4 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
5 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
6 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
7 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
9 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
10 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
11 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
12 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
13 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
14 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
15 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
16 cases to reflect this change.
18 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
19 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
20 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
21 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
22 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
23 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
24 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
25 those keys already exist). Keys added:
28 - plack.request.merged
29 - plack.request.http.body
30 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
31 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
32 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
33 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
34 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
35 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
36 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
37 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
38 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
39 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
40 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
41 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
42 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
43 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
44 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
45 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
46 is a scalar or arrayref.
47 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
48 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
50 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
51 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
52 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
54 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
55 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
56 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
57 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
58 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
59 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
60 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
61 a development setup (ether++)
63 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
64 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
65 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
66 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
67 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
68 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
69 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
72 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
73 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
74 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
75 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
76 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
79 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
80 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
81 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
82 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
84 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
86 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
90 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
91 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
92 this fixes all of them.
93 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
94 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
95 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
96 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
98 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
101 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
102 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
103 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
104 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
105 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
106 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
107 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
109 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
110 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
111 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
112 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
113 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
114 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
116 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
117 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
118 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
119 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
120 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
121 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
122 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
123 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
125 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
128 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
129 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
130 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
131 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
132 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
133 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
135 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
136 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
137 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
138 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
139 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
140 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
143 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
144 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
145 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
146 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
147 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
148 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
149 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
150 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
151 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
152 in behavior is compatible on its own.
153 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
154 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
155 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
156 - Some test and documentation improvements
158 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
159 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
160 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
161 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
164 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
165 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
168 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
169 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
171 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
172 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
174 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
176 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
177 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
179 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
181 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
182 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
183 of request or response classes.
185 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
186 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
187 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
188 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
189 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
190 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
191 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
192 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
193 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
194 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
196 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
197 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
198 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
199 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
200 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
202 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
204 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
205 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
207 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
209 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
210 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
211 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
214 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
217 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
220 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
221 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
223 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
226 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
229 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
231 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
233 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
235 Distribution META.yml changes:
236 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
237 mis-parses from the documentation.
238 - x_authority key added.
241 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
242 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
244 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
245 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
246 is less than helpful.
248 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
249 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
250 in bleadperl. RT#76437
252 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
253 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
256 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
257 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
259 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
260 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
261 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
263 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
266 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
267 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
268 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
269 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
270 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
271 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
273 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
275 - --background option for the server script now only closes
276 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
277 and other loggers which open a file handle when
278 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
279 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
280 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
283 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
286 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
287 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
288 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
289 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
291 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
294 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
297 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
298 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
299 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
300 included when not running from a checkout.
302 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
304 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
305 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
306 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
308 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
310 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
312 New features and refactoring:
313 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
314 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
315 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
317 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
318 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
319 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
322 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
323 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
324 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
326 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
328 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
329 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
330 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
331 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
332 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
333 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
335 Back compatibility fixes:
336 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
337 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
338 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
341 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
344 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
345 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
346 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
348 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
349 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
350 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
352 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
355 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
356 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
357 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
358 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
359 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
362 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
363 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
365 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
366 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
367 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
369 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
372 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
373 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
374 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
375 get them passed through to the application.
378 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
379 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
380 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
381 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
384 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
385 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
386 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
387 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
389 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
390 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
391 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
393 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
394 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
396 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
400 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
401 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
402 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
403 whereas before you had to say:
404 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
405 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
406 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
409 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
410 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
411 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
412 scripts in the application.
413 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
414 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
415 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
420 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
422 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
423 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
424 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
425 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
426 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
427 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
428 and provide an alternative.
430 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
434 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
437 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
440 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
442 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
443 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
444 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
445 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
446 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
447 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
451 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
452 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
454 Backward compatibility fixes:
456 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
457 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
461 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
462 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
464 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
466 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
468 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
469 Backward compatibility fixes:
471 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
472 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
474 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
478 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
479 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
480 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
482 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
484 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
485 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
487 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
491 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
493 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
495 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
497 Backward compatibility fixes:
499 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
501 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
502 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
503 for backward compatibility.
507 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
508 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
512 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
513 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
514 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
516 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
518 Backward compatibility fixes:
520 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
521 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
525 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
528 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
529 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
530 example) Coro is loaded.
532 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
533 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
535 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
536 using MooseX::Deamonize
538 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
539 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
540 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
541 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
542 deployed in these environments.
546 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
550 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
551 file for your application.
553 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
557 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
558 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
560 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
563 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
564 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
566 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
568 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
569 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
571 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
572 IO::Handle's behaviour.
574 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
575 was not breaking out correctly
577 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
578 to also work in the $c->component method.
580 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
581 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
582 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
584 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
586 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
588 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
590 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
591 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
594 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
596 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
599 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
603 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
604 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
605 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
607 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
610 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
612 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
613 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
614 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
616 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
