1.3 (2012-03-21) ================ Bug Fixes --------- - When ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` calls the downstream WSGI app, the app's environ will no longer have (deprecated and potentially misleading) ``bfg.routes.matchdict`` or ``bfg.routes.route`` keys in it. A symptom of this bug would be a ``wsgiapp2``-wrapped Pyramid app finding the wrong view because it mistakenly detects that a route was matched when, in fact, it was not. - The fix for issue https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/461 (which made it possible for instance methods to be used as view callables) introduced a backwards incompatibility when methods that declared only a request argument were used. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/503 1.3b3 (2012-03-17) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - ``config.add_view()`` raised AttributeError involving ``__text__``. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/461 - Remove references to do-nothing ``pyramid.debug_templates`` setting in all Pyramid-provided ``.ini`` files. This setting previously told Chameleon to render better exceptions; now Chameleon always renders nice exceptions regardless of the value of this setting. Scaffolds --------- - The ``alchemy`` scaffold now shows an informative error message in the browser if the person creating the project forgets to run the initialization script. - The ``alchemy`` scaffold initialization script is now called ``initialize__db`` instead of ``populate_``. Documentation ------------- - Wiki tutorials improved due to collaboration at PyCon US 2012 sprints. 1.3b2 (2012-03-02) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The method ``pyramid.request.Request.partial_application_url`` is no longer in the API docs. It was meant to be a private method; its publication in the documentation as an API method was a mistake, and it has been renamed to something private. - When a static view was registered using an absolute filesystem path on Windows, the ``request.static_url`` function did not work to generate URLs to its resources. Symptom: "No static URL definition matching c:\\foo\\bar\\baz". - Make all tests pass on Windows XP. - Bug in ACL authentication checking on Python 3: the ``permits`` and ``principals_allowed_by_permission`` method of ``pyramid.authorization.ACLAuthenticationPolicy`` could return an inappropriate ``True`` value when a permission on an ACL was a string rather than a sequence, and then only if the ACL permission string was a substring of the ``permission`` value passed to the function. This bug effects no Pyramid deployment under Python 2; it is a bug that exists only in deployments running on Python 3. It has existed since Pyramid 1.3a1. This bug was due to the presence of an ``__iter__`` attribute on strings under Python 3 which is not present under strings in Python 2. 1.3b1 (2012-02-26) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - ``pyramid.config.Configurator.with_package`` didn't work if the Configurator was an old-style ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` instance. - Pyramid authorization policies did not show up in the introspector. Deprecations ------------ - All references to the ``tmpl_context`` request variable were removed from the docs. Its existence in Pyramid is confusing for people who were never Pylons users. It was added as a porting convenience for Pylons users in Pyramid 1.0, but it never caught on because the Pyramid rendering system is a lot different than Pylons' was, and alternate ways exist to do what it was designed to offer in Pylons. It will continue to exist "forever" but it will not be recommended or mentioned in the docs. 1.3a9 (2012-02-22) ================== Features -------- - Add an ``introspection`` boolean to the Configurator constructor. If this is ``True``, actions registered using the Configurator will be registered with the introspector. If it is ``False``, they won't. The default is ``True``. Setting it to ``False`` during action processing will prevent introspection for any following registration statements, and setting it to ``True`` will start them up again. This addition is to service a requirement that the debug toolbar's own views and methods not show up in the introspector. - New API: ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_notfound_view``. This is a wrapper for ``pyramid.Config.configurator.add_view`` which provides easy append_slash support and does the right thing about permissions. It should be preferred over calling ``add_view`` directly with ``context=HTTPNotFound`` as was previously recommended. - New API: ``pyramid.view.notfound_view_config``. This is a decorator constructor like ``pyramid.view.view_config`` that calls ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_notfound_view`` when scanned. It should be preferred over using ``pyramid.view.view_config`` with ``context=HTTPNotFound`` as was previously recommended. - New API: ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_forbidden_view``. This is a wrapper for ``pyramid.Config.configurator.add_view`` which does the right thing about permissions. It should be preferred over calling ``add_view`` directly with ``context=HTTPForbidden`` as was previously recommended. - New API: ``pyramid.view.forbidden_view_config``. This is a decorator constructor like ``pyramid.view.view_config`` that calls ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_forbidden_view`` when scanned. It should be preferred over using ``pyramid.view.view_config`` with ``context=HTTPForbidden`` as was previously recommended. - New APIs: ``pyramid.response.FileResponse`` and ``pyramid.response.FileIter``, for usage in views that must serve files "manually". Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Remove ``pyramid.config.Configurator.with_context`` class method. It was never an API, it is only used by ``pyramid_zcml`` and its functionality has been moved to that package's latest release. This means that you'll need to use the 0.9.2 or later release of ``pyramid_zcml`` with this release of Pyramid. - The ``introspector`` argument to the ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` constructor API has been removed. It has been replaced by the boolean ``introspection`` flag. - The ``pyramid.registry.noop_introspector`` API object has been removed. - The older deprecated ``set_notfound_view`` Configurator method is now an alias for the new ``add_notfound_view`` Configurator method. Likewise, the older deprecated ``set_forbidden_view`` is now an alias for the new ``add_forbidden_view``. This has the following impact: the ``context`` sent to views with a ``(context, request)`` call signature registered via the ``set_notfound_view`` or ``set_forbidden_view`` will now be an exception object instead of the actual resource context found. Use ``request.context`` to get the actual resource context. It's also recommended to disuse ``set_notfound_view`` in favor of ``add_notfound_view``, and disuse ``set_forbidden_view`` in favor of ``add_forbidden_view`` despite the aliasing. Deprecations ------------ - The API documentation for ``pyramid.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` and ``pyramid.view.AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory`` was removed. These names still exist and are still importable, but they are no longer APIs. Use ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_notfound_view(append_slash=True)`` or ``pyramid.view.notfound_view_config(append_slash=True)`` to get the same behavior. - The ``set_forbidden_view`` and ``set_notfound_view`` methods of the Configurator were removed from the documentation. They have been deprecated since Pyramid 1.1. Bug Fixes --------- - The static file response object used by ``config.add_static_view`` opened the static file twice, when it only needed to open it once. - The AppendSlashNotFoundViewFactory used request.path to match routes. This was wrong because request.path contains the script name, and this would cause it to fail in circumstances where the script name was not empty. It should have used request.path_info, and now does. Documentation ------------- - Updated the "Creating a Not Found View" section of the "Hooks" chapter, replacing explanations of registering a view using ``add_view`` or ``view_config`` with ones using ``add_notfound_view`` or ``notfound_view_config``. - Updated the "Creating a Not Forbidden View" section of the "Hooks" chapter, replacing explanations of registering a view using ``add_view`` or ``view_config`` with ones using ``add_forbidden_view`` or ``forbidden_view_config``. - Updated the "Redirecting to Slash-Appended Routes" section of the "URL Dispatch" chapter, replacing explanations of registering a view using ``add_view`` or ``view_config`` with ones using ``add_notfound_view`` or ``notfound_view_config`` - Updated all tutorials to use ``pyramid.view.forbidden_view_config`` rather than ``pyramid.view.view_config`` with an HTTPForbidden context. 1.3a8 (2012-02-19) ================== Features -------- - The ``scan`` method of a ``Configurator`` can be passed an ``ignore`` argument, which can be a string, a callable, or a list consisting of strings and/or callables. This feature allows submodules, subpackages, and global objects from being scanned. See http://readthedocs.org/docs/venusian/en/latest/#ignore-scan-argument for more information about how to use the ``ignore`` argument to ``scan``. - Better error messages when a view callable returns a value that cannot be converted to a response (for example, when a view callable returns a dictionary without a renderer defined, or doesn't return any value at all). The error message now contains information about the view callable itself as well as the result of calling it. - Better error message when a .pyc-only module is ``config.include`` -ed. This is not permitted due to error reporting requirements, and a better error message is shown when it is attempted. Previously it would fail with something like "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'". - Add ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_traverser`` API method. See the Hooks narrative documentation section entitled "Changing the Traverser" for more information. This is not a new feature, it just provides an API for adding a traverser without needing to use the ZCA API. - Add ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_resource_url_adapter`` API method. See the Hooks narrative documentation section entitled "Changing How pyramid.request.Request.resource_url Generates a URL" for more information. This is not a new feature, it just provides an API for adding a resource url adapter without needing to use the ZCA API. - The system value ``req`` is now supplied to renderers as an alias for ``request``. This means that you can now, for example, in a template, do ``req.route_url(...)`` instead of ``request.route_url(...)``. This is purely a change to reduce the amount of typing required to use request methods and attributes from within templates. The value ``request`` is still available too, this is just an alternative. - A new interface was added: ``pyramid.interfaces.IResourceURL``. An adapter implementing its interface can be used to override resource URL generation when ``request.resource_url`` is called. This interface replaces the now-deprecated ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` interface. - The dictionary passed to a resource's ``__resource_url__`` method (see "Overriding Resource URL Generation" in the "Resources" chapter) now contains an ``app_url`` key, representing the application URL generated during ``request.resource_url``. It represents a potentially customized URL prefix, containing potentially custom scheme, host and port information passed by the user to ``request.resource_url``. It should be used instead of ``request.application_url`` where necessary. - The ``request.resource_url`` API now accepts these arguments: ``app_url``, ``scheme``, ``host``, and ``port``. The app_url argument can be used to replace the URL prefix wholesale during url generation. The ``scheme``, ``host``, and ``port`` arguments can be used to replace the respective default values of ``request.application_url`` partially. - A new API named ``request.resource_path`` now exists. It works like ``request.resource_url`` but produces a relative URL rather than an absolute one. - The ``request.route_url`` API now accepts these arguments: ``_app_url``, ``_scheme``, ``_host``, and ``_port``. The ``_app_url`` argument can be used to replace the URL prefix wholesale during url generation. The ``_scheme``, ``_host``, and ``_port`` arguments can be used to replace the respective default values of ``request.application_url`` partially. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` interface has been deprecated. People have been instructed to use this to register a resource url adapter in the "Hooks" chapter to use to influence ``request.resource_url`` URL generation for resources found via custom traversers since Pyramid 1.0. The interface still exists and registering such an adapter still works, but this interface will be removed from the software after a few major Pyramid releases. You should replace it with an equivalent ``pyramid.interfaces.IResourceURL`` adapter, registered using the new ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_resource_url_adapter`` API. A deprecation warning is now emitted when a ``pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL`` adapter is found when ``request.resource_url`` is called. Documentation ------------- - Don't create a ``session`` instance in SQLA Wiki tutorial, use raw ``DBSession`` instead (this is more common in real SQLA apps). Scaffolding ----------- - Put ``pyramid.includes`` targets within ini files in scaffolds on separate lines in order to be able to tell people to comment out only the ``pyramid_debugtoolbar`` line when they want to disable the toolbar. Dependencies ------------ - Depend on ``venusian`` >= 1.0a3 to provide scan ``ignore`` support. Internal -------- - Create a "MakoRendererFactoryHelper" that provides customizable settings key prefixes. Allows settings prefixes other than "mako." to be used to create different factories that don't use the global mako settings. This will be useful for the debug toolbar, which can currently be sabotaged by someone using custom mako configuration settings. 1.3a7 (2012-02-07) ================== Features -------- - More informative error message when a ``config.include`` cannot find an ``includeme``. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/392. - Internal: catch unhashable discriminators early (raise an error instead of allowing them to find their way into resolveConflicts). - The `match_param` view predicate now accepts a string or a tuple. This replaces the broken behavior of accepting a dict. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/425 for more information. Bug Fixes --------- - The process will now restart when ``pserve`` is used with the ``--reload`` flag when the ``development.ini`` file (or any other .ini file in use) is changed. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/377 and https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/411 - The ``prequest`` script would fail when used against URLs which did not return HTML or text. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/381 Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The `match_param` view predicate no longer accepts a dict. This will have no negative affect because the implementation was broken for dict-based arguments. Documentation ------------- - Add a traversal hello world example to the narrative docs. 1.3a6 (2012-01-20) ================== Features -------- - New API: ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_property``. Add lazy property descriptors to a request without changing the request factory. This method provides conflict detection and is the suggested way to add properties to a request. - Responses generated by Pyramid's ``static_view`` now use a ``wsgi.file_wrapper`` (see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/#optional-platform-specific-file-handling) when one is provided by the web server. Bug Fixes --------- - Views registered with an ``accept`` could not be overridden correctly with a different view that had the same predicate arguments. