Version 2.5.1 - February 07, 2012
---------------------------------
- Bug fix release related to request charset in old versions of
	WebOb.

Version 2.5 - February 01, 2012
-------------------------------

Version 2.4 - January 23, 2012
------------------------------
- Maintenance release. Fixed outstanding bugs related to App Engine.
- Removed webapp2_extras/protorpc, broken since webapp2 was added
	to App Engine.


Version 2.3 - August 24, 2011
-----------------------------
- webapp2.Response.out creates a reference loop that impedes garbage
	collection. Changing it to a property fixed this (Issue #15).
- webapp2_extras.i18n:
	- When in debug mode, translations are not cached, so compiling new
		translations make them readily available (Issue #13).
- webapp2_extras.auth:
	- ATTENTION: auth_id is no longer converted to lower case to retrieve
		a key or save a new user in webapp2_extras.appengine.auth.models.User.
		This is a more general approach, as not all systems use case-insensitive
		user ids. If you want case-insensitive auth ids, convert them to lower
		case before passing auth ids to the auth module (Issue #14).
	- If user data is missing attributes, don't raise AssertionError.
		Simply don't save or return a valid session, instead.
	- call user_model.get_id() instead of the ndb-specific user.key.id().
	- removed set_password_validator() and set_token_validator().
		They add complexity to the API without a use case to justify.
		Extend AuthStore to achieve the same thing.


Version 2.2.3 - August 6, 2011
------------------------------
- Version 2.2.2 missed the webapp2_extras.appengine package.

- get_app() and get_request() now test that app and request are set, to avoid
	hard to debug stack traces when they are not and the local proxy is used.


Version 2.2.2 - August 5, 2011 (more 2's than ever!)
----------------------------------------------------
- A default charset is always set in the Request object: if it is not defined
	in the constructor, environ['CONTENT_TYPE'] is checked; and if it is still
	not defined 'utf-8' is used.

- Added token_model as an attribute of the User model; it is used instead of
	the hardcoded class.


Version 2.2.1 - August 1st, 2011
--------------------------------
- Fixed a bug in WSGIApplication.run() when running outside of App Engine:
	CGIHandler().run(app) -> CGIHandler().run(self). (issue 9)


Version 2.2 - July 30, 2011
===========================
- Revised webapp2_extras.auth and simplified User model, by Kyle Finley.
	Thanks!


Version 2.1 - July 29, 2011
===========================
- Added webapp2_extras.auth: high-level utilities for authentication and
	authorization.

- Added webapp2_extras.appengine.auth.models: default model implementations
	for webapp2_extras.auth (can be overridden).

- Added webapp2_extras.appengine.ndb.unique_model: a model to store unique
	values. This was added mainly so that the default user model can have
	multiple unique properties.

- import_string() now displays useful debug information when it fails.

- To make things clearly separated specially for those using webapp2
	outside of App Engine, from now on all App Engine-specific modules will
	be placed in webapp2_extras.appengine. Also three modules were moved to
	the new package:

	- webapp2_extras.sessions_memcache
	- webapp2_extras.sessions_ndb
	- webapp2_extras.users

	The original modules were not removed, though: they will be kept in the same
	place for compatibility purposes, just importing their stuff from the new
	locations.

- Config.load_config() now makes a copy of the configuration when user_values
	are passed. That keyword is meant to override app configuration, so the
	previous behavior was actually wrong. This is a side feature not used inside
	webapp2 or even well documented so the change should not affect existing
	apps.


Version 2.0.2 - July 18, 2011
=============================
- cached_property now uses threading.RLock for thread-safety.


Version 2.0.1 - July 17, 2011
=============================
- Little fix: use google.appengine.ext.webapp.util if available, like before.


Version 2.0 - July 17, 2011
===========================
- Added support for the (not yet released) App Engine Python 2.7 SDK.

- Deprecated webapp2_extras.local_app. WSGIApplication is now thread-safe
	by default when webapp2_extras.local is available.
	webapp2_extras.local_app.WSGIApplication can still be imported, but it is
	just an alias to webapp2.WSGIApplication (and a deprecation warning is
	emitted when it is imported).

- Like DomainRoute, PathPrefixRoute now only tests the nested routes if the
	prefix matches. So now it is not only convenient but matches smartly and
	faster. ;)

- Added webapp2_extras.security, with security related helpers such as secure
	password hashing tools.

