432 | ================== | |
| 3433 | ||
| 3434 | - ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML directive didn't work | |
| 3435 | without an ``environ_key`` directive (didn't match docs). | |
| 3436 | ||
| 3437 | - Fix ``configure_zcml`` filespec check on Windows. Previously if an | |
| 3438 | absolute filesystem path including a drive letter was passed as | |
| 3439 | ``filename`` (or as ``configure_zcml`` in the options dict) to | |
| 3440 | ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``, it would be treated as a | |
| 3441 | package:resource_name specification. | |
| 3442 | ||
| 3443 | - Fix inaccuracies and import errors in bfgwiki (traversal+ZODB) and | |
| 3444 | bfgwiki2 (urldispatch+SA) tutorials. | |
| 3445 | ||
| 3446 | - Use bfgsite index for all tutorial setup.cfg files. | |
| 3447 | ||
| 3448 | - Full documentation grammar/style/spelling audit. | |
| 3449 | ||
| 3450 | 1.0b1 (2009-07-02) | |
| 3451 | ================== | |
| 3452 | ||
| 3453 | Features | |
| 3454 | -------- | |
| 3455 | ||
| 3456 | - Allow a Paste config file (``configure_zcml``) value or an | |
| 3457 | environment variable (``BFG_CONFIGURE_ZCML``) to name a ZCML file | |
| 3458 | (optionally package-relative) that will be used to bootstrap the | |
| 3459 | application. Previously, the integrator could not influence which | |
| 3460 | ZCML file was used to do the boostrapping (only the original | |
| 3461 | application developer could do so). | |
| 3462 | ||
| 3463 | Documentation | |
| 3464 | ------------- | |
| 3465 | ||
| 3466 | - Added a "Resources" chapter to the narrative documentation which | |
| 3467 | explains how to override resources within one package from another | |
| 3468 | package. | |
| 3469 | ||
| 3470 | - Added an "Extending" chapter to the narrative documentation which | |
| 3471 | explains how to extend or modify an existing BFG application using | |
| 3472 | another Python package and ZCML. | |
| 3473 | ||
| 3474 | 1.0a9 (2009-07-01) | |
| 3475 | ================== | |
| 3476 | ||
| 3477 | Features | |
| 3478 | -------- | |
| 3479 | ||
| 3480 | - Make it possible to pass strings in the form | |
| 3481 | "package_name:relative/path" to APIs like ``render_template``, | |
| 3482 | ``render_template_to_response``, and ``get_template``. Sometimes | |
| 3483 | the package in which a caller lives is a direct namespace package, | |
| 3484 | so the module which is returned is semi-useless for navigating from. | |
| 3485 | In this way, the caller can control the horizontal and vertical of | |
| 3486 | where things get looked up from. | |
| 3487 | ||
| 3488 | 1.0a8 (2009-07-01) | |
| 3489 | ================== | |
| 3490 | ||
| 3491 | Deprecations | |
| 3492 | ------------ | |
| 3493 | ||
| 3494 | - Deprecate the ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy`` | |
| 3495 | arguments to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. Instead, developers | |
| 3496 | should use the various authentication policy ZCML directives | |
| 3497 | (``repozewho1authenticationpolicy``, | |
| 3498 | ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` and | |
| 3499 | ``authtktauthenticationpolicy``) and the `aclauthorizationpolicy`` | |
| 3500 | authorization policy directive as described in the changes to the | |
| 3501 | "Security" narrative documenation chapter and the wiki tutorials. | |
| 3502 | ||
| 3503 | Features | |
| 3504 | -------- | |
| 3505 | ||
| 3506 | - Add three new ZCML directives which configure authentication | |
| 3507 | policies: | |
| 3508 | ||
| 3509 | - ``repozewho1authenticationpolicy`` | |
| 3510 | ||
| 3511 | - ``remoteuserauthenticationpolicy`` | |
| 3512 | ||
| 3513 | - ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` | |
| 3514 | ||
| 3515 | - Add a new ZCML directive which configures an ACL authorization | |
| 3516 | policy named ``aclauthorizationpolicy``. | |
| 3517 | ||
| 3518 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3519 | --------- | |
| 3520 | ||
| 3521 | - Bug fix: when a ``repoze.bfg.resource.PackageOverrides`` class was | |
| 3522 | instantiated, and the package it was overriding already had a | |
| 3523 | ``__loader__`` attribute, it would fail at startup time, even if the | |
| 3524 | ``__loader__`` attribute was another PackageOverrides instance. We | |
| 3525 | now replace any ``__loader__`` that is also a PackageOverrides | |
| 3526 | instance. Symptom: ``ConfigurationExecutionError: <type | |
| 3527 | 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Package <module 'karl.views' from | |
| 3528 | '/Users/chrism/projects/osi/bfgenv/src/karl/karl/views/__init__.pyc'> | |
| 3529 | already has a __loader__ (probably a module in a zipped egg)``. | |
| 3530 | ||
| 3531 | 1.0a7 (2009-06-30) | |
| 3532 | ================== | |
| 3533 | ||
| 3534 | Features | |
| 3535 | -------- | |
| 3536 | ||
| 3537 | - Add a ``reload_resources`` configuration file setting (aka the | |
| 3538 | ``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` environment variable). When this is set to | |
| 3539 | true, the server never needs to be restarted when moving files | |
| 3540 | between directory resource overrides (esp. for templates currently). | |
| 3541 | ||
| 3542 | - Add a ``reload_all`` configuration file setting (aka the | |
| 3543 | ``BFG_RELOAD_ALL`` environment variable) that implies both | |
| 3544 | ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_templates``. | |
| 3545 | ||
| 3546 | - The ``static`` helper view class now uses a ``PackageURLParser`` in | |
| 3547 | order to allow for the overriding of static resources (CSS / logo | |
| 3548 | files, etc) using the ``resource`` ZCML directive. The | |
| 3549 | ``PackageURLParser`` class was added to a (new) ``static`` module in | |
| 3550 | BFG; it is a subclass of the ``StaticURLParser`` class in | |
| 3551 | ``paste.urlparser``. | |
| 3552 | ||
| 3553 | - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function now | |
| 3554 | checks for the ``reload_resources`` setting; if it's true, it does | |
| 3555 | not register a template renderer (it won't use the registry as a | |
| 3556 | template renderer cache). | |
| 3557 | ||
| 3558 | Documentation | |
| 3559 | ------------- | |
| 3560 | ||
| 3561 | - Add ``pkg_resources`` to the glossary. | |
| 3562 | ||
| 3563 | - Update the "Environment" docs to note the existence of | |
| 3564 | ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_all``. | |
| 3565 | ||
| 3566 | - Updated the ``bfg_alchemy`` paster template to include two views: | |
| 3567 | the view on the root shows a list of links to records; the view on | |
| 3568 | a record shows the details for that object. | |
| 3569 | ||
| 3570 | Internal | |
| 3571 | -------- | |
| 3572 | ||
| 3573 | - Use a colon instead of a tab as the separator between package name | |
| 3574 | and relpath to form the "spec" when register a ITemplateRenderer. | |
| 3575 | ||
| 3576 | - Register a ``repoze.bfg.resource.OverrideProvider`` as a | |
| 3577 | pkg_resources provider only for modules which are known to have | |
| 3578 | overrides, instead of globally, when a <resource> directive is used | |
| 3579 | (performance). | |
| 3580 | ||
| 3581 | 1.0a6 (2009-06-29) | |
| 3582 | ================== | |
| 3583 | ||
| 3584 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3585 | --------- | |
| 3586 | ||
| 3587 | - Use ``caller_package`` function instead of ``caller_module`` | |
| 3588 | function within ``templating`` to avoid needing to name the caller | |
| 3589 | module in resource overrides (actually match docs). | |
| 3590 | ||
| 3591 | - Make it possible to override templates stored directly in a module | |
| 3592 | with templates in a subdirectory of the same module, stored directly | |
| 3593 | within another module, or stored in a subdirectory of another module | |
| 3594 | (actually match docs). | |
| 3595 | ||
| 3596 | 1.0a5 (2009-06-28) | |
| 3597 | ================== | |
| 3598 | ||
| 3599 | Features | |
| 3600 | -------- | |
| 3601 | ||
| 3602 | - A new ZCML directive exists named "resource". This ZCML directive | |
| 3603 | allows you to override Chameleon templates within a package (both | |
| 3604 | directories full of templates and individual template files) with | |
| 3605 | other templates in the same package or within another package. This | |
| 3606 | allows you to "fake out" a view's use of a template, causing it to | |
| 3607 | retrieve a different template than the one actually named by a | |
| 3608 | relative path to a call like | |
| 3609 | ``render_template_to_response('templates/mytemplate.pt')``. For | |
| 3610 | example, you can override a template file by doing:: | |
| 3611 | ||
| 3612 | <resource | |
| 3613 | to_override="some.package:templates/mytemplate.pt" | |
| 3614 | override_with="another.package:othertemplates/anothertemplate.pt" | |
| 3615 | /> | |
| 3616 | ||
| 3617 | The string passed to "to_override" and "override_with" is named a | |
| 3618 | "specification". The colon separator in a specification separates | |
| 3619 | the package name from a package-relative directory name. The colon | |
| 3620 | and the following relative path are optional. If they are not | |
| 3621 | specified, the override attempts to resolve every lookup into a | |
| 3622 | package from the directory of another package. For example:: | |
| 3623 | ||
| 3624 | <resource | |
| 3625 | to_override="some.package" | |
| 3626 | override_with="another.package" | |
| 3627 | /> | |
| 3628 | ||
| 3629 | ||
| 3630 | Individual subdirectories within a package can also be overridden:: | |
| 3631 | ||
| 3632 | <resource | |
| 3633 | to_override="some.package:templates/" | |
| 3634 | override_with="another.package:othertemplates/" | |
| 3635 | /> | |
| 3636 | ||
| 3637 | If you wish to override a directory with another directory, you must | |
| 3638 | make sure to attach the slash to the end of both the ``to_override`` | |
| 3639 | specification and the ``override_with`` specification. If you fail | |
| 3640 | to attach a slash to the end of a specification that points a | |
| 3641 | directory, you will get unexpected results. You cannot override a | |
| 3642 | directory specification with a file specification, and vice versa (a | |
| 3643 | startup error will occur if you try). | |
| 3644 | ||
| 3645 | You cannot override a resource with itself (a startup error will | |
| 3646 | occur if you try). | |
| 3647 | ||
| 3648 | Only individual *package* resources may be overridden. Overrides | |
| 3649 | will not traverse through subpackages within an overridden package. | |
| 3650 | This means that if you want to override resources for both | |
| 3651 | ``some.package:templates``, and ``some.package.views:templates``, | |
| 3652 | you will need to register two overrides. | |
| 3653 | ||
| 3654 | The package name in a specification may start with a dot, meaning | |
| 3655 | that the package is relative to the package in which the ZCML file | |
| 3656 | resides. For example:: | |
| 3657 | ||
| 3658 | <resource | |
| 3659 | to_override=".subpackage:templates/" | |
| 3660 | override_with="another.package:templates/" | |
| 3661 | /> | |
| 3662 | ||
| 3663 | Overrides for the same ``to_overrides`` specification can be named | |
| 3664 | multiple times within ZCML. Each ``override_with`` path will be | |
| 3665 | consulted in the order defined within ZCML, forming an override | |
| 3666 | search path. | |
| 3667 | ||
| 3668 | Resource overrides can actually override resources other than | |
| 3669 | templates. Any software which uses the ``pkg_resources`` | |
| 3670 | ``get_resource_filename``, ``get_resource_stream`` or | |
| 3671 | ``get_resource_string`` APIs will obtain an overridden file when an | |
| 3672 | override is used. However, the only built-in facility which uses | |
| 3673 | the ``pkg_resources`` API within BFG is the templating stuff, so we | |
| 3674 | only call out template overrides here. | |
| 3675 | ||
| 3676 | - Use the ``pkg_resources`` API to locate template filenames instead | |
| 3677 | of dead-reckoning using the ``os.path`` module. | |
| 3678 | ||
| 3679 | - The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module now uses ``pkg_resources`` to | |
| 3680 | locate and register template files instead of using an absolute | |
| 3681 | path name. | |
| 3682 | ||
| 3683 | 1.0a4 (2009-06-25) | |
| 3684 | ================== | |
| 3685 | ||
| 3686 | Features | |
| 3687 | -------- | |
| 3688 | ||
| 3689 | - Cause ``:segment`` matches in route paths to put a Unicode-decoded | |
| 3690 | and URL-dequoted value in the matchdict for the value matched. | |
| 3691 | Previously a non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the | |
| 3692 | matchdict as the value. | |
| 3693 | ||
| 3694 | - Cause ``*remainder`` matches in route paths to put a *tuple* in the | |
| 3695 | matchdict dictionary in order to be able to present Unicode-decoded | |
| 3696 | and URL-dequoted values for the traversal path. Previously a | |
| 3697 | non-decoded non-URL-dequoted string was placed in the matchdict as | |
| 3698 | the value. | |
| 3699 | ||
| 3700 | - Add optional ``max_age`` keyword value to the ``remember`` method of | |
| 3701 | ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``; if this | |
| 3702 | value is passed to ``remember``, the generated cookie will have a | |
| 3703 | corresponding Max-Age value. | |
| 3704 | ||
| 3705 | Documentation | |
| 3706 | ------------- | |
| 3707 | ||
| 3708 | - Add information to the URL Dispatch narrative documentation about | |
| 3709 | path pattern matching syntax. | |
| 3710 | ||
| 3711 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3712 | --------- | |
| 3713 | ||
| 3714 | - Make ``route_url`` URL-quote segment replacements during generation. | |
| 3715 | Remainder segments are not quoted. | |
| 3716 | ||
| 3717 | 1.0a3 (2009-06-24) | |
| 3718 | ================== | |
| 3719 | ||
| 3720 | Implementation Changes | |
| 3721 | ---------------------- | |
| 3722 | ||
| 3723 | - ``repoze.bfg`` no longer relies on the Routes package to interpret | |
| 3724 | URL paths. All known existing ``path`` patterns will continue to | |
| 3725 | work with the reimplemented logic, which lives in | |
| 3726 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``. ``<route>`` ZCML directives which use | |
| 3727 | certain attributes (uncommon ones) may not work (see "Backwards | |
| 3728 | Incompatibilities" below). | |
| 3729 | ||
| 3730 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3731 | --------- | |
| 3732 | ||
| 3733 | - ``model_url`` when passed a request that was generated as a result | |
| 3734 | of a route match would fail in a call to ``route.generate``. | |
| 3735 | ||
| 3736 | - BFG-on-GAE didn't work due to a corner case bug in the fallback | |
| 3737 | Python implementation of ``threading.local`` (symptom: | |
| 3738 | "Initialization arguments are not supported"). Thanks to Michael | |
| 3739 | Bernstein for the bug report. | |
| 3740 | ||
| 3741 | Documentation | |
| 3742 | ------------- | |
| 3743 | ||
| 3744 | - Added a "corner case" explanation to the "Hybrid Apps" chapter | |
| 3745 | explaining what to do when "the wrong" view is matched. | |
| 3746 | ||
| 3747 | - Use ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API in tutorials rather than Routes | |
| 3748 | ``url_for`` API. | |
| 3749 | ||
| 3750 | Features | |
| 3751 | -------- | |
| 3752 | ||
| 3753 | - Added the ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` API. This API allows you to | |
| 3754 | generate URLs based on ``<route>`` declarations. See the URL | |
| 3755 | Dispatch narrative chapter and the "repoze.bfg.url" module API | |
| 3756 | documentation for more information. | |
| 3757 | ||
| 3758 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3759 | --------------------------- | |
| 3760 | ||
| 3761 | - As a result of disusing Routes, using the Routes ``url_for`` API | |
| 3762 | inside a BFG application (as was suggested by previous iterations of | |
| 3763 | tutorials) will no longer work. Use the | |
| 3764 | ``repoze.bfg.url.route_url`` method instead. | |
| 3765 | ||
| 3766 | - The following attributes on the ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer | |
| 3767 | work: ``encoding``, ``static``, ``filter``, ``condition_method``, | |
| 3768 | ``condition_subdomain``, ``condition_function``, ``explicit``, or | |
| 3769 | ``subdomains``. These were all Routes features. | |
| 3770 | ||
| 3771 | - The ``<route>`` ZCML directive no longer supports the | |
| 3772 | ``<requirement>`` subdirective. This was a Routes feature. | |
| 3773 | ||
| 3774 | 1.0a2 (2009-06-23) | |
| 3775 | ================== | |
| 3776 | ||
| 3777 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3778 | --------- | |
| 3779 | ||
| 3780 | - The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template app tests failed due to a | |
| 3781 | mismatch between test and view signatures. | |
| 3782 | ||
| 3783 | Features | |
| 3784 | -------- | |
| 3785 | ||
| 3786 | - Add a ``view_for`` attribute to the ``route`` ZCML directive. This | |
| 3787 | attribute should refer to an interface or a class (ala the ``for`` | |
| 3788 | attribute of the ``view`` ZCML directive). | |
| 3789 | ||
| 3790 | Documentation | |
| 3791 | ------------- | |
| 3792 | ||
| 3793 | - Conditional documentation in installation section ("how to install a | |
| 3794 | Python interpreter"). | |
| 3795 | ||
| 3796 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3797 | --------------------------- | |
| 3798 | ||
| 3799 | - The ``callback`` argument of the ``repoze.bfg.authentication`` | |
| 3800 | authentication policies named ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy``, | |
| 3801 | ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, and | |
| 3802 | ``AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` now must accept two positional | |
| 3803 | arguments: the orginal argument accepted by each (userid or | |
| 3804 | identity) plus a second argument, which will be the current request. | |
| 3805 | Apologies, this is required to service finding groups when there is | |
| 3806 | no "global" database connection. | |
| 3807 | ||
| 3808 | 1.0a1 (2009-06-22) | |
| 3809 | ================== | |
| 3810 | ||
| 3811 | Features | |
| 3812 | -------- | |
| 3813 | ||
| 3814 | - A new ZCML directive was added named ``notfound``. This ZCML | |
| 3815 | directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when the | |
| 3816 | request can't otherwise be resolved to a view callable. For example:: | |
| 3817 | ||
| 3818 | <notfound | |
| 3819 | view="helloworld.views.notfound_view"/> | |
| 3820 | ||
| 3821 | - A new ZCML directive was added named ``forbidden``. This ZCML | |
| 3822 | directive can be used to name a view that should be invoked when a | |
| 3823 | view callable for a request is found, but cannot be invoked due to | |
| 3824 | an authorization failure. For example:: | |
| 3825 | ||
| 3826 | <forbidden | |
