1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
4 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
5 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
6 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
7 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
8 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
9 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
10 those keys already exist). Keys added:
13 - plack.request.merged
14 - plack.request.http.body
15 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
16 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
17 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
18 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
19 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
20 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
21 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
22 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
23 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
24 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
25 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
26 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
27 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
28 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
29 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
30 is a scalar or arrayref.
31 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
32 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
34 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
35 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
36 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
38 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
39 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
40 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
41 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
42 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
43 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
44 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
45 a development setup (ether++)
47 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
48 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
49 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
50 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
51 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
52 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
53 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
56 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
57 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
58 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
59 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
60 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
63 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
64 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
65 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
66 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
68 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
70 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
74 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
75 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
76 this fixes all of them.
77 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
78 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
79 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
80 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
82 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
85 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
86 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
87 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
88 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
89 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
90 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
91 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
93 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
94 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
95 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
96 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
97 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
98 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
100 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
101 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
102 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
103 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
104 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
105 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
106 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
107 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
109 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
112 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
113 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
114 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
115 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
116 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
117 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
119 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
120 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
121 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
122 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
123 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
124 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
127 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
128 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
129 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
130 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
131 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
132 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
133 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
134 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
135 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
136 in behavior is compatible on its own.
137 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
138 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
139 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
140 - Some test and documentation improvements
142 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
143 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
144 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
145 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
148 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
149 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
152 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
153 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
155 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
156 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
158 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
160 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
161 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
163 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
165 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
166 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
167 of request or response classes.
169 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
170 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
171 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
172 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
173 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
174 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
175 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
176 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
177 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
178 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
180 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
181 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
182 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
183 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
184 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
186 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
188 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
189 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
191 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
193 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
194 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
195 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
198 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
201 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
204 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
205 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
207 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
210 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
213 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
215 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
217 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
219 Distribution META.yml changes:
220 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
221 mis-parses from the documentation.
222 - x_authority key added.
225 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
226 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
228 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
229 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
230 is less than helpful.
232 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
233 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
234 in bleadperl. RT#76437
236 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
237 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
240 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
241 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
243 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
244 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
245 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
247 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
250 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
251 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
252 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
253 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
254 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
255 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
257 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
259 - --background option for the server script now only closes
260 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
261 and other loggers which open a file handle when
262 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
263 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
264 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
267 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
270 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
271 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
272 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
273 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
275 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
278 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
281 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
282 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
283 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
284 included when not running from a checkout.
286 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
288 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
289 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
290 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
292 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
294 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
296 New features and refactoring:
297 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
298 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
299 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
301 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
302 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
303 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
306 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
307 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
308 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
310 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
312 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
313 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
314 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
315 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
316 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
317 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
319 Back compatibility fixes:
320 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
321 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
322 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
325 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
328 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
329 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
330 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
332 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
333 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
334 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
336 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
339 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
340 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
341 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
342 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
343 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
346 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
347 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
349 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
350 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
351 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
353 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
356 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
357 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
358 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
359 get them passed through to the application.
362 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
363 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
364 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
365 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
368 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
369 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
370 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
371 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
373 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
374 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
375 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
377 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
378 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
380 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
384 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
385 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
386 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
387 whereas before you had to say:
388 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
389 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
390 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
393 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
394 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
395 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
396 scripts in the application.
397 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
398 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
399 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
404 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
406 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
407 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
408 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
409 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
410 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
411 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
412 and provide an alternative.
414 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
418 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
421 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
424 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
426 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
427 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
428 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
429 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
430 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
431 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
435 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
436 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
438 Backward compatibility fixes:
440 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
441 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
445 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
446 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
448 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
450 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
452 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
453 Backward compatibility fixes:
455 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
456 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
458 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
462 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
463 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
464 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
466 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
468 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
469 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
471 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
475 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
477 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
479 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
481 Backward compatibility fixes:
483 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
485 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
486 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
487 for backward compatibility.
491 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
492 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
496 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
497 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
498 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
500 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
502 Backward compatibility fixes:
504 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
505 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
509 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
512 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
513 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
514 example) Coro is loaded.
516 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
517 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
519 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
520 using MooseX::Deamonize
522 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
523 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
524 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
525 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
526 deployed in these environments.
530 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
534 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
535 file for your application.
537 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
541 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
542 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
544 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
547 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
548 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
550 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
552 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
553 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
555 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
556 IO::Handle's behaviour.
558 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
559 was not breaking out correctly
561 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
562 to also work in the $c->component method.
564 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
565 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
566 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
568 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
570 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
572 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
574 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
575 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
578 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
580 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
583 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
587 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
588 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
589 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
591 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
594 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
596 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
597 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
598 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
600 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
603 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
604 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
605 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
606 the new major version of Catalyst.
609 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
610 of Catalyst has been much improved.
612 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
615 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
616 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
617 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
619 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
621 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
622 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
623 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
625 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
628 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
629 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
630 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
632 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
633 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
637 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
638 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
640 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
641 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
642 developers without changing their application code.
644 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
647 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
648 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
649 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
650 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
651 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
653 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
654 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
656 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
658 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
662 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
663 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
664 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
665 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
666 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
667 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
668 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
670 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
671 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
672 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
673 class, please tell us *now*.
675 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
678 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
680 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
681 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
682 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
683 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
684 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
685 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
688 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
689 the Content-Length header appropriately)
690 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
691 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
692 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
693 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
694 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
695 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
697 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
698 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
699 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
700 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
701 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
702 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
703 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
704 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
707 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
708 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
710 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
713 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
714 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
718 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
719 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
721 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
724 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
726 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
727 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
729 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
731 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
734 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
736 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
739 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
740 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
741 load Utils before MyApp.pm
743 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
746 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
748 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
749 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
750 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
751 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
752 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
754 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
757 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
758 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
759 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
762 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
763 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
768 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
771 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
774 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
775 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
776 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
777 the default action creation.
780 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
781 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
782 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
783 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
784 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
785 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
786 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
789 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
791 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
793 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
795 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
798 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
799 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
800 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
801 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
802 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
805 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
806 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
809 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
810 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
811 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
812 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
814 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
817 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
818 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
819 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
820 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
821 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
822 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
823 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
824 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
827 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
828 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
829 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
831 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
832 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
833 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
834 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
837 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
838 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
841 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
842 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
845 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
848 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
849 the content type and content length if available.
851 Refactoring / optimizations:
852 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
853 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
854 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
855 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
856 screen as easy to write.
857 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
858 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
859 in parameter filtering (for example).
860 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
861 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
862 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
863 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
864 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
867 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
868 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
869 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
870 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
872 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
875 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
876 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
878 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
881 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
882 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
884 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
887 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
888 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
889 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
890 which should not be encoded.
891 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
892 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
894 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
895 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
896 any set of args/captures.
898 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
899 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
901 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
905 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
907 - Various minor typo fixes.
910 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
912 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
915 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
916 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
917 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
920 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
921 - Clarify documentation about debug
924 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
925 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
926 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
928 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
931 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
932 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
936 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
937 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
939 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
940 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
941 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
942 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
943 argv key in the options hash.
944 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
945 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
946 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
947 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
949 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
953 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
954 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
955 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
956 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
957 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
959 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
963 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
964 encoding test controller.
966 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
968 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
969 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
970 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
971 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
973 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
974 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
975 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
976 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
977 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
979 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
983 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
984 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
985 less packed with information of no use.
989 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
991 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
993 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
994 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
995 the single character '0'.
996 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
999 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1000 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1001 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1003 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1005 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1006 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1007 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1008 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1009 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1010 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1011 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1012 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1013 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1014 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1015 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1016 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1018 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1019 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1021 Refactoring / cleanups:
1022 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1023 (and then skipped) normally.
1026 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1028 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1031 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1032 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1033 on the old behaviour.
1035 Refactoring / cleanups:
1036 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1037 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1039 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1042 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1043 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1044 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1045 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1046 as there is no recommended alternative.
1047 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1048 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1049 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1050 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1051 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1052 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1053 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1054 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1055 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1056 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1057 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1058 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1059 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1060 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1063 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1064 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1065 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1066 deprecated and causes warnings).
1067 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1068 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1069 in the correct order.
1070 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1072 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1073 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1074 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1077 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1078 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1079 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1080 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1081 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1083 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1084 exception classes need to implement.
1085 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1086 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1089 Refactoring / cleanups:
1090 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1091 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1092 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1093 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1094 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1095 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1096 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1098 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1101 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1102 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1103 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1104 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1106 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1107 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1108 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1111 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1112 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1115 Refactoring / cleanups:
1116 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1117 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1118 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1119 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1120 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1122 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1125 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1126 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1127 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1128 now loaded at most once + tests.
1129 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1130 is returned to 'actions'.
1131 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1132 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1134 Refactoring / cleanups:
1135 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1136 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1139 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1140 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1141 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1143 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1146 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1147 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1150 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1153 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1154 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1155 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1157 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1160 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1161 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1162 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1164 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1167 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1168 application class immutable without that option.
1169 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1170 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1172 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1173 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1174 (hopefully) future versions.
1175 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1176 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1177 variables (RT#48555)
1178 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1180 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1181 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1182 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1183 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1184 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1186 Refactoring / cleanups:
1187 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1188 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1189 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1190 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1191 known issues with 5.8.3.
1192 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1193 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1196 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1197 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1198 for the controller namespace
1199 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1200 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1201 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1202 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1203 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1204 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1206 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1207 frontend port (jshirley)
1208 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1212 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1213 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.

