Changelog for Falcon 0.3.0
==========================

Breaking Changes
----------------
- Date headers are now returned as :class:`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 the :meth:`falcon.routing.util.map_http_methods` function directly
  from their ``add_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
  :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
  :class:`Request` class.
- Date headers are now returned as :class:`datetime.datetime` objects.
- A default value can now be specified when calling
  :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.,
  :attr:`falcon.HTTP_NO_CONTENT` vs. :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 :mod:`six` package was pinned to 1.4.0 or better.
  :attr:`six.PY2` is required by Falcon, but that wasn't added to
  :mod:`six` until version 1.4.0.