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/404 for more information. - When using a dotted name for a ``view`` argument to ``Configurator.add_view`` that pointed to a class with a ``view_defaults`` decorator, the view defaults would not be applied. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/396 . - Static URL paths were URL-quoted twice. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/407 . 1.3a5 (2012-01-09) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The ``pyramid.view.view_defaults`` decorator did not work properly when more than one view relied on the defaults being different for configuration conflict resolution. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/394. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``path_info`` route and view predicates now match against ``request.upath_info`` (Unicode) rather than ``request.path_info`` (indeterminate value based on Python 3 vs. Python 2). This has to be done to normalize matching on Python 2 and Python 3. 1.3a4 (2012-01-05) ================== Features -------- - New API: ``pyramid.request.Request.set_property``. Add lazy property descriptors to a request without changing the request factory. New properties may be reified, effectively caching the value for the lifetime of the instance. Common use-cases for this would be to get a database connection for the request or identify the current user. - Use the ``waitress`` WSGI server instead of ``wsgiref`` in scaffolding. Bug Fixes --------- - The documentation of ``pyramid.events.subscriber`` indicated that using it as a decorator with no arguments like this:: @subscriber() def somefunc(event): pass Would register ``somefunc`` to receive all events sent via the registry, but this was untrue. Instead, it would receive no events at all. This has now been fixed and the code matches the documentation. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/386 - Literal portions of route patterns were not URL-quoted when ``route_url`` or ``route_path`` was used to generate a URL or path. - The result of ``route_path`` or ``route_url`` might have been ``unicode`` or ``str`` depending on the input. It is now guaranteed to always be ``str``. - URL matching when the pattern contained non-ASCII characters in literal parts was indeterminate. Now the pattern supplied to ``add_route`` is assumed to be either: a ``unicode`` value, or a ``str`` value that contains only ASCII characters. If you now want to match the path info from a URL that contains high order characters, you can pass the Unicode representation of the decoded path portion in the pattern. - When using a ``traverse=`` route predicate, traversal would fail with a URLDecodeError if there were any high-order characters in the traversal pattern or in the matched dynamic segments. - Using a dynamic segment named ``traverse`` in a route pattern like this:: config.add_route('trav_route', 'traversal/{traverse:.*}') Would cause a ``UnicodeDecodeError`` when the route was matched and the matched portion of the URL contained any high-order characters. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/385 . - When using a ``*traverse`` stararg in a route pattern, a URL that matched that possessed a ``@@`` in its name (signifying a view name) would be inappropriately quoted by the traversal machinery during traversal, resulting in the view not being found properly. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/382 and https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/375 . Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - String values passed to ``route_url`` or ``route_path`` that are meant to replace "remainder" matches will now be URL-quoted except for embedded slashes. For example:: config.add_route('remain', '/foo*remainder') request.route_path('remain', remainder='abc / def') # -> '/foo/abc%20/%20def' Previously string values passed as remainder replacements were tacked on untouched, without any URL-quoting. But this doesn't really work logically if the value passed is Unicode (raw unicode cannot be placed in a URL or in a path) and it is inconsistent with the rest of the URL generation machinery if the value is a string (it won't be quoted unless by the caller). Some folks will have been relying on the older behavior to tack on query string elements and anchor portions of the URL; sorry, you'll need to change your code to use the ``_query`` and/or ``_anchor`` arguments to ``route_path`` or ``route_url`` to do this now. - If you pass a bytestring that contains non-ASCII characters to ``add_route`` as a pattern, it will now fail at startup time. Use Unicode instead. 1.3a3 (2011-12-21) ================== Features -------- - Added a ``prequest`` script (along the lines of ``paster request``). It is documented in the "Command-Line Pyramid" chapter in the section entitled "Invoking a Request". - Add undocumented ``__discriminator__`` API to derived view callables. e.g. ``adapters.lookup(...).__discriminator__(context, request)``. It will be used by superdynamic systems that require the discriminator to be used for introspection after manual view lookup. Bug Fixes --------- - Normalized exit values and ``-h`` output for all ``p*`` scripts (``pviews``, ``proutes``, etc). Documentation ------------- - Added a section named "Making Your Script into a Console Script" in the "Command-Line Pyramid" chapter. - Removed the "Running Pyramid on Google App Engine" tutorial from the main docs. It survives on in the Cookbook (http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_cookbook/en/latest/gae.html). Rationale: it provides the correct info for the Python 2.5 version of GAE only, and this version of Pyramid does not support Python 2.5. 1.3a2 (2011-12-14) ================== Features -------- - New API: ``pyramid.view.view_defaults``. If you use a class as a view, you can use the new ``view_defaults`` class decorator on the class to provide defaults to the view configuration information used by every ``@view_config`` decorator that decorates a method of that class. It also works against view configurations involving a class made imperatively. - Added a backwards compatibility knob to ``pcreate`` to emulate ``paster create`` handling for the ``--list-templates`` option. - Changed scaffolding machinery around a bit to make it easier for people who want to have extension scaffolds that can work across Pyramid 1.0.X, 1.1.X, 1.2.X and 1.3.X. See the new "Creating Pyramid Scaffolds" chapter in the narrative documentation for more info. Documentation ------------- - Added documentation to "View Configuration" narrative documentation chapter about ``view_defaults`` class decorator. - Added API docs for ``view_defaults`` class decorator. - Added an API docs chapter for ``pyramid.scaffolds``. - Added a narrative docs chapter named "Creating Pyramid Scaffolds". Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``template_renderer`` method of ``pyramid.scaffolds.PyramidScaffold`` was renamed to ``render_template``. If you were overriding it, you're a bad person, because it wasn't an API before now. But we're nice so we're letting you know. 1.3a1 (2011-12-09) ================== Features -------- - Python 3.2 compatibility. - New ``pyramid.compat`` module and API documentation which provides Python 2/3 straddling support for Pyramid add-ons and development environments. - A ``mako.directories`` setting is no longer required to use Mako templates Rationale: Mako template renderers can be specified using an absolute asset spec. An entire application can be written with such asset specs, requiring no ordered lookup path. - ``bpython`` interpreter compatibility in ``pshell``. See the "Command-Line Pyramid" narrative docs chapter for more information. - Added ``get_appsettings`` API function to the ``pyramid.paster`` module. This function returns the settings defined within an ``[app:...]`` section in a PasteDeploy ini file. - Added ``setup_logging`` API function to the ``pyramid.paster`` module. This function sets up Python logging according to the logging configuration in a PasteDeploy ini file. - Configuration conflict reporting is reported in a more understandable way ("Line 11 in file..." vs. a repr of a tuple of similar info). - A configuration introspection system was added; see the narrative documentation chapter entitled "Pyramid Configuration Introspection" for more information. New APIs: ``pyramid.registry.Introspectable``, ``pyramid.config.Configurator.introspector``, ``pyramid.config.Configurator.introspectable``, ``pyramid.registry.Registry.introspector``. - Allow extra keyword arguments to be passed to the ``pyramid.config.Configurator.action`` method. - New APIs: ``pyramid.path.AssetResolver`` and ``pyramid.path.DottedNameResolver``. The former can be used to resolve asset specifications, the latter can be used to resolve dotted names to modules or packages. Bug Fixes --------- - Make test suite pass on 32-bit systems; closes #286. closes #306. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/286 - The ``pryamid.view.view_config`` decorator did not accept a ``match_params`` predicate argument. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/308 - The AuthTktCookieHelper could potentially generate Unicode headers inappropriately when the ``tokens`` argument to remember was used. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/314. - The AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy did not use a timing-attack-aware string comparator. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/320 for more info. - The DummySession in ``pyramid.testing`` now generates a new CSRF token if one doesn't yet exist. - ``request.static_url`` now generates URL-quoted URLs when fed a ``path`` argument which contains characters that are unsuitable for URLs. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/349 for more info. - Prevent a scaffold rendering from being named ``site`` (conflicts with Python internal site.py). - Support for using instances as targets of the ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp`` and ``pryramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` functions. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/370 for more info. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Pyramid no longer runs on Python 2.5 (which includes the most recent release of Jython and the Python 2.5 version of GAE as of this writing). - The ``paster`` command is no longer the documented way to create projects, start the server, or run debugging commands. To create projects from scaffolds, ``paster create`` is replaced by the ``pcreate`` console script. To serve up a project, ``paster serve`` is replaced by the ``pserve`` console script. New console scripts named ``pshell``, ``pviews``, ``proutes``, and ``ptweens`` do what their ``paster `` equivalents used to do. Rationale: the Paste and PasteScript packages do not run under Python 3. - The default WSGI server run as the result of ``pserve`` from newly rendered scaffolding is now the ``wsgiref`` WSGI server instead of the ``paste.httpserver`` server. Rationale: Rationale: the Paste and PasteScript packages do not run under Python 3. - The ``pshell`` command (see "paster pshell") no longer accepts a ``--disable-ipython`` command-line argument. Instead, it accepts a ``-p`` or ``--python-shell`` argument, which can be any of the values ``python``, ``ipython`` or ``bpython``. - Removed the ``pyramid.renderers.renderer_from_name`` function. It has been deprecated since Pyramid 1.0, and was never an API. - To use ZCML with versions of Pyramid >= 1.3, you will need ``pyramid_zcml`` version >= 0.8 and ``zope.configuration`` version >= 3.8.0. The ``pyramid_zcml`` package version 0.8 is backwards compatible all the way to Pyramid 1.0, so you won't be warned if you have older versions installed and upgrade Pyramid "in-place"; it may simply break instead. Dependencies ------------ - Pyramid no longer depends on the ``zope.component`` package, except as a testing dependency. - Pyramid now depends on a zope.interface>=3.8.0, WebOb>=1.2dev, repoze.lru>=0.4, zope.deprecation>=3.5.0, translationstring>=0.4 (for Python 3 compatibility purposes). It also, as a testing dependency, depends on WebTest>=1.3.1 for the same reason. - Pyramid no longer depends on the Paste or PasteScript packages. Documentation ------------- - The SQLAlchemy Wiki tutorial has been updated. It now uses ``@view_config`` decorators and an explicit database population script. - Minor updates to the ZODB Wiki tutorial. - A narrative documentation chapter named "Extending Pyramid Configuration" was added; it describes how to add a new directive, and how use the ``pyramid.config.Configurator.action`` method within custom directives. It also describes how to add introspectable objects. - A narrative documentation chapter named "Pyramid Configuration Introspection" was added. It describes how to query the introspection system. Scaffolds --------- - Rendered scaffolds have now been changed to be more relocatable (fewer mentions of the package name within files in the package). - The ``routesalchemy`` scaffold has been renamed ``alchemy``, replacing the older (traversal-based) ``alchemy`` scaffold (which has been retired). - The ``starter`` scaffold now uses URL dispatch by default. 1.2 (2011-09-12) ================ Features -------- - Route pattern replacement marker names can now begin with an underscore. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/276. 1.2b3 (2011-09-11) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The route prefix was not taken into account when a static view was added in an "include". See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/266 . 1.2b2 (2011-09-08) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The 1.2b1 tarball was a brownbag (particularly for Windows users) because it contained filenames with stray quotation marks in inappropriate places. We depend on ``setuptools-git`` to produce release tarballs, and when it was run to produce the 1.2b1 tarball, it didn't yet cope well with files present in git repositories with high-order characters in their filenames. Documentation ------------- - Minor tweaks to the "Introduction" narrative chapter example app and wording. 1.2b1 (2011-09-08) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - Sometimes falling back from territory translations (``de_DE``) to language translations (``de``) would not work properly when using a localizer. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/263 - The static file serving machinery could not serve files that started with a ``.`` (dot) character. - Static files with high-order (super-ASCII) characters in their names could not be served by a static view. The static file serving machinery inappropriately URL-quoted path segments in filenames when asking for files from the filesystem. - Within ``pyramid.traversal.traversal_path`` , canonicalize URL segments from UTF-8 to Unicode before checking whether a segment matches literally one of ``.``, the empty string, or ``..`` in case there's some sneaky way someone might tunnel those strings via UTF-8 that don't match the literals before decoded. Documentation ------------- - Added a "What Makes Pyramid Unique" section to the Introduction narrative chapter. 1.2a6 (2011-09-06) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy with a ``reissue_time`` interfered with logout. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/262. Internal -------- - Internalize code previously depended upon as imports from the ``paste.auth`` module (futureproof). - Replaced use of ``paste.urlparser.StaticURLParser`` with a derivative of Chris Rossi's "happy" static file serving code (futureproof). - Fixed test suite; on some systems tests would fail due to indeterminate test run ordering and a double-push-single-pop of a shared test variable. Behavior Differences -------------------- - An ETag header is no longer set when serving a static file. A Last-Modified header is set instead. - Static file serving no longer supports the ``wsgi.file_wrapper`` extension. - Instead of returning a ``403 Forbidden`` error when a static file is served that cannot be accessed by the Pyramid process' user due to file permissions, an IOError (or similar) will be raised. Scaffolds --------- - All scaffolds now send the ``cache_max_age`` parameter to the ``add_static_view`` method. 