- webapp2_extras.sessions:
	- Now uses webapp2_extras.security.create_token() to generate session IDs
		instead of uuid.
	- Added 'backends' configuration: get_session() can now be called passing
		a more convenient 'backend' key. Default ones are 'securecookie',
		'datastore' and 'memcache'.

- get_build_routes() now yields (name, route) instead of simply route. This
	will allow routes with nested routes to act as a proxy to build URIs.

- webapp2.urlunsplit() was removed from the public API.

- Variables names in routes must now look like python identifiers -
	this means that they can no longer start with a number, like before.

- Removed support for _anchor in uri_for() -- the documented keyword is
	_fragment.

- Removed support for handler functions receiving (request, response). The
	correct arguments for function handlers are (request, *args, **kwargs).

- webapp2_extras.json:
	- Fixed an issue with importing json on non-GAE environments (missing
		absolute import).
	- Now imports simplejson directly instead of using the one from Django,
		since it is now included in the App Engine SDK (since version 1.4.2).

- Added WSGIApplication.clear_globals(). Instead of
	app.set_globals(app=None, request=None), use app.clear_globals().


Version 1.8.1 - June 29, 2011
=============================
- Implemented an adapter mechanism to dispatch different kind of handlers:
	webapp.RequestHandler, webapp2.RequestHandler and "view functions".
	Instead of monkeypatching handlers (adding a 'factory' attribute),
	handlers are wrapped by adapters that do the appropriate dispatch.
	How handlers are adapted can be overridden using the convenience method
	``set_adapter()`` from the Router class, but the common cases are covered.

- Function views now conveniently receive (request, *args, **kwargs), like
	in Django. The previous arguments will work, but they are now deprecated
	and will not be supported in the future. This is a major incompatibility
	with previous versions but it feels a lot better than the previous
	(request, response) behavior, as adapters make it easy to have custom
	dispatch arguments using a unified API.
	The webapp2.RequestHandler class remain unchanged and is instantiated with
	(request, response).


Version 1.8 - June 26, 2011
===========================
- webap2_extras.i18n: the functions passed to I18nStore.set_locale_selector()
	and I18nStore.set_timezone_selector() now receive (store, request) instead of
	(request, store), for consistency with the router custom callables.

- webap2_extras.json:
	- json is imported first trying direct simplejson, then built-in json
		(for Python >= 2.6), then the one from django.utils (for App Engine).
	- All convenience functions now receive *args, **kwargs to be passed to
		encode()/decode().

- Added webapp2_extras.mako.

- Added webapp2.redirect_to.

- Added Request.blank() parameters compatible with WebOb >= 1.0: POST and
	**kwargs.

- Increased compatibility with wsgiref.headers.Headers, used by
	webapp.Response.


Version 1.7.5 - June 20, 2011
=============================
- Implemented methods from ``wsgiref.headers.Headers``, used by
	webapp.Response.headers.


Version 1.7.4 - June 19, 2011
=============================
- Fixed bug in response.status_message.


Version 1.7.3 - June 17, 2011
=============================
- Routes can now only match specific schemes, e.g., 'http' or 'https'.

- Added a tutorial to use webapp2 outside of App Engine.


Version 1.7.2 - June 16, 2011
=============================
- Response is now compatible with latest WebOb.

- Increased Response compatibility with webapp, implementing wsgi_write() and
	has_error().

- Changed some status messages to be the same as webapp:
	- 203: 'Non-Authoritative Information'
	- 302: 'Moved Temporarily'
	- 306: 'Unused'
	- 408: 'Request Time-out'
	- 414: 'Request-URI Too Large'
	- 504: 'Gateway Time-out'
	- 505: 'HTTP Version not supported'

- Copied Request from webapp, so that when using webapp2 outside of the SDK
	they are the same.

- Routes now match the Request path unquoted. See App Engine issue #2636
	for an explanation.


Version 1.7.1 - June 14, 2011
=============================
- Added standalone redirect() function.

- RequestHandler.redirect and redirect_to now return a response object.

- Fixed: multiple routes that define methods are tried before MethodNotAllowed
	is raised.

- Updated webapp2_extras.protorpc to work with latest ProtoRPC.