| 3827 | view="helloworld.views.forbidden_view"/> | |
| 3828 | ||
| 3829 | - Allow views to be *optionally* defined as callables that accept only | |
| 3830 | a request object, instead of both a context and a request (which | |
| 3831 | still works, and always will). The following types work as views in | |
| 3832 | this style: | |
| 3833 | ||
| 3834 | - functions that accept a single argument ``request``, e.g.:: | |
| 3835 | ||
| 3836 | def aview(request): | |
| 3837 | pass | |
| 3838 | ||
| 3839 | - new and old-style classes that have an ``__init__`` method that | |
| 3840 | accepts ``self, request``, e.g.:: | |
| 3841 | ||
| 3842 | def View(object): | |
| 3843 | __init__(self, request): | |
| 3844 | pass | |
| 3845 | ||
| 3846 | - Arbitrary callables that have a ``__call__`` method that accepts | |
| 3847 | ``self, request``, e.g.:: | |
| 3848 | ||
| 3849 | def AView(object): | |
| 3850 | def __call__(self, request): | |
| 3851 | pass | |
| 3852 | view = AView() | |
| 3853 | ||
| 3854 | This likely should have been the calling convention all along, as | |
| 3855 | the request has ``context`` as an attribute already, and with views | |
| 3856 | called as a result of URL dispatch, having the context in the | |
| 3857 | arguments is not very useful. C'est la vie. | |
| 3858 | ||
| 3859 | - Cache the absolute path in the caller's package globals within | |
| 3860 | ``repoze.bfg.path`` to get rid of repeated (expensive) calls to | |
| 3861 | os.path.abspath. | |
| 3862 | ||
| 3863 | - Add ``reissue_time`` and ``timeout`` parameters to | |
| 3864 | ``repoze.bfg.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` | |
| 3865 | constructor. If these are passed, cookies will be reset every so | |
| 3866 | often (cadged from the same change to repoze.who lately). | |
| 3867 | ||
| 3868 | - The matchdict related to the matching of a Routes route is available | |
| 3869 | on the request as the ``matchdict`` attribute: | |
| 3870 | ``request.matchdict``. If no route matched, this attribute will be | |
| 3871 | None. | |
| 3872 | ||
| 3873 | - Make 404 responses slightly cheaper by showing | |
| 3874 | ``environ["PATH_INFO"]`` on the notfound result page rather than the | |
| 3875 | fullly computed URL. | |
| 3876 | ||
| 3877 | - Move LRU cache implementation into a separate package | |
| 3878 | (``repoze.lru``). | |
| 3879 | ||
| 3880 | - The concepts of traversal and URL dispatch have been unified. It is | |
| 3881 | now possible to use the same sort of factory as both a traversal | |
| 3882 | "root factory" and what used to be referred to as a urldispatch | |
| 3883 | "context factory". | |
| 3884 | ||
| 3885 | - When the root factory argument (as a first argument) passed to | |
| 3886 | ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` is ``None``, a *default* root factory | |
| 3887 | is used. This is in support of using routes as "root finders"; it | |
| 3888 | supplants the idea that there is a default | |
| 3889 | ``IRoutesContextFactory``. | |
| 3890 | ||
| 3891 | - The `view`` ZCML statement and the ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view`` | |
| 3892 | decorator now accept an extra argument: ``route_name``. If a | |
| 3893 | ``route_name`` is specified, it must match the name of a previously | |
| 3894 | defined ``route`` statement. When it is specified, the view will | |
| 3895 | only be called when that route matches during a request. | |
| 3896 | ||
| 3897 | - It is now possible to perfom traversal *after* a route has matched. | |
| 3898 | Use the pattern ``*traverse`` in a ``<route>`` ``path`` attribute | |
| 3899 | within ZCML, and the path remainder which it matches will be used as | |
| 3900 | a traversal path. | |
| 3901 | ||
| 3902 | - When any route defined matches, the WSGI environment will now | |
| 3903 | contain a key ``bfg.routes.route`` (the Route object which matched), | |
| 3904 | and a key ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` (the result of calling route.match). | |
| 3905 | ||
| 3906 | Deprecations | |
| 3907 | ------------ | |
| 3908 | ||
| 3909 | - Utility registrations against | |
| 3910 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` and | |
| 3911 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView`` are now deprecated. Use | |
| 3912 | the ``notfound`` and ``forbidden`` ZCML directives instead (see the | |
| 3913 | "Hooks" chapter for more information). Such registrations will | |
| 3914 | continue to work, but the notfound and forbidden directives do | |
| 3915 | "extra work" to ensure that the callable named by the directive can | |
| 3916 | be called by the router even if it's a class or | |
| 3917 | request-argument-only view. | |
| 3918 | ||
| 3919 | Removals | |
| 3920 | -------- | |
| 3921 | ||
| 3922 | - The ``IRoutesContext``, ``IRoutesContextFactory``, and | |
| 3923 | ``IContextNotFound`` interfaces were removed from | |
| 3924 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``. These were never APIs. | |
| 3925 | ||
| 3926 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextNotFound``, | |
| 3927 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` and | |
| 3928 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContextURL`` classes were removed. | |
| 3929 | These were also never APIs. | |
| 3930 | ||
| 3931 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 3932 | --------------------------- | |
| 3933 | ||
| 3934 | - Moved the ``repoze.bfg.push`` module, which implemented the ``pushpage`` | |
| 3935 | decorator, into a separate distribution, ``repoze.bfg.pushpage``. | |
| 3936 | Applications which used this decorator should continue to work after | |
| 3937 | adding that distribution to their installation requirements. | |
| 3938 | ||
| 3939 | - Changing the default request factory via an IRequestFactory utility | |
| 3940 | registration (as used to be documented in the "Hooks" chapter's | |
| 3941 | "Changing the request factory" section) is no longer supported. The | |
| 3942 | dance to manufacture a request is complicated as a result of | |
| 3943 | unifying traversal and url dispatch, making it highly unlikely for | |
| 3944 | anyone to be able to override it properly. For those who just want | |
| 3945 | to decorate or modify a request, use a NewRequestEvent subscriber | |
| 3946 | (see the Events chapter in the documentation). | |
| 3947 | ||
| 3948 | - The ``repoze.bfg.IRequestFactory`` interface was removed. See the | |
| 3949 | bullet above for why. | |
| 3950 | ||
| 3951 | - Routes "context factories" (spelled as the factory argument to a | |
| 3952 | route statement in ZCML) must now expect the WSGI environ as a | |
| 3953 | single argument rather than a set of keyword arguments. They can | |
| 3954 | obtain the match dictionary by asking for | |
| 3955 | environ['bfg.routes.matchdict']. This is the same set of keywords | |
| 3956 | that used to be passed to urldispatch "context factories" in BFG 0.9 | |
| 3957 | and below. | |
| 3958 | ||
| 3959 | - Using the ``@zope.component.adapter`` decorator on a bfg view | |
| 3960 | function no longer works. Use the ``@repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view`` | |
| 3961 | decorator instead to mark a function (or a class) as a view. | |
| 3962 | ||
| 3963 | - The name under which the matching route object is found in the | |
| 3964 | environ was changed from ``bfg.route`` to ``bfg.routes.route``. | |
| 3965 | ||
| 3966 | - Finding the root is now done *before* manufacturing a request object | |
| 3967 | (and sending a new request event) within the router (it used to be | |
| 3968 | performed afterwards). | |
| 3969 | ||
| 3970 | - Adding ``*path_info`` to a route no longer changes the PATH_INFO for | |
| 3971 | a request that matches using URL dispatch. This feature was only | |
| 3972 | there to service the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` decorator and it | |
| 3973 | did it wrong; use ``*subpath`` instead now. | |
| 3974 | ||
| 3975 | - The values of ``subpath``, ``traversed``, and ``virtual_root_path`` | |
| 3976 | attached to the request object are always now tuples instead of | |
| 3977 | lists (performance). | |
| 3978 | ||
| 3979 | Bug Fixes | |
| 3980 | --------- | |
| 3981 | ||
| 3982 | - The ``bfg_alchemy`` Paster template named "repoze.tm" in its | |
| 3983 | pipeline rather than "repoze.tm2", causing the startup to fail. | |
| 3984 | ||
| 3985 | - Move BBB logic for registering an | |
| 3986 | IAuthenticationPolicy/IForbiddenView/INotFoundView based on older | |
| 3987 | concepts from the router module's ``make_app`` function into the | |
| 3988 | ``repoze.bfg.zcml.zcml_configure`` callable, to service | |
| 3989 | compatibility with scripts that use "zope.configuration.xmlconfig" | |
| 3990 | (replace with ``repoze.bfg.zml.zcml_configure`` as necessary to get | |
| 3991 | BBB logic) | |
| 3992 | ||
| 3993 | Documentation | |
| 3994 | ------------- | |
| 3995 | ||
| 3996 | - Add interface docs related to how to create authentication policies | |
| 3997 | and authorization policies to the "Security" narrative chapter. | |
| 3998 | ||
| 3999 | - Added a (fairly sad) "Combining Traversal and URL Dispatch" chapter | |
| 4000 | to the narrative documentation. This explains the usage of | |
| 4001 | ``*traverse`` and ``*subpath`` in routes URL patters. | |
| 4002 | ||
| 4003 | - A "router" chapter explaining the request/response lifecycle at a | |
| 4004 | high level was added. | |
| 4005 | ||
| 4006 | - Replaced all mentions and explanations of a routes "context factory" | |
| 4007 | with equivalent explanations of a "root factory" (context factories | |
| 4008 | have been disused). | |
| 4009 | ||
| 4010 | - Updated Routes bfgwiki2 tutorial to reflect the fact that context | |
| 4011 | factories are now no longer used. | |
| 4012 | ||
| 4013 | 0.9.1 (2009-06-02) | |
| 4014 | ================== | |
| 4015 | ||
| 4016 | Features | |
| 4017 | -------- | |
| 4018 | ||
| 4019 | - Add API named ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` which retrieves a | |
| 4020 | derivation of values passed as the ``options`` value of | |
| 4021 | ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app``. This API should be preferred | |
| 4022 | instead of using getUtility(ISettings). I added a new | |
| 4023 | ``repoze.bfg.settings`` API document as well. | |
| 4024 | ||
| 4025 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4026 | --------- | |
| 4027 | ||
| 4028 | - Restored missing entry point declaration for bfg_alchemy paster | |
| 4029 | template, which was accidentally removed in 0.9. | |
| 4030 | ||
| 4031 | Documentation | |
| 4032 | ------------- | |
| 4033 | ||
| 4034 | - Fix a reference to ``wsgiapp`` in the ``wsgiapp2`` API documentation | |
| 4035 | within the ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module. | |
| 4036 | ||
| 4037 | API Removals | |
| 4038 | ------------ | |
| 4039 | ||
| 4040 | - The ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` API was removed: it didn't do | |
| 4041 | enough to be very helpful and had a misleading name. | |
| 4042 | ||
| 4043 | 0.9 (2009-06-01) | |
| 4044 | ================ | |
| 4045 | ||
| 4046 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4047 | --------- | |
| 4048 | ||
| 4049 | - It was not possible to register a custom ``IRoutesContextFactory`` | |
| 4050 | for use as a default context factory as documented in the "Hooks" | |
| 4051 | chapter. | |
| 4052 | ||
| 4053 | Features | |
| 4054 | -------- | |
| 4055 | ||
| 4056 | - The ``request_type`` argument of ZCML ``view`` declarations and | |
| 4057 | ``bfg_view`` decorators can now be one of the strings ``GET``, | |
| 4058 | ``POST``, ``PUT``, ``DELETE``, or ``HEAD`` instead of a reference to | |
| 4059 | the respective interface type imported from | |
| 4060 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces``. | |
| 4061 | ||
| 4062 | - The ``route`` ZCML directive now accepts ``request_type`` as an | |
| 4063 | alias for its ``condition_method`` argument for symmetry with the | |
| 4064 | ``view`` directive. | |
| 4065 | ||
| 4066 | - The ``bfg_routesalchemy`` paster template now provides a unit test | |
| 4067 | and actually uses the database during a view rendering. | |
| 4068 | ||
| 4069 | Removals | |
| 4070 | -------- | |
| 4071 | ||
| 4072 | - Remove ``repoze.bfg.threadlocal.setManager``. It was only used in | |
| 4073 | unit tests. | |
| 4074 | ||
| 4075 | - Remove ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``, | |
| 4076 | ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.NotFound``, and ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.Unauthorized``. | |
| 4077 | These classes were disused with the introduction of the | |
| 4078 | ``IUnauthorizedView`` and ``INotFoundView`` machinery. | |
| 4079 | ||
| 4080 | Documentation | |
| 4081 | ------------- | |
| 4082 | ||
| 4083 | - Add description to narrative templating chapter about how to use | |
| 4084 | Chameleon text templates. | |
| 4085 | ||
| 4086 | - Changed Views narrative chapter to use method strings rather than | |
| 4087 | interface types, and moved advanced interface type usage to Events | |
| 4088 | narrative chapter. | |
| 4089 | ||
| 4090 | - Added a Routes+SQLAlchemy wiki tutorial. | |
| 4091 | ||
| 4092 | 0.9a8 (2009-05-31) | |
| 4093 | ================== | |
| 4094 | ||
| 4095 | Features | |
| 4096 | -------- | |
| 4097 | ||
| 4098 | - It is now possible to register a custom | |
| 4099 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` for a given application. | |
| 4100 | This feature replaces the | |
| 4101 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` feature previously | |
| 4102 | described in the Hooks chapter. The INotFoundView will be called | |
| 4103 | when the framework detects that a view lookup done as a result of a | |
| 4104 | request fails; it should accept a context object and a request | |
| 4105 | object; it should return an IResponse object (a webob response, | |
| 4106 | basically). See the Hooks narrative chapter of the BFG docs for | |
| 4107 | more info. | |
| 4108 | ||
| 4109 | - The error presented when a view invoked by the router returns a | |
| 4110 | non-response object now includes the view's name for troubleshooting | |
| 4111 | purposes. | |
| 4112 | ||
| 4113 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4114 | --------- | |
| 4115 | ||
| 4116 | - A "new response" event is emitted for forbidden and notfound views. | |
| 4117 | ||
| 4118 | Deprecations | |
| 4119 | ------------ | |
| 4120 | ||
| 4121 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundAppFactory`` interface has been | |
| 4122 | deprecated in favor of using the new | |
| 4123 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INotFoundView`` mechanism. | |
| 4124 | ||
| 4125 | Renames | |
| 4126 | ------- | |
| 4127 | ||
| 4128 | - Renamed ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` to | |
| 4129 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenView``. | |
| 4130 | ||
| 4131 | 0.9a7 (2009-05-30) | |
| 4132 | ================== | |
| 4133 | ||
| 4134 | Features | |
| 4135 | -------- | |
| 4136 | ||
| 4137 | - Remove "context" argument from ``effective_principals`` and | |
| 4138 | ``authenticated_userid`` function APIs in ``repoze.bfg.security``, | |
| 4139 | effectively a doing reversion to 0.8 and before behavior. Both | |
| 4140 | functions now again accept only the ``request`` parameter. | |
| 4141 | ||
| 4142 | 0.9a6 (2009-05-29) | |
| 4143 | ================== | |
| 4144 | ||
| 4145 | Documentation | |
| 4146 | ------------- | |
| 4147 | ||
| 4148 | - Changed "BFG Wiki" tutorial to use AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy | |
| 4149 | rather than repoze.who. | |
| 4150 | ||
| 4151 | Features | |
| 4152 | -------- | |
| 4153 | ||
| 4154 | - Add an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy. This policy retrieves | |
| 4155 | credentials from an auth_tkt cookie managed by the application | |
| 4156 | itself (instead of relying on an upstream data source for | |
| 4157 | authentication data). See the Security API chapter of the | |
| 4158 | documentation for more info. | |
| 4159 | ||
| 4160 | - Allow RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy and | |
| 4161 | RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy to accept various constructor | |
| 4162 | arguments. See the Security API chapter of the documentation for | |
| 4163 | more info. | |
| 4164 | ||
| 4165 | 0.9a5 (2009-05-28) | |
| 4166 | ================== | |
| 4167 | ||
| 4168 | Features | |
| 4169 | -------- | |
| 4170 | ||
| 4171 | - Add a ``get_app`` API functions to the ``paster`` module. This | |
| 4172 | obtains a WSGI application from a config file given a config file | |
| 4173 | name and a section name. See the ``repoze.bfg.paster`` API docs for | |
| 4174 | more information. | |
| 4175 | ||
| 4176 | - Add a new module named ``scripting``. It contains a ``get_root`` | |
| 4177 | API function, which, provided a Router instance, returns a traversal | |
| 4178 | root object and a "closer". See the ``repoze.bfg.scripting`` API | |
| 4179 | docs for more info. | |
| 4180 | ||
| 4181 | 0.9a4 (2009-05-27) | |
| 4182 | ================== | |
| 4183 | ||
| 4184 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4185 | --------- | |
| 4186 | ||
| 4187 | - Try checking for an "old style" security policy *after* we parse | |
| 4188 | ZCML (thinko). | |
| 4189 | ||
| 4190 | 0.9a3 (2009-05-27) | |
| 4191 | ================== | |
| 4192 | ||
| 4193 | Features | |
| 4194 | -------- | |
| 4195 | ||
| 4196 | - Allow IAuthenticationPolicy and IAuthorizationPolicy to be | |
| 4197 | overridden via ZCML registrations (do ZCML parsing after | |
| 4198 | registering these in router.py). | |
| 4199 | ||
| 4200 | Documentation | |
| 4201 | ------------- | |
| 4202 | ||
| 4203 | - Added "BFG Wiki" tutorial to documentation; it describes | |
| 4204 | step-by-step how to create a traversal-based ZODB application with | |
| 4205 | authentication. | |
| 4206 | ||
| 4207 | Deprecations | |
| 4208 | ------------ | |
| 4209 | ||
| 4210 | - Added deprecations for imports of ``ACLSecurityPolicy``, | |
| 4211 | ``InheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``RemoteUserACLSecurityPolicy``, | |
| 4212 | ``RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy``, ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``, | |
| 4213 | and ``WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy`` from the | |
| 4214 | ``repoze.bfg.security`` module; for the meantime (for backwards | |
| 4215 | compatibility purposes) these live in the ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` | |
| 4216 | module. Note however, that the entire concept of a "security | |
| 4217 | policy" is deprecated in BFG in favor of separate authentication and | |
| 4218 | authorization policies, so any use of a security policy will | |