1.2a5 (2011-09-04) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The ``route_prefix`` of a configurator was not properly taken into account when registering routes in certain circumstances. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/260 Dependencies ------------ - The ``zope.configuration`` package is no longer a dependency. 1.2a4 (2011-09-02) ================== Features -------- - Support an ``onerror`` keyword argument to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.scan()``. This onerror keyword argument is passed to ``venusian.Scanner.scan()`` to influence error behavior when an exception is raised during scanning. - The ``request_method`` predicate argument to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view`` and ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route`` is now permitted to be a tuple of HTTP method names. Previously it was restricted to being a string representing a single HTTP method name. - Undeprecated ``pyramid.traversal.find_model``, ``pyramid.traversal.model_path``, ``pyramid.traversal.model_path_tuple``, and ``pyramid.url.model_url``, which were all deprecated in Pyramid 1.0. There's just not much cost to keeping them around forever as aliases to their renamed ``resource_*`` prefixed functions. - Undeprecated ``pyramid.view.bfg_view``, which was deprecated in Pyramid 1.0. This is a low-cost alias to ``pyramid.view.view_config`` which we'll just keep around forever. Dependencies ------------ - Pyramid now requires Venusian 1.0a1 or better to support the ``onerror`` keyword argument to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.scan``. 1.2a3 (2011-08-29) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - Pyramid did not properly generate static URLs using ``pyramid.url.static_url`` when passed a caller-package relative path due to a refactoring done in 1.2a1. - The ``settings`` object emitted a deprecation warning any time ``__getattr__`` was called upon it. However, there are legitimate situations in which ``__getattr__`` is called on arbitrary objects (e.g. ``hasattr``). Now, the ``settings`` object only emits the warning upon successful lookup. Internal -------- - Use ``config.with_package`` in view_config decorator rather than manufacturing a new renderer helper (cleanup). 1.2a2 (2011-08-27) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - When a ``renderers=`` argument is not specified to the Configurator constructor, eagerly register and commit the default renderer set. This permits the overriding of the default renderers, which was broken in 1.2a1 without a commit directly after Configurator construction. - Mako rendering exceptions had the wrong value for an error message. - An include could not set a root factory successfully because the Configurator constructor unconditionally registered one that would be treated as if it were "the word of the user". Features -------- - A session factory can now be passed in using the dotted name syntax. 1.2a1 (2011-08-24) ================== Features -------- - The ``[pshell]`` section in an ini configuration file now treats a ``setup`` key as a dotted name that points to a callable that is passed the bootstrap environment. It can mutate the environment as necessary for great justice. - A new configuration setting named ``pyramid.includes`` is now available. It is described in the "Environment Variables and ``.ini`` Files Settings" narrative documentation chapter. - Added a ``route_prefix`` argument to the ``pyramid.config.Configurator.include`` method. This argument allows you to compose URL dispatch applications together. See the section entitled "Using a Route Prefix to Compose Applications" in the "URL Dispatch" narrative documentation chapter. - Added a ``pyramid.security.NO_PERMISSION_REQUIRED`` constant for use in ``permission=`` statements to view configuration. This constant has a value of the string ``__no_permission_required__``. This string value was previously referred to in documentation; now the documentation uses the constant. - Added a decorator-based way to configure a response adapter: ``pyramid.response.response_adapter``. This decorator has the same use as ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_response_adapter`` but it's declarative. - The ``pyramid.events.BeforeRender`` event now has an attribute named ``rendering_val``. This can be used to introspect the value returned by a view in a BeforeRender subscriber. - New configurator directive: ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_tween``. This directive adds a "tween". A "tween" is used to wrap the Pyramid router's primary request handling function. This is a feature may be used by Pyramid framework extensions, to provide, for example, view timing support and as a convenient place to hang bookkeeping code. Tweens are further described in the narrative docs section in the Hooks chapter, named "Registering Tweens". - New paster command ``paster ptweens``, which prints the current "tween" configuration for an application. See the section entitled "Displaying Tweens" in the Command-Line Pyramid chapter of the narrative documentation for more info. - The Pyramid debug logger now uses the standard logging configuration (usually set up by Paste as part of startup). This means that output from e.g. ``debug_notfound``, ``debug_authorization``, etc. will go to the normal logging channels. The logger name of the debug logger will be the package name of the *caller* of the Configurator's constructor. - A new attribute is available on request objects: ``exc_info``. Its value will be ``None`` until an exception is caught by the Pyramid router, after which it will be the result of ``sys.exc_info()``. - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now implements the ``add_finished_callback`` and ``add_response_callback`` methods. - New methods of the ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` class: ``set_authentication_policy`` and ``set_authorization_policy``. These are meant to be consumed mostly by add-on authors. - New Configurator method: ``set_root_factory``. - Pyramid no longer eagerly commits some default configuration statements at Configurator construction time, which permits values passed in as constructor arguments (e.g. ``authentication_policy`` and ``authorization_policy``) to override the same settings obtained via an "include". - Better Mako rendering exceptions via ``pyramid.mako_templating.MakoRenderingException`` - New request methods: ``current_route_url``, ``current_route_path``, and ``static_path``. - New functions in ``pyramid.url``: ``current_route_path`` and ``static_path``. - 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. - The ``RemoteUserAuthenticationPolicy ``, ``AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy``, and ``SessionAuthenticationPolicy`` constructors now accept an additional keyword argument named ``debug``. By default, this keyword argument is ``False``. When it is ``True``, debug information will be sent to the Pyramid debug logger (usually on stderr) when the ``authenticated_userid`` or ``effective_principals`` method is called on any of these policies. The output produced can be useful when trying to diagnose authentication-related problems. - New view predicate: ``match_param``. Example: a view added via ``config.add_view(aview, match_param='action=edit')`` will be called only when the ``request.matchdict`` has a value inside it named ``action`` with a value of ``edit``. Internal -------- - The Pyramid "exception view" machinery is now implemented as a "tween" (``pyramid.tweens.excview_tween_factory``). - WSGIHTTPException (HTTPFound, HTTPNotFound, etc) now has a new API named "prepare" which renders the body and content type when it is provided with a WSGI environ. Required for debug toolbar. - Once ``__call__`` or ``prepare`` is called on a WSGIHTTPException, the body will be set, and subsequent calls to ``__call__`` will always return the same body. Delete the body attribute to rerender the exception body. - Previously the ``pyramid.events.BeforeRender`` event *wrapped* a dictionary (it addressed it as its ``_system`` attribute). Now it *is* a dictionary (it inherits from ``dict``), and it's the value that is passed to templates as a top-level dictionary. - The ``route_url``, ``route_path``, ``resource_url``, ``static_url``, and ``current_route_url`` functions in the ``pyramid.url`` package now delegate to a method on the request they've been passed, instead of the other way around. The pyramid.request.Request object now inherits from a mixin named pyramid.url.URLMethodsMixin to make this possible, and all url/path generation logic is embedded in this mixin. - Refactor ``pyramid.config`` into a package. - Removed the ``_set_security_policies`` method of the Configurator. - Moved the ``StaticURLInfo`` class from ``pyramid.static`` to ``pyramid.config.views``. - Move the ``Settings`` class from ``pyramid.settings`` to ``pyramid.config.settings``. - Move the ``OverrideProvider``, ``PackageOverrides``, ``DirectoryOverride``, and ``FileOverride`` classes from ``pyramid.asset`` to ``pyramid.config.assets``. Deprecations ------------ - All Pyramid-related deployment settings (e.g. ``debug_all``, ``debug_notfound``) are now meant to be prefixed with the prefix ``pyramid.``. For example: ``debug_all`` -> ``pyramid.debug_all``. The old non-prefixed settings will continue to work indefinitely but supplying them may eventually print a deprecation warning. All scaffolds and tutorials have been changed to use prefixed settings. - The ``settings`` dictionary now raises a deprecation warning when you attempt to access its values via ``__getattr__`` instead of via ``__getitem__``. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - If a string is passed as the ``debug_logger`` parameter to a Configurator, that string is considered to be the name of a global Python logger rather than a dotted name to an instance of a logger. - The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.include`` method now accepts only a single ``callable`` argument (a sequence of callables used to be permitted). If you are passing more than one ``callable`` to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.include``, it will break. You now must now instead make a separate call to the method for each callable. This change was introduced to support the ``route_prefix`` feature of include. - It may be necessary to more strictly order configuration route and view statements when using an "autocommitting" Configurator. In the past, it was possible to add a view which named a route name before adding a route with that name when you used an autocommitting configurator. For example:: config = Configurator(autocommit=True) config.add_view('my.pkg.someview', route_name='foo') config.add_route('foo', '/foo') The above will raise an exception when the view attempts to add itself. Now you must add the route before adding the view:: config = Configurator(autocommit=True) config.add_route('foo', '/foo') config.add_view('my.pkg.someview', route_name='foo') This won't effect "normal" users, only people who have legacy BFG codebases that used an autommitting configurator and possibly tests that use the configurator API (the configurator returned by ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` is an autocommitting configurator). The right way to get around this is to use a non-autocommitting configurator (the default), which does not have these directive ordering requirements. - The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route`` directive no longer returns a route object. This change was required to make route vs. view configuration processing work properly. Documentation ------------- - Narrative and API documentation which used the ``route_url``, ``route_path``, ``resource_url``, ``static_url``, and ``current_route_url`` functions in the ``pyramid.url`` package have now been changed to use eponymous methods of the request instead. - Added a section entitled "Using a Route Prefix to Compose Applications" to the "URL Dispatch" narrative documentation chapter. - Added a new module to the API docs: ``pyramid.tweens``. - Added a "Registering Tweens" section to the "Hooks" narrative chapter. - Added a "Displaying Tweens" section to the "Command-Line Pyramid" narrative chapter. - Added documentation for the ``pyramid.tweens`` and ``pyramid.includes`` configuration settings to the "Environment Variables and ``.ini`` Files Settings" chapter. - Added a Logging chapter to the narrative docs (based on the Pylons logging docs, thanks Phil). - Added a Paste chapter to the narrative docs (moved content from the Project chapter). - Added the ``pyramid.interfaces.IDict`` interface representing the methods of a dictionary, for documentation purposes only (IMultiDict and IBeforeRender inherit from it). - All tutorials now use - The ``route_url``, ``route_path``, ``resource_url``, ``static_url``, and ``current_route_url`` methods of the request rather than the function variants imported from ``pyramid.url``. - The ZODB wiki tutorial now uses the ``pyramid_zodbconn`` package rather than the ``repoze.zodbconn`` package to provide ZODB integration. Dependency Changes ------------------ - Pyramid now relies on PasteScript >= 1.7.4. This version contains a feature important for allowing flexible logging configuration. Scaffolds ---------- - All scaffolds now use the ``pyramid_tm`` package rather than the ``repoze.tm2`` middleware to manage transaction management. - The ZODB scaffold now uses the ``pyramid_zodbconn`` package rather than the ``repoze.zodbconn`` package to provide ZODB integration. - All scaffolds now use the ``pyramid_debugtoolbar`` package rather than the ``WebError`` package to provide interactive debugging features. - Projects created via a scaffold no longer depend on the ``WebError`` package at all; configuration in the ``production.ini`` file which used to require its ``error_catcher`` middleware has been removed. Configuring error catching / email sending is now the domain of the ``pyramid_exclog`` package (see http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_exclog/dev/). Bug Fixes --------- - Fixed an issue with the default renderer not working at certain times. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/249 1.1 (2011-07-22) ================ Features -------- - Added the ``pyramid.renderers.null_renderer`` object as an API. The null renderer is an object that can be used in advanced integration cases as input to the view configuration ``renderer=`` argument. When the null renderer is used as a view renderer argument, Pyramid avoids converting the view callable result into a Response object. This is useful if you want to reuse the view configuration and lookup machinery outside the context of its use by the Pyramid router. This feature was added for consumption by the ``pyramid_rpc`` package, which uses view configuration and lookup outside the context of a router in exactly this way. ``pyramid_rpc`` has been broken under 1.1 since 1.1b1; adding it allows us to make it work again. - Change all scaffolding templates that point to docs.pylonsproject.org to use ``/projects/pyramid/current`` rather than ``/projects/pyramid/dev``. Internals --------- - Remove ``compat`` code that served only the purpose of providing backwards compatibility with Python 2.4. - Add a deprecation warning for non-API function ``pyramid.renderers.renderer_from_name`` which has seen use in the wild. - Add a ``clone`` method to ``pyramid.renderers.RendererHelper`` for use by the ``pyramid.view.view_config`` decorator. Documentation ------------- - Fixed two typos in wiki2 (SQLA + URL Dispatch) tutorial. - Reordered chapters in narrative section for better new user friendliness. - Added more indexing markers to sections in documentation. 1.1b4 (2011-07-18) ================== Documentation ------------- - Added a section entitled "Writing a Script" to the "Command-Line Pyramid" chapter. