Next release
============
Bug Fixes
---------
- Forward port from 1.3 branch: When no authentication policy was configured,
a call to ``pyramid.security.effective_principals`` would unconditionally
return the empty list. This was incorrect, it should have unconditionally
returned ``[Everyone]``, and now does.
- Explicit url dispatch regexes can now contain colons.
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/629
- On at least one 64-bit Ubuntu system under Python 3.2, using the
``view_config`` decorator caused a ``RuntimeError: dictionary changed size
during iteration`` exception. It no longer does. See
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/635 for more information.
- In Mako Templates lookup, check if the uri is already adjusted and bring
it back to an asset spec. Normally occurs with inherited templates or
included components.

https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/607
- In Mako Templates lookup, check for absolute uri (using mako directories)
when mixing up inheritance with asset specs.
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/662
- HTTP Accept headers were not being normalized causing potentially
conflicting view registrations to go unnoticed. Two views that only
differ in the case ('text/html' vs. 'text/HTML') will now raise an error.
https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/620
- Configurator.add_directive now accepts arbitrary callables like partials or
objects implementing ``__call__`` which dont have ``__name__`` and
``__doc__`` attributes. See https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/621
and https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/pull/647.
- Forward-port from 1.3 branch: when registering multiple views with an
``accept`` predicate in a Pyramid application runing under Python 3, you
might have received a ``TypeError: unorderable types: function() <
function()`` exception.
Features
--------
- Third-party custom view, route, and subscriber predicates can now be added
for use by view authors via
``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view_predicate``,
``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route_predicate`` and
``pyramid.config.Configurator.add_subscriber_predicate``. So, for example,
doing this::
config.add_view_predicate('abc', my.package.ABCPredicate)
Might allow a view author to do this in an application that configured that
predicate::
@view_config(abc=1)
Similar features exist for ``add_route``, and ``add_subscriber``. See
"Adding A Third Party View, Route, or Subscriber Predicate" in the Hooks
chapter for more information.
Note that changes made to support the above feature now means that only
actions registered using the same "order" can conflict with one another.
It used to be the case that actions registered at different orders could
potentially conflict, but to my knowledge nothing ever depended on this
behavior (it was a bit silly).
- Custom objects can be made easily JSON-serializable in Pyramid by defining
a ``__json__`` method on the object's class. This method should return
values natively serializable by ``json.dumps`` (such as ints, lists,
dictionaries, strings, and so forth).
- The JSON renderer now allows for the definition of custom type adapters to
convert unknown objects to JSON serializations.
- As of this release, the ``request_method`` predicate, when used, will also
imply that ``HEAD`` is implied when you use ``GET``. For example, using
``@view_config(request_method='GET')`` is equivalent to using
``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'HEAD'))``. Using
``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'POST')`` is equivalent to using
``@view_config(request_method=('GET', 'HEAD', 'POST')``. This is because
HEAD is a variant of GET that omits the body, and WebOb has special support
to return an empty body when a HEAD is used.
- ``config.set_request_method`` has been introduced to support extending
request objects with arbitrary callables. This method expands on the
previous ``config.set_request_property`` by supporting methods as well as
properties. This method now causes less code to be executed at
request construction time than ``config.set_request_property`` in
version 1.3.
- Don't add a ``?`` to URLs generated by ``request.resource_url`` if the
``query`` argument is provided but empty.
- Don't add a ``?`` to URLs generated by ``request.route_url`` if the
``_query`` argument is provided but empty.
- The static view machinery now raises (rather than returns) ``HTTPNotFound``
and ``HTTPMovedPermanently`` exceptions, so these can be caught by the
NotFound view (and other exception views).
- The Mako renderer now accepts a def name in an asset spect. When the def
name is present in the asset spec, the system will render the template def
within the template and will return the result. An example asset spec is
``package:path/to/template#defname.mako``. This will render the def named
``defname`` inside the ``template.pt`` package instead of rendering the
entire template. The old way of returning a tuple from the view is
supported for backward compatibility, ('defname', {}).
- The Chameleon ZPT renderer now accepts a macro name in an asset spec. When
the macro name is present in the asset spec, the system will render the
macro listed as a ``define-macro`` and return the result instead of
rendering the entire template. An example asset spec:
``package:path/to/template#macroname.pt``. This will render the macro
defined as ``macroname`` within the ``template.pt`` template instead of the
entire templae.
- When there is a predicate mismatch exception (seen when no view matches for
a given request due to predicates not working), the exception now contains
a textual description of the predicate which didn't match.
- An ``add_permission`` directive method was added to the Configurator. This
directive registers a free-standing permission introspectable into the
Pyramid introspection system. Frameworks built atop Pyramid can thus use
the the ``permissions`` introspectable category data to build a
comprehensive list of permissions supported by a running system. Before
this method was added, permissions were already registered in this
introspectable category as a side effect of naming them in an ``add_view``
call, this method just makes it possible to arrange for a permission to be
put into the ``permissions`` introspectable category without naming it
along with an associated view. Here's an example of usage of
``add_permission``::
config = Configurator()
config.add_permission('view')
- The ``UnencryptedCookieSessionFactoryConfig`` now accepts
``signed_serialize`` and ``signed_deserialize`` hooks which may be used
to influence how the sessions are marshalled (by default this is done
with HMAC+pickle).
Deprecations
------------
- The ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_property`` has been
documentation-deprecated. The method remains usable but the more
featureful ``pyramid.config.Configurator.set_request_method`` should be
used in its place (it has all of the same capabilities but can also extend
the request object with methods).
