Changelog for Falcon 0.3.0¶
Breaking Changes¶
Date headers are now returned as
datetime.datetime
objects 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
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.
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 tosix
until version 1.4.0.
