| Changelog for Falcon 0.3.0 |
| ========================== |
|
|
| Breaking Changes |
| ---------------- |
| - Date headers are now returned as :py:class:`datetime.datetime` objects |
| instead of strings. |
|
|
| New & Improved |
| -------------- |
|
|
| - This release includes a new router architecture for improved performance |
| and flexibility. |
| - A custom router can now be specified when instantiating the |
| :py:class:`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:class:`Request` class. |
| - Date headers are now returned as :py:class:`datetime.datetime` objects. |
| - A default value can now be specified when calling |
| :py:meth:`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:attr:`falcon.HTTP_NO_CONTENT` vs. :py:attr:`falcon.HTTP_204`.) |
| - Several minor performance optimizations were made to the code base. |
|
|
| Fixed |
| ----- |
|
|
| - The query string parser was modified to improve handling of percent-encoded |
| data. |
| - Several errors in the documentation were corrected. |
| - The :py:mod:`six` package was pinned to 1.4.0 or better. |
| :py:attr:`six.PY2` is required by Falcon, but that wasn't added to |
| :py:mod:`six` until version 1.4.0. |
