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