Version 1.7 - June 4, 2011
==========================
- Added a simple configuration object for WSGIapplication, available in the
	config attribute. Extras modules that use configuration (i18n, jinja2,
	sessions) don't require app.config to be set manually anymore. Still, the
	`secret_key` key config for sessions, if not defined, will result in an
	exception.

- Deprecated webapp2_extras.config, replaced by the simpler app dict.

- Router no longer receives app on construction, for consistency with the
	config object. App is set as global before router is initialized.

- Fixed a bug in webapp2_extras.sessions that made it not save the session
	when it was empty (like when flashes are popped).

- Added standalone uri_for function, to be used in templates.


Version 1.6.3 - June 3, 2011
============================
- Added webap2_extras.local_app, with the WSGIApplication previously in
	webap2_extras.local. This allows using LocalProxy on App Engine, without
	actually monkeypatching the WSGI app for threaded environments.

- Route now raises exc.HTTPMethodNotAllowed if methods are set and the request
	method doesn't match.

- Router.default_matcher() now raises exc.HTTPNotFound if no route matches.


Version 1.6.2 - May 30, 2011
============================
- WSGIApplication.__call__ checks if the dispatcher didn't return None to
	accept the returned value as a response. Previously it checked if it was an
	instance of Response.

- To support returned response, RequestHandler.dispatch() returns the result of
	the dispatched method.

Version 1.6.1 - May 30, 2011
============================
- Fixed an indentation bug in webapp2_extras.users.

- Added back _to_utf8() to convert values for import_string() and urlunsplit().

- Added WSGIApplication.get_response(), a convenience for unit tests.


Version 1.6 - May 29, 2011
==========================
- Handlers registered in WSGIApplication.error_handlers can now also be a
	string to be lazily imported.

- The request object now has the active response available as an attribute:
	request.response.

- Added a factory method to RequestHandler, to better deal with libraries that
	use a custom webapp.RequestHandler constructors (like ProtoRPC).

- Added set_dispatcher() to Router, to set extended dispatching.

- Handlers and error handlers can now return a response object, which will be
	used instead of the default response created by the WSGI app. This allows
	webapp2 to be used following the common pattern of handlers that return a
	response, instead of the webapp way of a handler that writes to an existing
	response.

- Request.Handler.redirect() now can receive a `code` parameter, to set the
	status code. This is preferable than the `permanent` parameter, kept for
	compatibility with webapp.

- webapp2 is now a file webapp2.py, instead of a package with a __init__.py
	file.

- API cleanup:
	- Removed WSGIApplication.url_for(), to_unicode(), to_utf8().
	- RequestHandler.url_for was renamed to uri_for, with url_for kept
		as an alias.
	- Renamed webapp2_extras.routes.ImprovedRoute to RedirectRoute, as it
		basically adds redirect conveniences.
	- For consistency with uri building parameters, RedirectHandler parameters
		are now prefixed with a underscore: `url` becomes `_uri` and `permanent`
		becomes `_permanent`. A parameter `_code` was added to set status code.
	- Router.do_match and do_build renamed to default_matcher and
		default_dispatcher.
	- URI building accepts a _fragment argument, with _anchor as fallback.


Version 1.5 - May 16, 2011
==========================
- Added webapp2_extras.local, with an extended WSGIApplication that uses
	thread-local for globals and so can be used outside of App Engine.

- Added webapp2_extras.protorpc, with support for Google ProtoRPC.

- Added set_matcher() and set_builder() to Router, to set extended matcher and
	builder.

- Routes now return the route on match() or routes with nested routes cannot
	work. So instead of returning (args, kwargs) they return
	(route, args, kwargs).

- Now handlers only receive **args if no named variables are set. Otherwise,
	they only receive **kwargs. This allows users to use regexes that are not
	intended to be captured, mixing named and unnamed variables.

- DomainRoute now uses the same syntax used by webapp2.Route, instead of a
	regex. The resulting keywords are added to the mathed route **kwargs.
	This gives control of what is passed to the handler if a domain/subdomain
	matches, and allows to not pass anything if no regex groups are defined.

- Several small bugs fixed and increased test coverage in webapp2_extras.


Version 1.3 - May 9, 2011
=========================
- Added webapp2_extras modules:
	- webapp2_extras.i18n: internationalization support.
	- webapp2_extras.sessions_memcache: memcache based sessions.
	- webapp2_extras.sessions_ndb: datastore based sessions.
- Several api improvements in webapp2_extras.