| 4219 | generate additional deprecation warnings even if you do start using | |
| 4220 | ``repoze.bfg.secpols``. ``repoze.bfg.secpols`` will disappear in a | |
| 4221 | future release of ``repoze.bfg``. | |
| 4222 | ||
| 4223 | Deprecated Import Alias Removals | |
| 4224 | -------------------------------- | |
| 4225 | ||
| 4226 | - Remove ``repoze.bfg.template`` module. All imports from this | |
| 4227 | package have been deprecated since 0.3.8. Instead, import | |
| 4228 | ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and | |
| 4229 | ``render_template_to_response`` from the | |
| 4230 | ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module. | |
| 4231 | ||
| 4232 | - Remove backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4233 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). This | |
| 4234 | must now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.traversal.traversal_path``). | |
| 4235 | ||
| 4236 | - Remove backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4237 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` (deprecated since 0.6.5). | |
| 4238 | This must now be imported as | |
| 4239 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``. | |
| 4240 | ||
| 4241 | - Removed backwards compatibility import aliases for | |
| 4242 | ``repoze.bfg.router.get_options`` and ``repoze.bfg.router.Settings`` | |
| 4243 | (deprecated since 0.6.2). These both must now be imported from | |
| 4244 | ``repoze.bfg.settings``. | |
| 4245 | ||
| 4246 | - Removed backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4247 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` (deprecated since 0.6.2). It | |
| 4248 | must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` now. | |
| 4249 | ||
| 4250 | - Removed backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4251 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). It | |
| 4252 | must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` now. | |
| 4253 | ||
| 4254 | - Removed backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4255 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` (deprecated since 0.4.4). | |
| 4256 | It must be imported as | |
| 4257 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory`` now. | |
| 4258 | ||
| 4259 | - Removed backwards compatibility import alias for | |
| 4260 | ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` (deprecated since | |
| 4261 | 0.4.4). This must be imported as ``repoze.bfg.ZPTTemplateRenderer`` | |
| 4262 | now. | |
| 4263 | ||
| 4264 | 0.9a2 (2009-05-27) | |
| 4265 | ================== | |
| 4266 | ||
| 4267 | Features | |
| 4268 | -------- | |
| 4269 | ||
| 4270 | - A paster command has been added named "bfgshell". This command can | |
| 4271 | be used to get an interactive prompt with your BFG root object in | |
| 4272 | the global namespace. E.g.:: | |
| 4273 | ||
| 4274 | bin/paster bfgshell /path/to/myapp.ini myapp | |
| 4275 | ||
| 4276 | See the ``Project`` chapter in the BFG documentation for more | |
| 4277 | information. | |
| 4278 | ||
| 4279 | Deprecations | |
| 4280 | ------------ | |
| 4281 | ||
| 4282 | - The name ``repoze.bfg.registry.registry_manager`` was never an API, | |
| 4283 | but scripts in the wild were using it to set up an environment for | |
| 4284 | use under a debug shell. A backwards compatibility shim has been | |
| 4285 | added for this purpose, but the feature is deprecated. | |
| 4286 | ||
| 4287 | 0.9a1 (2009-5-27) | |
| 4288 | ================= | |
| 4289 | ||
| 4290 | Features | |
| 4291 | -------- | |
| 4292 | ||
| 4293 | - New API functions named ``forget`` and ``remember`` are available in | |
| 4294 | the ``security`` module. The ``forget`` function returns headers | |
| 4295 | which will cause the currently authenticated user to be logged out | |
| 4296 | when set in a response. The ``remember`` function (when passed the | |
| 4297 | proper arguments) will return headers which will cause a principal | |
| 4298 | to be "logged in" when set in a response. See the Security API | |
| 4299 | chapter of the docs for more info. | |
| 4300 | ||
| 4301 | - New keyword arguments to the ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` call | |
| 4302 | have been added: ``authentication_policy`` and | |
| 4303 | ``authorization_policy``. These should, respectively, be an | |
| 4304 | implementation of an authentication policy (an object implementing | |
| 4305 | the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` interface) and | |
| 4306 | an implementation of an authorization policy (an object implementing | |
| 4307 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy)``. Concrete | |
| 4308 | implementations of authentication policies exist in | |
| 4309 | ``repoze.bfg.authentication``. Concrete implementations of | |
| 4310 | authorization policies exist in ``repoze.bfg.authorization``. | |
| 4311 | ||
| 4312 | Both ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy`` default | |
| 4313 | to ``None``. | |
| 4314 | ||
| 4315 | If ``authentication_policy`` is ``None``, but | |
| 4316 | ``authorization_policy`` is *not* ``None``, then | |
| 4317 | ``authorization_policy`` is ignored (the ability to do authorization | |
| 4318 | depends on authentication). | |
| 4319 | ||
| 4320 | If the ``authentication_policy`` argument is *not* ``None``, and the | |
| 4321 | ``authorization_policy`` argument *is* ``None``, the authorization | |
| 4322 | policy defaults to an authorization implementation that uses ACLs | |
| 4323 | (``repoze.bfg.authorization.ACLAuthorizationPolicy``). | |
| 4324 | ||
| 4325 | We no longer encourage configuration of "security policies" using | |
| 4326 | ZCML, as previously we did for ``ISecurityPolicy``. This is because | |
| 4327 | it's not uncommon to need to configure settings for concrete | |
| 4328 | authorization or authentication policies using paste .ini | |
| 4329 | parameters; the app entry point for your application is the natural | |
| 4330 | place to do this. | |
| 4331 | ||
| 4332 | - Two new abstractions have been added in the way of adapters used by | |
| 4333 | the system: an ``IAuthorizationPolicy`` and an | |
| 4334 | ``IAuthenticationPolicy``. A combination of these (as registered by | |
| 4335 | the ``securitypolicy`` ZCML directive) take the place of the | |
| 4336 | ``ISecurityPolicy`` abstraction in previous releases of repoze.who. | |
| 4337 | The API functions in ``repoze.who.security`` (such as | |
| 4338 | ``authentication_userid``, ``effective_principals``, | |
| 4339 | ``has_permission``, and so on) have been changed to try to make use | |
| 4340 | of these new adapters. If you're using an older ``ISecurityPolicy`` | |
| 4341 | adapter, the system will still work, but it will print deprecation | |
| 4342 | warnings when such a policy is used. | |
| 4343 | ||
| 4344 | - The way the (internal) IViewPermission utilities registered via ZCML | |
| 4345 | are invoked has changed. They are purely adapters now, returning a | |
| 4346 | boolean result, rather than returning a callable. You shouldn't have | |
| 4347 | been using these anyway. ;-) | |
| 4348 | ||
| 4349 | - New concrete implementations of IAuthenticationPolicy have been | |
| 4350 | added to the ``repoze.bfg.authentication`` module: | |
| 4351 | ``RepozeWho1AuthenticationPolicy`` which uses ``repoze.who`` | |
| 4352 | identity to retrieve authentication data from and | |
| 4353 | ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy``, which uses the ``REMOTE_USER`` | |
| 4354 | value in the WSGI environment to retrieve authentication data. | |
| 4355 | ||
| 4356 | - A new concrete implementation of IAuthorizationPolicy has been added | |
| 4357 | to the ``repoze.bfg.authorization`` module: | |
| 4358 | ``ACLAuthorizationPolicy`` which uses ACL inheritance to do | |
| 4359 | authorization. | |
| 4360 | ||
| 4361 | - It is now possible to register a custom | |
| 4362 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` for a given | |
| 4363 | application. This feature replaces the | |
| 4364 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` feature previously | |
| 4365 | described in the Hooks chapter. The IForbiddenResponseFactory will | |
| 4366 | be called when the framework detects an authorization failure; it | |
| 4367 | should accept a context object and a request object; it should | |
| 4368 | return an IResponse object (a webob response, basically). Read the | |
| 4369 | below point for more info and see the Hooks narrative chapter of the | |
| 4370 | BFG docs for more info. | |
| 4371 | ||
| 4372 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4373 | --------------------------- | |
| 4374 | ||
| 4375 | - Custom NotFound and Forbidden (nee' Unauthorized) WSGI applications | |
| 4376 | (registered as a utility for INotFoundAppFactory and | |
| 4377 | IUnauthorizedAppFactory) could rely on an environment key named | |
| 4378 | ``message`` describing the circumstance of the response. This key | |
| 4379 | has been renamed to ``repoze.bfg.message`` (as per the WSGI spec, | |
| 4380 | which requires environment extensions to contain dots). | |
| 4381 | ||
| 4382 | Deprecations | |
| 4383 | ------------ | |
| 4384 | ||
| 4385 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IUnauthorizedAppFactory`` interface has | |
| 4386 | been deprecated in favor of using the new | |
| 4387 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IForbiddenResponseFactory`` mechanism. | |
| 4388 | ||
| 4389 | - The ``view_execution_permitted`` API should now be imported from the | |
| 4390 | ``repoze.bfg.security`` module instead of the ``repoze.bfg.view`` | |
| 4391 | module. | |
| 4392 | ||
| 4393 | - The ``authenticated_userid`` and ``effective_principals`` APIs in | |
| 4394 | ``repoze.bfg.security`` used to only take a single argument | |
| 4395 | (request). They now accept two arguments (``context`` and | |
| 4396 | ``request``). Calling them with a single argument is still | |
| 4397 | supported but issues a deprecation warning. (NOTE: this change was | |
| 4398 | reverted in 0.9a7; meaning the 0.9 versions of these functions | |
| 4399 | again accept ``request`` only, just like 0.8 and before). | |
| 4400 | ||
| 4401 | - Use of "old-style" security policies (those base on ISecurityPolicy) | |
| 4402 | is now deprecated. See the "Security" chapter of the docs for info | |
| 4403 | about activating an authorization policy and an authentication poicy. | |
| 4404 | ||
| 4405 | 0.8.1 (2009-05-21) | |
| 4406 | ================== | |
| 4407 | ||
| 4408 | Features | |
| 4409 | -------- | |
| 4410 | ||
| 4411 | - Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML and | |
| 4412 | via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class | |
| 4413 | decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view | |
| 4414 | callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser | |
| 4415 | view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters | |
| 4416 | (conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting | |
| 4417 | instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method). | |
| 4418 | When called, the instance should return a response. For example:: | |
| 4419 | ||
| 4420 | from webob import Response | |
| 4421 | ||
| 4422 | class MyView(object): | |
| 4423 | def __init__(self, context, request): | |
| 4424 | self.context = context | |
| 4425 | self.request = request | |
| 4426 | ||
| 4427 | def __call__(self): | |
| 4428 | return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context) | |
| 4429 | ||
| 4430 | See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the | |
| 4431 | ``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information. | |
| 4432 | ||
| 4433 | - Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wrote | |
| 4434 | ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in | |
| 4435 | projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache | |
| 4436 | file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between | |
| 4437 | imperative (e.g. ``@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative | |
| 4438 | registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same | |
| 4439 | project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML | |
| 4440 | files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only | |
| 4441 | about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1 | |
| 4442 | ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes | |
| 4443 | even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast | |
| 4444 | that it really just didn't matter anyway. | |
| 4445 | ||
| 4446 | 0.8 (2009-05-18) | |
| 4447 | ================ | |
| 4448 | ||
| 4449 | Features | |
| 4450 | -------- | |
| 4451 | ||
| 4452 | - Added a ``traverse`` function to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` | |
| 4453 | module. This function may be used to retrieve certain values | |
| 4454 | computed during path resolution. See the Traversal API chapter of | |
| 4455 | the documentation for more information about this function. | |
| 4456 | ||
| 4457 | Deprecations | |
| 4458 | ------------ | |
| 4459 | ||
| 4460 | - Internal: ``ITraverser`` callables should now return a dictionary | |
| 4461 | rather than a tuple. Up until 0.7.0, all ITraversers were assumed | |
| 4462 | to return a 3-tuple. In 0.7.1, ITraversers were assumed to return a | |
| 4463 | 6-tuple. As (by evidence) it's likely we'll need to add further | |
| 4464 | information to the return value of an ITraverser callable, 0.8 | |
| 4465 | assumes that an ITraverser return a dictionary with certain elements | |
| 4466 | in it. See the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` interface for | |
| 4467 | the list of keys that should be present in the dictionary. | |
| 4468 | ``ITraversers`` which return tuples will still work, although a | |
| 4469 | deprecation warning will be issued. | |
| 4470 | ||
| 4471 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4472 | --------------------------- | |
| 4473 | ||
| 4474 | - If your code used the ITraverser interface directly (not via an API | |
| 4475 | function such as ``find_model``) via an adapter lookup, you'll need | |
| 4476 | to change your code to expect a dictionary rather than a 3- or | |
| 4477 | 6-tuple if your code ever gets return values from the default | |
| 4478 | ModelGraphTraverser or RoutesModelTraverser adapters. | |
| 4479 | ||
| 4480 | 0.8a7 (2009-05-16) | |
| 4481 | ================== | |
| 4482 | ||
| 4483 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4484 | --------------------------- | |
| 4485 | ||
| 4486 | - The ``RoutesMapper`` class in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch`` has been | |
| 4487 | removed, as well as its documentation. It had been deprecated since | |
| 4488 | 0.6.3. Code in ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` | |
| 4489 | which catered to it has also been removed. | |
| 4490 | ||
| 4491 | - The semantics of the ``route`` ZCML directive have been simplified. | |
| 4492 | Previously, it was assumed that to use a route, you wanted to map a | |
| 4493 | route to an externally registered view. The new ``route`` directive | |
| 4494 | instead has a ``view`` attribute which is required, specifying the | |
| 4495 | dotted path to a view callable. When a route directive is | |
| 4496 | processed, a view is *registered* using the name attribute of the | |
| 4497 | route directive as its name and the callable as its value. The | |
| 4498 | ``view_name`` and ``provides`` attributes of the ``route`` directive | |
| 4499 | are therefore no longer used. Effectively, if you were previously | |
| 4500 | using the ``route`` directive, it means you must change a pair of | |
| 4501 | ZCML directives that look like this:: | |
| 4502 | ||
| 4503 | <route | |
| 4504 | name="home" | |
| 4505 | path="" | |
| 4506 | view_name="login" | |
| 4507 | factory=".models.root.Root" | |
| 4508 | /> | |
| 4509 | ||
| 4510 | <view | |
| 4511 | for=".models.root.Root" | |
| 4512 | name="login" | |
| 4513 | view=".views.login_view" | |
| 4514 | /> | |
| 4515 | ||
| 4516 | To a ZCML directive that looks like this:: | |
| 4517 | ||
| 4518 | <route | |
| 4519 | name="home" | |
| 4520 | path="" | |
| 4521 | view=".views.login_view" | |
| 4522 | factory=".models.root.Root" | |
| 4523 | /> | |
| 4524 | ||
| 4525 | In other words, to make old code work, remove the ``view`` | |
| 4526 | directives that were only there to serve the purpose of backing | |
| 4527 | ``route`` directives, and move their ``view=`` attribute into the | |
| 4528 | ``route`` directive itself. | |
| 4529 | ||
| 4530 | This change also necessitated that the ``name`` attribute of the | |
| 4531 | ``route`` directive is now required. If you were previously using | |
| 4532 | ``route`` directives without a ``name`` attribute, you'll need to | |
| 4533 | add one (the name is arbitrary, but must be unique among all | |
| 4534 | ``route`` and ``view`` statements). | |
| 4535 | ||
| 4536 | The ``provides`` attribute of the ``route`` directive has also been | |
| 4537 | removed. This directive specified a sequence of interface types | |
| 4538 | that the generated context would be decorated with. Since route | |
| 4539 | views are always generated now for a single interface | |
| 4540 | (``repoze.bfg.IRoutesContext``) as opposed to being looked up | |
| 4541 | arbitrarily, there is no need to decorate any context to ensure a | |
| 4542 | view is found. | |
| 4543 | ||
| 4544 | Documentation | |
| 4545 | ------------- | |
| 4546 | ||
| 4547 | - Added API docs for the ``repoze.bfg.testing`` methods | |
| 4548 | ``registerAdapter``, ``registerUtiity``, ``registerSubscriber``, and | |
| 4549 | ``cleanUp``. | |
| 4550 | ||
| 4551 | - Added glossary entry for "root factory". | |
| 4552 | ||
| 4553 | - Noted existence of ``repoze.bfg.pagetemplate`` template bindings in | |
| 4554 | "Available Add On Template System Bindings" in Templates chapter in | |
| 4555 | narrative docs. | |
| 4556 | ||
| 4557 | - Update "Templates" narrative chapter in docs (expand to show a | |
| 4558 | sample template and correct macro example). | |
| 4559 | ||
| 4560 | Features | |
| 4561 | -------- | |
| 4562 | ||
| 4563 | - Courtesty Carlos de la Guardia, added an ``alchemy`` Paster | |
| 4564 | template. This paster template sets up a BFG project that uses | |
| 4565 | SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses traversal to resolve URLs. (no | |
| 4566 | Routes areused). This template can be used via ``paster create -t | |
| 4567 | bfg_alchemy``. | |
| 4568 | ||
| 4569 | - The Routes ``Route`` object used to resolve the match is now put | |
| 4570 | into the environment as ``bfg.route`` when URL dispatch is used. | |
| 4571 | ||
| 4572 | - You can now change the default Routes "context factory" globally. | |
| 4573 | See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation (in the "Changing | |
| 4574 | the Default Routes Context Factory" section). | |
