1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
5 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
6 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
7 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
8 which was introduced in the last release.
9 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
12 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
13 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
15 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
16 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
17 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
18 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
19 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
20 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
23 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
24 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
27 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
28 with type constraints.
29 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
30 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
31 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
32 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
33 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
34 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
37 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
38 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
40 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
41 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
42 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
43 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
46 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
47 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
48 to define behavior better.
51 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
53 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
54 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
55 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
56 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
59 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
60 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
61 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
62 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
63 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
64 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
65 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
66 - Merged Pull Requests:
67 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
68 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
69 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
70 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
71 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
72 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
75 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
76 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
79 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
80 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
81 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
82 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
83 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
84 that has proven to work for years.)
87 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
88 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
89 even though they were actually created).
92 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
93 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
94 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
95 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
96 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
98 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
99 - Added swanky github badges.
100 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
101 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
102 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
103 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
106 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
107 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
108 raise an error when registering its actions.
109 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
110 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
111 the injection and do custom injection types.
113 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
114 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
115 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
117 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
118 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
119 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
120 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
122 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
123 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
124 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
125 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
126 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
127 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
128 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
129 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
130 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
131 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
133 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
134 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
135 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
136 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
137 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
138 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
139 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
140 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
142 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
143 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
144 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
145 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
146 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
147 stand alone classes...).
148 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
149 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
150 report any stats related issues.
151 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
152 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
153 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
154 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
155 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
156 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
157 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
159 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
160 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
161 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
162 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
164 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
165 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
166 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
167 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
168 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
169 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
172 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
173 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
174 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
175 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
176 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
177 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
178 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
179 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
180 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
181 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
182 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
183 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
186 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
187 trying to create parameters twice.
188 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
189 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
190 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
191 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
192 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
193 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
194 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
195 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
196 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
197 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
198 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
201 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
202 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
203 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
204 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
205 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
206 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
209 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
210 to prevent it happening again.
213 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
214 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
215 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
216 test case to prevent regressions.
219 - Minor documentation corrections
220 - Make the '79 development series stable
222 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
223 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
224 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
225 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
226 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
228 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
229 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
230 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
231 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
232 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
233 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
234 changes introduced in v5.90080.
236 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
237 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
238 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
239 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
240 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
241 note posted a few months ago.
242 - Added my name to the contributors list
244 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
245 - Merged changes from 5.90078
246 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
247 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
248 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
249 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
250 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
251 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
252 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
253 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
254 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
255 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
256 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
258 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
259 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
260 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
262 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
263 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
264 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
265 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
266 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
267 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
268 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
269 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
270 has already been called (and headers already sent).
271 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
272 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
274 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
275 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
276 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
278 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
279 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
282 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
283 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
284 existing Plack conventions.
285 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
286 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
287 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
288 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
289 don't bubble back up to the main application.
290 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
291 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
292 I highly suggest you test this release.
293 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
294 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
295 correct if incorrect :)
296 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
297 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
298 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
299 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
300 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
301 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
302 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
303 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
304 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
306 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
307 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
308 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
310 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
311 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
312 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
313 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
317 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
319 - updated year in copyright notices
322 - POD corrections (sergey++)
323 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
324 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
325 trouble. (davewood++);
326 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
327 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
328 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
331 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
332 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
333 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
334 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
335 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
338 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
339 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
340 HTTP Exception middleware.
343 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
344 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
345 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
346 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
347 you really need to review this exploit.
350 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
353 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
354 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
355 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
356 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
358 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
361 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
362 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
363 so you can go to hunt it out.
366 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
367 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
368 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
369 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
370 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
371 - Added Italian translation of default error.
374 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
377 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
378 certain tests. No other changes.
381 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
382 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
383 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
385 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
387 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
389 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
393 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
394 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
395 questions or problems!
396 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
397 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
398 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
399 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
400 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
401 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
402 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
403 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
404 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
407 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
408 - documentation and test fixes
411 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
412 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
413 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
414 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
415 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
416 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
417 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
420 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
421 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
424 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
425 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
426 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
427 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
428 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
429 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
430 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
431 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
433 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
436 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
437 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
440 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
441 introduced by a change in December.
444 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
447 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
448 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
449 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
450 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
451 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
454 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
455 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
456 reported while installing.
457 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
458 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
459 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
460 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
461 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
462 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
463 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
464 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
465 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
466 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
467 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
468 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
469 - update copyright notices.
471 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
472 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
473 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
474 fails to install (sorry).
475 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
476 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
477 middleware deal with it.
479 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
480 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
481 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
482 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
483 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
484 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
485 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
486 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
487 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
489 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
490 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
491 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
492 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
493 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
494 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
495 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
496 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
497 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
498 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
500 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
501 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
502 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
503 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
507 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
508 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
509 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
510 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
511 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
512 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
