Changelog for Falcon 0.3.0#
Breaking Changes#
Date headers are now returned as
datetime.datetimeobjects instead of strings.The expected signature for the
add_route()method of custom routers no longer includes a method_map parameter. Custom routers should, instead, call thefalcon.routing.util.map_http_methods()function directly from theiradd_route()method if they require this mapping.
New & Improved#
This release includes a new router architecture for improved performance and flexibility.
A custom router can now be specified when instantiating the
APIclass.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
Requestclass.Date headers are now returned as
datetime.datetimeobjects.A default value can now be specified when calling
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.,
falcon.HTTP_NO_CONTENTvs.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
sixpackage was pinned to 1.4.0 or better.six.PY2is required by Falcon, but that wasn’t added tosixuntil version 1.4.0.