| 4575 | ||
| 4576 | 0.8a6 (2009-05-11) | |
| 4577 | ================== | |
| 4578 | ||
| 4579 | Features | |
| 4580 | -------- | |
| 4581 | ||
| 4582 | - Added a ``routesalchemy`` Paster template. This paster template | |
| 4583 | sets up a BFG project that uses SQAlchemy (with SQLite) and uses | |
| 4584 | Routes exclusively to resolve URLs (no traversal root factory is | |
| 4585 | used). This template can be used via ``paster create -t | |
| 4586 | bfg_routesalchemy``. | |
| 4587 | ||
| 4588 | Documentation | |
| 4589 | ------------- | |
| 4590 | ||
| 4591 | - Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to catch | |
| 4592 | the root URL using a ZCML ``route`` directive. | |
| 4593 | ||
| 4594 | - Added documentation to the URL Dispatch chapter about how to perform | |
| 4595 | a cleanup function at the end of a request (e.g. close the SQL | |
| 4596 | connection). | |
| 4597 | ||
| 4598 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4599 | --------- | |
| 4600 | ||
| 4601 | - In version 0.6.3, passing a ``get_root`` callback (a "root factory") | |
| 4602 | to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` became optional if any ``route`` | |
| 4603 | declaration was made in ZCML. The intent was to make it possible to | |
| 4604 | disuse traversal entirely, instead relying entirely on URL dispatch | |
| 4605 | (Routes) to resolve all contexts. However a compound set of bugs | |
| 4606 | prevented usage of a Routes-based root view (a view which responds | |
| 4607 | to "/"). One bug existed in `repoze.bfg.urldispatch``, another | |
| 4608 | existed in Routes itself. | |
| 4609 | ||
| 4610 | To resolve this issue, the urldispatch module was fixed, and a fork | |
| 4611 | of the Routes trunk was put into the "dev" index named | |
| 2d29f1 | 4612 | ``Routes-1.11dev-chrism-home``. The source for the fork exists at |
| TL | 4613 | `http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/ |
| 4614 | <http://bitbucket.org/chrism/routes-home/>`_ (broken link); | |
| 4615 | its contents have been merged into the Routes trunk | |
| 4616 | (what will be Routes 1.11). | |

| CM | 4618 | 0.8a5 (2009-05-08) |
| 4619 | ================== | |
| 4620 | ||
| 4621 | Features | |
| 4622 | -------- | |
| 4623 | ||
| 4624 | - Two new security policies were added: | |
| 4625 | RemoteUserInheritingACLSecurityPolicy and | |
| 4626 | WhoInheritingACLSecurityPolicy. These are security policies which | |
| 4627 | take into account *all* ACLs defined in the lineage of a context | |
| 4628 | rather than stopping at the first ACL found in a lineage. See the | |
| 4629 | "Security" chapter of the API documentation for more information. | |
| 4630 | ||
| 4631 | - The API and narrative documentation dealing with security was | |
| 4632 | changed to introduce the new "inheriting" security policy variants. | |
| 4633 | ||
| 4634 | - Added glossary entry for "lineage". | |
| 4635 | ||
| 4636 | Deprecations | |
| 4637 | ------------ | |
| 4638 | ||
| 4639 | - The security policy previously named | |
| 4640 | ``RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy`` now has the slightly saner | |
| 4641 | name of ``WhoACLSecurityPolicy``. A deprecation warning is emitted | |
| 4642 | when this policy is imported under the "old" name; usually this is | |
| 4643 | due to its use in ZCML within your application. If you're getting | |
| 4644 | this deprecation warning, change your ZCML to use the new name, | |
| 4645 | e.g. change:: | |
| 4646 | ||
| 4647 | <utility | |
| 4648 | provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy" | |
| 4649 | factory="repoze.bfg.security.RepozeWhoIdentityACLSecurityPolicy" | |
| 4650 | /> | |
| 4651 | ||
| 4652 | To:: | |
| 4653 | ||
| 4654 | <utility | |
| 4655 | provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISecurityPolicy" | |
| 4656 | factory="repoze.bfg.security.WhoACLSecurityPolicy" | |
| 4657 | /> | |
| 4658 | ||
| 4659 | 0.8a4 (2009-05-04) | |
| 4660 | ================== | |
| 4661 | ||
| 4662 | Features | |
| 4663 | -------- | |
| 4664 | ||
| 4665 | - ``zope.testing`` is no longer a direct dependency, although our | |
| 4666 | dependencies (such as ``zope.interface``, ``repoze.zcml``, etc) | |
| 4667 | still depend on it. | |
| 4668 | ||
| 4669 | - Tested on Google App Engine. Added a tutorial to the documentation | |
| 4670 | explaining how to deploy a BFG app to GAE. | |
| 4671 | ||
| 4672 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4673 | --------------------------- | |
| 4674 | ||
| 4675 | - Applications which rely on ``zope.testing.cleanup.cleanUp`` in unit | |
| 4676 | tests can still use that function indefinitely. However, for | |
| 4677 | maximum forward compatibility, they should import ``cleanUp`` from | |
| 4678 | ``repoze.bfg.testing`` instead of from ``zope.testing.cleanup``. | |
| 4679 | The BFG paster templates and docs have been changed to use this | |
| 4680 | function instead of the ``zope.testing.cleanup`` version. | |
| 4681 | ||
| 4682 | 0.8a3 (2009-05-03) | |
| 4683 | =================== | |
| 4684 | ||
| 4685 | Features | |
| 4686 | -------- | |
| 4687 | ||
| 4688 | - Don't require a successful import of ``zope.testing`` at BFG | |
| 4689 | application runtime. This allows us to get rid of ``zope.testing`` | |
| 4690 | on platforms like GAE which have file limits. | |
| 4691 | ||
| 4692 | 0.8a2 (2009-05-02) | |
| 4693 | ================== | |
| 4694 | ||
| 4695 | Features | |
| 4696 | -------- | |
| 4697 | ||
| 4698 | - We no longer include the ``configure.zcml`` of the ``chameleon.zpt`` | |
| 4699 | package within the ``configure.zcml`` of the "repoze.bfg.includes" | |
| 4700 | package. This has been a no-op for some time now. | |
| 4701 | ||
| 4702 | - The ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` package no longer imports from | |
| 4703 | ``chameleon.zpt`` at module scope, deferring the import until later | |
| 4704 | within a method call. The ``chameleon.zpt`` package can't be | |
| 4705 | imported on platforms like GAE. | |
| 4706 | ||
| 4707 | 0.8a1 (2009-05-02) | |
| 4708 | ================== | |
| 4709 | ||
| 4710 | Deprecation Warning and Import Alias Removals | |
| 4711 | --------------------------------------------- | |
| 4712 | ||
| 4713 | - Since version 0.6.1, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the | |
| 4714 | name ``model_url`` is imported from the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` | |
| 4715 | module. This import alias (and the deprecation warning) has been | |
| 4716 | removed. Any import of the ``model_url`` function will now need to | |
| 4717 | be done from ``repoze.bfg.url``; any import of the name | |
| 4718 | ``model_url`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now fail. This was | |
| 4719 | done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport. | |
| 4720 | ||
| 4721 | - Since version 0.6.5, a deprecation warning has been emitted when the | |
| 4722 | name ``RoutesModelTraverser`` is imported from the | |
| 4723 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` module. This import alias (and the | |
| 4724 | deprecation warning) has been removed. Any import of the | |
| 4725 | ``RoutesModelTraverser`` class will now need to be done from | |
| 4726 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``; any import of the name | |
| 4727 | ``RoutesModelTraverser`` from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will now | |
| 4728 | fail. This was done to remove a dependency on zope.deferredimport. | |
| 4729 | ||
| 4730 | Features | |
| 4731 | -------- | |
| 4732 | ||
| 4733 | - This release of ``repoze.bfg`` is "C-free". This means it has no | |
| 4734 | hard dependencies on any software that must be compiled from C | |
| 4735 | source at installation time. In particular, ``repoze.bfg`` no | |
| 4736 | longer depends on the ``lxml`` package. | |
| 4737 | ||
| 4738 | This change has introduced some backwards incompatibilities, | |
| 4739 | described in the "Backwards Incompatibilities" section below. | |
| 4740 | ||
| 4741 | - This release was tested on Windows XP. It appears to work fine and | |
| 4742 | all the tests pass. | |
| 4743 | ||
| 4744 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4745 | --------------------------- | |
| 4746 | ||
| 4747 | Incompatibilities related to making ``repoze.bfg`` "C-free": | |
| 4748 | ||
| 4749 | - Removed the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module, and thus support | |
| 4750 | for Genshi-style chameleon templates. Genshi-style Chameleon | |
| 4751 | templates depend upon ``lxml``, which is implemented in C (as | |
| 4752 | opposed to pure Python) and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free" as | |
| 4753 | of this release. You may get Genshi-style Chameleon support back by | |
| 4754 | installing the ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` package availalable | |
| 4755 | from http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi (also | |
| 4756 | available in the index at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple). | |
| 4757 | All existing code that depended on the ``chameleon_genshi`` module | |
| 4758 | prior to this release of ``repoze.bfg`` should work without change | |
| 4759 | after this addon is installed. | |
| 4760 | ||
| 4761 | - Removed the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module and thus support for XSL | |
| 4762 | templates. The ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module depended upon ``lxml``, | |
| 4763 | which is implemented in C, and the ``repoze.bfg`` core is "C-free" | |
| 4764 | as of this release. You bay get XSL templating back by installing | |
| 4765 | the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` package available from | |
| 4766 | http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.xslt/ (also available in the index | |
| 4767 | at http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/0.8/simple). All existing code that | |
| 4768 | depended upon the ``xslt`` module prior to this release of | |
| 4769 | ``repoze.bfg`` should work without modification after this addon is | |
| 4770 | installed. | |
| 4771 | ||
| 4772 | - Removed the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer`` | |
| 4773 | interface and the an old b/w compat aliases from that interface to | |
| 4774 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate``. This interface must now be | |
| 4775 | imported from the ``repoze.bfg.xslt.interfaces`` package after | |
| 4776 | installation of the ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` addon package described | |
| 4777 | above as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplateRenderer``. This | |
| 4778 | interface was never part of any public API. | |
| 4779 | ||
| 4780 | Other backwards incompatibilities: | |
| 4781 | ||
| 4782 | - The ``render_template`` function in ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` | |
| 4783 | returns Unicode instead of a string. Likewise, the individual | |
| 4784 | values returned by the iterable created by the | |
| 4785 | ``render_template_to_iterable`` function are also each Unicode. | |
| 4786 | This is actually a backwards incompatibility inherited from our new | |
| 4787 | use of the combination of ``chameleon.core`` 1.0b32 (the | |
| 4788 | non-lxml-depending version) and ``chameleon.zpt`` 1.0b16+ ; the | |
| 4789 | ``chameleon.zpt`` PageTemplateFile implementation used to return a | |
| 4790 | string, but now returns Unicode. | |
| 4791 | ||
| 4792 | 0.7.1 (2009-05-01) | |
| 4793 | ================== | |
| 4794 | ||
| 4795 | Index-Related | |
| 4796 | ------------- | |
| 4797 | ||
| 4798 | - The canonical package index location for ``repoze.bfg`` has changed. | |
| 4799 | The "old" index (http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/simple) has | |
| 4800 | been superseded by a new index location | |
| 4801 | (`http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple | |
| 4802 | <http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple>`_). The installation | |
| 4803 | documentation has been updated as well as the ``setup.cfg`` file in | |
| 4804 | this package. The "lemonade" index still exists, but it is not | |
| 4805 | guaranteed to have the latest BFG software in it, nor will it be | |
| 4806 | maintained in the future. | |
| 4807 | ||
| 4808 | Features | |
| 4809 | -------- | |
| 4810 | ||
| 4811 | - The "paster create" templates have been modified to use links to the | |
| 4812 | new "bfg.repoze.org" and "docs.repoze.org" websites. | |
| 4813 | ||
| 4814 | - Added better documentation for virtual hosting at a URL prefix | |
| 4815 | within the virtual hosting docs chapter. | |
| 4816 | ||
| 4817 | - The interface for ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverser`` and the | |
| 4818 | built-in implementations that implement the interface | |
| 4819 | (``repoze.bfg.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser``, and | |
| 4820 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser``) now expect the | |
| 4821 | ``__call__`` method of an ITraverser to return 3 additional | |
| 4822 | arguments: ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and | |
| 4823 | ``virtual_root_path`` (the old contract was that the ``__call__`` | |
| 4824 | method of an ITraverser returned; three arguments, the contract new | |
| 4825 | is that it returns six). ``traversed`` will be a sequence of | |
| 4826 | Unicode names that were traversed (including the virtual root path, | |
| 4827 | if any) or ``None`` if no traversal was performed, ``virtual_root`` | |
| 4828 | will be a model object representing the virtual root (or the | |
| 4829 | physical root if traversal was not performed), and | |
| 4830 | ``virtual_root_path`` will be a sequence representing the virtual | |
| 4831 | root path (a sequence of Unicode names) or ``None`` if traversal was | |
| 4832 | not performed. | |
| 4833 | ||
| 4834 | Six arguments are now returned from BFG ITraversers. They are | |
| 4835 | returned in this order: ``context``, ``view_name``, ``subpath``, | |
| 4836 | ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and ``virtual_root_path``. | |
| 4837 | ||
| 4838 | Places in the BFG code which called an ITraverser continue to accept | |
| 4839 | a 3-argument return value, although BFG will generate and log a | |
| 4840 | warning when one is encountered. | |
| 4841 | ||
| 4842 | - The request object now has the following attributes: ``traversed`` | |
| 4843 | (the sequence of names traversed or ``None`` if traversal was not | |
| 4844 | performed), ``virtual_root`` (the model object representing the | |
| 4845 | virtual root, including the virtual root path if any), and | |
| 4846 | ``virtual_root_path`` (the seuquence of names representing the | |
| 4847 | virtual root path or ``None`` if traversal was not performed). | |
| 4848 | ||
| 4849 | - A new decorator named ``wsgiapp2`` was added to the | |
| 4850 | ``repoze.bfg.wsgi`` module. This decorator performs the same | |
| 4851 | function as ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` except it fixes up the | |
| 4852 | ``SCRIPT_NAME``, and ``PATH_INFO`` environment values before | |
| 4853 | invoking the WSGI subapplication. | |
| 4854 | ||
| 4855 | - The ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyRequest`` object now has default | |
| 4856 | attributes for ``traversed``, ``virtual_root``, and | |
| 4857 | ``virtual_root_path``. | |
| 4858 | ||
| 4859 | - The RoutesModelTraverser now behaves more like the Routes | |
| 4860 | "RoutesMiddleware" object when an element in the match dict is named | |
| 4861 | ``path_info`` (usually when there's a pattern like | |
| 4862 | ``http://foo/*path_info``). When this is the case, the | |
| 4863 | ``PATH_INFO`` environment variable is set to the value in the match | |
| 4864 | dict, and the ``SCRIPT_NAME`` is appended to with the prefix of the | |
| 4865 | original ``PATH_INFO`` not including the value of the new variable. | |
| 4866 | ||
| 4867 | - The notfound debug now shows the traversed path, the virtual root, | |
| 4868 | and the virtual root path too. | |
| 4869 | ||
| 4870 | - Speed up / clarify 'traversal' module's 'model_path', 'model_path_tuple', | |
| 4871 | and '_model_path_list' functions. | |
| 4872 | ||
| 4873 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4874 | --------------------------- | |
| 4875 | ||
| 4876 | - In previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url``, | |
| 4877 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` and | |
| 4878 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` functions always ignored | |
| 4879 | the ``__name__`` argument of the root object in a model graph ( | |
| 4880 | effectively replacing it with a leading ``/`` in the returned value) | |
| 4881 | when a path or URL was generated. The code required to perform this | |
| 4882 | operation was not efficient. As of this release, the root object in | |
| 4883 | a model graph *must* have a ``__name__`` attribute that is either | |
| 4884 | ``None`` or the empty string (``''``) for URLs and paths to be | |
| 4885 | generated properly from these APIs. If your root model object has a | |
| 4886 | ``__name__`` argument that is not one of these values, you will need | |
| 4887 | to change your code for URLs and paths to be generated properly. If | |
| 4888 | your model graph has a root node with a string ``__name__`` that is | |
| 4889 | not null, the value of ``__name__`` will be prepended to every path | |
| 4890 | and URL generated. | |
| 4891 | ||
| 4892 | - The ``repoze.bfg.location.LocationProxy`` class and the | |
| 4893 | ``repoze.bfg.location.ClassAndInstanceDescr`` class have both been | |
| 4894 | removed in order to be able to eventually shed a dependency on | |
| 4895 | ``zope.proxy``. Neither of these classes was ever an API. | |
| 4896 | ||
| 4897 | - In all previous releases, the ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` | |
| 4898 | function worked like so: if a model did not explicitly provide the | |
| 4899 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, ``locate`` returned a | |
| 4900 | ``LocationProxy`` object representing ``model`` with its | |
| 4901 | ``__parent__`` attribute assigned to ``parent`` and a ``__name__`` | |
| 4902 | attribute assigned to ``__name__``. In this release, the | |
| 4903 | ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` function simply jams the ``__name__`` | |
| 4904 | and ``__parent__`` attributes on to the supplied model | |
| 4905 | unconditionally, no matter if the object implements ILocation or | |
| 4906 | not, and it never returns a proxy. This was done because the | |
| 4907 | LocationProxy behavior has now moved into an add-on package | |
| 4908 | (``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper``), in order to eventually be able to | |
| 4909 | shed a dependency on ``zope.proxy``. | |
