Changelog

0.5.1 (2014-08-30)

  • Fix behavior of Arg's allow_missing parameter when multiple=True.

  • Fix bug in tornadoparser that caused parsing JSON arguments to fail.

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.

  • Add error_handler param to Parser.

0.2.0 (2014-02-26)
