Changelog

0.5.0 (2014-07-27)

  • Fix JSON parsing in Flask parser when Content-Type header contains more than just application/json. Thanks Samir Uppaluru for reporting.

  • Backwards-incompatible: The use parameter to Arg is called before type conversion occurs. Thanks Eric Wang for the suggestion.

  • Tested on Tornado>=4.0.

0.4.0 (2014-05-04)

  • Custom target handlers can be defined using the Parser.target_handler decorator.

  • Error handler can be specified using the Parser.error_handler decorator.

  • Args can define their request target by passing in a target argument.

  • Backwards-incompatible: DEFAULT_TARGETS is now a class member of Parser. This allows subclasses to override it.

0.3.4 (2014-04-27)

  • Fix bug that caused use_args to fail on class-based views in Flask.

  • Add allow_missing parameter to Arg.

0.3.3 (2014-03-20)

  • Awesome contributions from the open-source community!

0.3.0 (2014-03-02)

  • Add error_handler param to Parser.

0.2.0 (2014-02-26)

  • Bottle support.

  • Add targets param to Parser. Allows setting default targets.