| 4910 | ||
| 4911 | - In all previous releases, by default, if traversal was used (as | |
| 4912 | opposed to URL-dispatch), and the root object supplied | |
| 4913 | the``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` interface, but the children | |
| 4914 | returned via its ``__getitem__`` returned an object that did not | |
| 4915 | implement the same interface, ``repoze.bfg`` provided some | |
| 4916 | implicit help during traversal. This traversal feature wrapped | |
| 4917 | subobjects from the root (and thereafter) that did not implement | |
| 4918 | ``ILocation`` in proxies which automatically provided them with a | |
| 4919 | ``__name__`` and ``__parent__`` attribute based on the name being | |
| 4920 | traversed and the previous object traversed. This feature has now | |
| 4921 | been removed from the base ``repoze.bfg`` package for purposes of | |
| 4922 | eventually shedding a dependency on ``zope.proxy``. | |
| 4923 | ||
| 4924 | In order to re-enable the wrapper behavior for older applications | |
| 4925 | which cannot be changed, register the "traversalwrapper" | |
| 4926 | ``ModelGraphTraverser`` as the traversal policy, rather than the | |
| 4927 | default ``ModelGraphTraverser``. To use this feature, you will need | |
| 4928 | to install the ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` package (an add-on | |
| 4929 | package, available at | |
| 4930 | http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper) Then change your | |
| 4931 | application's ``configure.zcml`` to include the following stanza: | |
| 4932 | ||
| 4933 | <adapter | |
| 4934 | factory="repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper.ModelGraphTraverser" | |
| 4935 | provides="repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITraverserFactory" | |
| 4936 | for="*" | |
| 4937 | /> | |
| 4938 | ||
| 4939 | When this ITraverserFactory is used instead of the default, no | |
| 4940 | object in the graph (even the root object) must supply a | |
| 4941 | ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` attribute. Even if subobjects | |
| 4942 | returned from the root *do* implement the ILocation interface, | |
| 4943 | these will still be wrapped in proxies that override the object's | |
| 4944 | "real" ``__parent__`` and ``__name__`` attributes. | |
| 4945 | ||
| 4946 | See also changes to the "Models" chapter of the documentation (in | |
| 4947 | the "Location-Aware Model Instances") section. | |
| 4948 | ||
| 4949 | 0.7.0 (2009-04-11) | |
| 4950 | ================== | |
| 4951 | ||
| 4952 | Bug Fixes | |
| 4953 | --------- | |
| 4954 | ||
| 4955 | - Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``: the content length | |
| 4956 | was returned as an int rather than as a string. | |
| 4957 | ||
| 4958 | - Add explicit dependencies on ``zope.deferredimport``, | |
| 4959 | ``zope.deprecation``, and ``zope.proxy`` for forward compatibility | |
| 4960 | reasons (``zope.component`` will stop relying on | |
| 4961 | ``zope.deferredimport`` soon and although we use it directly, it's | |
| 4962 | only a transitive dependency, and ''zope.deprecation`` and | |
| 4963 | ``zope.proxy`` are used directly even though they're only transitive | |
| 4964 | dependencies as well). | |
| 4965 | ||
| 4966 | - Using ``model_url`` or ``model_path`` against a broken model graph | |
| 4967 | (one with models that had a non-root model with a ``__name__`` of | |
| 4968 | ``None``) caused an inscrutable error to be thrown: ( if not | |
| 4969 | ``_must_quote[cachekey].search(s): TypeError: expected string or | |
| 4970 | buffer``). Now URLs and paths generated against graphs that have | |
| 4971 | None names in intermediate nodes will replace the None with the | |
| 4972 | empty string, and, as a result, the error won't be raised. Of | |
| 4973 | course the URL or path will still be bogus. | |
| 4974 | ||
| 4975 | Features | |
| 4976 | -------- | |
| 4977 | ||
| 4978 | - Make it possible to have ``testing.DummyTemplateRenderer`` return | |
| 4979 | some nondefault string representation. | |
| 4980 | ||
| 4981 | - Added a new ``anchor`` keyword argument to ``model_url``. If | |
| 4982 | ``anchor`` is present, its string representation will be used | |
| 4983 | as a named anchor in the generated URL (e.g. if ``anchor`` is | |
| 4984 | passed as ``foo`` and the model URL is | |
| 4985 | ``http://example.com/model/url``, the generated URL will be | |
| 4986 | ``http://example.com/model/url#foo``). | |
| 4987 | ||
| 4988 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 4989 | --------------------------- | |
| 4990 | ||
| 4991 | - The default request charset encoding is now ``utf-8``. As a result, | |
| 4992 | the request machinery will attempt to decode values from the utf-8 | |
| 4993 | encoding to Unicode automatically when they are obtained via | |
| 4994 | ``request.params``, ``request.GET``, and ``request.POST``. The | |
| 4995 | previous behavior of BFG was to return a bytestring when a value was | |
| 4996 | accessed in this manner. This change will break form handling code | |
| 4997 | in apps that rely on values from those APIs being considered | |
| 4998 | bytestrings. If you are manually decoding values from form | |
| 4999 | submissions in your application, you'll either need to change the | |
| 5000 | code that does that to expect Unicode values from | |
| 5001 | ``request.params``, ``request.GET`` and ``request.POST``, or you'll | |
| 5002 | need to explicitly reenable the previous behavior. To reenable the | |
| 5003 | previous behavior, add the following to your application's | |
| 5004 | ``configure.zcml``:: | |
| 5005 | ||
| 5006 | <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewRequest" | |
| 5007 | handler="repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii"/> | |
| 5008 | ||
| 5009 | See also the documentation in the "Views" chapter of the BFG docs | |
| 5010 | entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and | |
| 5011 | Character Set Issues)". | |
| 5012 | ||
| 5013 | Documentation | |
| 5014 | ------------- | |
| 5015 | ||
| 5016 | - Add a section to the narrative Views chapter entitled "Using Views | |
| 5017 | to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and Character Set Issues)" | |
| 5018 | explaining implicit decoding of form data values. | |
| 5019 | ||
| 5020 | 0.6.9 (2009-02-16) | |
| 5021 | ================== | |
| 5022 | ||
| 5023 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5024 | --------- | |
| 5025 | ||
| 5026 | - lru cache was unstable under concurrency (big surprise!) when it | |
| 5027 | tried to redelete a key in the cache that had already been deleted. | |
| 5028 | Symptom: line 64 in put:del data[oldkey]:KeyError: '/some/path'. | |
| 5029 | Now we just ignore the key error if we can't delete the key (it has | |
| 5030 | already been deleted). | |
| 5031 | ||
| 5032 | - Empty location names in model paths when generating a URL using | |
| 5033 | ``repoze.bfg.model_url`` based on a model obtained via traversal are | |
| 5034 | no longer ignored in the generated URL. This means that if a | |
| 5035 | non-root model object has a ``__name__`` of ``''``, the URL will | |
| 5036 | reflect it (e.g. ``model_url`` will generate ``http://foo/bar//baz`` | |
| 5037 | if an object with the ``__name__`` of ``''`` is a child of bar and | |
| 5038 | the parent of baz). URLs generated with empty path segments are, | |
| 5039 | however, still irresolveable by the model graph traverser on request | |
| 5040 | ingress (the traverser strips empty path segment names). | |
| 5041 | ||
| 5042 | Features | |
| 5043 | -------- | |
| 5044 | ||
| 5045 | - Microspeedups of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``, | |
| 5046 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple``, | |
| 5047 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment``, and | |
| 5048 | ``repoze.bfg.url.urlencode``. | |
| 5049 | ||
| 5050 | - add zip_safe = false to setup.cfg. | |

| 5053 | ------------- | |
| 5054 | ||
| 5055 | - Add a note to the ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API | |
| 5056 | docs about caching of computed values. | |
| 5057 | ||
| 5058 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5059 | ---------------------- | |
| 5060 | ||
| 5061 | - Simplification of | |
| 5062 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.TraversalContextURL.__call__`` (it now uses | |
| 5063 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` instead of rolling its own | |
| 5064 | path-generation). | |
| 5065 | ||
| 5066 | 0.6.8 (2009-02-05) | |
| 5067 | ================== | |
| 5068 | ||
| 5069 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5070 | --------------------------- | |
| 5071 | ||
| 5072 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` API now returns a *quoted* | |
| 5073 | string rather than a string represented by series of unquoted | |
| 5074 | elements joined via ``/`` characters. Previously it returned a | |
| 5075 | string or unicode object representing the model path, with each | |
| 5076 | segment name in the path joined together via ``/`` characters, | |
| 5077 | e.g. ``/foo /bar``. Now it returns a string, where each segment is | |
| 5078 | a UTF-8 encoded and URL-quoted element e.g. ``/foo%20/bar``. This | |
| 5079 | change was (as discussed briefly on the repoze-dev maillist) | |
| 5080 | necessary to accomodate model objects which themselves have | |
| 5081 | ``__name__`` attributes that contain the ``/`` character. | |
| 5082 | ||
| 5083 | For people that have no models that have high-order Unicode | |
| 5084 | ``__name__`` attributes or ``__name__`` attributes with values that | |
| 5085 | require URL-quoting with in their model graphs, this won't cause any | |
| 5086 | issue. However, if you have code that currently expects | |
| 5087 | ``model_path`` to return an unquoted string, or you have an existing | |
| 5088 | application with data generated via the old method, and you're too | |
| 5089 | lazy to change anything, you may wish replace the BFG-imported | |
| 5090 | ``model_path`` in your code with this function (this is the code of | |
| 5091 | the "old" ``model_path`` implementation):: | |
| 5092 | ||
| 5093 | from repoze.bfg.location import lineage | |
| 5094 | ||
| 5095 | def i_am_too_lazy_to_move_to_the_new_model_path(model, *elements): | |
| 5096 | rpath = [] | |
| 5097 | for location in lineage(model): | |
| 5098 | if location.__name__: | |
| 5099 | rpath.append(location.__name__) | |
| 5100 | path = '/' + '/'.join(reversed(rpath)) | |
| 5101 | if elements: | |
| 5102 | suffix = '/'.join(elements) | |
| 5103 | path = '/'.join([path, suffix]) | |
| 5104 | return path | |
| 5105 | ||
| 5106 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API no longer implicitly | |
| 5107 | converts unicode representations of a full path passed to it as a | |
| 5108 | Unicode object into a UTF-8 string. Callers should either use | |
| 5109 | prequoted path strings returned by | |
| 5110 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``, or tuple values returned by the | |
| 5111 | result of ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` or they should | |
| 5112 | use the guidelines about passing a string ``path`` argument | |
| 5113 | described in the ``find_model`` API documentation. | |
| 5114 | ||
| 5115 | Bugfixes | |
| 5116 | -------- | |
| 5117 | ||
| 5118 | - Each argument contained in ``elements`` passed to | |
| 5119 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path`` will now have any ``/`` | |
| 5120 | characters contained within quoted to ``%2F`` in the returned | |
| 5121 | string. Previously, ``/`` characters in elements were left unquoted | |
| 5122 | (a bug). | |
| 5123 | ||
| 5124 | Features | |
| 5125 | -------- | |
| 5126 | ||
| 5127 | - A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path_tuple`` API was added. This API | |
| 5128 | is an alternative to ``model_path`` (which returns a string); | |
| 5129 | ``model_path_tuple`` returns a model path as a tuple (much like | |
| 5130 | Zope's ``getPhysicalPath``). | |
| 5131 | ||
| 5132 | - A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.quote_path_segment`` API was added. This | |
| 5133 | API will quote an individual path segment (string or unicode | |
| 5134 | object). See the ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` API documentation for | |
| 5135 | more information. | |
| 5136 | ||
| 5137 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API now accepts "path | |
| 5138 | tuples" (see the above note regarding ``model_path_tuple``) as well | |
| 5139 | as string path representations (from | |
| 5140 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_path``) as a ``path`` argument. | |
| 5141 | ||
| 5142 | - Add ` `renderer`` argument (defaulting to None) to | |
| 5143 | ``repoze.bfg.testing.registerDummyRenderer``. This makes it | |
| 5144 | possible, for instance, to register a custom renderer that raises an | |
| 5145 | exception in a unit test. | |
| 5146 | ||
| 5147 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5148 | ---------------------- | |
| 5149 | ||
| 5150 | - Moved _url_quote function back to ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` from | |
| 5151 | ``repoze.bfg.url``. This is not an API. | |
| 5152 | ||
| 5153 | 0.6.7 (2009-01-27) | |
| 5154 | ================== | |
| 5155 | ||
| 5156 | Features | |
| 5157 | -------- | |
| 5158 | ||
| 5159 | - The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API now works against contexts | |
| 5160 | derived from Routes URL dispatch (``Routes.util.url_for`` is called | |
| 5161 | under the hood). | |
| 5162 | ||
| 5163 | - "Virtual root" support for traversal-based applications has been | |
| 5164 | added. Virtual root support is useful when you'd like to host some | |
| 5165 | model in a ``repoze.bfg`` model graph as an application under a | |
| 5166 | URL pathname that does not include the model path itself. For more | |
| 5167 | information, see the (new) "Virtual Hosting" chapter in the | |
| 5168 | documentation. | |
| 5169 | ||
| 5170 | - A ``repoze.bfg.traversal.virtual_root`` API has been added. When | |
| 5171 | called, it returns the virtual root object (or the physical root | |
| 5172 | object if no virtual root has been specified). | |
| 5173 | ||
| 5174 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5175 | ---------------------- | |
| 5176 | ||
| 5177 | - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` has been moved to | |
| 5178 | ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch``. | |
| 5179 | ||
| 5180 | - ``model_url`` URL generation is now performed via an adapter lookup | |
| 5181 | based on the context and the request. | |
| 5182 | ||
| 5183 | - ZCML which registers two adapters for the ``IContextURL`` interface | |
| 5184 | has been added to the configure.zcml in ``repoze.bfg.includes``. | |
| 5185 | ||
| 5186 | 0.6.6 (2009-01-26) | |
| 5187 | ================== | |
| 5188 | ||
| 5189 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5190 | ---------------------- | |
| 5191 | ||
| 5192 | - There is an indirection in ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` now that | |
| 5193 | consults a utility to generate the base model url (without extra | |
| 5194 | elements or a query string). Eventually this will service virtual | |
| 5195 | hosting; for now it's undocumented and should not be hooked. | |
| 5196 | ||
| 5197 | 0.6.5 (2009-01-26) | |
| 5198 | ================== | |
| 5199 | ||
| 5200 | Features | |
| 5201 | -------- | |
| 5202 | ||
| 5203 | - You can now override the NotFound and Unauthorized responses that | |
| 5204 | ``repoze.bfg`` generates when a view cannot be found or cannot be | |
| 5205 | invoked due to lack of permission. See the "ZCML Hooks" chapter in | |
| 5206 | the docs for more information. | |
| 5207 | ||
| 5208 | - Added Routes ZCML directive attribute explanations in documentation. | |
| 5209 | ||
| 5210 | - Added a ``traversal_path`` API to the traversal module; see the | |
| 5211 | "traversal" API chapter in the docs. This was a function previously | |
| 5212 | known as ``split_path`` that was not an API but people were using it | |
| 5213 | anyway. Unlike ``split_path``, it now returns a tuple instead of a | |
| 5214 | list (as its values are cached). | |
| 5215 | ||
| 5216 | Behavior Changes | |
| 5217 | ---------------- | |
| 5218 | ||
| 5219 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.render_view_to_response`` API will no longer | |
| 5220 | raise a ValueError if an object returned by a view function it calls | |
| 5221 | does not possess certain attributes (``headerlist``, ``app_iter``, | |
| 5222 | ``status``). This API used to attempt to perform a check using the | |
| 5223 | ``is_response`` function in ``repoze.bfg.view``, and raised a | |
| 5224 | ``ValueError`` if the ``is_response`` check failed. The | |
| 5225 | responsibility is now the caller's to ensure that the return value | |
| 5226 | from a view function is a "real" response. | |
| 5227 | ||
| 5228 | - WSGI environ dicts passed to ``repoze.bfg`` 's Router must now | |
| 5229 | contain a REQUEST_METHOD key/value; if they do not, a KeyError will | |
| 5230 | be raised (speed). | |
| 5231 | ||
| 5232 | - It is no longer permissible to pass a "nested" list of principals to | |
| 5233 | ``repoze.bfg.ACLAuthorizer.permits`` (e.g. ``['fred', ['larry', | |
| 5234 | 'bob']]``). The principals list must be fully expanded. This | |
| 5235 | feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a | |
| 5236 | backwards incompatibility. | |
| 5237 | ||
| 5238 | - It is no longer permissible for a security ACE to contain a "nested" | |
| 5239 | list of permissions (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', ['view', | |
| 5240 | ['write', 'manage']]])`)`. The list must instead be fully expanded | |
| 5241 | (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', 'view', 'write', 'manage])``). This | |
| 5242 | feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a | |
| 5243 | backwards incompatibility. | |
| 5244 | ||
| 5245 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesRootFactory`` now injects the | |
| 5246 | ``wsgiorg.routing_args`` environment variable into the environ when | |
| 5247 | a route matches. This is a tuple of ((), routing_args) where | |
| 5248 | routing_args is the value that comes back from the routes mapper | |
| 5249 | match (the "match dict"). | |
| 5250 | ||
| 5251 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser`` class now wants to | |
| 5252 | obtain the ``view_name`` and ``subpath`` from the | |
| 5253 | ``wsgiorgs.routing_args`` environment variable. It falls back to | |
| 5254 | obtaining these from the context for backwards compatibility. | |
| 5255 | ||
| 5256 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5257 | ---------------------- | |
| 5258 | ||
