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.