Version 1.2 - May 6, 2011
=========================
- Removed Config from webapp2 core. It is now part of the new "webapp2_extras"
	package.
- Added the package webapp2_extras. These are all optional modules that
	complement webapp2 with common functionalities. Currently they include:
	- webapp2_extras.config: Configuration object.
	- webapp2_extras.jinja2: Support for Jinja2 templating.
	- webapp2_extras.json: JSON utilities.
	- webapp2_extras.routes: Extended route classes.
	- webapp2_extras.securecookie: Signed cookie serializer.
	- webapp2_extras.sessions: Sessions support.


Version 1.1 - May 5, 2011
=========================
- Simplified routing with an unified dispatch method for classes and functions.


Version 1.0 - May 1st, 2011
===========================
This is a major refactoring with some incompatible changes, mostly internal
stuff that won't be noticed in common usage.

- Changed signature of RequestHandler's constructor: it now receives only
	(request, response) instead of (app, request, response).

- Added RequestContext class, which should help testing.

- Added .app attribute to Request, a reference to the active app.

- Refactored routing scheme:
	- Now also supports function views besides classes.
	- Now also supports normal functions as exception handlers, and exception
		handlers don't need to be a subclass RequestHandler (but still can).
	- Now also supports custom handler methods besides using the request method.

- Removed Request.context: was redundant with Request.registry.

- Renamed WSGIApplication.wsgi_app to WSGIApplication.dispatch.

- Moved ALLOWED_METHODS to WSGIApplication.allowed_methods.

- Moved get_valid_methods() to RequestHandler.get_valid_methods().


Version 0.7 - September 26, 2010
================================
- Added WSGIApplication.app and WSGIApplication.request, class attributes set
	on each request to reference currently active app and request.
	WSGIApplication.app is an alias to WSGIApplication.active_instance.

- Fixed double escaping of + in urlunsplit(). Thanks, alkis.

- IMPROVED: configuration now behaves exactly like a dictionary, still
	auto-loading configuration values when needed and honoring required configs.
	For example, we always used this::

			bar = self.app.get_config('foo', 'bar')

	Now it is also possible to use direct access and dict methods::

			bar = self.app.config['foo']['bar']
			# or...
			bar = self.app.config['foo'].get('bar')
			# or...
			bar = self.app.config.get('foo').get('bar')

	The previous get_config() method works as always.


Version 0.6 - August 31, 2010
=============================
- Fix: Anchors in generated URLs are quoted using urlib.quote, instead of
	urlib.quote_plus.

- In Router.dispatch(), if an exception occurs while handling an exception,
	raise it instead of trying to handle it again.

- Fixed bug when writing a unicode string to Response and charset is not set.
	Thanks to martinc for the patch.

- Changed: the app won't fallback anymore to the exception handler set for
	status 500 if handlers for other status are not set.

- Changed: exceptions are only logged when unhandled. It is up to exception
	handlers to log them when appropriate.


Version 0.5.1 - August 17, 2010
===============================
- When a URL matches, some attributes are set in the request object:
	- request.route: the matched route
	- request.route_args: the matched positional arguments, a tuple
	- request.route_kwargs: the matched keyword arguments, a dict

- WSGIApplication.handle_exception() doesn't automatically raises the exception
	when in debug mode: it is up to the error handler to raise it if in dev; it
	will be raised if no error handler is defined to handle it anyway.

- Added attributes, WSGIApplication.registry, Request.registry and
	Request.context, dictionaries for objects in use during the app or request
	lifetimes.

- Before passing the request method to the RequestHandler, '-' is replaced
	by '_', so that a method like WebDav's 'VERSION-CONTROL' can be supported.

- Config.get() now only returns the passed default value when key is defined.
	This is the intended, more predictable behavior: default is a default for
	the key, not the module. For example::

			# If config['foo']['bar'] is not set, return 'baz'.
			config.get('foo', 'bar', default='baz')

			# If config['foo'] is not set, return None. Default is ignored here.
			config.get('foo', default='baz')

- Router initialization now receives the app as parameter, so that extended
	routes can access app's config.


Version 0.5 - August 13, 2010
=============================
- Better compatibility with webapp:
	- webapp2.WSGIapplication can be used with webapp.RequestHandler.
	- webapp.WSGIapplication can be used with webapp2.RequestHandler.

	Although the functionality becomes limited in both cases, this should help
	migration.