| 5259 | - Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAuthorizer``: the | |
| 5260 | ``ACLSecurityPolicy`` now does what it did inline. | |
| 5261 | ||
| 5262 | - Get rid of ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.NoAuthorizationInformation`` | |
| 5263 | exception: it was used only by ``ACLAuthorizer``. | |
| 5264 | ||
| 5265 | - Use a homegrown NotFound error instead of ``webob.exc.HTTPNotFound`` | |
| 5266 | (the latter is slow). | |
| 5267 | ||
| 5268 | - Use a homegrown Unauthorized error instead of | |
| 5269 | ``webob.exc.Unauthorized`` (the latter is slow). | |
| 5270 | ||
| 5271 | - the ``repoze.bfg.lru.lru_cached`` decorator now uses functools.wraps | |
| 5272 | in order to make documentation of LRU-cached functions possible. | |
| 5273 | ||
| 5274 | - Various speed micro-tweaks. | |
| 5275 | ||
| 5276 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5277 | --------- | |
| 5278 | ||
| 5279 | - ``repoze.bfg.testing.DummyModel`` did not have a ``get`` method; | |
| 5280 | it now does. | |
| 5281 | ||
| 5282 | 0.6.4 (2009-01-23) | |
| 5283 | ================== | |
| 5284 | ||
| 5285 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5286 | --------------------------- | |
| 5287 | ||
| 5288 | - The ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration variable and the | |
| 5289 | ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variable have been | |
| 5290 | removed. Path segments are now always passed to model | |
| 5291 | ``__getitem__`` methods as unicode. "True" has been the default for | |
| 5292 | this setting since 0.5.4, but changing this configuration setting to | |
| 5293 | false allowed you to go back to passing raw path element strings to | |
| 5294 | model ``__getitem__`` methods. Removal of this knob services a | |
| 5295 | speed goal (we get about +80 req/s by removing the check), and it's | |
| 5296 | clearer just to always expect unicode path segments in model | |
| 5297 | ``__getitem__`` methods. | |
| 5298 | ||
| 5299 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5300 | ---------------------- | |
| 5301 | ||
| 5302 | - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.split_path`` now also handles decoding | |
| 5303 | path segments to unicode (for speed, because its results are | |
| 5304 | cached). | |
| 5305 | ||
| 5306 | - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.step`` was made a method of the | |
| 5307 | ModelGraphTraverser. | |
| 5308 | ||
| 5309 | - Use "precooked" Request subclasses | |
| 5310 | (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.request.GETRequest``) that correspond to HTTP | |
| 5311 | request methods within ``router.py`` when constructing a request | |
| 5312 | object rather than using ``alsoProvides`` to attach the proper | |
| 5313 | interface to an unsubclassed ``webob.Request``. This pattern is | |
| 5314 | purely an optimization (e.g. preventing calls to ``alsoProvides`` | |
| 5315 | means the difference between 590 r/s and 690 r/s on a MacBook 2GHz). | |
| 5316 | ||
| 5317 | - Tease out an extra 4% performance boost by changing the Router; | |
| 5318 | instead of using imported ZCA APIs, use the same APIs directly | |
| 5319 | against the registry that is an attribute of the Router. | |
| 5320 | ||
| 5321 | - The registry used by BFG is now a subclass of | |
| 5322 | ``zope.component.registry.Components`` (defined as | |
| 5323 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.Registry``); it has a ``notify`` method, a | |
| 5324 | ``registerSubscriptionAdapter`` and a ``registerHandler`` method. | |
| 5325 | If no subscribers are registered via ``registerHandler`` or | |
| 5326 | ``registerSubscriptionAdapter``, ``notify`` is a noop for speed. | |
| 5327 | ||
| 5328 | - The Allowed and Denied classes in ``repoze.bfg.security`` now are | |
| 5329 | lazier about constructing the representation of a reason message for | |
| 5330 | speed; ``repoze.bfg.view_execution_permitted`` takes advantage of | |
| 5331 | this. | |
| 5332 | ||
| 5333 | - The ``is_response`` check was sped up by about half at the expense | |
| 5334 | of making its code slightly uglier. | |
| 5335 | ||
| 5336 | New Modules | |
| 5337 | ----------- | |
| 5338 | ||
| 5339 | - ``repoze.bfg.lru`` implements an LRU cache class and a decorator for | |
| 5340 | internal use. | |
| 5341 | ||
| 5342 | 0.6.3 (2009-01-19) | |
| 5343 | ================== | |
| 5344 | ||
| 5345 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5346 | --------- | |
| 5347 | ||
| 5348 | - Readd ``root_policy`` attribute on Router object (as a property | |
| 5349 | which returns the IRootFactory utility). It was inadvertently | |
| 5350 | removed in 0.6.2. Code in the wild depended upon its presence | |
| 5351 | (esp. scripts and "debug" helpers). | |
| 5352 | ||
| 5353 | Features | |
| 5354 | -------- | |
| 5355 | ||
| 5356 | - URL-dispatch has been overhauled: it is no longer necessary to | |
| 5357 | manually create a RoutesMapper in your application's entry point | |
| 5358 | callable in order to use URL-dispatch (aka `Routes | |
| 5359 | <http://routes.groovie.org>`_). A new ``route`` directive has been | |
| 5360 | added to the available list of ZCML directives. Each ``route`` | |
| 5361 | directive inserted into your application's ``configure.zcml`` | |
| 5362 | establishes a Routes mapper connection. If any ``route`` | |
| 5363 | declarations are made via ZCML within a particular application, the | |
| 5364 | ``get_root`` callable passed in to ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` | |
| 5365 | will automatically be wrapped in the equivalent of a RoutesMapper. | |
| 5366 | Additionally, the new ``route`` directive allows the specification | |
| 5367 | of a ``context_interfaces`` attribute for a route, this will be used | |
| 5368 | to tag the manufactured routes context with specific interfaces when | |
| 5369 | a route specifying a ``context_interfaces`` attribute is matched. | |
| 5370 | ||
| 5371 | - A new interface ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IContextNotFound`` was | |
| 5372 | added. This interface is attached to a "dummy" context generated | |
| 5373 | when Routes cannot find a match and there is no "fallback" get_root | |
| 5374 | callable that uses traversal. | |
| 5375 | ||
| 5376 | - The ``bfg_starter`` and ``bfg_zodb`` "paster create" templates now | |
| 5377 | contain images and CSS which are displayed when the default page is | |
| 5378 | displayed after initial project generation. | |
| 5379 | ||
| 5380 | - Allow the ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper to be passed a relative | |
| 5381 | ``root_path`` name; it will be considered relative to the file in | |
| 5382 | which it was called. | |
| 5383 | ||
| 5384 | - The functionality of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` has been merged into | |
| 5385 | the core. Applications which make use of ``repoze.bfg.convention`` | |
| 5386 | will continue to work indefinitely, but it is recommended that apps | |
| 5387 | stop depending upon it. To do so, substitute imports of | |
| 5388 | ``repoze.bfg.convention.bfg_view`` with imports of | |
| 5389 | ``repoze.bfg.view.bfg_view``, and change the stanza in ZCML from | |
| 5390 | ``<convention package=".">`` to ``<scan package=".">``. As a result | |
| 5391 | of the merge, bfg has grown a new dependency: ``martian``. | |
| 5392 | ||
| 5393 | - View functions which use the pushpage decorator are now pickleable | |
| 5394 | (meaning their use won't prevent a ``configure.zcml.cache`` file | |
| 5395 | from being written to disk). | |
| 5396 | ||
| 5397 | - Instead of invariably using ``webob.Request`` as the "request | |
| 5398 | factory" (e.g. in the ``Router`` class) and ``webob.Response`` and | |
| 5399 | the "response factory" (e.g. in ``render_template_to_response``), | |
| 5400 | allow both to be overridden via a ZCML utility hook. See the "Using | |
| 5401 | ZCML Hooks" chapter of the documentation for more information. | |
| 5402 | ||
| 5403 | Deprecations | |
| 5404 | ------------ | |
| 5405 | ||
| 5406 | - The class ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesContext`` has been renamed | |
| 5407 | to ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.DefaultRoutesContext``. The class | |
| 5408 | should be imported by the new name as necessary (although in reality | |
| 5409 | it probably shouldn't be imported from anywhere except internally | |
| 5410 | within BFG, as it's not part of the API). | |
| 5411 | ||
| 5412 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5413 | ---------------------- | |
| 5414 | ||
| 5415 | - The ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.wsgiapp`` decorator now uses | |
| 5416 | ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on | |
| 5417 | homegrown WSGI code. | |
| 5418 | ||
| 5419 | - The ``repoze.bfg.view.static`` helper now uses | |
| 5420 | ``webob.Request.get_response`` to do its work rather than relying on | |
| 5421 | homegrown WSGI code. | |
| 5422 | ||
| 5423 | - The ``repoze.bfg.urldispatch.RoutesModelTraverser`` class has been | |
| 5424 | moved to ``repoze.bfg.traversal.RoutesModelTraverser``. | |
| 5425 | ||
| 5426 | - The ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry`` function was renamed to | |
| 5427 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.populateRegistry`` and now accepts a | |
| 5428 | ``registry`` argument (which should be an instance of | |
| 5429 | ``zope.component.registry.Components``). | |
| 5430 | ||
| 5431 | Documentation Additions | |
| 5432 | ----------------------- | |
| 5433 | ||
| 5434 | - Updated narrative urldispatch chapter with changes required by | |
| 5435 | ``<route..>`` ZCML directive. | |
| 5436 | ||
| 5437 | - Add a section on "Using BFG Security With URL Dispatch" into the | |
| 5438 | urldispatch chapter of the documentation. | |
| 5439 | ||
| 5440 | - Better documentation of security policy implementations that ship | |
| 5441 | with repoze.bfg. | |
| 5442 | ||
| 5443 | - Added a "Using ZPT Macros in repoze.bfg" section to the narrative | |
| 5444 | templating chapter. | |
| 5445 | ||
| 5446 | 0.6.2 (2009-01-13) | |
| 5447 | ================== | |
| 5448 | ||
| 5449 | Features | |
| 5450 | -------- | |
| 5451 | ||
| 5452 | - Tests can be run with coverage output if you've got ``nose`` | |
| 5453 | installed in the interpreter which you use to run tests. Using an | |
| 5454 | interpreter with ``nose`` installed, do ``python setup.py | |
| 5455 | nosetests`` within a checkout of the ``repoze.bfg`` package to see | |
| 5456 | test coverage output. | |
| 5457 | ||
| 5458 | - Added a ``post`` argument to the ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyRequest`` | |
| 5459 | constructor. | |
| 5460 | ||
| 5461 | - Added ``__len__`` and ``__nonzero__`` to ``repoze.bfg.testing:DummyModel``. | |
| 5462 | ||
| 5463 | - The ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` callable (now renamed to | |
| 5464 | ``repoze.bfg.setings.get_options``) used to return only | |
| 5465 | framework-specific keys and values in the dictionary it returned. | |
| 5466 | It now returns all the keys and values in the dictionary it is | |
| 5467 | passed *plus* any framework-specific settings culled from the | |
| 5468 | environment. As a side effect, all PasteDeploy application-specific | |
| 5469 | config file settings are made available as attributes of the | |
| 5470 | ``ISettings`` utility from within BFG. | |
| 5471 | ||
| 5472 | - Renamed the existing BFG paster template to ``bfg_starter``. Added | |
| 5473 | another template (``bfg_zodb``) showing default ZODB setup using | |
| 5474 | ``repoze.zodbconn``. | |
| 5475 | ||
| 5476 | - Add a method named ``assert_`` to the DummyTemplateRenderer. This | |
| 5477 | method accepts keyword arguments. Each key/value pair in the | |
| 5478 | keyword arguments causes an assertion to be made that the renderer | |
| 5479 | received this key with a value equal to the asserted value. | |
| 5480 | ||
| 5481 | - Projects generated by the paster templates now use the | |
| 5482 | ``DummyTemplateRenderer.assert_`` method in their view tests. | |
| 5483 | ||
| 5484 | - Make the (internal) thread local registry manager maintain a stack | |
| 5485 | of registries in order to make it possible to call one BFG | |
| 5486 | application from inside another. | |
| 5487 | ||
| 5488 | - An interface specific to the HTTP verb (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE/HEAD) is | |
| 5489 | attached to each request object on ingress. The HTTP-verb-related | |
| 5490 | interfaces are defined in ``repoze.bfg.interfaces`` and are | |
| 5491 | ``IGETRequest``, ``IPOSTRequest``, ``IPUTRequest``, | |
| 5492 | ``IDELETERequest`` and ``IHEADRequest``. These interfaces can be | |
| 5493 | specified as the ``request_type`` attribute of a bfg view | |
| 5494 | declaration. A view naming a specific HTTP-verb-matching interface | |
| 5495 | will be found only if the view is defined with a request_type that | |
| 5496 | matches the HTTP verb in the incoming request. The more general | |
| 5497 | ``IRequest`` interface can be used as the request_type to catch all | |
| 5498 | requests (and this is indeed the default). All requests implement | |
| 5499 | ``IRequest``. The HTTP-verb-matching idea was pioneered by | |
| 5500 | `repoze.bfg.restrequest | |
| 5501 | <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.bfg.restrequest/1.0.1>`_ . That | |
| 5502 | package is no longer required, but still functions fine. | |
| 5503 | ||
| 5504 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5505 | --------- | |
| 5506 | ||
| 5507 | - Fix a bug where the Paste configuration's ``unicode_path_segments`` | |
| 5508 | (and os.environ's ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS``) may have been | |
| 5509 | defaulting to false in some circumstances. It now always defaults | |
| 5510 | to true, matching the documentation and intent. | |
| 5511 | ||
| 5512 | - The ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` API did not work properly | |
| 5513 | when passed a ``path`` argument which was unicode and contained | |
| 5514 | high-order bytes when the ``unicode_path_segments`` or | |
| 5515 | ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS`` configuration variables were "true". | |
| 5516 | ||
| 5517 | - A new module was added: ``repoze.bfg.settings``. This contains | |
| 5518 | deployment-settings-related code. | |
| 5519 | ||
| 5520 | Implementation Changes | |
| 5521 | ---------------------- | |
| 5522 | ||
| 5523 | - The ``make_app`` callable within ``repoze.bfg.router`` now registers | |
| 5524 | the ``root_policy`` argument as a utility (unnamed, using the new | |
| 5525 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootFactory`` as a provides interface) | |
| 5526 | rather than passing it as the first argument to the | |
| 5527 | ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class. As a result, the | |
| 5528 | ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` router class only accepts a single | |
| 5529 | argument: ``registry``. The ``repoze.bfg.router.Router`` class | |
| 5530 | retrieves the root policy via a utility lookup now. The | |
| 5531 | ``repoze.bfg.router.make_app`` API also now performs some important | |
| 5532 | application registrations that were previously handled inside | |
| 5533 | ``repoze.bfg.registry.makeRegistry``. | |
| 5534 | ||
| 5535 | New Modules | |
| 5536 | ----------- | |
| 5537 | ||
| 5538 | - A ``repoze.bfg.settings`` module was added. It contains code | |
| 5539 | related to deployment settings. Most of the code it contains was | |
| 5540 | moved to it from the ``repoze.bfg.registry`` module. | |
| 5541 | ||
| 5542 | Behavior Changes | |
| 5543 | ---------------- | |
| 5544 | ||
| 5545 | - The ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings`` class (an instance of which is | |
| 5546 | registered as a utility providing | |
| 5547 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ISettings`` when any application is started) | |
| 5548 | now automatically calls ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options`` on the | |
| 5549 | options passed to its constructor. This means that usage of | |
| 5550 | ``get_options`` within an application's ``make_app`` function is no | |
| 5551 | longer required (the "raw" ``options`` dict or None may be passed). | |
| 5552 | ||
| 5553 | - Remove old cold which attempts to recover from trying to unpickle a | |
| 5554 | ``z3c.pt`` template; Chameleon has been the templating engine for a | |
| 5555 | good long time now. Running repoze.bfg against a sandbox that has | |
| 5556 | pickled ``z3c.pt`` templates it will now just fail with an | |
| 5557 | unpickling error, but can be fixed by deleting the template cache | |
| 5558 | files. | |
| 5559 | ||
| 5560 | Deprecations | |
| 5561 | ------------ | |
| 5562 | ||
| 5563 | - Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.Settings`` class. This has been | |
| 5564 | moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.Settings``. A deprecation warning is | |
| 5565 | issued when it is imported from the older location. | |
| 5566 | ||
| 5567 | - Moved the ``repoze.bfg.registry.get_options`` function This has been | |
| 5568 | moved to ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_options``. A deprecation warning | |
| 5569 | is issued when it is imported from the older location. | |
| 5570 | ||
| 5571 | - The ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.IRootPolicy`` interface was renamed | |
| 5572 | within the interfaces package. It has been renamed to | |
| 5573 | ``IRootFactory``. A deprecation warning is issued when it is | |
| 5574 | imported from the older location. | |
| 5575 | ||
| 5576 | 0.6.1 (2009-01-06) | |
| 5577 | ================== | |
| 5578 | ||
| 5579 | New Modules | |
| 5580 | ----------- | |
| 5581 | ||
| 5582 | - A new module ``repoze.bfg.url`` has been added. It contains the | |
| 5583 | ``model_url`` API (moved from ``repoze.bfg.traversal``) and an | |
| 5584 | implementation of ``urlencode`` (like Python's | |
| 5585 | ``urllib.urlencode``) which can handle Unicode keys and values in | |
| 5586 | parameters to the ``query`` argument. | |
| 5587 | ||
| 5588 | Deprecations | |
| 5589 | ------------ | |
| 5590 | ||
| 5591 | - The ``model_url`` function has been moved from | |
| 5592 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` into ``repoze.bfg.url``. It can still | |
| 5593 | be imported from ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` but an import from | |
| 5594 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal`` will emit a DeprecationWarning. | |
| 5595 | ||
| 5596 | Features | |
| 5597 | -------- | |
| 5598 | ||
| 5599 | - A ``static`` helper class was added to the ``repoze.bfg.views`` | |
| 5600 | module. Instances of this class are willing to act as BFG views | |
| 5601 | which return static resources using files on disk. See the | |