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - We added the ``pyramid.scripting.make_request`` API too hastily in 1.1b3. It has been removed. Sorry for any inconvenience. Use the ``pyramid.request.Request.blank`` API instead. Features -------- - The ``paster pshell``, ``paster pviews``, and ``paster proutes`` commands each now under the hood uses ``pyramid.paster.bootstrap``, which makes it possible to supply an ``.ini`` file without naming the "right" section in the file that points at the actual Pyramid application. Instead, you can generally just run ``paster {pshell|proutes|pviews} development.ini`` and it will do mostly the right thing. Bug Fixes --------- - Omit custom environ variables when rendering a custom exception template in ``pyramid.httpexceptions.WSGIHTTPException._set_default_attrs``; stringifying thse may trigger code that should not be executed; see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/239 1.1b3 (2011-07-15) ================== Features -------- - Fix corner case to ease semifunctional testing of views: create a new rendererinfo to clear out old registry on a rescan. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/234. - New API class: ``pyramid.static.static_view``. This supersedes the deprecated ``pyramid.view.static`` class. ``pyramid.static.static_view`` by default serves up documents as the result of the request's ``path_info``, attribute rather than it's ``subpath`` attribute (the inverse was true of ``pyramid.view.static``, and still is). ``pyramid.static.static_view`` exposes a ``use_subpath`` flag for use when you want the static view to behave like the older deprecated version. - A new API function ``pyramid.paster.bootstrap`` has been added to make writing scripts that bootstrap a Pyramid environment easier, e.g.:: from pyramid.paster import bootstrap info = bootstrap('/path/to/my/development.ini') request = info['request'] print request.route_url('myroute') - A new API function ``pyramid.scripting.prepare`` has been added. It is a lower-level analogue of ``pyramid.paster.boostrap`` that accepts a request and a registry instead of a config file argument, and is used for the same purpose:: from pyramid.scripting import prepare info = prepare(registry=myregistry) request = info['request'] print request.route_url('myroute') - A new API function ``pyramid.scripting.make_request`` has been added. The resulting request will have a ``registry`` attribute. It is meant to be used in conjunction with ``pyramid.scripting.prepare`` and/or ``pyramid.paster.bootstrap`` (both of which accept a request as an argument):: from pyramid.scripting import make_request request = make_request('/') - New API attribute ``pyramid.config.global_registries`` is an iterable object that contains references to every Pyramid registry loaded into the current process via ``pyramid.config.Configurator.make_app``. It also has a ``last`` attribute containing the last registry loaded. This is used by the scripting machinery, and is available for introspection. Deprecations ------------ - The ``pyramid.view.static`` class has been deprecated in favor of the newer ``pyramid.static.static_view`` class. A deprecation warning is raised when it is used. You should replace it with a reference to ``pyramid.static.static_view`` with the ``use_subpath=True`` argument. Bug Fixes --------- - Without a mo-file loaded for the combination of domain/locale, ``pyramid.i18n.Localizer.pluralize`` run using that domain/locale combination raised an inscrutable "translations object has no attr 'plural'" error. Now, instead it "works" (it uses a germanic pluralization by default). It's nonsensical to try to pluralize something without translations for that locale/domain available, but this behavior matches the behavior of ``pyramid.i18n.Localizer.translate`` so it's at least consistent; see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/235. 1.1b2 (2011-07-13) ================== Features -------- - New environment setting ``PYRAMID_PREVENT_HTTP_CACHE`` and new configuration file value ``prevent_http_cache``. These are synomymous and allow you to prevent HTTP cache headers from being set by Pyramid's ``http_cache`` machinery globally in a process. see the "Influencing HTTP Caching" section of the "View Configuration" narrative chapter and the detailed documentation for this setting in the "Environment Variables and Configuration Settings" narrative chapter. Behavior Changes ---------------- - Previously, If a ``BeforeRender`` event subscriber added a value via the ``__setitem__`` or ``update`` methods of the event object with a key that already existed in the renderer globals dictionary, a ``KeyError`` was raised. With the deprecation of the "add_renderer_globals" feature of the configurator, there was no way to override an existing value in the renderer globals dictionary that already existed. Now, the event object will overwrite an older value that is already in the globals dictionary when its ``__setitem__`` or ``update`` is called (as well as the new ``setdefault`` method), just like a plain old dictionary. As a result, for maximum interoperability with other third-party subscribers, if you write an event subscriber meant to be used as a BeforeRender subscriber, your subscriber code will now need to (using ``.get`` or ``__contains__`` of the event object) ensure no value already exists in the renderer globals dictionary before setting an overriding value. Bug Fixes --------- - The ``Configurator.add_route`` method allowed two routes with the same route to be added without an intermediate ``config.commit()``. If you now receive a ``ConfigurationError`` at startup time that appears to be ``add_route`` related, you'll need to either a) ensure that all of your route names are unique or b) call ``config.commit()`` before adding a second route with the name of a previously added name or c) use a Configurator that works in ``autocommit`` mode. - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` and ``pyramid_alchemy`` scaffolds inappropriately used ``DBSession.rollback()`` instead of ``transaction.abort()`` in one place. - We now clear ``request.response`` before we invoke an exception view; an exception view will be working with a request.response that has not been touched by any code prior to the exception. - Views associated with routes with spaces in the route name may not have been looked up correctly when using Pyramid with ``zope.interface`` 3.6.4 and better. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/232. Documentation ------------- - Wiki2 (SQLAlchemy + URL Dispatch) tutorial ``models.initialize_sql`` didn't match the ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` scaffold function of the same name; it didn't get synchronized when it was changed in the scaffold. - New documentation section in View Configuration narrative chapter: "Influencing HTTP Caching". 1.1b1 (2011-07-10) ================== Features -------- - It is now possible to invoke ``paster pshell`` even if the paste ini file section name pointed to in its argument is not actually a Pyramid WSGI application. The shell will work in a degraded mode, and will warn the user. See "The Interactive Shell" in the "Creating a Pyramid Project" narrative documentation section. - ``paster pshell`` now offers more built-in global variables by default (including ``app`` and ``settings``). See "The Interactive Shell" in the "Creating a Pyramid Project" narrative documentation section. - It is now possible to add a ``[pshell]`` section to your application's .ini configuration file, which influences the global names available to a pshell session. See "Extending the Shell" in the "Creating a Pyramid Project" narrative documentation chapter. - The ``config.scan`` method has grown a ``**kw`` argument. ``kw`` argument represents a set of keyword arguments to pass to the Venusian ``Scanner`` object created by Pyramid. (See the Venusian documentation for more information about ``Scanner``). - New request property: ``json_body``. This property will return the JSON-decoded variant of the request body. If the request body is not well-formed JSON, this property will raise an exception. - A new value ``http_cache`` can be used as a view configuration parameter. When you supply an ``http_cache`` value to a view configuration, the ``Expires`` and ``Cache-Control`` headers of a response generated by the associated view callable are modified. The value for ``http_cache`` may be one of the following: - A nonzero integer. If it's a nonzero integer, it's treated as a number of seconds. This number of seconds will be used to compute the ``Expires`` header and the ``Cache-Control: max-age`` parameter of responses to requests which call this view. For example: ``http_cache=3600`` instructs the requesting browser to 'cache this response for an hour, please'. - A ``datetime.timedelta`` instance. If it's a ``datetime.timedelta`` instance, it will be converted into a number of seconds, and that number of seconds will be used to compute the ``Expires`` header and the ``Cache-Control: max-age`` parameter of responses to requests which call this view. For example: ``http_cache=datetime.timedelta(days=1)`` instructs the requesting browser to 'cache this response for a day, please'. - Zero (``0``). If the value is zero, the ``Cache-Control`` and ``Expires`` headers present in all responses from this view will be composed such that client browser cache (and any intermediate caches) are instructed to never cache the response. - A two-tuple. If it's a two tuple (e.g. ``http_cache=(1, {'public':True})``), the first value in the tuple may be a nonzero integer or a ``datetime.timedelta`` instance; in either case this value will be used as the number of seconds to cache the response. The second value in the tuple must be a dictionary. The values present in the dictionary will be used as input to the ``Cache-Control`` response header. For example: ``http_cache=(3600, {'public':True})`` means 'cache for an hour, and add ``public`` to the Cache-Control header of the response'. All keys and values supported by the ``webob.cachecontrol.CacheControl`` interface may be added to the dictionary. Supplying ``{'public':True}`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_control.public = True``. Providing a non-tuple value as ``http_cache`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_expires(value)`` within your view's body. Providing a two-tuple value as ``http_cache`` is equivalent to calling ``response.cache_expires(value[0], **value[1])`` within your view's body. If you wish to avoid influencing, the ``Expires`` header, and instead wish to only influence ``Cache-Control`` headers, pass a tuple as ``http_cache`` with the first element of ``None``, e.g.: ``(None, {'public':True})``. Bug Fixes --------- - Framework wrappers of the original view (such as http_cached and so on) relied on being able to trust that the response they were receiving was an IResponse. It wasn't always, because the response was resolved by the router instead of early in the view wrapping process. This has been fixed. Documentation ------------- - Added a section in the "Webob" chapter named "Dealing With A JSON-Encoded Request Body" (usage of ``request.json_body``). Behavior Changes ---------------- - The ``paster pshell``, ``paster proutes``, and ``paster pviews`` commands now take a single argument in the form ``/path/to/config.ini#sectionname`` rather than the previous 2-argument spelling ``/path/to/config.ini sectionname``. ``#sectionname`` may be omitted, in which case ``#main`` is assumed. 1.1a4 (2011-07-01) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now raises deprecation warnings when attributes deprecated for ``pyramid.request.Request`` are accessed (like ``response_content_type``). This is for the benefit of folks running unit tests which use DummyRequest instead of a "real" request, so they know things are deprecated without necessarily needing a functional test suite. - The ``pyramid.events.subscriber`` directive behaved contrary to the documentation when passed more than one interface object to its constructor. For example, when the following listener was registered:: @subscriber(IFoo, IBar) def expects_ifoo_events_and_ibar_events(event): print event The Events chapter docs claimed that the listener would be registered and listening for both ``IFoo`` and ``IBar`` events. Instead, it registered an "object event" subscriber which would only be called if an IObjectEvent was emitted where the object interface was ``IFoo`` and the event interface was ``IBar``. The behavior now matches the documentation. If you were relying on the buggy behavior of the 1.0 ``subscriber`` directive in order to register an object event subscriber, you must now pass a sequence to indicate you'd like to register a subscriber for an object event. e.g.:: @subscriber([IFoo, IBar]) def expects_object_event(object, event): print object, event Features -------- - Add JSONP renderer (see "JSONP renderer" in the Renderers chapter of the documentation). Deprecations ------------ - Deprecated the ``set_renderer_globals_factory`` method of the Configurator and the ``renderer_globals`` Configurator constructor parameter. Documentation ------------- - The Wiki and Wiki2 tutorial "Tests" chapters each had two bugs: neither did told the user to depend on WebTest, and 2 tests failed in each as the result of changes to Pyramid itself. These issues have been fixed. - Move 1.0.X CHANGES.txt entries to HISTORY.txt. 1.1a3 (2011-06-26) ================== Features -------- - Added ``mako.preprocessor`` config file parameter; allows for a Mako preprocessor to be specified as a Python callable or Python dotted name. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/183 for rationale. Bug fixes --------- - Pyramid would raise an AttributeError in the Configurator when attempting to set a ``__text__`` attribute on a custom predicate that was actually a classmethod. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/217 . - Accessing or setting deprecated response_* attrs on request (e.g. ``response_content_type``) now issues a deprecation warning at access time rather than at rendering time. 1.1a2 (2011-06-22) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - 1.1a1 broke Akhet by not providing a backwards compatibility import shim for ``pyramid.paster.PyramidTemplate``. Now one has been added, although a deprecation warning is emitted when Akhet imports it. - If multiple specs were provided in a single call to ``config.add_translation_dirs``, the directories were inserted into the beginning of the directory list in the wrong order: they were inserted in the reverse of the order they were provided in the ``*specs`` list (items later in the list were added before ones earlier in the list). This is now fixed. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The pyramid Router attempted to set a value into the key ``environ['repoze.bfg.message']`` when it caught a view-related exception for backwards compatibility with applications written for ``repoze.bfg`` during error handling. It did this by using code that looked like so:: # "why" is an exception object try: msg = why[0] except: msg = '' environ['repoze.bfg.message'] = msg Use of the value ``environ['repoze.bfg.message']`` was docs-deprecated in Pyramid 1.0. Our standing policy is to not remove features after a deprecation for two full major releases, so this code was originally slated to be removed in Pyramid 1.2. However, computing the ``repoze.bfg.message`` value was the source of at least one bug found in the wild (https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/199), and there isn't a foolproof way to both preserve backwards compatibility and to fix the bug. Therefore, the code which sets the value has been removed in this release. Code in exception views which relies on this value's presence in the environment should now use the ``exception`` attribute of the request (e.g. ``request.exception[0]``) to retrieve the message instead of relying on ``request.environ['repoze.bfg.message']``. 