1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
5 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
6 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
7 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
8 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
11 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
12 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
15 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
16 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
18 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
19 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
21 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
23 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
24 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
26 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
28 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
29 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
30 of request or response classes.
32 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
33 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
34 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
35 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
36 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
37 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
38 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
39 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
40 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
41 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
43 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
44 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
45 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
46 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
47 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
49 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
51 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
52 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
54 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
56 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
57 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
58 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
61 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
64 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
67 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
68 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
70 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
73 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
76 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
78 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
80 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
82 Distribution META.yml changes:
83 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
84 mis-parses from the documentation.
85 - x_authority key added.
88 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
89 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
91 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
92 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
95 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
96 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
97 in bleadperl. RT#76437
99 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
100 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
103 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
104 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
106 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
107 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
108 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
110 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
113 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
114 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
115 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
116 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
117 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
118 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
120 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
122 - --background option for the server script now only closes
123 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
124 and other loggers which open a file handle when
125 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
126 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
127 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
130 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
133 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
134 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
135 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
136 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
138 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
141 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
144 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
145 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
146 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
147 included when not running from a checkout.
149 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
151 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
152 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
153 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
155 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
157 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
159 New features and refactoring:
160 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
161 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
162 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
164 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
165 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
166 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
169 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
170 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
171 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
173 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
175 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
176 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
177 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
178 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
179 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
180 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
182 Back compatibility fixes:
183 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
184 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
185 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
188 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
191 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
192 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
193 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
195 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
196 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
197 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
199 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
202 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
203 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
204 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
205 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
206 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
209 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
210 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
212 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
213 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
214 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
216 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
219 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
220 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
221 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
222 get them passed through to the application.
225 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
226 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
227 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
228 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
231 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
232 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
233 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
234 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
236 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
237 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
238 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
240 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
241 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
243 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
247 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
248 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
249 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
250 whereas before you had to say:
251 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
252 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
253 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
256 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
257 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
258 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
259 scripts in the application.
260 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
261 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
262 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
267 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
269 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
270 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
271 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
272 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
273 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
274 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
275 and provide an alternative.
277 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
281 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
284 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
287 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
289 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
290 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
291 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
292 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
293 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
294 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
298 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
299 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
301 Backward compatibility fixes:
303 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
304 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
308 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
309 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
311 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
313 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
315 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
316 Backward compatibility fixes:
318 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
319 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
321 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
325 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
326 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
327 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
329 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
331 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
332 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
334 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
338 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
340 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
342 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
344 Backward compatibility fixes:
346 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
348 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
349 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
350 for backward compatibility.
354 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
355 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
359 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
360 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
361 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
363 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
365 Backward compatibility fixes:
367 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
368 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
372 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
375 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
376 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
377 example) Coro is loaded.
379 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
380 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
382 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
383 using MooseX::Deamonize
385 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
386 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
387 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
388 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
389 deployed in these environments.
393 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
397 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
398 file for your application.
400 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
404 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
405 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
407 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
410 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
411 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
413 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
415 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
416 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
418 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
419 IO::Handle's behaviour.
421 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
422 was not breaking out correctly
424 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
425 to also work in the $c->component method.
427 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
428 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
429 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
431 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
433 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
435 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
437 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
438 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
441 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
443 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
446 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
450 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
451 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
452 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
454 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
457 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
459 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
460 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
461 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
463 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
466 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
467 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
468 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
469 the new major version of Catalyst.
472 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
473 of Catalyst has been much improved.
475 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
478 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
479 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
480 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
482 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
484 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
485 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
486 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
488 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
491 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
492 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
493 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
495 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
496 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
500 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
501 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
503 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
504 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
505 developers without changing their application code.
507 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
510 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
511 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
512 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
513 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
514 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
516 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
517 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
519 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
521 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
525 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
526 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
527 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
528 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
529 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
530 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
531 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
533 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
534 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
535 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
536 class, please tell us *now*.
538 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
541 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
543 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
544 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
545 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
546 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
547 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
548 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
551 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
552 the Content-Length header appropriately)
553 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
554 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
555 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
556 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
557 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
558 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
560 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
561 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
562 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
563 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
564 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
565 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
566 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
567 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
570 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
571 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
573 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
576 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
577 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
581 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
582 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
584 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
587 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
589 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
590 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
592 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
594 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
597 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
599 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
602 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
603 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
604 load Utils before MyApp.pm
606 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
609 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
611 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
612 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
613 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
614 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
615 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
617 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
620 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
621 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
622 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
625 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
626 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
631 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
634 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
637 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
638 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
639 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
640 the default action creation.
643 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
644 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
645 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
646 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
647 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
648 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
649 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
652 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
654 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
656 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
658 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
661 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
662 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
663 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
664 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
665 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
668 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
669 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
672 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
673 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
674 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
675 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
677 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
680 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
681 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
682 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
683 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
684 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
685 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
686 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
687 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
690 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
691 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
692 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