| 5602 | ``repoze.bfg.view`` docs for more info. | |
| 5603 | ||
| 5604 | - The ``repoze.bfg.url.model_url`` API (nee' | |
| 5605 | ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url``) now accepts and honors a | |
| 5606 | keyword argument named ``query``. The value of this argument | |
| 5607 | will be used to compose a query string, which will be attached to | |
| 5608 | the generated URL before it is returned. See the API docs (in | |
| 5609 | the docs directory or `on the web | |
| 5610 | <http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs>`_) for more information. | |
| 5611 | ||
| 5612 | 0.6 (2008-12-26) | |
| 5613 | ================ | |
| 5614 | ||
| 5615 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5616 | --------------------------- | |
| 5617 | ||
| 5618 | - Rather than prepare the "stock" implementations of the ZCML directives | |
| 5619 | from the ``zope.configuration`` package for use under ``repoze.bfg``, | |
| 5620 | ``repoze.bfg`` now makes available the implementations of directives | |
| 5621 | from the ``repoze.zcml`` package (see http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs). | |
| 5622 | As a result, the ``repoze.bfg`` package now depends on the | |
| 5623 | ``repoze.zcml`` package, and no longer depends directly on the | |
| 5624 | ``zope.component``, ``zope.configuration``, ``zope.interface``, or | |
| 5625 | ``zope.proxy`` packages. | |
| 5626 | ||
| 5627 | The primary reason for this change is to enable us to eventually reduce | |
| 5628 | the number of inappropriate ``repoze.bfg`` Zope package dependencies, | |
| 5629 | as well as to shed features of dependent package directives that don't | |
| 5630 | make sense for ``repoze.bfg``. | |
| 5631 | ||
| 5632 | Note that currently the set of requirements necessary to use bfg has not | |
| 5633 | changed. This is due to inappropriate Zope package requirements in | |
| 5634 | ``chameleon.zpt``, which will hopefully be remedied soon. NOTE: in | |
| 5635 | lemonade index a 1.0b8-repozezcml0 package exists which does away with | |
| 5636 | these requirements. | |
| 5637 | ||
| 5638 | - BFG applications written prior to this release which expect the "stock" | |
| 5639 | ``zope.component`` ZCML directive implementations (e.g. ``adapter``, | |
| 5640 | ``subscriber``, or ``utility``) to function now must either 1) include | |
| 5641 | the ``meta.zcml`` file from ``zope.component`` manually (e.g. ``<include | |
| 5642 | package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml">``) and include the | |
| 5643 | ``zope.security`` package as an ``install_requires`` dependency or 2) | |
| 5644 | change the ZCML in their applications to use the declarations from | |
| 5645 | `repoze.zcml <http://static.repoze.org/zcmldocs/>`_ instead of the stock | |
| 5646 | declarations. ``repoze.zcml`` only makes available the ``adapter``, | |
| 5647 | ``subscriber`` and ``utility`` directives. | |
| 5648 | ||
| 5649 | In short, if you've got an existing BFG application, after this | |
| 5650 | update, if your application won't start due to an import error for | |
| 5651 | "zope.security", the fastest way to get it working again is to add | |
| 5652 | ``zope.security`` to the "install_requires" of your BFG | |
| 5653 | application's ``setup.py``, then add the following ZCML anywhere | |
| 5654 | in your application's ``configure.zcml``:: | |
| 5655 | ||
| 5656 | <include package="zope.component" file="meta.zcml"> | |
| 5657 | ||
| 5658 | Then re-``setup.py develop`` or reinstall your application. | |
| 5659 | ||
| 5660 | - The ``http://namespaces.repoze.org/bfg`` XML namespace is now the default | |
| 5661 | XML namespace in ZCML for paster-generated applications. The docs have | |
| 5662 | been updated to reflect this. | |
| 5663 | ||
| 5664 | - The copies of BFG's ``meta.zcml`` and ``configure.zcml`` were removed | |
| 5665 | from the root of the ``repoze.bfg`` package. In 0.3.6, a new package | |
| 5666 | named ``repoze.bfg.includes`` was added, which contains the "correct" | |
| 5667 | copies of these ZCML files; the ones that were removed were for backwards | |
| 5668 | compatibility purposes. | |
| 5669 | ||
| 5670 | - The BFG ``view`` ZCML directive no longer calls | |
| 5671 | ``zope.component.interface.provideInterface`` for the ``for`` interface. | |
| 5672 | We don't support ``provideInterface`` in BFG because it mutates the | |
| 5673 | global registry. | |
| 5674 | ||
| 5675 | Other | |
| 5676 | ----- | |
| 5677 | ||
| 5678 | - The minimum requirement for ``chameleon.core`` is now 1.0b13. The | |
| 5679 | minimum requirement for ``chameleon.zpt`` is now 1.0b8. The minimum | |
| 5680 | requirement for ``chameleon.genshi`` is now 1.0b2. | |
| 5681 | ||
| 5682 | - Updated paster template "ez_setup.py" to one that requires setuptools | |
| 5683 | 0.6c9. | |
| 5684 | ||
| 5685 | - Turn ``view_execution_permitted`` from the ``repoze.bfg.view`` module | |
| 5686 | into a documented API. | |
| 5687 | ||
| 5688 | - Doc cleanups. | |
| 5689 | ||
| 5690 | - Documented how to create a view capable of serving static resources. | |
| 5691 | ||
| 5692 | 0.5.6 (2008-12-18) | |
| 5693 | ================== | |
| 5694 | ||
| 5695 | - Speed up ``traversal.model_url`` execution by using a custom url quoting | |
| 5696 | function instead of Python's ``urllib.quote``, by caching URL path | |
| 5697 | segment quoting and encoding results, by disusing Python's | |
| 5698 | ``urlparse.urljoin`` in favor of a simple string concatenation, and by | |
| 5699 | using ``ob.__class__ is unicode`` rather than ``isinstance(ob, unicode)`` | |
| 5700 | in one strategic place. | |
| 5701 | ||
| 5702 | 0.5.5 (2008-12-17) | |
| 5703 | ================== | |
| 5704 | ||
| 5705 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5706 | --------------------------- | |
| 5707 | ||
| 5708 | - In the past, during traversal, the ModelGraphTraverser (the default | |
| 5709 | traverser) always passed each URL path segment to any ``__getitem__`` | |
| 5710 | method of a model object as a byte string (a ``str`` object). Now, by | |
| 5711 | default the ModelGraphTraverser attempts to decode the path segment to | |
| 5712 | Unicode (a ``unicode`` object) using the UTF-8 encoding before passing it | |
| 5713 | to the ``__getitem__`` method of a model object. This makes it possible | |
| 5714 | for model objects to be dumber in ``__getitem__`` when trying to resolve | |
| 5715 | a subobject, as model objects themselves no longer need to try to divine | |
| 5716 | whether or not to try to decode the path segment passed by the | |
| 5717 | traverser. | |
| 5718 | ||
| 5719 | Note that since 0.5.4, URLs generated by repoze.bfg's ``model_url`` API | |
| 5720 | will contain UTF-8 encoded path segments as necessary, so any URL | |
| 5721 | generated by BFG itself will be decodeable by the traverser. If another | |
| 5722 | application generates URLs to a BFG application, to be resolved | |
| 5723 | successully, it should generate the URL with UTF-8 encoded path segments | |
| 5724 | to be successfully resolved. The decoder is not at all magical: if a | |
| 5725 | non-UTF-8-decodeable path segment (e.g. one encoded using UTF-16 or some | |
| 5726 | other insanity) is passed in the URL, BFG will raise a ``TypeError`` with | |
| 5727 | a message indicating it could not decode the path segment. | |
| 5728 | ||
| 5729 | To turn on the older behavior, where path segments were not decoded to | |
| 5730 | Unicode before being passed to model object ``__getitem__`` by the | |
| 5731 | traverser, and were passed as a raw byte string, set the | |
| 5732 | ``unicode_path_segments`` configuration setting to a false value in your | |
| 5733 | BFG application's section of the paste .ini file, for example:: | |
| 5734 | ||
| 5735 | unicode_path_segments = False | |
| 5736 | ||
| 5737 | Or start the application using the ``BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENT`` envvar | |
| 5738 | set to a false value:: | |
| 5739 | ||
| 5740 | BFG_UNICODE_PATH_SEGMENTS=0 | |
| 5741 | ||
| 5742 | 0.5.4 (2008-12-13) | |
| 5743 | ================== | |
| 5744 | ||
| 5745 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5746 | --------------------------- | |
| 5747 | ||
| 5748 | - URL-quote "extra" element names passed in as ``**elements`` to the | |
| 5749 | ``traversal.model_url`` API. If any of these names is a Unicode string, | |
| 5750 | encode it to UTF-8 before URL-quoting. This is a slight backwards | |
| 5751 | incompatibility that will impact you if you were already UTF-8 encoding | |
| 5752 | or URL-quoting the values you passed in as ``elements`` to this API. | |
| 5753 | ||
| 5754 | Bugfixes | |
| 5755 | -------- | |
| 5756 | ||
| 5757 | - UTF-8 encode each segment in the model path used to generate a URL before | |
| 5758 | url-quoting it within the ``traversal.model_url`` API. This is a bugfix, | |
| 5759 | as Unicode cannot always be successfully URL-quoted. | |
| 5760 | ||
| 5761 | Features | |
| 5762 | -------- | |
| 5763 | ||
| 5764 | - Make it possible to run unit tests using a buildout-generated Python | |
| 5765 | "interpreter". | |
| 5766 | ||
| 5767 | - Add ``request.root`` to ``router.Router`` in order to have easy access to | |
| 5768 | the application root. | |
| 5769 | ||
| 5770 | 0.5.3 (2008-12-07) | |
| 5771 | ================== | |
| 5772 | ||
| 5773 | - Remove the ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` interface. When | |
| 5774 | ``testing.registerDummyRenderer`` is used, it instead registers a dummy | |
| 5775 | implementation using ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface, which is checked | |
| 5776 | for when the built-in templating facilities do rendering. This change | |
| 5777 | also allows developers to make explcit named utility registrations in | |
| 5778 | the ZCML registry against ``ITemplateRenderer``; these will be found | |
| 5779 | before any on-disk template is looked up. | |
| 5780 | ||
| 5781 | 0.5.2 (2008-12-05) | |
| 5782 | ================== | |
| 5783 | ||
| 5784 | - The component registration handler for views (functions or class | |
| 5785 | instances) now observes component adaptation annotations (see | |
| 5786 | ``zope.component.adaptedBy``) and uses them before the fallback values | |
| 5787 | for ``for_`` and ``request_type``. This change does not affect existing | |
| 5788 | code insomuch as the code does not rely on these defaults when an | |
| 5789 | annotation is set on the view (unlikely). This means that for a | |
| 5790 | new-style class you can do ``zope.component.adapts(ISomeContext, | |
| 5791 | ISomeRequest)`` at class scope or at module scope as a decorator to a | |
| 5792 | bfg view function you can do ``@zope.component.adapter(ISomeContext, | |
| 5793 | ISomeRequest)``. This differs from r.bfg.convention inasmuch as you | |
| 5794 | still need to put something in ZCML for the registrations to get done; | |
| 5795 | it's only the defaults that will change if these declarations exist. | |
| 5796 | ||
| 5797 | - Strip all slashes from end and beginning of path in clean_path within | |
| 5798 | traversal machinery. | |
| 5799 | ||
| 5800 | 0.5.1 (2008-11-25) | |
| 5801 | ================== | |
| 5802 | ||
| 5803 | - Add ``keys``, ``items``, and ``values`` methods to | |
| 5804 | ``testing.DummyModel``. | |
| 5805 | ||
| 5806 | - Add __delitem__ method to ``testing.DummyModel``. | |
| 5807 | ||
| 5808 | 0.5.0 (2008-11-18) | |
| 5809 | ================== | |
| 5810 | ||
| 5811 | - Fix ModelGraphTraverser; don't try to change the ``__name__`` or | |
| 5812 | ``__parent__`` of an object that claims it implements ILocation during | |
| 5813 | traversal even if the ``__name__`` or ``__parent__`` of the object | |
| 5814 | traversed does not match the name used in the traversal step or the or | |
| 5815 | the traversal parent . Rationale: it was insane to do so. This bug was | |
| 5816 | only found due to a misconfiguration in an application that mistakenly | |
| 5817 | had intermediate persistent non-ILocation objects; traversal was causing | |
| 5818 | a persistent write on every request under this setup. | |
| 5819 | ||
| 5820 | - ``repoze.bfg.location.locate`` now unconditionally sets ``__name__`` and | |
| 5821 | ``__parent__`` on objects which provide ILocation (it previously only set | |
| 5822 | them conditionally if they didn't match attributes already present on the | |
| 5823 | object via equality). | |
| 5824 | ||
| 5825 | 0.4.9 (2008-11-17) | |
| 5826 | ================== | |
| 5827 | ||
| 5828 | - Add chameleon text template API (chameleon ${name} renderings where the | |
| 5829 | template does not need to be wrapped in any containing XML). | |
| 5830 | ||
| 5831 | - Change docs to explain install in terms of a virtualenv | |
| 5832 | (unconditionally). | |
| 5833 | ||
| 5834 | - Make pushpage decorator compatible with repoze.bfg.convention's | |
| 5835 | ``bfg_view`` decorator when they're stacked. | |
| 5836 | ||
| 5837 | - Add content_length attribute to testing.DummyRequest. | |
| 5838 | ||
| 5839 | - Change paster template ``tests.py`` to include a true unit test. Retain | |
| 5840 | old test as an integration test. Update documentation. | |
| 5841 | ||
| 5842 | - Document view registrations against classes and ``repoze.bfg.convention`` | |
| 5843 | in context. | |
| 5844 | ||
| 5845 | - Change the default paster template to register its single view against a | |
| 5846 | class rather than an interface. | |
| 5847 | ||
| 5848 | - Document adding a request type interface to the request via a subscriber | |
| 5849 | function in the events narrative documentation. | |
| 5850 | ||
| 5851 | 0.4.8 (2008-11-12) | |
| 5852 | ================== | |
| 5853 | ||
| 5854 | Backwards Incompatibilities | |
| 5855 | --------------------------- | |
| 5856 | ||
| 5857 | - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.model_url`` now always appends a slash to all | |
| 5858 | generated URLs unless further elements are passed in as the third and | |
| 5859 | following arguments. Rationale: views often use ``model_url`` without | |
| 5860 | the third-and-following arguments in order to generate a URL for a model | |
| 5861 | in order to point at the default view of a model. The URL that points to | |
| 5862 | the default view of the *root* model is technically ``http://mysite/`` as | |
| 5863 | opposed to ``http://mysite`` (browsers happen to ask for '/' implicitly | |
| 5864 | in the GET request). Because URLs are never automatically generated for | |
| 5865 | anything *except* models by ``model_url``, and because the root model is | |
| 5866 | not really special, we continue this pattern. The impact of this change | |
| 5867 | is minimal (at most you will have too many slashes in your URL, which BFG | |
| 5868 | deals with gracefully anyway). | |
| 5869 | ||
| 5870 | 0.4.7 (2008-11-11) | |
| 5871 | ================== | |
| 5872 | ||
| 5873 | Features | |
| 5874 | -------- | |
| 5875 | ||
| 5876 | - Allow ``testing.registerEventListener`` to be used with Zope 3 style | |
| 5877 | "object events" (subscribers accept more than a single event argument). | |
| 5878 | We extend the list with the arguments, rather than append. | |
| 5879 | ||
| 5880 | 0.4.6 (2008-11-10) | |
| 5881 | ================== | |
| 5882 | ||
| 5883 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5884 | --------- | |
| 5885 | ||
| 5886 | - The ``model_path`` and ``model_url`` traversal APIs returned the wrong | |
| 5887 | value for the root object (e.g. ``model_path`` returned ``''`` for the | |
| 5888 | root object, while it should have been returning ``'/'``). | |
| 5889 | ||
| 5890 | 0.4.5 (2008-11-09) | |
| 5891 | ================== | |
| 5892 | ||
| 5893 | Features | |
| 5894 | -------- | |
| 5895 | ||
| 5896 | - Added a ``clone`` method and a ``__contains__`` method to the DummyModel | |
| 5897 | testing object. | |
| 5898 | ||
| 5899 | - Allow DummyModel objects to receive extra keyword arguments, which will | |
| 5900 | be attached as attributes. | |
| 5901 | ||
| 5902 | - The DummyTemplateRenderer now returns ``self`` as its implementation. | |
| 5903 | ||
| 5904 | 0.4.4 (2008-11-08) | |
| 5905 | ================== | |
| 5906 | ||
| 5907 | Features | |
| 5908 | -------- | |
| 5909 | ||
| 5910 | - Added a ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module to attempt to make it slightly | |
| 5911 | easier to write unittest-based automated tests of BFG applications. | |
| 5912 | Information about this module is in the documentation. | |
| 5913 | ||
| 5914 | - The default template renderer now supports testing better by looking for | |
| 5915 | ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` using a relative pathname. This is exposed | |
| 5916 | indirectly through the API named ``registerTemplateRenderer`` in | |
| 5917 | ``repoze.bfg.testing``. | |
| 5918 | ||
| 5919 | Deprecations | |
| 5920 | ------------ | |
| 5921 | ||
| 5922 | - The names ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` , | |
| 5923 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` and | |
| 5924 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate`` have been deprecated. These | |
| 5925 | should now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` and | |
| 5926 | ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory``, and | |
| 5927 | ``INodeTemplateRenderer`` respectively. | |
| 5928 | ||
| 5929 | - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. | |
| 5930 | Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateRenderer``. | |
| 5931 | ||
| 5932 | - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateFactory`` is | |
| 5933 | deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateRenderer``. | |
| 5934 | ||
| 5935 | - The name ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use | |
| 5936 | ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateRenderer``. | |
| 5937 | ||
| 5938 | 0.4.3 (2008-11-02) | |
| 5939 | ================== | |
| 5940 | ||
| 5941 | Bug Fixes | |
| 5942 | --------- | |
| 5943 | ||
| 5944 | - Not passing the result of "get_options" as the second argument of | |
| 5945 | make_app could cause attribute errors when attempting to look up settings | |
| 5946 | against the ISettings object (internal). Fixed by giving the Settings | |
| 5947 | objects defaults for ``debug_authorization`` and ``debug_notfound``. | |
| 5948 | ||
| 5949 | - Return an instance of ``Allowed`` (rather than ``True``) from | |
| 5950 | ``has_permission`` when no security policy is in use. | |
| 5951 | ||
| 5952 | - Fix bug where default deny in authorization check would throw a TypeError | |
| 5953 | (use ``ACLDenied`` instead of ``Denied``). | |
| 5954 | ||
| 5955 | 0.4.2 (2008-11-02) | |
| 5956 | ================== | |
| 5957 | ||
| 5958 | Features | |
| 5959 | -------- | |
| 5960 | ||
| 5961 | - Expose a single ILogger named "repoze.bfg.debug" as a utility; this | |