1223 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1225 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1226 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1227 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1228 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1229 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1230 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1234 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1235 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1236 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1239 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1242 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1243 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing

1246 in some environments.
1247 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1248 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1249 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1250 except works correctly with closures.

1257 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1260 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1261 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1262 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1263 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1264 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1265 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1267 Refactoring / cleanups:
1268 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1269 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1270 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1271 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1273 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1274 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1275 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

1291 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1292 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1294 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1297 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1298 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1301 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1302 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1306 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1307 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1308 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1309 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1310 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1312 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1313 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1314 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1315 controller naming. (random)

1326 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1328 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1329 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1330 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1331 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1332 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1333 to report 'Unknown Error'
1334 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1335 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1336 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1337 parse_on_demand is on

1340 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1341 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1342 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1352 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1353 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

1369 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1370 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1372 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1373 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1374 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1375 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1376 configuration in your application.

1407 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1409 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1410 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1411 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1412 tries to chain to itself
1414 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1415 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1416 - Tests for this (radek)
1417 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1418 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1419 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1420 - Tests for this (radek)

1431 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1432 in production versions
1433 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1434 the correct metaclass
1435 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1436 the restarter process
1437 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1438 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1440 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1441 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1442 immutable restart correctly.
1444 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1445 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1461 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1462 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1463 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1464 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1466 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1467 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1501 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1502 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

1505 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1506 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1507 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1515 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1516 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1517 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1518 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1519 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1521 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1522 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1523 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1524 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1526 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1527 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1529 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1530 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1531 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1533 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1534 test sync for engines easier
1535 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1536 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1545 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1547 - Test for this (Carl Franks)

1552 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1553 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1554 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1555 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1556 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1557 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1559 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1560 the key from the instance hash

1677 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1678 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1679 throw warnings for two reasons:
1680 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1681 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1683 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1684 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1685 method with a regex as the argument
1686 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)