619 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
620 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
621 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
622 the new major version of Catalyst.
625 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
626 of Catalyst has been much improved.
628 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
631 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
632 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
633 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
635 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
637 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
638 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
639 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
641 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
644 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
645 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
646 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
648 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
649 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
653 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
654 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
656 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
657 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
658 developers without changing their application code.
660 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
663 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
664 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
665 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
666 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
667 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
669 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
670 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
672 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
674 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
678 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
679 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
680 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
681 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
682 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
683 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
684 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
686 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
687 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
688 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
689 class, please tell us *now*.
691 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
694 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
696 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
697 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
698 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
699 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
700 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
701 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
704 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
705 the Content-Length header appropriately)
706 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
707 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
708 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
709 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
710 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
711 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
713 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
714 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
715 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
716 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
717 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
718 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
719 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
720 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
723 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
724 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
726 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
729 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
730 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
734 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
735 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
737 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
740 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
742 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
743 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
745 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
747 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
750 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
752 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
755 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
756 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
757 load Utils before MyApp.pm
759 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
762 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
764 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
765 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
766 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
767 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
768 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
770 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
773 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
774 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
775 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
778 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
779 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
784 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
787 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
790 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
791 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
792 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
793 the default action creation.
796 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
797 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
798 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
799 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
800 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
801 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
802 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
805 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
807 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
809 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
811 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
814 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
815 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
816 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
817 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
818 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
821 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
822 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
825 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
826 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
827 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
828 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
830 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
833 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
834 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
835 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
836 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
837 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
838 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
839 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
840 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
843 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
844 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
845 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
847 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
848 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
849 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
850 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
853 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
854 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
857 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
858 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
861 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
864 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
865 the content type and content length if available.
867 Refactoring / optimizations:
868 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
869 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
870 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
871 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
872 screen as easy to write.
873 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
874 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
875 in parameter filtering (for example).
876 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
877 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
878 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
879 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
880 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
883 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
884 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
885 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
886 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
888 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
891 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
892 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
894 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
897 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
898 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
900 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
903 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
904 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
905 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
906 which should not be encoded.
907 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
908 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
910 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
911 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
912 any set of args/captures.
914 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
915 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
917 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
921 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
923 - Various minor typo fixes.
926 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
928 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
931 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
932 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
933 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
936 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
937 - Clarify documentation about debug
940 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
941 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
942 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
944 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
947 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
948 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
952 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
953 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
955 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
956 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
957 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
958 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
959 argv key in the options hash.
960 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
961 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
962 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
963 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
965 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
969 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
970 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
971 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
972 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
973 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
975 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
979 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
980 encoding test controller.
982 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
984 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
985 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
986 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
987 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
989 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
990 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
991 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
992 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
993 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
995 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
999 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1000 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1001 less packed with information of no use.
1005 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1007 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1009 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1010 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1011 the single character '0'.
1012 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1015 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1016 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1017 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1019 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1021 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1022 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1023 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1024 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1025 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1026 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1027 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1028 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1029 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1030 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1031 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1032 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1034 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1035 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1037 Refactoring / cleanups:
1038 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1039 (and then skipped) normally.
1042 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1044 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1047 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1048 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1049 on the old behaviour.
1051 Refactoring / cleanups:
1052 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1053 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1055 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1058 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1059 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1060 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1061 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1062 as there is no recommended alternative.
1063 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1064 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1065 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1066 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1067 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1068 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1069 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1070 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1071 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1072 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1073 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1074 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1075 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1076 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1079 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1080 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1081 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1082 deprecated and causes warnings).
1083 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1084 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1085 in the correct order.
1086 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1088 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1089 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1090 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1093 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1094 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1095 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1096 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1097 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1099 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1100 exception classes need to implement.
1101 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1102 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1105 Refactoring / cleanups:
1106 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1107 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1108 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1109 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1110 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1111 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1112 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1114 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1117 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1118 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1119 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1120 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1122 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1123 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1124 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1127 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1128 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1131 Refactoring / cleanups:
1132 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1133 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1134 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1135 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1136 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1138 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1141 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1142 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1143 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1144 now loaded at most once + tests.
1145 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1146 is returned to 'actions'.
1147 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1148 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1150 Refactoring / cleanups:
1151 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1152 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1155 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1156 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1157 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1159 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1162 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1163 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1166 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1169 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1170 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1171 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1173 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1176 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1177 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1178 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1180 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1183 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1184 application class immutable without that option.
1185 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1186 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1188 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1189 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1190 (hopefully) future versions.
1191 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1192 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1193 variables (RT#48555)
1194 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1196 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1197 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1198 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1199 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1200 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1202 Refactoring / cleanups:
1203 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1204 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1205 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1206 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1207 known issues with 5.8.3.
1208 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1209 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1212 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1213 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1214 for the controller namespace
1215 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1216 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1217 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1218 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1219 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1220 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1222 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1223 frontend port (jshirley)
1224 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1228 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1229 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.

