1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix problem with from_psgi_response and streaming applications (
5 https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/168).
8 - Fix emitting warnings when REMOTE_ADDR is undefined (RT#113388)
9 - Fix $c->req->hostname empty for IPv6 clients (RT#75731)
10 - split code to log stats report into a separate log_stats method (RT#127392)
16 - use the :utf8_strict (PerlIO::utf8_strict) rather than :encoding file handle
17 layer to handle decoding uploads, as a performance boost.
18 - fix handling of decoding uploaded files. this fixes the usage of sysread
19 on :utf8 handles, and reenables the tests on all perl versions. Fixes CPAN
20 RT#125843. See also erl RT#133585.
21 - giving incorrect types to uri_for will warn to logs rather than via carp
22 - silence warning and error output from tests
25 - avoid problematic test using sysread() on :utf8 filehandles on dev perl
26 versions where this is fatal (starting with 5.29.4). see RT#125843.
29 - fix test for changes in MooseX::Getopt 0.73 (RT#127050)
32 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)
33 - ensure catalyst.pl is included with dist
34 - drop IO::Scalar prereq
35 - include optional test prereqs as develop prereqs
36 - remove unused developer prereq on Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
37 - use namespace::clean consistently rather than namespace::autoclean
38 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
39 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
40 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
41 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
42 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
43 - POD typo and syntax fixes
46 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
49 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
50 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
51 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
52 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
53 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
55 - PR154 - Few dependencies
56 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
59 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
61 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
62 - documentation improvements (ether++)
63 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
64 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
66 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
67 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
70 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
71 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
72 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
74 - Tweaked travis CI script.
77 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
78 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
79 is a 'root' controller.
80 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
81 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
82 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
83 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
87 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
88 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
89 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
92 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
95 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
96 override many core method.
97 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
98 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
99 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
100 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
101 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
102 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
103 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
104 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
105 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
108 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
109 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
110 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
111 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
112 in some configurations.
115 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
116 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
117 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
118 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
119 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
120 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
121 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
122 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
123 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
124 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
125 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
128 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
129 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
130 improve reporting details.
131 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
132 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
135 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
136 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
137 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
138 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
139 which was introduced in the last release.
140 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
143 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
144 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
146 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
147 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
148 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
149 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
150 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
151 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
154 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
155 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
158 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
159 with type constraints.
160 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
161 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
162 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
163 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
164 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
165 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
168 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
169 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
171 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
172 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
173 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
174 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
177 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
178 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
179 to define behavior better.
182 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
184 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
185 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
186 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
187 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
190 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
191 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
192 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
193 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
194 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
195 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
196 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
197 - Merged Pull Requests:
198 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
199 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
200 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
201 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
202 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
203 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
206 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
207 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
210 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
211 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
212 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
213 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
214 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
215 that has proven to work for years.)
218 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
219 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
220 even though they were actually created).
223 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
224 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
225 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
226 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
227 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
229 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
230 - Added swanky github badges.
231 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
232 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
233 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
234 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
237 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
238 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
239 raise an error when registering its actions.
240 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
241 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
242 the injection and do custom injection types.
244 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
245 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
246 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
248 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
249 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
250 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
251 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
253 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
254 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
255 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
256 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
257 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
258 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
259 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
260 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
261 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
262 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
264 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
265 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
266 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
267 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
268 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
269 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
270 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
271 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
273 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
274 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
275 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
276 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
277 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
278 stand alone classes...).
279 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
280 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
281 report any stats related issues.
282 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
283 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
284 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
285 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
286 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
287 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
288 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
290 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
291 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
292 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
293 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
295 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
296 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
297 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
298 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
299 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
300 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
303 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
304 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
305 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
306 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
307 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
308 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
309 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
310 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
311 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
312 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
313 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
314 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
317 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
318 trying to create parameters twice.
319 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
320 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
321 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
322 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
323 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
324 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
325 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
326 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
327 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
328 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
329 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
332 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
333 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
334 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
335 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
336 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
337 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
340 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
341 to prevent it happening again.
344 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
345 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
346 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
347 test case to prevent regressions.
