• Extensively documented access control list extension validating endpoint security and return value permission using context-aware predicates.
• The ability for extensions to define additional callbacks for collection.
• The DatabaseExtension (formerly DBExtension) has been moved into its own repository.

WebCore 2.0.2 Athanatos (Bugfix Release)

• Corrected argument specification for transform extension callbacks, fixing AnnotationExtension usage as per #163.
• Additional source-level documentation and expanded examples.
• An excessively large number of additional WSGI server adapters; now supported are: waitress, tornado, fcgi, cherrypy, appengine, paste, eventlet, gevent, diesel, and bjoern. Each is available as an extras_require by the same name which will pull in the required third-party dependency.

WebCore 2.0

A modernization rewrite of WebCore based on the experience of utilizing WebCore 1 and WebCore 2 alphas in production environments for many years.

• A complete rewrite of WebCore from the ground up.
• Features multiple extension interfaces to extend registered view handlers and provide a uniform callback mechanism for extensions.
• Standard usage makes use of no superglobals or "thread locals", instead relying on a context object collaboratively populated by extensions.
• WebCore's former "dialect" system is now dispatch.

The entirety of the WebCore distributed web package is 665 source lines of code!
