• Fixed paster shell breaking for projects where the base package was
  not
  the first package listed in top_level.txt. Patch from Alberto
  Valverde.
  Fixes #229.
• Fixed doc references to config['app_conf']. Fixes #116.
• Changed `get_engine_conf` to properly evaluate sqlalchemy echo
  statement
  when its 'debug'. Fixes #226.
• make_session and create_engine now accept keyword arguments to pass to
  SQLAlchemy's create_engine.
• make_session now accepts the keyword argument 'session_kwargs' to pass
  to SQLAlchemy's create_session.
• Fixed _inspect_call to call function with keyword arguments instead
  of list
  args. Corrects issue with action defaults that caused the value
  for the
  latter args to be in the wrong spots. Spotted by Topher. Fixes #223.
• Added the allow_none option (passed to xmlrpc.dumps) to
  XMLRPCController.
  Suggested by Jaroslaw Zabiello.
• Updated XMLRPC Controller with patch for name lookup and additional
  unit
  tests for the patch. Fixes #216.
• Updated docs for validate decorator to more clearly illustrate what
  the
  post_only args apply to. Fixes #221.
• Added ability to return strings in the WSGIController. Fixes #218.
• Added lazy i18n translation functions. Patch from David Smith.
  Fixes #181.
• Added fix for XMLRPCController system.methodHelp function and unit
  test.
  Patch and unit test submitted by Graham Higgins.
• Fixed bug in validate decorator with new UnicodeMultiDict response
  content
  not properly retaining form content as unicode for formencode's
  htmlfill.
• Fixed bug in XMLRPC Controller with xmlrpclib Faults not being
  properly
  transformed into a WSGI response within the controller.
• WARNING: Pylons now requires the decorator module: it no longer
  packages
  it as pylons.decorator. Code relying on the
  pylons.decorator.decorator
  function will trigger a deprecation warning and should be changed
  to use
  decorator.decorator.
• WARNING: pylons.h was deprecated for using projects' lib.helpers
  module
  directly in 0.9.3. pylons.h is now formally deprecated (emits
  DeprecationWarnings). Projects still accessing pylons.h must
  change the
  following import:
  from pylons import h
  to:
  import MYPROJ.lib.helpers as h
• pylons.jsonify and pylons.Controller references have been deprecated
  (they are misplaced references). They continue to be available at
  pylons.decorators.jsonify and pylons.controllers.Controller, as
  they always
  have been.
• Updated templating Buffet to recognize format parameter and
  properly pass it
  to the template engine.
• Updated LICENSE for new year and to indicate license covering
  templates
  generated. Fixes #188.
• Interactive debugger now supports Mako. After r1780 if you are using a
  custom theme you will need to change '%(myghty_data)s' to
  '%(template_data)s' in your template. If you are using JavaScript
  the tab
  id is now "template_data".
• Fixed bug in WSGIController with private function attempts not
  returning a
  valid WSGI response.
• Added full unit test coverage of cache decorator.
• Adding messages binary file, enabling i18n unit tests. Updating
  pylons.i18n
  to import LanguageError. Fixes #193.
• Adding i18n tests, not active yet as they're waiting on a binary
  file from a
  patch. Refs #193.
• Updated tests so that they now work with nose, removing py.test
  requirement.
• Switching config setup to load keys into main config dict with
  app_conf and
  global_conf keys set for any code looking for those keys. Fixes #116.
• PylonsInstaller is now the default paste.app_install entry point
  for new
  projects: this makes Cheetah no longer required for the paster
  make-config
  command. (Thanks Alexander Schremmer, Ian Bicking)
• Added custom redirect_to function in pylons.helpers that will take an
  optional _response arg to pull headers and cookies out for
  preservation
  during a redirect. Fixes #136.
• Changed config.Config._init_ to take all options as keyword args so
  unused args can be skipped. Fixes #162.
• The request object can now automatically decode GET/POST/params
  vars to
  unicode, when its charset attribute is set.
• Added a new request_settings keyword arg to Config's constructor.
  Allows
  setting the default charset and errors values of of the request
  object.
• Deprecated Config constructor's default_charset keyword arg. Use
  Config's
  response_settings keyword arg instead.
• Fixed paster controller to test for lib.base and only add that import
  statement when its present. This fixes the controller template
  when used with
  minimal Pylons project templates. Fixes #140 and fixes #139.
• Fixed the paster shell error: KeyError: 'pylons.routes_dict' when
  calling
  app.get and app.post.
• Fixed paster shell not working on projects with names containing
  hyphens.
• Fixed the config directive 'sqlalchemy.echo' set to False being
  interpreted
  as True. Patch by Alex Conrad.
• Fixed paster shell not restoring CONFIG['global_conf'].