1239 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1241 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1242 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1243 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1244 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1245 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1246 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1250 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1251 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1252 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1255 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1258 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1259 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1261 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1262 in some environments.
1263 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1264 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1265 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1266 except works correctly with closures.
1267 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1268 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1269 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1270 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1271 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1272 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1273 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1276 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1277 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1278 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1279 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1280 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1281 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1283 Refactoring / cleanups:
1284 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1285 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1286 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1287 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1289 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1290 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1291 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1293 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1294 again in Catalyst::Test
1296 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1307 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1308 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1310 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1313 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1314 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1317 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1318 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1322 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1323 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1324 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1325 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1326 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1328 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1329 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1330 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1331 controller naming. (random)
1332 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1333 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1334 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1342 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1344 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1345 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1346 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1347 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1348 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1349 to report 'Unknown Error'
1350 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1351 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1352 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1353 parse_on_demand is on
1355 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1356 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1357 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1358 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1359 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1362 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1363 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1366 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1367 Test::Aggregate is available.
1368 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1369 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1370 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1371 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1372 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1382 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1383 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1384 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1385 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1386 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1389 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1390 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1391 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1392 configuration in your application.
1394 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1395 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1423 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1425 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1426 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1427 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1428 tries to chain to itself
1430 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1431 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1432 - Tests for this (radek)
1433 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1434 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1435 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1436 - Tests for this (radek)

1447 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1448 in production versions
1449 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1450 the correct metaclass
1451 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1452 the restarter process
1453 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1454 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1456 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1457 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1458 immutable restart correctly.
1460 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1461 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1472 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1473 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1474 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1475 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1477 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1478 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1479 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1480 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1482 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1483 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1517 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1518 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1519 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1521 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1522 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1523 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1531 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1532 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1533 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1534 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1535 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1536 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1537 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1538 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1539 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1540 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1542 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1543 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1545 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1546 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1547 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1549 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1550 test sync for engines easier
1551 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1552 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1561 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1563 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1564 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1565 die, as it didn't in 5.70

1568 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1569 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1570 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1571 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1572 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1573 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1575 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1576 the key from the instance hash
1577 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1578 trivial delegation methods
1579 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

1693 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1694 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1695 throw warnings for two reasons:
1696 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1697 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1699 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1700 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1701 method with a regex as the argument
1702 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)
1703 - Update HTTP::Body dep so that the uploadtmp config value will work (RT #22540)

1707 - Added the ability to remove parameters in req->uri_with() by passing in
1708 an undef value (RT #34782)
1709 - Added $c->go, to do an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the
1710 contents of the stash
1712 5.7014 2008-05-25 15:26:00