516 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
517 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
518 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
520 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
521 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
522 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
524 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
525 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
526 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
527 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
529 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
530 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
531 - Various POD formatting fixed.
532 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
533 accept and issues that might arise.
536 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
537 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
540 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
541 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
542 for internal methods:
544 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
545 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
546 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
548 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
549 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
550 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
551 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
553 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
554 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
555 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
557 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
558 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
559 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
560 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
561 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
563 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
564 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
565 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
566 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
567 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
568 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
569 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
570 cases to reflect this change.
572 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
573 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
574 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
575 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
576 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
577 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
578 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
579 those keys already exist). Keys added:
580 - plack.request.query
582 - plack.request.merged
583 - plack.request.http.body
584 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
585 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
586 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
587 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
588 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
589 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
590 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
591 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
592 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
593 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
594 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
595 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
596 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
597 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
598 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
599 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
600 is a scalar or arrayref.
601 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
602 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
604 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
605 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
606 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
608 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
609 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
610 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
611 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
612 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
613 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
614 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
615 a development setup (ether++)
617 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
618 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
619 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
620 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
621 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
622 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
623 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
624 case t/data_handler.t
626 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
627 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
628 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
629 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
630 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
633 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
634 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
635 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
636 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
638 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
640 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
644 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
645 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
646 this fixes all of them.
647 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
648 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
649 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
650 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
652 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
655 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
656 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
657 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
658 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
659 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
660 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
661 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
663 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
664 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
665 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
666 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
667 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
668 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
670 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
671 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
672 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
673 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
674 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
675 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
676 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
677 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
679 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
682 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
683 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
684 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
685 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
686 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
687 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
689 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
690 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
691 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
692 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
693 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
694 - smarter validation around action attributes.
697 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
698 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
699 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
700 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
701 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
702 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
703 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
704 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
705 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
706 in behavior is compatible on its own.
707 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
708 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
709 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
710 - Some test and documentation improvements
712 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
713 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
714 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
715 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
718 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
719 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
722 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
723 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
725 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
726 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
728 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
730 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
731 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
733 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
735 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
736 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
737 of request or response classes.
739 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
740 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
741 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
742 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
743 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
744 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
745 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
746 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
747 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
748 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
750 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
751 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
752 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
753 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
754 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
756 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
758 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
759 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
761 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
763 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
764 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
765 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
768 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
771 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
774 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
775 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
777 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
780 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
783 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
785 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
787 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
789 Distribution META.yml changes:
790 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
791 mis-parses from the documentation.
792 - x_authority key added.
795 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
796 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
798 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
799 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
800 is less than helpful.
802 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
803 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
804 in bleadperl. RT#76437
806 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
807 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
810 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
811 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
813 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
814 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
815 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
817 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
820 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
821 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
822 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
823 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
824 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
825 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
827 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
829 - --background option for the server script now only closes
830 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
831 and other loggers which open a file handle when
832 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
833 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
834 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
837 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
840 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
841 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
842 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
843 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
845 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
848 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
851 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
852 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
853 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
854 included when not running from a checkout.
856 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
858 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
859 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
860 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
862 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
864 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
866 New features and refactoring:
867 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
868 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
869 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
871 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
872 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
873 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
876 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
877 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
878 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
880 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
882 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
883 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
884 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
885 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
886 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
887 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
889 Back compatibility fixes:
890 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
891 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
892 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
895 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
898 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
899 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
900 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
902 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
903 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
904 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
906 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
909 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
910 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
911 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
912 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
913 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
916 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
917 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
919 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
920 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
921 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
923 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
926 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
927 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
928 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
929 get them passed through to the application.
932 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
933 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
934 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
935 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
938 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
939 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
940 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
941 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
943 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
944 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
945 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
947 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
948 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
950 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
954 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
955 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
956 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
957 whereas before you had to say:
958 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
959 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
960 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
963 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
964 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
965 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
966 scripts in the application.
967 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
968 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
969 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
974 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
976 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
977 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
978 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
979 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
980 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
981 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
982 and provide an alternative.
984 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
988 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
991 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
994 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
996 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
997 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
998 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
999 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1000 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1001 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1005 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1006 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1008 Backward compatibility fixes:
1010 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1011 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1013 Documentation fixes:
1015 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1016 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1018 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1020 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1022 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1023 Backward compatibility fixes:
1025 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1026 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1028 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1030 Documentation fixes:
1032 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1033 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1034 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1036 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1038 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1039 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1041 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1043 Cut another release.
1045 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1047 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1049 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1051 Backward compatibility fixes:
1053 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1055 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1056 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1057 for backward compatibility.
1061 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1062 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1066 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1067 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1068 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1070 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1072 Backward compatibility fixes:
1074 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1075 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1079 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1080 been made immutable.