- Review of Response based on observations from
	http://pythonpaste.org/webob/differences.html#webapp-response:

	- Response.out is now a reference to self, to use webob.Response's neat
		.write() method which can handle both string and unicode.
	- Response.clear() now sets .body = '' instead of .app_iter = [].

- Added Response.write(), for compatibility with StringIO behavior in webapp
	when calling write() passing non-basestring values (issue 2).

- Removed url_escape() and url_unescape(). Unused or almost unused.

- ErrorHandlers can now be defined as strings to be lazily loaded, as they
	now use the same dispatch mechanism of other handlers.

Backwards compatibility warning
-------------------------------
- The method handle_exception() is called from app-wide error handlers.
	Previously, get() was called.


Version 0.4.1 - August 08, 2010
===============================
- Removed router parameter from get_routes(), get_match_routes(),
	get_build_routes(). This simplifies multi-routes quite a bit.


Version 0.4 - August 07, 2010
=============================
- redirect() and redirect_to() now accept a keyword argument 'abort' to raise
	an exception to do the redirect.

- '_netloc' can be passed to url_for() build URLs for a given domain or
	subdomain.

- Added BaseRoute, an interface for custom routes. Several improvements make
	the routing system more extensible, while the default Route class sticks to
	the basics.

- Nested routes are now possible. As an example, `extras/routes.py` has several
	classes that accept nested routes or extend routing in other ways:

	- PathPrefixRoute: the idea of this route is to set a base path for other
		routes::

				app = WSGIApplication([
						PathPrefixRoute('/users/<user:\w+>', [
								Route('/', UserOverviewHandler, 'user-overview'),
								Route('/profile', UserProfileHandler, 'user-profile'),
								Route('/projects', UserProjectsHandler, 'user-projects'),
						]),
				])

		The example above is the same as setting the following routes, just more
		convenient as you can reuse the path prefix::

				app = WSGIApplication([
						Route('/users/<user:\w+>/', UserOverviewHandler, 'user-overview'),
						Route('/users/<user:\w+>/profile', UserProfileHandler, 'user-profile'),
						Route('/users/<user:\w+>/projects', UserProjectsHandler, 'user-projects'),
				])

	- NamePrefixRoute: Same as PathPrefixRoute, but prefixes the names of routes.

	- HandlerPrefixRoute: Same as PathPrefixRoute, but prefixes the handlers of
		routes.

	- DomainRoute: a route used to restrict route matches to a given domain or
		subdomain.

		For example, to restrict routes to a subdomain of the appspot domain::

				SUBDOMAIN_RE = '^([^.]+)\.app-id\.appspot\.com$'

				app = WSGIApplication([
						DomainRoute(SUBDOMAIN_RE, [
								Route('/foo', 'FooHandler', 'subdomain-thing'),
						]),
						Route('/bar', 'BarHandler', 'normal-thing'),
				])

	- ImprovedRoute: a route with redirect_to and strict_slash.

		- `redirect_to`: if set, the route is used to redirect to a URL. The value
			 can be a URL string or a callable that returns a URL. These two are
			 equivalent::

					route = Route('/foo', RedirectHandler, defaults={'url': '/bar'})
					route = Route('/foo', redirect_to='/bar')

		- `strict_slash`: if True, redirects access to the same URL with different
			trailing slash to the strict path defined in the rule. For example, take
			these rules::

					route = Route('/foo', FooHandler, strict_slash=True)
					route = Route('/bar/', BarHandler, strict_slash=True)

			Because **strict_slash** is True, this is what will happen:

			- Access to ``/foo`` will execute ``FooHandler`` normally.
			- Access to ``/bar/`` will execute ``BarHandler`` normally.
			- Access to ``/foo/`` will redirect to ``/foo``.
			- Access to ``/bar`` will redirect to ``/bar/``.


Version 0.3 - August 05, 2010
=============================
- Routes store the handler, as we had in 0.1. This allows custom routes to
	have nested routes.
- Much improved URL building, now delegated to routes.
- added urlunsplit() helper.


Version 0.2 - August 04, 2010
=============================
- Fixed a bug in Route.match() that would make it return positional arguments
	with wrong order. Dictionary is correctly sorted now.
- Added build_only option for routes: routes that are only used for url_for()
	and never match.


Version 0.1 - August 03, 2010
=============================
- Initial release.
