1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
5 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
6 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
7 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
8 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
9 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
10 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
12 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
13 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
14 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
15 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
16 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
17 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
19 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
20 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
21 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
22 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
23 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
24 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
25 you global config (See Catalyst::Upgrading for more).
26 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
29 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
30 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
31 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
32 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
33 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
34 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
36 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
37 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
38 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
39 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
40 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
41 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
44 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
45 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
46 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
47 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
48 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
49 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
50 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
51 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
52 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
53 in behavior is compatible on its own.
54 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
55 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
56 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
57 - Some test and documentation improvements
59 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
60 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
61 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
62 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
65 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
66 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
69 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
70 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
72 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
73 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
75 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
77 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
78 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
80 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
82 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
83 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
84 of request or response classes.
86 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
87 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
88 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
89 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
90 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
91 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
92 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
93 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
94 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
95 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
97 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
98 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
99 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
100 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
101 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
103 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
105 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
106 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
108 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
110 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
111 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
112 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
115 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
118 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
121 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
122 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
124 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
127 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
130 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
132 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
134 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
136 Distribution META.yml changes:
137 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
138 mis-parses from the documentation.
139 - x_authority key added.
142 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
143 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
145 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
146 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
147 is less than helpful.
149 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
150 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
151 in bleadperl. RT#76437
153 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
154 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
157 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
158 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
160 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
161 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
162 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
164 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
167 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
168 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
169 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
170 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
171 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
172 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
174 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
176 - --background option for the server script now only closes
177 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
178 and other loggers which open a file handle when
179 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
180 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
181 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
184 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
187 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
188 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
189 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
190 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
192 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
195 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
198 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
199 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
200 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
201 included when not running from a checkout.
203 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
205 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
206 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
207 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
209 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
211 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
213 New features and refactoring:
214 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
215 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
216 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
218 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
219 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
220 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
223 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
224 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
225 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
227 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
229 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
230 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
231 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
232 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
233 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
234 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
236 Back compatibility fixes:
237 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
238 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
239 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
242 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
245 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
246 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
247 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
249 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
250 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
251 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
253 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
256 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
257 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
258 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
259 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
260 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
263 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
264 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
266 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
267 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
268 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
270 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
273 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
274 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
275 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
276 get them passed through to the application.
279 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
280 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
281 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
282 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
285 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
286 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
287 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
288 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
290 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
291 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
292 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
294 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
295 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
297 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
301 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
302 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
303 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
304 whereas before you had to say:
305 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
306 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
307 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
310 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
311 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
312 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
313 scripts in the application.
314 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
315 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
316 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
321 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
323 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
324 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
325 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
326 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
327 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
328 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
329 and provide an alternative.
331 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
335 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
338 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
341 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
343 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
344 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
345 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
346 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
347 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
348 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
352 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
353 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
355 Backward compatibility fixes:
357 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
358 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
362 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
363 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
365 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
367 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
369 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
370 Backward compatibility fixes:
372 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
373 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
375 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
379 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
380 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
381 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
383 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
385 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
386 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
388 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
392 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
394 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
396 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
398 Backward compatibility fixes:
400 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
402 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
403 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
404 for backward compatibility.
408 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
409 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
413 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
414 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
415 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
417 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
419 Backward compatibility fixes:
421 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
422 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
426 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
429 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
430 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
431 example) Coro is loaded.
433 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
434 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
436 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
437 using MooseX::Deamonize
439 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
440 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
441 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
442 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
443 deployed in these environments.
447 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
451 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
452 file for your application.
454 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
458 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
459 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
461 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
464 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
465 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
467 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
469 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
470 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
472 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
473 IO::Handle's behaviour.
475 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
476 was not breaking out correctly
478 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
479 to also work in the $c->component method.
481 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
482 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
483 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
485 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
487 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
489 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
491 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
492 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
495 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
497 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
500 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
504 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
505 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
506 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
508 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
511 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
513 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
514 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
515 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
517 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
520 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
521 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
522 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
523 the new major version of Catalyst.
526 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
527 of Catalyst has been much improved.
529 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
532 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
533 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
534 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
536 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
538 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
539 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
540 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
542 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
545 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
546 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
547 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
549 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
550 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
554 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
555 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
557 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
558 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
559 developers without changing their application code.
561 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
564 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
565 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
566 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
567 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
568 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
570 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
571 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
573 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
575 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
579 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
580 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
581 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
582 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
583 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
584 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
585 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
587 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
588 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
589 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
590 class, please tell us *now*.
592 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
595 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
597 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
598 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
599 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
600 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
601 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
602 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
605 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
606 the Content-Length header appropriately)
607 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
608 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
609 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
610 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
611 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
612 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
614 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
615 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
616 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
617 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
618 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
619 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
620 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
621 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
624 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
625 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
627 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
630 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
631 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
635 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
636 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
638 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
641 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
643 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
644 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
646 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
648 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
651 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
653 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
656 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
657 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