350 - Minor documentation corrections
351 - Make the '79 development series stable
353 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
354 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
355 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
356 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
357 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
359 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
360 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
361 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
362 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
363 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
364 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
365 changes introduced in v5.90080.
367 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
368 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
369 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
370 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
371 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
372 note posted a few months ago.
373 - Added my name to the contributors list
375 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
376 - Merged changes from 5.90078
377 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
378 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
379 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
380 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
381 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
382 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
383 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
384 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
385 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
386 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
387 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
389 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
390 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
391 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
393 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
394 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
395 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
396 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
397 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
398 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
399 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
400 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
401 has already been called (and headers already sent).
402 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
403 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
405 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
406 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
407 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
409 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
410 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
413 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
414 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
415 existing Plack conventions.
416 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
417 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
418 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
419 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
420 don't bubble back up to the main application.
421 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
422 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
423 I highly suggest you test this release.
424 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
425 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
426 correct if incorrect :)
427 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
428 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
429 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
430 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
431 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
432 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
433 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
434 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
435 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
437 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
438 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
439 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
441 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
442 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
443 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
444 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
448 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
450 - updated year in copyright notices
453 - POD corrections (sergey++)
454 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
455 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
456 trouble. (davewood++);
457 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
458 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
459 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
462 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
463 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
464 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
465 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
466 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
469 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
470 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
471 HTTP Exception middleware.
474 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
475 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
476 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
477 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
478 you really need to review this exploit.
481 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
484 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
485 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
486 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
487 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
489 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
492 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
493 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
494 so you can go to hunt it out.
497 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
498 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
499 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
500 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
501 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
502 - Added Italian translation of default error.
505 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
508 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
509 certain tests. No other changes.
512 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
513 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
514 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
516 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
518 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
520 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
524 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
525 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
526 questions or problems!
527 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
528 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
529 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
530 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
531 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
532 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
533 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
534 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
535 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
538 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
539 - documentation and test fixes
542 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
543 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
544 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
545 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
546 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
547 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
548 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
551 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
552 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
555 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
556 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
557 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
558 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
559 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
560 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
561 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
562 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
564 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
567 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
568 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
571 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
572 introduced by a change in December.
575 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
578 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
579 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
580 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
581 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
582 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
585 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
586 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
587 reported while installing.
588 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
589 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
590 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
591 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
592 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
593 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
594 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
595 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
596 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
597 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
598 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
599 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
600 - update copyright notices.
602 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
603 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
604 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
605 fails to install (sorry).
606 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
607 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
608 middleware deal with it.
610 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
611 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
612 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
613 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
614 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
615 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
616 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
617 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
618 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
620 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
621 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
622 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
623 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
624 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
625 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
626 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
627 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
628 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
629 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
631 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
632 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
633 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
634 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
638 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
639 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
640 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
641 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
642 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
643 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
647 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
648 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
649 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
651 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
652 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
653 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
655 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
656 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
657 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
658 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
660 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
661 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
662 - Various POD formatting fixed.
663 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
664 accept and issues that might arise.
667 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
668 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
671 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
672 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
673 for internal methods:
675 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
676 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
677 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
679 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
680 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
681 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
682 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
684 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
685 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
686 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
688 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
689 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
690 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
691 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
692 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
694 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
695 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
696 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
697 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
698 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
699 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
700 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
701 cases to reflect this change.
703 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
704 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
705 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
706 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
707 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
708 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
709 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
710 those keys already exist). Keys added:
711 - plack.request.query
713 - plack.request.merged
714 - plack.request.http.body
715 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
716 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
717 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
718 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
719 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
720 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
721 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
722 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
723 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
724 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
725 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
726 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
727 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
728 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
729 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
730 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
731 is a scalar or arrayref.
732 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
733 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
735 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
736 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
737 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
739 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
740 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
741 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
742 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
743 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
744 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
745 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
746 a development setup (ether++)
748 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
749 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
750 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
751 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
752 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
753 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
754 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
755 case t/data_handler.t
757 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
758 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
759 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
760 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
761 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
764 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
765 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
766 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
767 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
769 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
771 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
775 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
776 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
777 this fixes all of them.
