from what I can see it pushes further variuos uses of the "old" functions "from gluon.html import verifyURL" to verify the hashed URL and URL(hmac_key='...') to generate the hashed one. Basically it's a method that "appends" a variable (as "_signature=djhdsajhdasjhdasjhdas" parameter in the URL) to allow only the designated user access the specified URL. (nice for protecting some ajax calls, for example ^_^)
