Fresco

Fresco is for Python developers that want a lighter framework that lets them use their own templating and database interaction libraries.

Fresco can also accommodate Pesto users, having a similar structure and development infrastructure.

What is new in this release:

• Cache route lookups that result in RouteNotFound exceptions. This provides a significant speedup for applications composed of multiple RouteCollections.

What is new in version 0.5.1:

• The signature of ResponseException has changed.
• fresco.decorators.json_response may now be called without arguments.
• A new Response.json method has been added to facilitate creating JSON encoded responses without the use of a decorator.
• fresco.routeargs.JSONPayload has been added.
• Application logging has been made more helpful.

What is new in version 0.4.1:

• Request.cookies now maps names to values (not cookie objects), simplifying cookie handling and bringing us in line with how most other frameworks treat cookies. This change breaks backwards compatibility.
• The maxage and HTTP_only arguments to Cookie.__init__ and Response.add_cookie have been renamed to max_age and httponly respectively, reflecting the spelling used in the Set-Cookie header (‘Max-Age' and ‘HttpOnly'). This change breaks backwards compatibility.
• Changed FrescoApp's constructor to have the same signature as RouteCollection. You can get the old behavior by using the views and path keyword arguments. This change breaks backwards compatibility.
• Removed blinker dependency and associated signals. These were never documented and the application hooks added in this version provide a more flexible replacement. This change breaks backwards compatibility.
• Removed the deprecated URL method added to view functions This change breaks backwards compatibility.

What is new in version 0.3.14:

• Added request.body and request.body_bytes properties.
• Added a request.get_json method to access JSON request payloads.
• Added RouteCollection.remove and RouteCollection.replace methods, making it easier to extend and modify RouteCollections.
• Deprecated view_function.url().

What is new in version 0.3.10:

• Invalid character data in the request body no longer causes an exception.

What is new in version 0.3.9:

• Added fresco.decorators.json_response
• Added support for python 3.4 and dropped support for Python 3.2

What is new in version 0.3.7:

• Bugfix for RouteArg when using a default value.
• Bugfix for urlfor when using positional arguments.
• Added decorate method for Route objects.
• Added fresco.routing.register_converter class decorator for simpler registration of routing pattern converters.
• Added fresco.util.common.object_or_404.
• Bugfix: fresco.util.urls.make_query no longer sorts key value pairs into alphabetical order, but preserves the original ordering.

What is new in version 0.3.5:

• FrescoApp.requestcontext() now invokes all registered middleware. This can be useful for testing views that rely on middleware to set environ keys or provide other services.

What is new in version 0.3.4:

• Route arguments can take default arguments for URL generation.
• Added tox for testing: fresco is now tested and works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.

What is new in version 0.3.3:

• Bugfix:
• Request.make_url was double quoting URLs in some circumstances.

What is new in version 0.3.2:

• Improved handling for ResponseExceptions raised during route traversal.
