A release of repoze.bfg 0.7.0 was placed in the "lemonade" index at http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev . This version fixes a few bugs and has one major backwards incompatibility, which is described below (as well as a method to preserve the old behavior):
0.7.0 (2009-04-11) ================== Bug Fixes --------- - Fix a bug in ``repoze.bfg.wsgi.HTTPException``: the content length was returned as an int rather than as a string. - Add explicit dependencies on ``zope.deferredimport``, ``zope.deprecation``, and ``zope.proxy`` for forward compatibility reasons (``zope.component`` will stop relying on ``zope.deferredimport`` soon and although we use it directly, it's only a transitive dependency, and ''zope.deprecation`` and ``zope.proxy`` are used directly even though they're only transitive dependencies as well). - Using ``model_url`` or ``model_path`` against a broken model graph (one with models that had a non-root model with a ``__name__`` of ``None``) caused an inscrutable error to be thrown: ( if not ``_must_quote[cachekey].search(s): TypeError: expected string or buffer``). Now URLs and paths generated against graphs that have None names in intermediate nodes will replace the None with the empty string, and, as a result, the error won't be raised. Of course the URL or path will still be bogus. Features -------- - Make it possible to have ``testing.DummyTemplateRenderer`` return some nondefault string representation. - Added a new ``anchor`` keyword argument to ``model_url``. If ``anchor`` is present, its string representation will be used as a named anchor in the generated URL (e.g. if ``anchor`` is passed as ``foo`` and the model URL is ``http://example.com/model/url``, the generated URL will be ``http://example.com/model/url#foo``). Backwards Incompatibilities --------------------------- - The default request charset encoding is now ``utf-8``. As a result, the request machinery will attempt to decode values from the utf-8 encoding to Unicode automatically when they are obtained via ``request.params``, ``request.GET``, and ``request.POST``. The previous behavior of BFG was to return a bytestring when a value was accessed in this manner. This change will break form handling code in apps that rely on values from those APIs being considered bytestrings. If you are manually decoding values from form submissions in your application, you'll either need to change the code that does that to expect Unicode values from ``request.params``, ``request.GET`` and ``request.POST``, or you'll need to explicitly reenable the previous behavior. To reenable the previous behavior, add the following to your application's ``configure.zcml``:: <subscriber for="repoze.bfg.interfaces.INewRequest" handler="repoze.bfg.request.make_request_ascii"/> See also the documentation in the "Views" chapter of the BFG docs entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and Character Set Issues)". Documentation ------------- - Add a section to the narrative Views chapter entitled "Using Views to Handle Form Submissions (Unicode and Character Set Issues)" explaining implicit decoding of form data values. _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