| 5962 | logger is registered unconditionally and is used by the authorization | |
| 5963 | debug machinery. Applications may also make use of it as necessary | |
| 5964 | rather than inventing their own logger, for convenience. | |
| 5965 | ||
| 5966 | - The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` envvar and the ``debug_authorization`` | |
| 5967 | config file value now only imply debugging of view-invoked security | |
| 5968 | checks. Previously, information was printed for every call to | |
| 5969 | ``has_permission`` as well, which made output confusing. To debug | |
| 5970 | ``has_permission`` checks and other manual permission checks, use the | |
| 5971 | debugger and print statements in your own code. | |
| 5972 | ||
| 5973 | - Authorization debugging info is now only present in the HTTP response | |
| 5974 | body oif ``debug_authorization`` is true. | |
| 5975 | ||
| 5976 | - The format of authorization debug messages was improved. | |
| 5977 | ||
| 5978 | - A new ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` envvar was added and a symmetric | |
| 5979 | ``debug_notfound`` config file value was added. When either is true, and | |
| 5980 | a NotFound response is returned by the BFG router (because a view could | |
| 5981 | not be found), debugging information is printed to stderr. When this | |
| 5982 | value is set true, the body of HTTPNotFound responses will also contain | |
| 5983 | the same debugging information. | |
| 5984 | ||
| 5985 | - ``Allowed`` and ``Denied`` responses from the security machinery are now | |
| 5986 | specialized into two types: ACL types, and non-ACL types. The | |
| 5987 | ACL-related responses are instances of ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLAllowed`` | |
| 5988 | and ``repoze.bfg.security.ACLDenied``. The non-ACL-related responses are | |
| 5989 | ``repoze.bfg.security.Allowed`` and ``repoze.bfg.security.Denied``. The | |
| 5990 | allowed-type responses continue to evaluate equal to things that | |
| 5991 | themselves evaluate equal to the ``True`` boolean, while the denied-type | |
| 5992 | responses continue to evaluate equal to things that themselves evaluate | |
| 5993 | equal to the ``False`` boolean. The only difference between the two | |
| 5994 | types is the information attached to them for debugging purposes. | |
| 5995 | ||
| 5996 | - Added a new ``BFG_DEBUG_ALL`` envvar and a symmetric ``debug_all`` config | |
| 5997 | file value. When either is true, all other debug-related flags are set | |
| 5998 | true unconditionally (e.g. ``debug_notfound`` and | |
| 5999 | ``debug_authorization``). | |
| 6000 | ||
| 6001 | Documentation | |
| 6002 | ------------- | |
| 6003 | ||
| 6004 | - Added info about debug flag changes. | |
| 6005 | ||
| 6006 | - Added a section to the security chapter named "Debugging Imperative | |
| 6007 | Authorization Failures" (for e.g. ``has_permssion``). | |
| 6008 | ||
| 6009 | Bug Fixes | |
| 6010 | --------- | |
| 6011 | ||
| 6012 | - Change default paster template generator to use ``Paste#http`` server | |
| 6013 | rather than ``PasteScript#cherrpy`` server. The cherrypy server has a | |
| 6014 | security risk in it when ``REMOTE_USER`` is trusted by the downstream | |
| 6015 | application. | |
| 6016 | ||
| 6017 | 0.4.1 (2008-10-28) | |
| 6018 | ================== | |
| 6019 | ||
| 6020 | Bug Fixes | |
| 6021 | --------- | |
| 6022 | ||
| 6023 | - If the ``render_view_to_response`` function was called, if the view was | |
| 6024 | found and called, but it returned something that did not implement | |
| 6025 | IResponse, the error would pass by unflagged. This was noticed when I | |
| 6026 | created a view function that essentially returned None, but received a | |
| 6027 | NotFound error rather than a ValueError when the view was rendered. This | |
| 6028 | was fixed. | |
| 6029 | ||
| 6030 | 0.4.0 (2008-10-03) | |
| 6031 | ================== | |
| 6032 | ||
| 6033 | Docs | |
| 6034 | ---- | |
| 6035 | ||
| 6036 | - An "Environment and Configuration" chapter was added to the narrative | |
| 6037 | portion of the documentation. | |
| 6038 | ||
| 6039 | Features | |
| 6040 | -------- | |
| 6041 | ||
| 6042 | - Ensure bfg doesn't generate warnings when running under Python | |
| 6043 | 2.6. | |
| 6044 | ||
| 6045 | - The environment variable ``BFG_RELOAD_TEMPLATES`` is now available | |
| 6046 | (serves the same purpose as ``reload_templates`` in the config file). | |
| 6047 | ||
| 6048 | - A new configuration file option ``debug_authorization`` was added. | |
| 6049 | This turns on printing of security authorization debug statements | |
| 6050 | to ``sys.stderr``. The ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` environment | |
| 6051 | variable was also added; this performs the same duty. | |
| 6052 | ||
| 6053 | Bug Fixes | |
| 6054 | --------- | |
| 6055 | ||
| 6056 | - The environment variable ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` did not always work. | |
| 6057 | It has been renamed to ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION`` and fixed. | |
| 6058 | ||
| 6059 | Deprecations | |
| 6060 | ------------ | |
| 6061 | ||
| 6062 | - A deprecation warning is now issued when old API names from the | |
| 6063 | ``repoze.bfg.templates`` module are imported. | |
| 6064 | ||
| 6065 | Backwards incompatibilities | |
| 6066 | --------------------------- | |
| 6067 | ||
| 6068 | - The ``BFG_SECURITY_DEBUG`` environment variable was renamed to | |
| 6069 | ``BFG_DEBUG_AUTHORIZATION``. | |
| 6070 | ||
| 6071 | 0.3.9 (2008-08-27) | |
| 6072 | ================== | |
| 6073 | ||
| 6074 | Features | |
| 6075 | -------- | |
| 6076 | ||
| 6077 | - A ``repoze.bfg.location`` API module was added. | |
| 6078 | ||
| 6079 | Backwards incompatibilities | |
| 6080 | --------------------------- | |
| 6081 | ||
| 6082 | - Applications must now use the ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` | |
| 6083 | interface rather than ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` to | |
| 6084 | represent that a model object is "location-aware". We've removed | |
| 6085 | a dependency on ``zope.location`` for cleanliness purposes: as | |
| 6086 | new versions of zope libraries are released which have improved | |
| 6087 | dependency information, getting rid of our dependence on | |
| 6088 | ``zope.location`` will prevent a newly installed repoze.bfg | |
| 6089 | application from requiring the ``zope.security``, egg, which not | |
| 6090 | truly used at all in a "stock" repoze.bfg setup. These | |
| 6091 | dependencies are still required by the stack at this time; this | |
| 6092 | is purely a futureproofing move. | |
| 6093 | ||
| 6094 | The security and model documentation for previous versions of | |
| 6095 | ``repoze.bfg`` recommended using the | |
| 6096 | ``zope.location.interfaces.ILocation`` interface to represent | |
| 6097 | that a model object is "location-aware". This documentation has | |
| 6098 | been changed to reflect that this interface should now be | |
| 6099 | imported from ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ILocation`` instead. | |
| 6100 | ||
| 6101 | 0.3.8 (2008-08-26) | |
| 6102 | ================== | |
| 6103 | ||
| 6104 | Docs | |
| 6105 | ---- | |
| 6106 | ||
| 6107 | - Documented URL dispatch better in narrative form. | |
| 6108 | ||
| 6109 | Bug fixes | |
| 6110 | --------- | |
| 6111 | ||
| 6112 | - Routes URL dispatch did not have access to the WSGI environment, | |
| 6113 | so conditions such as method=GET did not work. | |
| 6114 | ||
| 6115 | Features | |
| 6116 | -------- | |
| 6117 | ||
| 6118 | - Add ``principals_allowed_by_permission`` API to security module. | |
| 6119 | ||
| 6120 | - Replace ``z3c.pt`` support with support for ``chameleon.zpt``. | |
| 6121 | Chameleon is the new name for the package that used to be named | |
| 6122 | ``z3c.pt``. NOTE: If you update a ``repoze.bfg`` SVN checkout | |
| 6123 | that you're using for development, you will need to run "setup.py | |
| 6124 | install" or "setup.py develop" again in order to obtain the | |
| 6125 | proper Chameleon packages. ``z3c.pt`` is no longer supported by | |
| 6126 | ``repoze.bfg``. All API functions that used to render ``z3c.pt`` | |
| 6127 | templates will work fine with the new packages, and your | |
| 6128 | templates should render almost identically. | |
| 6129 | ||
| 6130 | - Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt`` module. This module provides | |
| 6131 | Chameleon ZPT support. | |
| 6132 | ||
| 6133 | - Add a ``repoze.bfg.xslt`` module. This module provides XSLT | |
| 6134 | support. | |
| 6135 | ||
| 6136 | - Add a ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi`` module. This provides | |
| 6137 | direct Genshi support, which did not exist previously. | |
| 6138 | ||
| 6139 | Deprecations | |
| 6140 | ------------ | |
| 6141 | ||
| 6142 | - Importing API functions directly from ``repoze.bfg.template`` is | |
| 6143 | now deprecated. The ``get_template``, ``render_template``, | |
| 6144 | ``render_template_to_response`` functions should now be imported | |
| 6145 | from ``repoze.chameleon_zpt``. The ``render_transform``, and | |
| 6146 | ``render_transform_to_response`` functions should now be imported | |
| 6147 | from ``repoze.bfg.xslt``. The ``repoze.bfg.template`` module | |
| 6148 | will remain around "forever" to support backwards compatibility. | |
| 6149 | ||
| 6150 | 0.3.7 (2008-09-09) | |
| 6151 | ================== | |
| 6152 | ||
| 6153 | Features | |
| 6154 | -------- | |
| 6155 | ||
| 6156 | - Add compatibility with z3c.pt 1.0a7+ (z3c.pt became a namespace package). | |
| 6157 | ||
| 6158 | Bug fixes | |
| 6159 | --------- | |
| 6160 | ||
| 6161 | - ``repoze.bfg.traversal.find_model`` function did not function properly. | |
| 6162 | ||
| 6163 | 0.3.6 (2008-09-04) | |
| 6164 | ================== | |
| 6165 | ||
| 6166 | Features | |
| 6167 | -------- | |
| 6168 | ||
| 6169 | - Add startup process docs. | |
| 6170 | ||
| 6171 | - Allow configuration cache to be bypassed by actions which include special | |
| 6172 | "uncacheable" discriminators (for actions that have variable results). | |
| 6173 | ||
| 6174 | Bug Fixes | |
| 6175 | --------- | |
| 6176 | ||
| 6177 | - Move core repoze.bfg ZCML into a ``repoze.bfg.includes`` package so we | |
| 6178 | can use repoze.bfg better as a namespace package. Adjust the code | |
| 6179 | generator to use it. We've left around the ``configure.zcml`` in the | |
| 6180 | repoze.bfg package directly so as not to break older apps. | |
| 6181 | ||
| 6182 | - When a zcml application registry cache was unpickled, and it contained a | |
| 6183 | reference to an object that no longer existed (such as a view), bfg would | |
| 6184 | not start properly. | |
| 6185 | ||
| 6186 | 0.3.5 (2008-09-01) | |
| 6187 | ================== | |
| 6188 | ||
| 6189 | Features | |
| 6190 | -------- | |
| 6191 | ||
| 6192 | - Event notification is issued after application is created and configured | |
| 6193 | (``IWSGIApplicationCreatedEvent``). | |
| 6194 | ||
| 6195 | - New API module: ``repoze.bfg.view``. This module contains the functions | |
| 6196 | named ``render_view_to_response``, ``render_view_to_iterable``, | |
| 6197 | ``render_view`` and ``is_response``, which are documented in the API | |
| 6198 | docs. These features aid programmatic (non-server-driven) view | |
| 6199 | execution. | |
| 6200 | ||
| 6201 | 0.3.4 (2008-08-28) | |
| 6202 | ================== | |
| 6203 | ||
| 6204 | Backwards incompatibilities | |
| 6205 | --------------------------- | |
| 6206 | ||
| 6207 | - Make ``repoze.bfg`` a namespace package so we can allow folks to create | |
| 6208 | subpackages (e.g. ``repoze.bfg.otherthing``) within separate eggs. This | |
| 6209 | is a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to import | |
| 6210 | "make_app" and "get_options" from the ``repoze.bfg`` module directly. | |
| 6211 | This change will break all existing apps generated by the paster code | |
| 6212 | generator. Instead, you need to import these functions as | |
| 6213 | ``repoze.bfg.router:make_app`` and ``repoze.bfg.registry:get_options``, | |
| 6214 | respectively. Sorry folks, it has to be done now or never, and | |
| 6215 | definitely better now. | |
| 6216 | ||
| 6217 | Features | |
| 6218 | -------- | |
| 6219 | ||
| 6220 | - Add ``model_path`` API function to traversal module. | |
| 6221 | ||
| 6222 | Bugfixes | |
| 6223 | ||
| 6224 | - Normalize path returned by repoze.bfg.caller_path. | |
| 6225 | ||
| 6226 | 0.3.3 (2008-08-23) | |
| 6227 | ================== | |
| 6228 | ||
| 6229 | - Fix generated test.py module to use project name rather than package | |
| 6230 | name. | |
| 6231 | ||
| 6232 | 0.3.2 (2008-08-23) | |
| 6233 | ================== | |
| 6234 | ||
| 6235 | - Remove ``sampleapp`` sample application from bfg package itself. | |
| 6236 | ||
| 6237 | - Remove dependency on FormEncode (only needed by sampleapp). | |
| 6238 | ||
| 6239 | - Fix paster template generation so that case-sensitivity is preserved for | |
| 6240 | project vs. package name. | |
| 6241 | ||
| 6242 | - Depend on ``z3c.pt`` version 1.0a1 (which requires the ``[lxml]`` extra | |
| 6243 | currently). | |
| 6244 | ||
| 6245 | - Read and write a pickled ZCML actions list, stored as | |
| 6246 | ``configure.zcml.cache`` next to the applications's "normal" | |
| 6247 | configuration file. A given bfg app will usually start faster if it's | |
| 6248 | able to read the pickle data. It fails gracefully to reading the real | |
| 6249 | ZCML file if it cannot read the pickle. | |
| 6250 | ||
| 6251 | 0.3.1 (2008-08-20) | |
| 6252 | ================== | |
| 6253 | ||
| 6254 | - Generated application differences: ``make_app`` entry point renamed to | |
| 6255 | ``app`` in order to have a different name than the bfg function of the | |
| 6256 | same name, to prevent confusion. | |
| 6257 | ||
| 6258 | - Add "options" processing to bfg's ``make_app`` to support runtime | |
| 6259 | options. A new API function named ``get_options`` was added to the | |
| 6260 | registry module. This function is typically used in an application's | |
| 6261 | ``app`` entry point. The Paste config file section for the app can now | |
| 6262 | supply the ``reload_templates`` option, which, if true, will prevent the | |
| 6263 | need to restart the appserver in order for ``z3c.pt`` or XSLT template | |
| 6264 | changes to be detected. | |
| 6265 | ||
| 6266 | - Use only the module name in generated project's "test_suite" (run all | |
| 6267 | tests found in the package). | |
| 6268 | ||
| 6269 | - Default port for generated apps changed from 5432 to 6543 (Postgres | |
| 6270 | default port is 6543). | |
| 6271 | ||
| 6272 | 0.3.0 (2008-08-16) | |
| 6273 | ================== | |
| 6274 | ||
| 6275 | - Add ``get_template`` API to template module. | |
| 6276 | ||
| 6277 | 0.2.9 (2008-08-11) | |
| 6278 | ================== | |
| 6279 | ||
| 6280 | - 0.2.8 was "brown bag" release. It didn't work at all. Symptom: | |
| 6281 | ComponentLookupError when trying to render a page. | |
| 6282 | ||
| 6283 | 0.2.8 (2008-08-11) | |
| 6284 | ================== | |
| 6285 | ||
| 6286 | - Add ``find_model`` and ``find_root`` traversal APIs. In the process, | |
| 6287 | make ITraverser a uni-adapter (on context) rather than a multiadapter (on | |
| 6288 | context and request). | |
| 6289 | ||
| 6290 | 0.2.7 (2008-08-05) | |
| 6291 | ================== | |
| 6292 | ||
| 6293 | - Add a ``request_type`` attribute to the available attributes of a | |
| 6294 | ``bfg:view`` configure.zcml element. This attribute will have a value | |
| 6295 | which is a dotted Python path, pointing at an interface. If the request | |
| 6296 | object implements this interface when the view lookup is performed, the | |
| 6297 | appropriate view will be called. This is meant to allow for simple | |
| 6298 | "skinning" of sites based on request type. An event subscriber should | |
| 6299 | attach the interface to the request on ingress to support skins. | |
| 6300 | ||
| 6301 | - Remove "template only" views. These were just confusing and were never | |
| 6302 | documented. | |
| 6303 | ||
| 6304 | - Small url dispatch overhaul: the ``connect`` method of the | |
| 6305 | ``urldispatch.RoutesMapper`` object now accepts a keyword parameter named | |
| 6306 | ``context_factory``. If this parameter is supplied, it must be a | |
| 6307 | callable which returns an instance. This instance is used as the context | |
| 6308 | for the request when a route is matched. | |
| 6309 | ||
| 6310 | - The registration of a RoutesModelTraverser no longer needs to be | |
| 6311 | performed by the application; it's in the bfg ZCML now. | |
| 6312 | ||
| 6313 | 0.2.6 (2008-07-31) | |
| 6314 | ================== | |
| 6315 | ||
| 6316 | - Add event sends for INewRequest and INewResponse. See the events.rst | |
| 6317 | chapter in the documentation's ``api`` directory. | |
| 6318 | ||
| 6319 | 0.2.5 (2008-07-28) | |
| 6320 | ================== | |
| 6321 | ||
| 6322 | - Add ``model_url`` API. | |
| 6323 | ||
| 6324 | 0.2.4 (2008-07-27) | |
| 6325 | ================== | |
| 6326 | ||
| 6327 | - Added url-based dispatch. | |
| 6328 | ||
| 6329 | 0.2.3 (2008-07-20) | |
| 6330 | ================== | |
| 6331 | ||
| 6332 | - Add API functions for authenticated_userid and effective_principals. | |
| 6333 | ||
| 6334 | 0.2.2 (2008-07-20) | |
| 6335 | ================== | |
| 6336 | ||
| 6337 | - Add authenticated_userid and effective_principals API to security | |
| 6338 | policy. | |
| 6339 | ||
| 6340 | 0.2.1 (2008-07-20) | |
| 6341 | ================== | |
| 6342 | ||
| 6343 | - Add find_interface API. | |
| 6344 | ||
| 6345 | 0.2 (2008-07-19) | |
| 6346 | ================ | |
| 6347 | ||
| 6348 | - Add wsgiapp decorator. | |
| 6349 | ||
| 6350 | - The concept of "view factories" was removed in favor of always calling a | |
| 6351 | view, which is a callable that returns a response directly (as opposed to | |
| 6352 | returning a view). As a result, the ``factory`` attribute in the | |
| 6353 | bfg:view ZCML statement has been renamed to ``view``. Various interface | |
| 6354 | names were changed also. | |
| 6355 | ||
| 6356 | - ``render_template`` and ``render_transform`` no longer return a Response | |
| 6357 | object. Instead, these return strings. The old behavior can be obtained | |
| 6358 | by using ``render_template_to_response`` and | |
| 6359 | ``render_transform_to_response``. | |
| 6360 | ||
| 6361 | - Added 'repoze.bfg.push:pushpage' decorator, which creates BFG views from | |
| 6362 | callables which take (context, request) and return a mapping of top-level | |
| 6363 | names. | |
| 6364 | ||
| 6365 | - Added ACL-based security. | |
| 6366 | ||
| 6367 | - Support for XSLT templates via a render_transform method | |
| 6368 | ||
| 6369 | 0.1 (2008-07-08) | |
| 6370 | ================ | |
| 6371 | ||
| 6372 | - Initial release. | |
| 6373 | ||