1.1a1 (2011-06-20) ================== Documentation ------------- - The term "template" used to refer to both "paster templates" and "rendered templates" (templates created by a rendering engine. i.e. Mako, Chameleon, Jinja, etc.). "Paster templates" will now be refered to as "scaffolds", whereas the name for "rendered templates" will remain as "templates." - The ``wiki`` (ZODB+Traversal) tutorial was updated slightly. - The ``wiki2`` (SQLA+URL Dispatch) tutorial was updated slightly. - Make ``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` and ``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy`` public interfaces, and refer to them within the ``pyramid.authentication`` and ``pyramid.authorization`` API docs. - Render the function definitions for each exposed interface in ``pyramid.interfaces``. - Add missing docs reference to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_view_mapper`` and refer to it within Hooks chapter section named "Using a View Mapper". - Added section to the "Environment Variables and ``.ini`` File Settings" chapter in the narrative documentation section entitled "Adding a Custom Setting". - Added documentation for a "multidict" (e.g. the API of ``request.POST``) as interface API documentation. - Added a section to the "URL Dispatch" narrative chapter regarding the new "static" route feature. - Added "What's New in Pyramid 1.1" to HTML rendering of documentation. - Added API docs for ``pyramid.authentication.SessionAuthenticationPolicy``. - Added API docs for ``pyramid.httpexceptions.exception_response``. - Added "HTTP Exceptions" section to Views narrative chapter including a description of ``pyramid.httpexceptions.exception_response``. Features -------- - Add support for language fallbacks: when trying to translate for a specific territory (such as ``en_GB``) fall back to translations for the language (ie ``en``). This brings the translation behaviour in line with GNU gettext and fixes partially translated texts when using C extensions. - New authentication policy: ``pyramid.authentication.SessionAuthenticationPolicy``, which uses a session to store credentials. - Accessing the ``response`` attribute of a ``pyramid.request.Request`` object (e.g. ``request.response`` within a view) now produces a new ``pyramid.response.Response`` object. This feature is meant to be used mainly when a view configured with a renderer needs to set response attributes: all renderers will use the Response object implied by ``request.response`` as the response object returned to the router. ``request.response`` can also be used by code in a view that does not use a renderer, however the response object that is produced by ``request.response`` must be returned when a renderer is not in play (it is not a "global" response). - Integers and longs passed as ``elements`` to ``pyramid.url.resource_url`` or ``pyramid.request.Request.resource_url`` e.g. ``resource_url(context, request, 1, 2)`` (``1`` and ``2`` are the ``elements``) will now be converted implicitly to strings in the result. Previously passing integers or longs as elements would cause a TypeError. - ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster template now uses ``query.get`` rather than ``query.filter_by`` to take better advantage of identity map caching. - ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster template now has unit tests. - Added ``pyramid.i18n.make_localizer`` API (broken out from ``get_localizer`` guts). - An exception raised by a NewRequest event subscriber can now be caught by an exception view. - It is now possible to get information about why Pyramid raised a Forbidden exception from within an exception view. The ``ACLDenied`` object returned by the ``permits`` method of each stock authorization policy (``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthorizationPolicy.permits``) is now attached to the Forbidden exception as its ``result`` attribute. Therefore, if you've created a Forbidden exception view, you can see the ACE, ACL, permission, and principals involved in the request as eg. ``context.result.permission``, ``context.result.acl``, etc within the logic of the Forbidden exception view. - Don't explicitly prevent the ``timeout`` from being lower than the ``reissue_time`` when setting up an ``AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` (previously such a configuration would raise a ``ValueError``, now it's allowed, although typically nonsensical). Allowing the nonsensical configuration made the code more understandable and required fewer tests. - A new paster command named ``paster pviews`` was added. This command prints a summary of potentially matching views for a given path. See the section entitled "Displaying Matching Views for a Given URL" in the "View Configuration" chapter of the narrative documentation for more information. - The ``add_route`` method of the Configurator now accepts a ``static`` argument. If this argument is ``True``, the added route will never be considered for matching when a request is handled. Instead, it will only be useful for URL generation via ``route_url`` and ``route_path``. See the section entitled "Static Routes" in the URL Dispatch narrative chapter for more information. - A default exception view for the context ``pyramid.interfaces.IExceptionResponse`` is now registered by default. This means that an instance of any exception response class imported from ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` (such as ``HTTPFound``) can now be raised from within view code; when raised, this exception view will render the exception to a response. - A function named ``pyramid.httpexceptions.exception_response`` is a shortcut that can be used to create HTTP exception response objects using an HTTP integer status code. - The Configurator now accepts an additional keyword argument named ``exceptionresponse_view``. By default, this argument is populated with a default exception view function that will be used when a response is raised as an exception. When ``None`` is passed for this value, an exception view for responses will not be registered. Passing ``None`` returns the behavior of raising an HTTP exception to that of Pyramid 1.0 (the exception will propagate to middleware and to the WSGI server). - The ``pyramid.request.Request`` class now has a ``ResponseClass`` interface which points at ``pyramid.response.Response``. - The ``pyramid.response.Response`` class now has a ``RequestClass`` interface which points at ``pyramid.request.Request``. - It is now possible to return an arbitrary object from a Pyramid view callable even if a renderer is not used, as long as a suitable adapter to ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` is registered for the type of the returned object by using the new ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_response_adapter`` API. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The Pyramid router will now, by default, call the ``__call__`` method of WebOb response objects when returning a WSGI response. This means that, among other things, the ``conditional_response`` feature of WebOb response objects will now behave properly. - New method named ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response``. This method should be used instead of the ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function, which has been deprecated. Bug Fixes --------- - URL pattern markers used in URL dispatch are permitted to specify a custom regex. For example, the pattern ``/{foo:\d+}`` means to match ``/12345`` (foo==12345 in the match dictionary) but not ``/abc``. However, custom regexes in a pattern marker which used squiggly brackets did not work. For example, ``/{foo:\d{4}}`` would fail to match ``/1234`` and ``/{foo:\d{1,2}}`` would fail to match ``/1`` or ``/11``. One level of inner squiggly brackets is now recognized so that the prior two patterns given as examples now work. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/#issue/123. - Don't send port numbers along with domain information in cookies set by AuthTktCookieHelper (see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/131). - ``pyramid.url.route_path`` (and the shortcut ``pyramid.request.Request.route_url`` method) now include the WSGI SCRIPT_NAME at the front of the path if it is not empty (see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/135). - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now has a ``script_name`` attribute (the empty string). - Don't quote ``:@&+$,`` symbols in ``*elements`` passed to ``pyramid.url.route_url`` or ``pyramid.url.resource_url`` (see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues#issue/141). - Include SCRIPT_NAME in redirects issued by ``pyramid.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` (see https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues#issue/149). - Static views registered with ``config.add_static_view`` which also included a ``permission`` keyword argument would not work as expected, because ``add_static_view`` also registered a route factory internally. Because a route factory was registered internally, the context checked by the Pyramid permission machinery never had an ACL. ``add_static_view`` no longer registers a route with a factory, so the default root factory will be used. - ``config.add_static_view`` now passes extra keyword arguments it receives to ``config.add_route`` (calling add_static_view is mostly logically equivalent to adding a view of the type ``pyramid.static.static_view`` hooked up to a route with a subpath). This makes it possible to pass e.g., ``factory=`` to ``add_static_view`` to protect a particular static view with a custom ACL. - ``testing.DummyRequest`` used the wrong registry (the global registry) as ``self.registry`` if a dummy request was created *before* ``testing.setUp`` was executed (``testing.setUp`` pushes a local registry onto the threadlocal stack). Fixed by implementing ``registry`` as a property for DummyRequest instead of eagerly assigning an attribute. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/165 - When visiting a URL that represented a static view which resolved to a subdirectory, the ``index.html`` of that subdirectory would not be served properly. Instead, a redirect to ``/subdir`` would be issued. This has been fixed, and now visiting a subdirectory that contains an ``index.html`` within a static view returns the index.html properly. See also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/67. - Redirects issued by a static view did not take into account any existing ``SCRIPT_NAME`` (such as one set by a url mapping composite). Now they do. - The ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` decorator did not take into account the ``SCRIPT_NAME`` in the origin request. - The ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` decorator effectively only worked when it decorated a view found via traversal; it ignored the ``PATH_INFO`` that was part of a url-dispatch-matched view. Deprecations ------------ - Deprecated all assignments to ``request.response_*`` attributes (for example ``request.response_content_type = 'foo'`` is now deprecated). Assignments and mutations of assignable 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 later detection by the rendering machinery, users should use the appropriate API of the Response object created by accessing ``request.response`` (e.g. code which does ``request.response_content_type = 'abc'`` should be changed to ``request.response.content_type = 'abc'``). - Passing view-related parameters to ``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route`` is now deprecated. Previously, a view was permitted to be connected to a route using a set of ``view*`` parameters passed to the ``add_route`` method of the Configurator. This was a shorthand which replaced the need to perform a subsequent call to ``add_view``. For example, it was valid (and often recommended) to do:: config.add_route('home', '/', view='mypackage.views.myview', view_renderer='some/renderer.pt') Passing ``view*`` arguments to ``add_route`` is now deprecated in favor of connecting a view to a predefined route via ``Configurator.add_view`` using the route's ``route_name`` parameter. As a result, the above example should now be spelled:: config.add_route('home', '/') config.add_view('mypackage.views.myview', route_name='home') renderer='some/renderer.pt') This deprecation was done to reduce confusion observed in IRC, as well as to (eventually) reduce documentation burden (see also https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/164). A deprecation warning is now issued when any view-related parameter is passed to ``Configurator.add_route``. - Passing an ``environ`` dictionary to the ``__call__`` method of a "traverser" (e.g. an object that implements ``pyramid.interfaces.ITraverser`` such as an instance of ``pyramid.traversal.ResourceTreeTraverser``) as its ``request`` argument now causes a deprecation warning to be emitted. Consumer code should pass a ``request`` object instead. The fact that passing an environ dict is permitted has been documentation-deprecated since ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1, and this capability will be removed entirely in a future version. - The following (undocumented, dictionary-like) methods of the ``pyramid.request.Request`` object have been deprecated: ``__contains__``, ``__delitem__``, ``__getitem__``, ``__iter__``, ``__setitem__``, ``get``, ``has_key``, ``items``, ``iteritems``, ``itervalues``, ``keys``, ``pop``, ``popitem``, ``setdefault``, ``update``, and ``values``. Usage of any of these methods will cause a deprecation warning to be emitted. These methods were added for internal compatibility in ``repoze.bfg`` 1.1 (code that currently expects a request object expected an environ object in BFG 1.0 and before). In a future version, these methods will be removed entirely. - Deprecated ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function in favor of (newly-added) ``pyramid.request.Request.is_response`` method. Determining if an object is truly a valid response object now requires access to the registry, which is only easily available as a request attribute. The ``pyramid.view.is_response`` function will still work until it is removed, but now may return an incorrect answer under some (very uncommon) circumstances. Behavior Changes ---------------- - The default Mako renderer is now configured to escape all HTML in expression tags. This is intended to help prevent XSS attacks caused by rendering unsanitized input from users. To revert this behavior in user's templates, they need to filter the expression through the 'n' filter. For example, ${ myhtml | n }. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/193. - A custom request factory is now required to return a request object that has a ``response`` attribute (or "reified"/lazy property) if they the request is meant to be used in a view that uses a renderer. This ``response`` attribute should be an instance of the class ``pyramid.response.Response``. - The JSON and string renderer factories now assign to ``request.response.content_type`` rather than ``request.response_content_type``. - Each built-in renderer factory now determines whether it should change the content type of the response by comparing the response's content type against the response's default content type; if the content type is the default content type (usually ``text/html``), the renderer changes the content type (to ``application/json`` or ``text/plain`` for JSON and string renderers respectively). - The ``pyramid.wsgi.wsgiapp2`` now uses a slightly different method of figuring out how to "fix" ``SCRIPT_NAME`` and ``PATH_INFO`` for the downstream application. As a result, those values may differ slightly from the perspective of the downstream application (for example, ``SCRIPT_NAME`` will now never possess a trailing slash). - Previously, ``pyramid.request.Request`` inherited from ``webob.request.Request`` and implemented ``__getattr__``, ``__setattr__`` and ``__delattr__`` itself in order to overidde "adhoc attr" WebOb behavior where attributes of the request are stored in the environ. Now, ``pyramid.request.Request`` object inherits from (the more recent) ``webob.request.BaseRequest`` instead of ``webob.request.Request``, which provides the same behavior. ``pyramid.request.Request`` no longer implements its own ``__getattr__``, ``__setattr__`` or ``__delattr__`` as a result. - ``pyramid.response.Response`` is now a *subclass* of ``webob.response.Response`` (in order to directly implement the ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface). - The "exception response" objects importable from ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` (e.g. ``HTTPNotFound``) are no longer just import aliases for classes that actually live in ``webob.exc``. Instead, we've defined our own exception classes within the module that mirror and emulate the ``webob.exc`` exception response objects almost entirely. See the "Design Defense" doc section named "Pyramid Uses its Own HTTP Exception Classes" for more information. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Pyramid no longer supports Python 2.4. Python 2.5 or better is required to run Pyramid 1.1+. - The Pyramid router now, by default, expects response objects returned from view callables to implement the ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface. Unlike the Pyramid 1.0 version of this interface, objects which implement IResponse now must define a ``__call__`` method that accepts ``environ`` and ``start_response``, and which returns an ``app_iter`` iterable, among other things. Previously, it was possible to return any object which had the three WebOb ``app_iter``, ``headerlist``, and ``status`` attributes as a response, so this is a backwards incompatibility. It is possible to get backwards compatibility back by registering an adapter to IResponse from the type of object you're now returning from view callables. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface is now much more extensive. Previously it defined only ``app_iter``, ``status`` and ``headerlist``; now it is basically intended to directly mirror the ``webob.Response`` API, which has many methods and attributes. - The ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` classes named ``HTTPFound``, ``HTTPMultipleChoices``, ``HTTPMovedPermanently``, ``HTTPSeeOther``, ``HTTPUseProxy``, and ``HTTPTemporaryRedirect`` now accept ``location`` as their first positional argument rather than ``detail``. This means that you can do, e.g. ``return pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPFound('http://foo')`` rather than ``return pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPFound(location='http//foo')`` (the latter will of course continue to work). Dependencies ------------ - Pyramid now depends on WebOb >= 1.0.2 as tests depend on the bugfix in that release: "Fix handling of WSGI environs with missing ``SCRIPT_NAME``". (Note that in reality, everyone should probably be using 1.0.4 or better though, as WebOb 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 were effectively brownbag releases.) 1.0 (2011-01-30) ================ Documentation ------------- - Fixed bug in ZODB Wiki tutorial (missing dependency on ``docutils`` in "models" step within ``setup.py``). - Removed API documentation for ``pyramid.testing`` APIs named ``registerDummySecurityPolicy``, ``registerResources``, ``registerModels``, ``registerEventListener``, ``registerTemplateRenderer``, ``registerDummyRenderer``, ``registerView``, ``registerUtility``, ``registerAdapter``, ``registerSubscriber``, ``registerRoute``, and ``registerSettings``. - Moved "Using ZODB With ZEO" and "Using repoze.catalog Within Pyramid" tutorials out of core documentation and into the Pyramid Tutorials site (http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_tutorials/dev/). - Changed "Cleaning up After a Request" section in the URL Dispatch chapter to use ``request.add_finished_callback`` instead of jamming an object with a ``__del__`` into the WSGI environment. - Remove duplication of ``add_route`` API documentation from URL Dispatch narrative chapter. - Remove duplication of API and narrative documentation in ``pyramid.view.view_config`` API docs by pointing to ``pyramid.config.add_view`` documentation and narrative chapter documentation. - Removed some API documentation duplicated in narrative portions of documentation - Removed "Overall Flow of Authentication" from SQLAlchemy + URL Dispatch wiki tutorial due to print space concerns (moved to Pyramid Tutorials site). Bug Fixes --------- - Deprecated-since-BFG-1.2 APIs from ``pyramid.testing`` now properly emit deprecation warnings. - Added ``egg:repoze.retry#retry`` middleware to the WSGI pipeline in ZODB templates (retry ZODB conflict errors which occur in normal operations). - Removed duplicate implementations of ``is_response``. Two competing implementations existed: one in ``pyramid.config`` and one in ``pyramid.view``. Now the one defined in ``pyramid.view`` is used internally by ``pyramid.config`` and continues to be advertised as an API. 1.0b3 (2011-01-28) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - Use © instead of copyright symbol in paster templates / tutorial templates for the benefit of folks who cutnpaste and save to a non-UTF8 format. - ``pyramid.view.append_slash_notfound_view`` now preserves GET query parameters across redirects. Documentation ------------- - Beef up documentation related to ``set_default_permission``: explicitly mention that default permissions also protect exception views. - Paster templates and tutorials now use spaces instead of tabs in their HTML templates. 1.0b2 (2011-01-24) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The ``production.ini`` generated by all paster templates now have an effective logging level of WARN, which prevents e.g. SQLAlchemy statement logging and other inappropriate output. - The ``production.ini`` of the ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` and ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster templates did not have a ``sqlalchemy`` logger section, preventing ``paster serve production.ini`` from working. - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` and ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster templates used the ``{{package}}`` variable in a place where it should have used the ``{{project}}`` variable, causing applications created with uppercase letters e.g. ``paster create -t pyramid_routesalchemy Dibbus`` to fail to start when ``paster serve development.ini`` was used against the result. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/#issue/107 - The ``render_view`` method of ``pyramid.renderers.RendererHelper`` passed an incorrect value into the renderer for ``renderer_info``. It now passes an instance of ``RendererHelper`` instead of a dictionary, which is consistent with other usages. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues#issue/106 - A bug existed in the ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktCookieHelper`` which would break any usage of an AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy when one was configured to reissue its tokens (``reissue_time`` < ``timeout`` / ``max_age``). Symptom: ``ValueError: ('Invalid token %r', '')``. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues#issue/108. 1.0b1 (2011-01-21) ================== Features -------- - The AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy now accepts a ``tokens`` parameter via ``pyramid.security.remember``. The value must be a sequence of strings. Tokens are placed into the auth_tkt "tokens" field and returned in the auth_tkt cookie. - Add ``wild_domain`` argument to AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy, which defaults to ``True``. If it is set to ``False``, the feature of the policy which sets a cookie with a wilcard domain will be turned off. - Add a ``MANIFEST.in`` file to each paster template. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues#issue/95 Bug Fixes --------- - ``testing.setUp`` now adds a ``settings`` attribute to the registry (both when it's passed a registry without any settings and when it creates one). - The ``testing.setUp`` function now takes a ``settings`` argument, which should be a dictionary. Its values will subsequently be available on the returned ``config`` object as ``config.registry.settings``. Documentation ------------- - Added "What's New in Pyramid 1.0" chapter to HTML rendering of documentation. - Merged caseman-master narrative editing branch, many wording fixes and extensions. - Fix deprecated example showing ``chameleon_zpt`` API call in testing narrative chapter. - Added "Adding Methods to the Configurator via ``add_directive``" section to Advanced Configuration narrative chapter. - Add docs for ``add_finished_callback``, ``add_response_callback``, ``route_path``, ``route_url``, and ``static_url`` methods to ``pyramid.request.Request`` API docs. - Add (minimal) documentation about using I18N within Mako templates to "Internationalization and Localization" narrative chapter. - Move content of "Forms" chapter back to "Views" chapter; I can't think of a better place to put it. - Slightly improved interface docs for ``IAuthorizationPolicy``. - Minimally explain usage of custom regular expressions in URL dispatch replacement markers within URL Dispatch chapter. Deprecations ------------- - Using the ``pyramid.view.bfg_view`` alias for ``pyramid.view.view_config`` (a backwards compatibility shim) now issues a deprecation warning. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Using ``testing.setUp`` now registers an ISettings utility as a side effect. Some test code which queries for this utility after ``testing.setUp`` via queryAdapter will expect a return value of ``None``. This code will need to be changed. - When a ``pyramid.exceptions.Forbidden`` error is raised, its status code now ``403 Forbidden``. It was previously ``401 Unauthorized``, for backwards compatibility purposes with ``repoze.bfg``. This change will cause problems for users of Pyramid with ``repoze.who``, which intercepts ``401 Unauthorized`` by default, but allows ``403 Forbidden`` to pass through. Those deployments will need to configure ``repoze.who`` to also react to ``403 Forbidden``. - The default value for the ``cookie_on_exception`` parameter to ``pyramid.session.UnencyrptedCookieSessionFactory`` is now ``True``. This means that when view code causes an exception to be raised, and the session has been mutated, a cookie will be sent back in the response. Previously its default value was ``False``. Paster Templates ---------------- - The ``pyramid_zodb``, ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` and ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster templates now use a default "commit veto" hook when configuring the ``repoze.tm2`` transaction manager in ``development.ini``. This prevents a transaction from being committed when the response status code is within the 400 or 500 ranges. See also http://docs.repoze.org/tm2/#using-a-commit-veto. 1.0a10 (2011-01-18) =================== Bug Fixes --------- - URL dispatch now properly handles a ``.*`` or ``*`` appearing in a regex match when used inside brackets. Resolves issue #90. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``add_handler`` method of a Configurator has been removed from the Pyramid core. Handlers are now a feature of the ``pyramid_handlers`` package, which can be downloaded from PyPI. Documentation for the package should be available via http://pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_handlers/dev/, which describes how to add a configuration statement to your ``main`` block to reobtain this method. You will also need to add an ``install_requires`` dependency upon ``pyramid_handlers`` to your ``setup.py`` file. - The ``load_zcml`` method of a Configurator has been removed from the Pyramid core. Loading ZCML is now a feature of the ``pyramid_zcml`` package, which can be downloaded from PyPI. Documentation for the package should be available via http://pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_zcml/dev/, which describes how to add a configuration statement to your ``main`` block to reobtain this method. You will also need to add an ``install_requires`` dependency upon ``pyramid_zcml`` to your ``setup.py`` file. - The ``pyramid.includes`` subpackage has been removed. ZCML files which use include the package ``pyramid.includes`` (e.g. ````) now must include the ``pyramid_zcml`` package instead (e.g. ````). - The ``pyramid.view.action`` decorator has been removed from the Pyramid core. Handlers are now a feature of the ``pyramid_handlers`` package. It should now be imported from ``pyramid_handlers`` e.g. ``from pyramid_handlers import action``. - The ``handler`` ZCML directive has been removed. It is now a feature of the ``pyramid_handlers`` package. - The ``pylons_minimal``, ``pylons_basic`` and ``pylons_sqla`` paster templates were removed. Use ``pyramid_sqla`` (available from PyPI) as a generic replacement for Pylons-esque development. - The ``make_app`` function has been removed from the ``pyramid.router`` module. It continues life within the ``pyramid_zcml`` package. This leaves the ``pyramid.router`` module without any API functions. - The ``configure_zcml`` setting within the deployment settings (within ``**settings`` passed to a Pyramid ``main`` function) has ceased to have any meaning. Features -------- - ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` and ``pyramid.testing.tearDown`` have been undeprecated. They are now the canonical setup and teardown APIs for test configuration, replacing "direct" creation of a Configurator. This is a change designed to provide a facade that will protect against any future Configurator deprecations. - Add ``charset`` attribute to ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` (unconditionally ``UTF-8``). - Add ``add_directive`` method to configurator, which allows framework extenders to add methods to the configurator (ala ZCML directives). - When ``Configurator.include`` is passed a *module* as an argument, it defaults to attempting to find and use a callable named ``includeme`` within that module. This makes it possible to use ``config.include('some.module')`` rather than ``config.include('some.module.somefunc')`` as long as the include function within ``some.module`` is named ``includeme``. - The ``bfg2pyramid`` script now converts ZCML include tags that have ``repoze.bfg.includes`` as a package attribute to the value ``pyramid_zcml``. For example, ```` will be converted to ````. Paster Templates ---------------- - All paster templates now use ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` and ``pyramid.testing.tearDown`` rather than creating a Configurator "by hand" within their ``tests.py`` module, as per decision in features above. - The ``starter_zcml`` paster template has been moved to the ``pyramid_zcml`` package. Documentation ------------- - The wiki and wiki2 tutorials now use ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` and ``pyramid.testing.tearDown`` rather than creating a Configurator "by hand", as per decision in features above. - The "Testing" narrative chapter now explains ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` and ``pyramid.testing.tearDown`` instead of Configurator creation and ``Configurator.begin()`` and ``Configurator.end()``. - Document the ``request.override_renderer`` attribute within the narrative "Renderers" chapter in a section named "Overriding A Renderer at Runtime". - The "Declarative Configuration" narrative chapter has been removed (it was moved to the ``pyramid_zcml`` package). - Most references to ZCML in narrative chapters have been removed or redirected to ``pyramid_zcml`` locations. Deprecations ------------ - Deprecation warnings related to import of the following API functions were added: ``pyramid.traversal.find_model``, ``pyramid.traversal.model_path``, ``pyramid.traversal.model_path_tuple``, ``pyramid.url.model_url``. The instructions emitted by the deprecation warnings instruct the developer to change these method spellings to their ``resource`` equivalents. This is a consequence of the mass concept rename of "model" to "resource" performed in 1.0a7. 