658 load Utils before MyApp.pm
660 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
663 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
665 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
666 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
667 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
668 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
669 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
671 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
674 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
675 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
676 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
679 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
680 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
685 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
688 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
691 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
692 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
693 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
694 the default action creation.
697 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
698 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
699 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
700 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
701 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
702 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
703 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
706 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
708 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
710 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
712 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
715 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
716 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
717 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
718 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
719 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
722 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
723 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
726 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
727 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
728 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
729 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
731 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
734 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
735 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
736 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
737 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
738 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
739 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
740 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
741 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
744 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
745 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
746 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
748 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
749 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
750 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
751 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
754 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
755 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
758 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
759 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
762 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
765 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
766 the content type and content length if available.
768 Refactoring / optimizations:
769 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
770 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
771 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
772 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
773 screen as easy to write.
774 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
775 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
776 in parameter filtering (for example).
777 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
778 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
779 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
780 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
781 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
784 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
785 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
786 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
787 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
789 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
792 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
793 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
795 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
798 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
799 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
801 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
804 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
805 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
806 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
807 which should not be encoded.
808 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
809 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
811 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
812 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
813 any set of args/captures.
815 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
816 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
818 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
822 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
824 - Various minor typo fixes.
827 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
829 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
832 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
833 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
834 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
837 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
838 - Clarify documentation about debug
841 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
842 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
843 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
845 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
848 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
849 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
853 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
854 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
856 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
857 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
858 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
859 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
860 argv key in the options hash.
861 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
862 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
863 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
864 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
866 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
870 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
871 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
872 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
873 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
874 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
876 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
880 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
881 encoding test controller.
883 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
885 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
886 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
887 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
888 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
890 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
891 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
892 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
893 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
894 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
896 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
900 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
901 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
902 less packed with information of no use.
906 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
908 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
910 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
911 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
912 the single character '0'.
913 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
916 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
917 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
918 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
920 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
922 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
923 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
924 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
925 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
926 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
927 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
928 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
929 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
930 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
931 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
932 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
933 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
935 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
936 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
938 Refactoring / cleanups:
939 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
940 (and then skipped) normally.
943 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
945 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
948 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
949 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
950 on the old behaviour.
952 Refactoring / cleanups:
953 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
954 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
956 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
959 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
960 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
961 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
962 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
963 as there is no recommended alternative.
964 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
965 fallback for fully qualified component names.
966 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
967 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
968 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
969 startup, rather than with the first hit.
970 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
971 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
972 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
973 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
974 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
975 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
976 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
977 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
980 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
981 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
982 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
983 deprecated and causes warnings).
984 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
985 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
986 in the correct order.
987 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
989 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
990 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
991 is deprecated (RT#51489)
994 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
995 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
996 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
997 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
998 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1000 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1001 exception classes need to implement.
1002 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1003 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1006 Refactoring / cleanups:
1007 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1008 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1009 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1010 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1011 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1012 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1013 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1015 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1018 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1019 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1020 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1021 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1023 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1024 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1025 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1028 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1029 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1032 Refactoring / cleanups:
1033 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1034 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1035 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1036 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1037 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1039 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1042 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1043 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1044 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1045 now loaded at most once + tests.
1046 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1047 is returned to 'actions'.
1048 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1049 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1051 Refactoring / cleanups:
1052 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1053 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1056 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1057 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1058 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1060 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1063 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1064 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1067 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1070 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1071 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1072 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1074 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1077 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1078 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1079 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1081 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1084 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1085 application class immutable without that option.
1086 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1087 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1089 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1090 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1091 (hopefully) future versions.
1092 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1093 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1094 variables (RT#48555)
1095 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1097 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1098 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1099 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1100 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1101 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1103 Refactoring / cleanups:
1104 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1105 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1106 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1107 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1108 known issues with 5.8.3.
1109 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1110 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1113 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1114 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1115 for the controller namespace
1116 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1117 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1118 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1119 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1120 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1121 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1123 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1124 frontend port (jshirley)
1125 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1129 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1130 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1131 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1132 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1135 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1138 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1139 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1140 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1142 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1143 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1144 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1145 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1146 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1147 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1151 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1152 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1153 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1156 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1159 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1160 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1162 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1163 in some environments.
1164 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1165 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1166 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1167 except works correctly with closures.
1168 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1169 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1170 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1171 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1172 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1173 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1174 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1177 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1178 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1179 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1180 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1181 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1182 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1184 Refactoring / cleanups:
1185 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1186 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1187 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1188 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1190 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1191 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1192 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1194 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1195 again in Catalyst::Test
1197 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1200 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1201 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1204 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1207 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1208 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1209 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1211 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1214 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1215 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1218 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1219 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1223 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1224 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1225 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.

1227 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1229 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

1249 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1250 to report 'Unknown Error'
1251 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to

1286 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1287 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1289 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1290 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1291 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1292 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1327 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1328 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1329 tries to chain to itself

1332 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1333 - Tests for this (radek)

1351 the correct metaclass
1352 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1353 the restarter process
1354 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1355 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1357 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1358 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1359 immutable restart correctly.
1361 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1362 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1378 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1379 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1380 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1381 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1383 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1384 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1444 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1446 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1447 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1472 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1473 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1474 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1645 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1646 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
