1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
4 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
7 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
8 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
9 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
10 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
11 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
12 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
14 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
15 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
16 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
17 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
18 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
19 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
22 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
23 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
24 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
25 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
26 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
27 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
28 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
29 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
30 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
31 in behavior is compatible on its own.
32 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
33 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
34 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
35 - Some test and documentation improvements
37 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
38 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
39 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
40 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
43 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
44 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
47 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
48 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
50 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
51 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
53 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
55 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
56 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
58 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
60 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
61 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
62 of request or response classes.
64 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
65 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
66 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
67 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
68 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
69 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
70 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
71 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
72 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
73 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
75 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
76 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
77 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
78 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
79 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
81 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
83 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
84 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
86 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
88 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
89 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
90 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
93 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
96 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
99 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
100 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
102 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
105 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
108 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
110 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
112 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
114 Distribution META.yml changes:
115 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
116 mis-parses from the documentation.
117 - x_authority key added.
120 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
121 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
123 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
124 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
125 is less than helpful.
127 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
128 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
129 in bleadperl. RT#76437
131 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
132 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
135 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
136 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
138 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
139 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
140 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
142 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
145 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
146 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
147 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
148 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
149 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
150 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
152 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
154 - --background option for the server script now only closes
155 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
156 and other loggers which open a file handle when
157 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
158 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
159 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
162 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
165 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
166 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
167 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
168 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
170 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
173 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
176 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
177 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
178 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
179 included when not running from a checkout.
181 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
183 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
184 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
185 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
187 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
189 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
191 New features and refactoring:
192 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
193 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
194 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
196 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
197 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
198 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
201 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
202 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
203 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
205 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
207 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
208 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
209 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
210 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
211 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
212 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
214 Back compatibility fixes:
215 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
216 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
217 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
220 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
223 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
224 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
225 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
227 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
228 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
229 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
231 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
234 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
235 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
236 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
237 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
238 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
241 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
242 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
244 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
245 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
246 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
248 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
251 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
252 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
253 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
254 get them passed through to the application.
257 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
258 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
259 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
260 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
263 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
264 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
265 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
266 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
268 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
269 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
270 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
272 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
273 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
275 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
279 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
280 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
281 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
282 whereas before you had to say:
283 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
284 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
285 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
288 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
289 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
290 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
291 scripts in the application.
292 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
293 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
294 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
299 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
301 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
302 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
303 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
304 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
305 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
306 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
307 and provide an alternative.
309 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
313 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
316 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
319 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
321 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
322 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
323 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
324 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
325 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
326 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
330 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
331 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
333 Backward compatibility fixes:
335 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
336 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
340 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
341 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
343 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
345 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
347 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
348 Backward compatibility fixes:
350 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
351 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
353 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
357 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
358 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
359 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
361 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
363 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
364 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
366 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
370 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
372 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
374 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
376 Backward compatibility fixes:
378 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
380 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
381 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
382 for backward compatibility.
386 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
387 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
391 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
392 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
393 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
395 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
397 Backward compatibility fixes:
399 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
400 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
404 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
407 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
408 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
409 example) Coro is loaded.
411 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
412 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
414 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
415 using MooseX::Deamonize
417 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
418 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
419 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
420 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
421 deployed in these environments.
425 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
429 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
430 file for your application.
432 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
436 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
437 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
439 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
442 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
443 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
445 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
447 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
448 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
450 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
451 IO::Handle's behaviour.
453 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
454 was not breaking out correctly
456 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
457 to also work in the $c->component method.
459 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
460 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
461 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
463 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
465 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
467 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
469 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
470 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
473 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
475 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
478 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
482 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
483 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
484 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
486 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
489 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
491 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
492 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
493 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
495 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
498 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
499 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
500 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
501 the new major version of Catalyst.
504 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
505 of Catalyst has been much improved.
507 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
510 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
511 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
512 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
514 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
516 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
517 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
518 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
520 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
523 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
524 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
525 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
527 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
528 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
532 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
533 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
535 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
536 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
537 developers without changing their application code.
539 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
542 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
543 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
544 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
545 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
546 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
548 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
549 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
551 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
553 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
557 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
558 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
559 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
560 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
561 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
562 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
563 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
565 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
566 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
567 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
568 class, please tell us *now*.
570 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
573 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
575 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
576 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
577 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
578 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
579 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
580 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
583 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
584 the Content-Length header appropriately)
585 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
586 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
587 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
588 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
589 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
590 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
592 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
593 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
594 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
595 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
596 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
597 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
598 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
599 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
602 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
603 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
605 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
608 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
609 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
613 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
614 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
616 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
619 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
621 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
622 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
624 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
626 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
629 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
631 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
634 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
635 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
636 load Utils before MyApp.pm
638 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
641 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
643 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
644 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
645 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
646 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
647 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
649 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
652 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
653 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
654 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
657 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
658 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
663 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
666 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
669 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
670 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
671 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
672 the default action creation.
675 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
676 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
677 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
678 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
679 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
680 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
681 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
684 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
686 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
688 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
690 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
693 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
694 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
695 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
696 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
697 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
700 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
701 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