1082 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1083 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1084 example) Coro is loaded.
1086 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1087 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1089 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1090 using MooseX::Deamonize
1092 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1093 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1094 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1095 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1096 deployed in these environments.
1100 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1104 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1105 file for your application.
1107 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1111 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1112 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1114 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1117 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1118 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1120 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1122 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1123 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1125 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1126 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1128 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1129 was not breaking out correctly
1131 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1132 to also work in the $c->component method.
1134 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1135 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1136 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1138 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1140 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1142 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1144 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1145 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1148 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1150 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1153 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1154 not being installed.
1157 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1158 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1159 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1161 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1164 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1166 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1167 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1168 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1170 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1173 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1174 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1175 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1176 the new major version of Catalyst.
1179 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1180 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1182 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1185 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1186 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1187 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1189 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1191 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1192 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1193 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1195 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1196 in Catalyst::execute
1198 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1199 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1200 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1202 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1203 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1207 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1208 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1210 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1211 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1212 developers without changing their application code.
1214 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1217 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1218 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1219 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1220 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1221 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1223 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1224 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1226 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1228 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1232 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1233 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1234 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1235 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1236 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1237 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1238 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1240 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1241 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1242 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1243 class, please tell us *now*.
1245 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1248 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1250 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1251 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1252 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1253 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1254 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1255 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1258 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1259 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1260 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1261 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1262 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1263 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1264 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1265 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1267 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1268 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1269 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1270 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1271 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1272 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1273 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1274 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1277 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1278 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1280 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1283 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1284 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1288 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1289 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1291 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1294 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1296 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1297 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1299 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1301 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1304 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1306 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1309 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1310 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1311 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1313 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1316 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1318 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1319 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1320 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1321 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1322 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1324 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1327 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1328 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1329 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1332 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1333 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1338 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1341 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1344 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1345 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1346 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1347 the default action creation.
1350 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1351 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1352 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1353 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1354 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1355 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1356 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1359 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1361 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1363 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1365 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1368 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1369 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1370 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1371 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1372 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1375 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1376 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1379 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1380 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1381 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1382 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1384 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1387 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1388 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1389 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1390 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1391 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1392 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1393 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1394 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1397 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1398 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1399 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1401 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1402 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1403 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1404 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1407 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1408 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1411 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1412 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1415 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1418 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1419 the content type and content length if available.
1421 Refactoring / optimizations:
1422 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1423 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1424 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1425 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1426 screen as easy to write.
1427 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1428 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1429 in parameter filtering (for example).
1430 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1431 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1432 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1433 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1434 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1437 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1438 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1439 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1440 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1442 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1445 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1446 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1448 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1451 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1452 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1454 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1457 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1458 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1459 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1460 which should not be encoded.
1461 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1462 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1464 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1465 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1466 any set of args/captures.
1468 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1469 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1471 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1475 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1477 - Various minor typo fixes.
1480 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1482 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1485 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1486 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1487 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1490 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1491 - Clarify documentation about debug
1494 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1495 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1496 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1498 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1501 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1502 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1506 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1507 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1509 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1510 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1511 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1512 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1513 argv key in the options hash.
1514 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1515 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1516 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1517 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1519 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1523 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1524 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1525 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1526 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1527 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1529 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1533 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1534 encoding test controller.
1536 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1538 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1539 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1541 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1543 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1544 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1545 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1546 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1547 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1549 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1553 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1554 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1555 less packed with information of no use.
1559 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1561 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1563 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1564 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1565 the single character '0'.
1566 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1569 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1570 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1571 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1573 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1575 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1576 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1577 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1578 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1579 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1580 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1581 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1582 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1583 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1584 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1585 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1586 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1588 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1589 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1591 Refactoring / cleanups:
1592 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1593 (and then skipped) normally.
1596 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1598 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1601 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1602 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1603 on the old behaviour.
1605 Refactoring / cleanups:
1606 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1607 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1609 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1612 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1613 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1614 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1615 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1616 as there is no recommended alternative.
1617 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1618 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1619 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1620 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1621 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1622 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1623 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1624 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1625 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1626 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1627 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1628 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1629 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1630 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1633 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1634 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1635 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1636 deprecated and causes warnings).
1637 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1638 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1639 in the correct order.
1640 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1642 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1643 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1644 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1647 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1648 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1649 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1650 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1651 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1653 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1654 exception classes need to implement.
1655 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1656 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1659 Refactoring / cleanups:
1660 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1661 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1662 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1663 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1664 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1665 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1666 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1668 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1671 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1672 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1673 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1674 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1676 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1677 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1678 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1681 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1682 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1685 Refactoring / cleanups:
1686 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1687 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1688 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1689 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1690 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771

