- The ``pyramid.request.Request.static_url`` API (and its brethren
  ``pyramid.request.Request.static_path``, ``pyramid.url.static_url``, and
  ``pyramid.url.static_path``) now accept an asbolute filename as a "path"
  argument.  This will generate a URL to an asset as long as the filename is
  in a directory which was previously registered as a static view.
  Previously, trying to generate a URL to an asset using an absolute file
  path would raise a ValueError.