704 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
705 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
706 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
707 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
709 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
712 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
713 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
714 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
715 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
716 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
717 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
718 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
719 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
722 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
723 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
724 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
726 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
727 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
728 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
729 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
732 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
733 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
736 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
737 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
740 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
743 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
744 the content type and content length if available.
746 Refactoring / optimizations:
747 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
748 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
749 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
750 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
751 screen as easy to write.
752 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
753 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
754 in parameter filtering (for example).
755 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
756 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
757 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
758 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
759 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
762 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
763 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
764 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
765 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
767 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
770 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
771 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
773 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
776 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
777 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
779 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
782 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
783 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
784 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
785 which should not be encoded.
786 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
787 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
789 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
790 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
791 any set of args/captures.
793 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
794 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
796 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
800 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
802 - Various minor typo fixes.
805 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
807 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
810 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
811 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
812 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
815 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
816 - Clarify documentation about debug
819 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
820 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
821 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
823 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
826 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
827 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
831 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
832 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
834 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
835 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
836 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
837 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
838 argv key in the options hash.
839 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
840 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
841 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
842 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
844 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
848 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
849 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
850 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
851 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
852 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
854 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
858 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
859 encoding test controller.
861 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
863 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
864 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
865 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
866 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
868 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
869 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
870 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
871 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
872 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
874 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
878 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
879 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
880 less packed with information of no use.
884 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
886 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
888 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
889 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
890 the single character '0'.
891 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
894 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
895 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
896 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
898 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
900 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
901 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
902 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
903 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
904 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
905 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
906 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
907 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
908 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
909 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
910 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
911 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
913 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
914 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
916 Refactoring / cleanups:
917 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
918 (and then skipped) normally.
921 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
923 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
926 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
927 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
928 on the old behaviour.
930 Refactoring / cleanups:
931 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
932 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
934 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
937 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
938 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
939 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
940 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
941 as there is no recommended alternative.
942 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
943 fallback for fully qualified component names.
944 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
945 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
946 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
947 startup, rather than with the first hit.
948 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
949 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
950 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
951 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
952 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
953 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
954 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
955 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
958 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
959 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
960 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
961 deprecated and causes warnings).
962 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
963 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
964 in the correct order.
965 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
967 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
968 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
969 is deprecated (RT#51489)
972 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
973 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
974 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
975 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
976 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
978 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
979 exception classes need to implement.
980 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
981 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
984 Refactoring / cleanups:
985 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
986 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
987 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
988 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
989 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
990 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
991 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
993 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
996 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
997 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
998 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
999 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1001 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1002 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1003 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1006 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1007 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1010 Refactoring / cleanups:
1011 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1012 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1013 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1014 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1015 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1017 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1020 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1021 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1022 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1023 now loaded at most once + tests.
1024 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1025 is returned to 'actions'.
1026 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1027 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1029 Refactoring / cleanups:
1030 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1031 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1034 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1035 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1036 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1038 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1041 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1042 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1045 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1048 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1049 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1050 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1052 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1055 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1056 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1057 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1059 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1062 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1063 application class immutable without that option.
1064 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1065 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1067 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1068 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1069 (hopefully) future versions.
1070 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1071 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1072 variables (RT#48555)
1073 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1075 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1076 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1077 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1078 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1079 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1081 Refactoring / cleanups:
1082 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1083 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1084 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1085 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1086 known issues with 5.8.3.
1087 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1088 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1091 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1092 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1093 for the controller namespace
1094 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1095 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1096 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1097 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1098 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1099 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1101 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1102 frontend port (jshirley)
1103 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1107 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1108 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1109 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1110 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1113 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1116 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1117 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1118 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1120 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1121 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1122 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1123 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1124 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1125 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1129 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1130 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1131 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1134 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1137 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1138 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1140 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1141 in some environments.
1142 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1143 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1144 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1145 except works correctly with closures.
1146 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1147 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1148 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1149 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1150 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1151 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1152 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1155 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1156 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1157 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1158 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1159 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1160 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1162 Refactoring / cleanups:
1163 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1164 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1165 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1166 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1168 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1169 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1170 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1172 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1173 again in Catalyst::Test
1175 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1178 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1179 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1182 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1185 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1186 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1187 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1189 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1192 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1193 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1196 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1197 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1201 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1202 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1203 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1204 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1205 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1207 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1208 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1209 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1210 controller naming. (random)
1211 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1212 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1213 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1214 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1215 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1217 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1219 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1220 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1221 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1223 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1224 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1225 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1226 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1227 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1228 to report 'Unknown Error'

1235 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1236 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1237 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1245 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1246 Test::Aggregate is available.
1247 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1248 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1249 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

1263 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1264 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1265 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1268 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1269 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1270 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1271 configuration in your application.

1299 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1301 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1302 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1304 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1305 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1306 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1307 tries to chain to itself
1309 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1310 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1311 - Tests for this (radek)
1312 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1313 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1314 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1315 - Tests for this (radek)

1326 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1327 in production versions
1328 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1329 the correct metaclass
1330 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1331 the restarter process
1332 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1333 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1335 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1336 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1337 immutable restart correctly.
1339 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1340 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1352 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1353 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1354 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1355 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1356 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1357 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1358 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1359 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1361 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1362 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1363 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1396 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1397 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1398 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1400 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1401 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1402 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1413 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1414 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1422 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1424 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1425 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1426 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1428 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1429 test sync for engines easier

1450 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1451 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1452 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1574 throw warnings for two reasons:
1575 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1576 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1578 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1579 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the

1623 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1624 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