1695 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1696 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1697 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1698 now loaded at most once + tests.
1699 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1700 is returned to 'actions'.
1701 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1702 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1704 Refactoring / cleanups:
1705 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1706 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1709 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1710 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1711 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1713 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1716 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1717 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1720 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1723 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1724 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1725 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1727 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1730 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1731 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1732 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1734 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1737 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1738 application class immutable without that option.
1739 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1740 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1742 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1743 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1744 (hopefully) future versions.
1745 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1746 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1747 variables (RT#48555)
1748 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1750 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1751 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1752 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1753 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1754 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1756 Refactoring / cleanups:
1757 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1758 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1759 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1760 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1761 known issues with 5.8.3.
1762 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1763 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1766 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1767 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1768 for the controller namespace
1769 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1770 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1771 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1772 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1773 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1774 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1776 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1777 frontend port (jshirley)
1778 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1782 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1783 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1784 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1785 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.

1792 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1793 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1795 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1796 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1797 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1798 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1799 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1800 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1804 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1805 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1806 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1809 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1812 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1813 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1815 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1816 in some environments.
1817 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1818 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1819 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1820 except works correctly with closures.
1821 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1822 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1823 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1824 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1825 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1826 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1827 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1830 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1831 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1832 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1833 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1834 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1835 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1837 Refactoring / cleanups:
1838 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1839 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1840 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1841 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1843 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1844 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1845 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1847 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1848 again in Catalyst::Test
1850 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1854 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1857 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1860 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1861 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1862 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1864 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1867 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1868 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1871 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1872 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1876 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1877 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1878 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1879 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1880 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1882 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1883 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1884 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1885 controller naming. (random)
1886 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1887 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1888 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1896 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1898 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1899 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1900 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1901 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1902 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1903 to report 'Unknown Error'
1904 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1905 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1906 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1907 parse_on_demand is on
1909 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1910 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1911 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1912 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1913 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1916 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1917 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1923 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1924 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1925 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1926 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1935 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
1936 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1937 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1938 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1939 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1940 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1943 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1944 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1945 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1946 configuration in your application.
1948 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1949 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1979 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1980 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1981 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1982 tries to chain to itself
1984 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1985 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1986 - Tests for this (radek)
1987 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1988 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1989 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly

2001 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2002 in production versions
2003 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2004 the correct metaclass
2005 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2006 the restarter process
2007 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2008 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2010 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2011 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2012 immutable restart correctly.
2014 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2015 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

2031 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2032 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2033 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2034 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2036 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2037 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

2071 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2072 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

2088 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2089 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2094 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2096 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2097 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2099 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2100 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2248 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2249 throw warnings for two reasons:

2254 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2255 method with a regex as the argument