1.0a9 (2011-01-08) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The ``proutes`` command tried too hard to resolve the view for printing, resulting in exceptions when an exceptional root factory was encountered. Instead of trying to resolve the view, if it cannot, it will now just print ````. - The `self` argument was included in new methods of the ``ISession`` interface signature, causing ``pyramid_beaker`` tests to fail. - Readd ``pyramid.traversal.model_path_tuple`` as an alias for ``pyramid.traversal.resource_path_tuple`` for backwards compatibility. Features -------- - Add a new API ``pyramid.url.current_route_url``, which computes a URL based on the "current" route (if any) and its matchdict values. - ``config.add_view`` now accepts a ``decorator`` keyword argument, a callable which will decorate the view callable before it is added to the registry. - If a handler class provides an ``__action_decorator__`` attribute (usually a classmethod or staticmethod), use that as the decorator for each view registration for that handler. - The ``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` interface now specifies an ``unauthenticated_userid`` method. This method supports an important optimization required by people who are using persistent storages which do not support object caching and whom want to create a "user object" as a request attribute. - A new API has been added to the ``pyramid.security`` module named ``unauthenticated_userid``. This API function calls the ``unauthenticated_userid`` method of the effective security policy. - An ``unauthenticated_userid`` method has been added to the dummy authentication policy returned by ``pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_securitypolicy``. It returns the same thing as that the dummy authentication policy's ``authenticated_userid`` method. - The class ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktCookieHelper`` is now an API. This class can be used by third-party authentication policy developers to help in the mechanics of authentication cookie-setting. - New constructor argument to Configurator: ``default_view_mapper``. Useful to create systems that have alternate view calling conventions. A view mapper allows objects that are meant to be used as view callables to have an arbitrary argument list and an arbitrary result. The object passed as ``default_view_mapper`` should implement the ``pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapperFactory`` interface. - add a ``set_view_mapper`` API to Configurator. Has the same result as passing ``default_view_mapper`` to the Configurator constructor. - ``config.add_view`` now accepts a ``mapper`` keyword argument, which should either be ``None``, a string representing a Python dotted name, or an object which is an ``IViewMapperFactory``. This feature is not useful for "civilians", only for extension writers. - Allow static renderer provided during view registration to be overridden at request time via a request attribute named ``override_renderer``, which should be the name of a previously registered renderer. Useful to provide "omnipresent" RPC using existing rendered views. - Instances of ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now have a ``session`` object, which is mostly a dictionary, but also implements the other session API methods for flash and CSRF. Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - Since the ``pyramid.interfaces.IAuthenticationPolicy`` interface now specifies that a policy implementation must implement an ``unauthenticated_userid`` method, all third-party custom authentication policies now must implement this method. It, however, will only be called when the global function named ``pyramid.security.unauthenticated_userid`` is invoked, so if you're not invoking that, you will not notice any issues. - ``pyramid.interfaces.ISession.get_csrf_token`` now mandates that an implementation should return a *new* token if one doesn't already exist in the session (previously it would return None). The internal sessioning implementation has been changed. Documentation ------------- - The (weak) "Converting a CMF Application to Pyramid" tutorial has been removed from the tutorials section. It was moved to the ``pyramid_tutorials`` Github repository. - The "Resource Location and View Lookup" chapter has been replaced with a variant of Rob Miller's "Much Ado About Traversal" (originally published at http://blog.nonsequitarian.org/2010/much-ado-about-traversal/). - Many minor wording tweaks and refactorings (merged Casey Duncan's docs fork, in which he is working on general editing). - Added (weak) description of new view mapper feature to Hooks narrative chapter. - Split views chapter into 2: View Callables and View Configuration. - Reorder Renderers and Templates chapters after View Callables but before View Configuration. - Merge Session Objects, Cross-Site Request Forgery, and Flash Messaging chapter into a single Sessions chapter. - The Wiki and Wiki2 tutorials now have much nicer CSS and graphics. Internals --------- - The "view derivation" code is now factored into a set of classes rather than a large number of standalone functions (a side effect of the view mapper refactoring). - The ``pyramid.renderer.RendererHelper`` class has grown a ``render_view`` method, which is used by the default view mapper (a side effect of the view mapper refactoring). - The object passed as ``renderer`` to the "view deriver" is now an instance of ``pyramid.renderers.RendererHelper`` rather than a dictionary (a side effect of view mapper refactoring). - The class used as the "page template" in ``pyramid.chameleon_text`` was removed, in preference to using a Chameleon-inbuilt version. - A view callable wrapper registered in the registry now contains an ``__original_view__`` attribute which references the original view callable (or class). - The (non-API) method of all internal authentication policy implementations previously named ``_get_userid`` is now named ``unauthenticated_userid``, promoted to an API method. If you were overriding this method, you'll now need to override it as ``unauthenticated_userid`` instead. - Remove (non-API) function of config.py named _map_view. 1.0a8 (2010-12-27) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - The name ``registry`` was not available in the ``paster pshell`` environment under IPython. Features -------- - If a resource implements a ``__resource_url__`` method, it will be called as the result of invoking the ``pyramid.url.resource_url`` function to generate a URL, overriding the default logic. See the new "Generating The URL Of A Resource" section within the Resources narrative chapter. - Added flash messaging, as described in the "Flash Messaging" narrative documentation chapter. - Added CSRF token generation, as described in the narrative chapter entitled "Preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery Attacks". - Prevent misunderstanding of how the ``view`` and ``view_permission`` arguments to add_route work by raising an exception during configuration if view-related arguments exist but no ``view`` argument is passed. - Add ``paster proute`` command which displays a summary of the routing table. See the narrative documentation section within the "URL Dispatch" chapter entitled "Displaying All Application Routes". Paster Templates ---------------- - The ``pyramid_zodb`` Paster template no longer employs ZCML. Instead, it is based on scanning. Documentation ------------- - Added "Generating The URL Of A Resource" section to the Resources narrative chapter (includes information about overriding URL generation using ``__resource_url__``). - Added "Generating the Path To a Resource" section to the Resources narrative chapter. - Added "Finding a Resource by Path" section to the Resources narrative chapter. - Added "Obtaining the Lineage of a Resource" to the Resources narrative chapter. - Added "Determining if a Resource is In The Lineage of Another Resource" to Resources narrative chapter. - Added "Finding the Root Resource" to Resources narrative chapter. - Added "Finding a Resource With a Class or Interface in Lineage" to Resources narrative chapter. - Added a "Flash Messaging" narrative documentation chapter. - Added a narrative chapter entitled "Preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery Attacks". - Changed the "ZODB + Traversal Wiki Tutorial" based on changes to ``pyramid_zodb`` Paster template. - Added "Advanced Configuration" narrative chapter which documents how to deal with configuration conflicts, two-phase configuration, ``include`` and ``commit``. - Fix API documentation rendering for ``pyramid.view.static`` - Add "Pyramid Provides More Than One Way to Do It" to Design Defense documentation. - Changed "Static Assets" narrative chapter: clarify that ``name`` represents a prefix unless it's a URL, added an example of a root-relative static view fallback for URL dispatch, added an example of creating a simple view that returns the body of a file. - Move ZCML usage in Hooks chapter to Declarative Configuration chapter. - Merge "Static Assets" chapter into the "Assets" chapter. - Added narrative documentation section within the "URL Dispatch" chapter entitled "Displaying All Application Routes" (for ``paster proutes`` command). 1.0a7 (2010-12-20) ================== Terminology Changes ------------------- - The Pyramid concept previously known as "model" is now known as "resource". As a result: - The following API changes have been made:: pyramid.url.model_url -> pyramid.url.resource_url pyramid.traversal.find_model -> pyramid.url.find_resource pyramid.traversal.model_path -> pyramid.traversal.resource_path pyramid.traversal.model_path_tuple -> pyramid.traversal.resource_path_tuple pyramid.traversal.ModelGraphTraverser -> pyramid.traversal.ResourceTreeTraverser pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_models -> pyramid.config.Configurator.testing_resources pyramid.testing.registerModels -> pyramid.testing.registerResources pyramid.testing.DummyModel -> pyramid.testing.DummyResource - All documentation which previously referred to "model" now refers to "resource". - The ``starter`` and ``starter_zcml`` paster templates now have a ``resources.py`` module instead of a ``models.py`` module. - Positional argument names of various APIs have been changed from ``model`` to ``resource``. Backwards compatibility shims have been left in place in all cases. They will continue to work "forever". - The Pyramid concept previously known as "resource" is now known as "asset". As a result: - The (non-API) module previously known as ``pyramid.resource`` is now known as ``pyramid.asset``. - All docs that previously referred to "resource specification" now refer to "asset specification". - The following API changes were made:: pyramid.config.Configurator.absolute_resource_spec -> pyramid.config.Configurator.absolute_asset_spec pyramid.config.Configurator.override_resource -> pyramid.config.Configurator.override_asset - The ZCML directive previously known as ``resource`` is now known as ``asset``. - The setting previously known as ``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` (envvar) or ``reload_resources`` (config file) is now known, respectively, as ``PYRAMID_RELOAD_ASSETS`` and ``reload_assets``. Backwards compatibility shims have been left in place in all cases. They will continue to work "forever". Bug Fixes --------- - Make it possible to succesfully run all tests via ``nosetests`` command directly (rather than indirectly via ``python setup.py nosetests``). - When a configuration conflict is encountered during scanning, the conflict exception now shows the decorator information that caused the conflict. Features -------- - Added ``debug_routematch`` configuration setting that logs matched routes (including the matchdict and predicates). - The name ``registry`` is now available in a ``pshell`` environment by default. It is the application registry object. Environment ----------- - All environment variables which used to be prefixed with ``BFG_`` are now prefixed with ``PYRAMID_`` (e.g. ``BFG_DEBUG_NOTFOUND`` is now ``PYRAMID_DEBUG_NOTFOUND``) Documentation ------------- - Added "Debugging Route Matching" section to the urldispatch narrative documentation chapter. - Added reference to ``PYRAMID_DEBUG_ROUTEMATCH`` envvar and ``debug_routematch`` config file setting to the Environment narrative docs chapter. - Changed "Project" chapter slightly to expand on use of ``paster pshell``. - Direct Jython users to Mako rather than Jinja2 in "Install" narrative chapter. - Many changes to support terminological renaming of "model" to "resource" and "resource" to "asset". - Added an example of ``WebTest`` functional testing to the testing narrative chapter. - Rearranged chapter ordering by popular demand (URL dispatch first, then traversal). Put hybrid chapter after views chapter. - Split off "Renderers" as its own chapter from "Views" chapter in narrative documentation. Paster Templates ---------------- - Added ``debug_routematch = false`` to all paster templates. Dependencies ------------ - Depend on Venusian >= 0.5 (for scanning conflict exception decoration). 1.0a6 (2010-12-15) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - 1.0a5 introduced a bug when ``pyramid.config.Configurator.scan`` was used without a ``package`` argument (e.g. ``config.scan()`` as opposed to ``config.scan('packagename')``. The symptoms were: lots of deprecation warnings printed to the console about imports of deprecated Pyramid functions and classes and non-detection of view callables decorated with ``view_config`` decorators. This has been fixed. - Tests now pass on Windows (no bugs found, but a few tests in the test suite assumed UNIX path segments in filenames). Documentation ------------- - If you followed it to-the-letter, the ZODB+Traversal Wiki tutorial would instruct you to run a test which would fail because the view callable generated by the ``pyramid_zodb`` tutorial used a one-arg view callable, but the test in the sample code used a two-arg call. - Updated ZODB+Traversal tutorial setup.py of all steps to match what's generated by ``pyramid_zodb``. - Fix reference to ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` in "Models" chapter (point at ``pyramid_traversalwrapper`` instead). 1.0a5 (2010-12-14) ================== Features -------- - Add a ``handler`` ZCML directive. This directive does the same thing as ``pyramid.configuration.add_handler``. - A new module named ``pyramid.config`` was added. It subsumes the duties of the older ``pyramid.configuration`` module. - The new ``pyramid.config.Configurator` class has API methods that the older ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class did not: ``with_context`` (a classmethod), ``include``, ``action``, and ``commit``. These methods exist for imperative application extensibility purposes. - The ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` function now accepts an ``autocommit`` keyword argument, which defaults to ``True``. If it is passed ``False``, the Config object returned by ``setUp`` will be a non-autocommiting Config object. - Add logging configuration to all paster templates. - ``pyramid_alchemy``, ``pyramid_routesalchemy``, and ``pylons_sqla`` paster templates now use idiomatic SQLAlchemy configuration in their respective ``.ini`` files and Python code. - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now has a class variable, ``query_string``, which defaults to the empty string. - Add support for json on GAE by catching NotImplementedError and importing simplejson from django.utils. - The Mako renderer now accepts a resource specification for ``mako.module_directory``. - New boolean Mako settings variable ``mako.strict_undefined``. See `Mako Context Variables `_ for its meaning. Dependencies ------------ - Depend on Mako 0.3.6+ (we now require the ``strict_undefined`` feature). Bug Fixes --------- - When creating a Configurator from within a ``paster pshell`` session, you were required to pass a ``package`` argument although ``package`` is not actually required. If you didn't pass ``package``, you would receive an error something like ``KeyError: '__name__'`` emanating from the ``pyramid.path.caller_module`` function. This has now been fixed. - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template's unit tests failed (``AssertionError: 'SomeProject' != 'someproject'``). This is fixed. - Make default renderer work (renderer factory registered with no name, which is active for every view unless the view names a specific renderer). - The Mako renderer did not properly turn the ``mako.imports``, ``mako.default_filters``, and ``mako.imports`` settings into lists. - The Mako renderer did not properly convert the ``mako.error_handler`` setting from a dotted name to a callable. Documentation ------------- - Merged many wording, readability, and correctness changes to narrative documentation chapters from https://github.com/caseman/pyramid (up to and including "Models" narrative chapter). - "Sample Applications" section of docs changed to note existence of Cluegun, Shootout and Virginia sample applications, ported from their repoze.bfg origin packages. - SQLAlchemy+URLDispatch tutorial updated to integrate changes to ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` template. - Add ``pyramid.