• Fixed matching so that an attempt to match an empty path raises a
  RouteException. Fixes #44.
• Added ability to use characters in URL's such as '-' and '_' in
  map.resource. Patch by Wyatt Baldwin. Fixes #45.
• Updated Mapper.resource handling with name_prefix and path_prefix
  checking
  to specify defaults. Also ensures that should either of them be
  set, they
  override the prefixes should parent_resource be specified. Patch
  by Wyatt
  Baldwin. Fixes #42.
• Added utf-8 decoding of incoming path arguments, with fallback to
  ignoring
  them in the very rare cases a malformed request URL is sent. Patch
  from
  David Smith.
• Fixed treatment of '#' character as something that can be left off and
  used in route paths. Found by Mike Orr.
• Added ability to specify parent resource to map.resource command.
  Patch from
  Wyatt Baldwin.
• Fixed formatted route issue with map.resource when additional
  collection
  methods are specified. Added unit tests to verify the collection
  methods
  work properly.
• Updated URL parsing to properly use HTTP_HOST for hostname + port
  info before
  falling back to SERVER_PORT and SERVER_NAME. Fixes #43.
• Added member_name and collection_name setting to Route object when
  made with
  map.resource.
• Updated routes.middleware to make the Routes matched accessible as
  environ['routes.route'].
• Updating mapper object to use thread local for request data (such as
  environ) and middleware now deletes environ references at the end
  of the
  request.
• Added explicit option to Routes and Mapper. Routes _explicit
  setting will
  prevent the Route defaults from being implicitly set, while
  setting Mapper
  to explicit will prevent Route implicit defaults and stop url_for
  from using
  Route memory. Fixes #38.
• Updated config object so that the route is attached if possible.
• Adding standard logging usage with debug messages.
• Added additional test for normal '.' match and fixed new special
  matching to
  match it properly. Thanks David Smith.
• Fixed hanging special char issue with 'special' URL chars at the
  end of a URL
  that are missing the variable afterwards.
• Changed Routes generation and recognition to handle other 'special'
  URL chars
  , . and ; as if they were /. This lets them be optionally left out
  of the
  resulting generated URL. Feature requested by David Smith.
• Fixed lookahead assertion in regexp builder to properly handle two
  grouped
  patterns in a row.
• Applied patch to generation and matching to handle Unicode characters
  properly. Reported with patch by David Smith.

• WARNING: paginate now takes arguments intended for the collection
  object as
  query_args. This could affect backwards compatibility. This fixes
  a common
  issue that non-keyword arguments passed into paginate get eaten by
  paginate's
  keyword arguments instead of being in *args to go on to the
  collection.
• Added environ checking with Routes so that page will be
  automatically pulled
  out of the query string, or from the Routes match dict if available.
• Added ability for paginate to check for objects that had SQLAlchemy's
  assign_mapper applied to them.
• Added better range checking to paginator to require a positive
  value that is
  less than the total amount of pages available for a page.
• WARNING: Due to a typo, the Text helper highlight function no longer
  highlights text with the CSS class name 'hilight' by default: it
  now uses the
  CSS class name 'highlight' instead. The function's 'hilighter'
  keyword
  argument has also been deprecated, use 'highlighter' instead.
• Fixed the broken markdown function.
• Upgraded markdown from 1.5 to 1.6a.
• Sync'd Prototype helper to 6057.
• Sync'd Urls helper to 6070.
• Sync'd Text helper to 6096.
• Sync'd Date helper to 6080.
• Sync'd Tags helper to 5857.
• Sync'd Asset tag helper to 6057.
• Sync'd Rails Number helper to 6045.
• Updated Ajax commands to internally use 'with_' to avoid name
  conflicts with
  Python 2.5 and beyond. Reported by anilj. Fixes #190.
• Applied patch from David Smith to decode URL parts as Routes does.
  Fixes #186.
• Changed pagination to give better response if its passed an invalid
  object.
  Patch from Christoph Haas.
• Fixed scriptaculous helper docs example. Fixes #178.
• Updated scriptaculous/prototype to Prototype 1.5.0 and
  Scriptaculous 1.7.0.
• Updated scriptaculous javascripts to 1.6.5. Fixes #155.
• Updated remote_function doc-string to more clearly indicate the
  arguments
  it can receive.
• Synced Rails Javascript helper to 5245 (escape_javascript now escaping
  backslashes and allow passing html_options to javascript_tag).