694 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
695 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
696 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
697 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
700 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
701 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
704 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
705 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
708 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
711 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
712 the content type and content length if available.
714 Refactoring / optimizations:
715 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
716 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
717 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
718 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
719 screen as easy to write.
720 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
721 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
722 in parameter filtering (for example).
723 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
724 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
725 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
726 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
727 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
730 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
731 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
732 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
733 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
735 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
738 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
739 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
741 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
744 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
745 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
747 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
750 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
751 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
752 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
753 which should not be encoded.
754 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
755 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
757 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
758 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
759 any set of args/captures.
761 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
762 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
764 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
768 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
770 - Various minor typo fixes.
773 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
775 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
778 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
779 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
780 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
783 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
784 - Clarify documentation about debug
787 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
788 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
789 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
791 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
794 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
795 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
799 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
800 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
802 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
803 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
804 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
805 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
806 argv key in the options hash.
807 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
808 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
809 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
810 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
812 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
816 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
817 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
818 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
819 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
820 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
822 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
826 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
827 encoding test controller.
829 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
831 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
832 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
833 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
834 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
836 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
837 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
838 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
839 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
840 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
842 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
846 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
847 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
848 less packed with information of no use.
852 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
854 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
856 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
857 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
858 the single character '0'.
859 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
862 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
863 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
864 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
866 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
868 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
869 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
870 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
871 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
872 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
873 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
874 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
875 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
876 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
877 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
878 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
879 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
881 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
882 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
884 Refactoring / cleanups:
885 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
886 (and then skipped) normally.
889 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
891 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
894 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
895 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
896 on the old behaviour.
898 Refactoring / cleanups:
899 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
900 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
902 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
905 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
906 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
907 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
908 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
909 as there is no recommended alternative.
910 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
911 fallback for fully qualified component names.
912 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
913 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
914 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
915 startup, rather than with the first hit.
916 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
917 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
918 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
919 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
920 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
921 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
922 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
923 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
926 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
927 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
928 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
929 deprecated and causes warnings).
930 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
931 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
932 in the correct order.
933 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
935 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
936 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
937 is deprecated (RT#51489)
940 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
941 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
942 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
943 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
944 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
946 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
947 exception classes need to implement.
948 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
949 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
952 Refactoring / cleanups:
953 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
954 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
955 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
956 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
957 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
958 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
959 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
961 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
964 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
965 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
966 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
967 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
969 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
970 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
971 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
974 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
975 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
978 Refactoring / cleanups:
979 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
980 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
981 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
982 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
983 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
985 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
988 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
989 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
990 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
991 now loaded at most once + tests.
992 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
993 is returned to 'actions'.
994 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
995 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
997 Refactoring / cleanups:
998 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
999 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1002 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1003 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1004 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1006 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1009 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1010 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1013 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1016 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1017 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1018 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1020 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1023 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1024 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1025 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1027 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1030 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1031 application class immutable without that option.
1032 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1033 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1035 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1036 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1037 (hopefully) future versions.
1038 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1039 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1040 variables (RT#48555)
1041 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1043 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1044 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1045 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1046 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1047 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1049 Refactoring / cleanups:
1050 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1051 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1052 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1053 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1054 known issues with 5.8.3.
1055 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1056 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1059 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1060 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1061 for the controller namespace
1062 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1063 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1064 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1065 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1066 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1067 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1069 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1070 frontend port (jshirley)
1071 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1075 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1076 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1077 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1078 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1081 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1084 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1085 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1086 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1088 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1089 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1090 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1091 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1092 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1093 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1097 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1098 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1099 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1102 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1105 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1106 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1108 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1109 in some environments.
1110 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1111 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1112 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1113 except works correctly with closures.
1114 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1115 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1116 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1117 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1118 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1119 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1120 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1123 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1124 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1125 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1126 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1127 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1128 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1130 Refactoring / cleanups:
1131 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1132 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1133 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1134 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1136 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1137 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1138 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1140 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1141 again in Catalyst::Test
1143 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1146 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1147 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1150 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1153 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1154 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1155 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1157 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1160 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1161 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1164 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1165 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1169 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1170 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1171 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1172 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1173 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1175 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1176 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1177 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1178 controller naming. (random)
1179 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1180 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1181 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1182 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1183 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1185 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1187 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1188 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1189 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1191 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1192 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1193 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1194 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1195 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1196 to report 'Unknown Error'
1197 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1198 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1199 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1200 parse_on_demand is on
1202 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1203 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1204 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1205 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1206 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1207 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1208 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1209 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1210 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1212 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1213 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1214 Test::Aggregate is available.
1215 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1216 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1217 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1218 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1219 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1220 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1221 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1222 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1223 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1224 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1225 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them

1232 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1233 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1236 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1237 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1238 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1239 configuration in your application.

1272 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1273 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1274 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1275 tries to chain to itself

1278 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1279 - Tests for this (radek)
1280 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1281 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1282 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1283 - Tests for this (radek)

1289 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1290 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1292 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1294 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1295 in production versions
1296 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1297 the correct metaclass
1298 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1299 the restarter process
1300 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1301 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1303 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1304 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1305 immutable restart correctly.
1307 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1308 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1320 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1321 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1322 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1324 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1325 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1326 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1327 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1329 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1330 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1331 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1364 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1365 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

1369 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1370 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1390 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1392 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1393 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1416 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1417 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1418 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1419 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1420 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1591 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1592 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
