- Date headers are now returned as :py
datetime.datetime
objects instead of strings.
- This release includes a new router architecture for improved performance and flexibility.
- A custom router can now be specified when instantiating the :py
API
class. - URI templates can now include multiple parameterized fields within a single path segment.
- Falcon now supports reading and writing cookies.
- Falcon now supports Jython 2.7.
- A method for getting a query param as a date was added to the :py
Request
class. - Date headers are now returned as :py
datetime.datetime
objects. - A default value can now be specified when calling :py
Request.get_param
. This provides an alternative to using the pattern:: value = req.get_param(name) or default_value - Friendly constants for status codes were added (e.g., :py
falcon.HTTP_NO_CONTENT
vs. :pyfalcon.HTTP_204
.) - Several minor performance optimizations were made to the code base.
- The query string parser was modified to improve handling of percent-encoded data.
- Several errors in the documentation were corrected.
- The :py
six

until version 1.4.0.
