- Deprecated all assignments to ``request.response_*`` attributes such as
``request.response_content_type = 'foo'``. Assignments and mutations of
the following request attributes that were considered by the framework for
response influence are now deprecated: ``response_content_type``,
``response_headerlist``, ``response_status``, ``response_charset``, and
``response_cache_for``. Instead of assigning these to the request object
for detection by the rendering machinery, users should use the appropriate
API of the Response object created by accessing ``request.response``
(e.g. ``request.response_content_type = 'abc'`` ->
``request.response.content_type = 'abc'``).
- Custom request objects are now required to have a ``response`` attribute
(or reified property) if they are meant to be used with renderers. This
``response`` attribute should be an instance of the class
``pyramid.response.Response``.
- The JSON and string renderer factories now use
``request.response.content_type`` rather than
``request.response_content_type``. They determine whether they should set
the content type of the response by comparing the response's content type
against the default (usually ``text/html``); if the content type is not the
default, the renderer changes the content type (to ``application/json`` or
``text/plain`` for JSON and string renderers respectively).
- Made it possible to assign to and delete
``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest.registry`` (bugfix).