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` interface to Interfaces API chapter (has ``implementation()`` method, required to be used when getting at Chameleon macros). - Add a "Modifying Package Structure" section to the project narrative documentation chapter (explain turning a module into a package). - Documentation was added for the new ``handler`` ZCML directive in the ZCML section. Deprecations ------------ - ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` is now deprecated. Use ``pyramid.config.Configurator``, passing its constructor ``autocommit=True`` instead. The ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` alias will live for a long time, as every application uses it, but its import now issues a deprecation warning. The ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` class has the same API as ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class, which it means to replace, except by default it is a *non-autocommitting* configurator. The now-deprecated ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` will autocommit every time a configuration method is called. The ``pyramid.configuration`` module remains, but it is deprecated. Use ``pyramid.config`` instead. 1.0a4 (2010-11-21) ================== Features -------- - URL Dispatch now allows for replacement markers to be located anywhere in the pattern, instead of immediately following a ``/``. - URL Dispatch now uses the form ``{marker}`` to denote a replace marker in the route pattern instead of ``:marker``. The old colon-style marker syntax is still accepted for backwards compatibility. The new format allows a regular expression for that marker location to be used instead of the default ``[^/]+``, for example ``{marker:\d+}`` is now valid to require the marker to be digits. - Add a ``pyramid.url.route_path`` API, allowing folks to generate relative URLs. Calling ``route_path`` is the same as calling ``pyramid.url.route_url`` with the argument ``_app_url`` equal to the empty string. - Add a ``pyramid.request.Request.route_path`` API. This is a convenience method of the request which calls ``pyramid.url.route_url``. - Make test suite pass on Jython (requires PasteScript trunk, presumably to be 1.7.4). - Make test suite pass on PyPy (Chameleon doesn't work). - Surrounding application configuration with ``config.begin()`` and ``config.end()`` is no longer necessary. All paster templates have been changed to no longer call these functions. - Fix configurator to not convert ``ImportError`` to ``ConfigurationError`` if the import that failed was unrelated to the import requested via a dotted name when resolving dotted names (such as view dotted names). Documentation ------------- - SQLAlchemy+URLDispatch and ZODB+Traversal tutorials have been updated to not call ``config.begin()`` or ``config.end()``. Bug Fixes --------- - Add deprecation warnings to import of ``pyramid.chameleon_text`` and ``pyramid.chameleon_zpt`` of ``get_renderer``, ``get_template``, ``render_template``, and ``render_template_to_response``. - Add deprecation warning for import of ``pyramid.zcml.zcml_configure`` and ``pyramid.zcml.file_configure``. - The ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster template had a typo, preventing an import from working. - Fix apparent failures when calling ``pyramid.traversal.find_model(root, path)`` or ``pyramid.traversal.traverse(path)`` when ``path`` is (erroneously) a Unicode object. The user is meant to pass these APIs a string object, never a Unicode object. In practice, however, users indeed pass Unicode. Because the string that is passed must be ASCII encodeable, now, if they pass a Unicode object, its data is eagerly converted to an ASCII string rather than being passed along to downstream code as a convenience to the user and to prevent puzzling second-order failures from cropping up (all failures will occur within ``pyramid.traversal.traverse`` rather than later down the line as the result of calling e.g. ``traversal_path``). Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The ``pyramid.testing.zcml_configure`` API has been removed. It had been advertised as removed since repoze.bfg 1.2a1, but hadn't actually been. Deprecations ------------ - The ``pyramid.settings.get_settings`` API is now deprecated. Use ``pyramid.threadlocals.get_current_registry().settings`` instead or use the ``settings`` attribute of the registry available from the request (``request.registry.settings``). Documentation ------------- - Removed ``zodbsessions`` tutorial chapter. It's still useful, but we now have a SessionFactory abstraction which competes with it, and maintaining documentation on both ways to do it is a distraction. Internal -------- - Replace Twill with WebTest in internal integration tests (avoid deprecation warnings generated by Twill). 1.0a3 (2010-11-16) ================== Features -------- - Added Mako TemplateLookup settings for ``mako.error_handler``, ``mako.default_filters``, and ``mako.imports``. - Normalized all paster templates: each now uses the name ``main`` to represent the function that returns a WSGI application, each now uses WebError, each now has roughly the same shape of development.ini style. - Added class vars ``matchdict`` and ``matched_route`` to ``pyramid.request.Request``. Each is set to ``None``. - New API method: ``pyramid.settings.asbool``. - New API methods for ``pyramid.request.Request``: ``model_url``, ``route_url``, and ``static_url``. These are simple passthroughs for their respective functions in ``pyramid.url``. - The ``settings`` object which used to be available only when ``request.settings.get_settings`` was called is now available as ``registry.settings`` (e.g. ``request.registry.settings`` in view code). Bug Fixes --------- - The pylons_* paster templates erroneously used the ``{squiggly}`` routing syntax as the pattern supplied to ``add_route``. This style of routing is not supported. They were replaced with ``:colon`` style route patterns. - The pylons_* paster template used the same string (``your_app_secret_string``) for the ``session.secret`` setting in the generated ``development.ini``. This was a security risk if left unchanged in a project that used one of the templates to produce production applications. It now uses a randomly generated string. Documentation ------------- - ZODB+traversal wiki (``wiki``) tutorial updated due to changes to ``pyramid_zodb`` paster template. - SQLAlchemy+urldispach wiki (``wiki2``) tutorial updated due to changes to ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template. - Documented the ``matchdict`` and ``matched_route`` attributes of the request object in the Request API documentation. Deprecations ------------ - Obtaining the ``settings`` object via ``registry.{get|query}Utility(ISettings)`` is now deprecated. Instead, obtain the ``settings`` object via the ``registry.settings`` attribute. A backwards compatibility shim was added to the registry object to register the settings object as an ISettings utility when ``setattr(registry, 'settings', foo)`` is called, but it will be removed in a later release. - Obtaining the ``settings`` object via ``pyramid.settings.get_settings`` is now deprecated. Obtain it as the ``settings`` attribute of the registry now (obtain the registry via ``pyramid.threadlocal.get_registry`` or as ``request.registry``). Behavior Differences -------------------- - Internal: ZCML directives no longer call get_current_registry() if there's a ``registry`` attribute on the ZCML context (kill off use of threadlocals). - Internal: Chameleon template renderers now accept two arguments: ``path`` and ``lookup``. ``Lookup`` will be an instance of a lookup class which supplies (late-bound) arguments for debug, reload, and translate. Any third-party renderers which use (the non-API) function ``pyramid.renderers.template_renderer_factory`` will need to adjust their implementations to obey the new callback argument list. This change was to kill off inappropriate use of threadlocals. 1.0a2 (2010-11-09) ================== Documentation ------------- - All references to events by interface (e.g. ``pyramid.interfaces.INewRequest``) have been changed to reference their concrete classes (e.g. ``pyramid.events.NewRequest``) in documentation about making subscriptions. - All references to Pyramid-the-application were changed from mod-`pyramid` to app-`Pyramid`. A custom role setting was added to ``docs/conf.py`` to allow for this. (internal) 1.0a1 (2010-11-05) ================== Features (delta from BFG 1.3) ------------------------------- - Mako templating renderer supports resource specification format for template lookups and within Mako templates. Absolute filenames must be used in Pyramid to avoid this lookup process. - Add ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` module, which is a facade for the ``webob.exc`` module. - Direct built-in support for the Mako templating language. - A new configurator method exists: ``add_handler``. This method adds a Pylons-style "view handler" (such a thing used to be called a "controller" in Pylons 1.0). - New argument to configurator: ``session_factory``. - New method on configurator: ``set_session_factory`` - Using ``request.session`` now returns a (dictionary-like) session object if a session factory has been configured. - The request now has a new attribute: ``tmpl_context`` for benefit of Pylons users. - The decorator previously known as ``pyramid.view.bfg_view`` is now known most formally as ``pyramid.view.view_config`` in docs and paster templates. An import of ``pyramid.view.bfg_view``, however, will continue to work "forever". - New API methods in ``pyramid.session``: ``signed_serialize`` and ``signed_deserialize``. - New interface: ``pyramid.interfaces.IRendererInfo``. An object of this type is passed to renderer factory constructors (see "Backwards Incompatibilities"). - New event type: ``pyramid.interfaces.IBeforeRender``. An object of this type is sent as an event before a renderer is invoked (but after the application-level renderer globals factory added via ``pyramid.configurator.configuration.set_renderer_globals_factory``, if any, has injected its own keys). Applications may now subscribe to the ``IBeforeRender`` event type in order to introspect the and modify the set of renderer globals before they are passed to a renderer. The event object iself has a dictionary-like interface that can be used for this purpose. For example:: from repoze.events import subscriber from pyramid.interfaces import IRendererGlobalsEvent @subscriber(IRendererGlobalsEvent) def add_global(event): event['mykey'] = 'foo' If a subscriber attempts to add a key that already exist in the renderer globals dictionary, a ``KeyError`` is raised. This limitation is due to the fact that subscribers cannot be ordered relative to each other. The set of keys added to the renderer globals dictionary by all subscribers and app-level globals factories must be unique. - New class: ``pyramid.response.Response``. This is a pure facade for ``webob.Response`` (old code need not change to use this facade, it's existence is mostly for vanity and documentation-generation purposes). - All preexisting paster templates (except ``zodb``) now use "imperative" configuration (``starter``, ``routesalchemy``, ``alchemy``). - A new paster template named ``pyramid_starter_zcml`` exists, which uses declarative configuration. Documentation (delta from BFG 1.3) ----------------------------------- - Added a ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` API documentation chapter. - Added a ``pyramid.session`` API documentation chapter. - Added a ``Session Objects`` narrative documentation chapter. - Added an API chapter for the ``pyramid.personality`` module. - Added an API chapter for the ``pyramid.response`` module. - All documentation which previously referred to ``webob.Response`` now uses ``pyramid.response.Response`` instead. - The documentation has been overhauled to use imperative configuration, moving declarative configuration (ZCML) explanations to a separate narrative chapter ``declarative.rst``. - The ZODB Wiki tutorial was updated to take into account changes to the ``pyramid_zodb`` paster template. - The SQL Wiki tutorial was updated to take into account changes to the ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template. Backwards Incompatibilities (with BFG 1.3) ------------------------------------------ - There is no longer an ``IDebugLogger`` registered as a named utility with the name ``repoze.bfg.debug``. - The logger which used to have the name of ``repoze.bfg.debug`` now has the name ``pyramid.debug``. - The deprecated API ``pyramid.testing.registerViewPermission`` has been removed. - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.testing.registerRoutesMapper`` has been removed. - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.request.get_request`` was removed. - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.security.Unauthorized`` was removed. - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.view.view_execution_permitted`` was removed. - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.view.NotFound`` was removed. - The ``bfgshell`` paster command is now named ``pshell``. - The Venusian "category" for all built-in Venusian decorators (e.g. ``subscriber`` and ``view_config``/``bfg_view``) is now ``pyramid`` instead of ``bfg``. - ``pyramid.renderers.rendered_response`` function removed; use ``render_pyramid.renderers.render_to_response`` instead. - Renderer factories now accept a *renderer info object* rather than an absolute resource specification or an absolute path. The object has the following attributes: ``name`` (the ``renderer=`` value), ``package`` (the 'current package' when the renderer configuration statement was found), ``type``: the renderer type, ``registry``: the current registry, and ``settings``: the deployment settings dictionary. Third-party ``repoze.bfg`` renderer implementations that must be ported to Pyramid will need to account for this. This change was made primarily to support more flexible Mako template rendering. - The presence of the key ``repoze.bfg.message`` in the WSGI environment when an exception occurs is now deprecated. Instead, code which relies on this environ value should use the ``exception`` attribute of the request (e.g. ``request.exception[0]``) to retrieve the message. - The values ``bfg_localizer`` and ``bfg_locale_name`` kept on the request during internationalization for caching purposes were never APIs. These however have changed to ``localizer`` and ``locale_name``, respectively. - The default ``cookie_name`` value of the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML now defaults to ``auth_tkt`` (it used to default to ``repoze.bfg.auth_tkt``). - The default ``cookie_name`` value of the ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` constructor now defaults to ``auth_tkt`` (it used to default to ``repoze.bfg.auth_tkt``). - The ``request_type`` argument to the ``view`` ZCML directive, the ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator.add_view`` method, or the ``pyramid.view.view_config`` decorator (nee ``bfg_view``) is no longer permitted to be one of the strings ``GET``, ``HEAD``, ``PUT``, ``POST`` or ``DELETE``, and now must always be an interface. Accepting the method-strings as ``request_type`` was a backwards compatibility strategy servicing repoze.bfg 1.0 applications. Use the ``request_method`` parameter instead to specify that a view a string request-method predicate.