• In ``paste.httpserver`` remove the reverse DNS lookup to set
  ``REMOTE_HOST``

• In ``paste.fileapp``, if the client sends both If-None-Match and
  If-Modified-Since, prefer If-None-Match. Make ETags include the
  size as well as last modified timestamp. Make it possible to
  override how mimetypes are guessed.

• ``HTTPException`` objects now have a ``exc.response(environ)``
  method that returns a ``WSGIResponse`` object.

• ``egg:Paste#watch_threads`` will show tracebacks of each thread
  under Python 2.5.

• Made ``paste.util.template`` trim whitespace around statements that
  are on their own line.

• ``paste.fileapp.DataApp`` now accepts ``allowed_headers=[...]`` to
  specify the allowed headers. By default only ``GET`` and ``HEAD``
  are allowed.

• Added ``paste.util.import_string.try_import_module``, which imports
  modules and catches ``ImportError``, but only if it's an error
  importing the specific module, not an uncaught ``ImportError`` in
  the module being imported.

1.3.3

• Fixed problem with ``paster serve`` on Windows. Also on Windows,
  fixed issue with executables with spaces in their names (this case
  requires the ``win32all`` module).

• You can use ``dot`` in your project template filenames,
  specifically so that you can use leading dots in the filename.
  Usually leading dots cause the file to be ignored. So if you want
  to have new projects contain a ``.cvsignore`` file, you can put a
  ``+dot+cvsignore`` file in your template.

• Relatedly, ``plus`` has been added so you can include pluses.

1.3.2

• ``paster`` was largely broken under Windows; fixed.

1.3.1

• Fix related to Python 2.5 (when there are errors creating files, you
  could get infinite recursion under Python 2.5).

• Use ``subprocess`` module in ``paster serve`` command. Added
  ``--monitor`` option which will restart the server if it exits.

• The ``exe`` command now does % substitution in keys (e.g.,
  ``pid_file=%(here)s/paste.pid``).

• Some import problems with Cheetah should be improved.

1.3
—

• Fixed an exception being raised when shutting down flup servers using
  sockets.

• Fixed the CherryPy 3 WSGI server entry point's handling of SIGHUP
  and SIGTERM.

• The CherryPy wsgiserver is now available at
  ``paste.script.wsgiserver`` (no longer requiring CherryPy to be
  installed).

• Added entry point for twisted server.

• Made ``paste.script.pluginlib:egg_info_dir`` work with packages that
  put the ``Package.egg-info/`` directory in a subdirectory (typically
  ``src/``).

• Remove Cheetah requirement. Packages using Cheetah templates should
  require Cheetah themselves. If you are using ``paster make-config``
  and you don't want to use Cheetah, you must add ``use_cheetah =
  False`` to your ``Installer`` subclass (it defaults to true for
  backward compatibility).

• Make scripts work when there is no ``setup.py`` (if you aren't
  making a Python/setuptools package).

• When using ``paste.script.copydir.copy_dir`` (as with most ``paster
  create`` templates), you can raise ``SkipTemplate`` (or call the
  ``skip_template()`` function) which will cause the template to be
  skipped. You can use this to conditionally include files.

• When using ``paster serve c:/...``, it should no longer confuse
  ``c:`` with a scheme (such as ``config:`` or ``egg:``).

• More careful about catching import errors in ``websetup``, so if you
  have a bug in your ``app.websetup`` module it won't swallow it.