778 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
779 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
780 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
781 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
783 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
786 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
787 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
788 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
789 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
790 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
791 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
792 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
794 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
795 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
796 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
797 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
798 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
799 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
801 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
802 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
803 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
804 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
805 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
806 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
807 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
808 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
810 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
813 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
814 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
815 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
816 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
817 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
818 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
820 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
821 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
822 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
823 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
824 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
825 - smarter validation around action attributes.
828 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
829 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
830 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
831 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
832 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
833 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
834 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
835 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
836 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
837 in behavior is compatible on its own.
838 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
839 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
840 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
841 - Some test and documentation improvements
843 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
844 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
845 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
846 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
849 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
850 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
853 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
854 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
856 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
857 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
859 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
861 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
862 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
864 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
866 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
867 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
868 of request or response classes.
870 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
871 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
872 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
873 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
874 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
875 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
876 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
877 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
878 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
879 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
881 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
882 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
883 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
884 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
885 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
887 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
889 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
890 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
892 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
894 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
895 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
896 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
899 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
902 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
905 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
906 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
908 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
911 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
914 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
916 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
918 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
920 Distribution META.yml changes:
921 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
922 mis-parses from the documentation.
923 - x_authority key added.
926 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
927 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
929 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
930 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
931 is less than helpful.
933 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
934 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
935 in bleadperl. RT#76437
937 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
938 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
941 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
942 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
944 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
945 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
946 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
948 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
951 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
952 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
953 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
954 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
955 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
956 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
958 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
960 - --background option for the server script now only closes
961 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
962 and other loggers which open a file handle when
963 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
964 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
965 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
968 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
971 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
972 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
973 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
974 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
976 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
979 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
982 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
983 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
984 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
985 included when not running from a checkout.
987 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
989 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
990 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
991 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
993 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
995 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
997 New features and refactoring:
998 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
999 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
1000 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
1002 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
1003 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
1004 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
1007 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
1008 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
1009 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
1011 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
1013 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
1014 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
1015 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
1016 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
1017 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
1018 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
1020 Back compatibility fixes:
1021 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
1022 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
1023 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
1026 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1029 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1030 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1031 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1033 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1034 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1035 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1037 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1040 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1041 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1042 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1043 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1044 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1047 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1048 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1050 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1051 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1052 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1054 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1057 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1058 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1059 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1060 get them passed through to the application.
1063 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1064 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1065 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1066 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1069 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1070 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1071 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1072 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1074 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1075 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1076 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1078 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1079 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1081 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1085 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1086 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1087 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1088 whereas before you had to say:
1089 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1090 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1091 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1094 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1095 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1096 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1097 scripts in the application.
1098 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1099 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1100 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1105 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1107 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1108 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1109 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1110 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1111 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1112 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1113 and provide an alternative.
1115 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1119 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1120 MyApp->engine_class.
1122 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1125 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1127 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1128 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1129 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1130 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1131 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1132 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1136 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1137 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1139 Backward compatibility fixes:
1141 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1142 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1144 Documentation fixes:
1146 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1147 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1149 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1151 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1153 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1154 Backward compatibility fixes:
1156 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1157 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1159 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1161 Documentation fixes:
1163 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1164 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1165 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1167 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1169 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1170 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1172 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1174 Cut another release.
1176 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1178 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1180 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1182 Backward compatibility fixes:
1184 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1186 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1187 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1188 for backward compatibility.
1192 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1193 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1197 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1198 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1199 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1201 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1203 Backward compatibility fixes:
1205 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1206 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1210 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1211 been made immutable.
1213 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1214 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1215 example) Coro is loaded.
1217 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1218 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1220 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1221 using MooseX::Deamonize
1223 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1224 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1225 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1226 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1227 deployed in these environments.
1231 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1235 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1236 file for your application.
1238 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1242 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1243 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1245 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1248 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1249 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1251 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1253 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1254 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1256 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1257 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1259 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1260 was not breaking out correctly
1262 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1263 to also work in the $c->component method.
1265 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1266 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1267 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1269 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1271 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1273 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1275 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1276 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1279 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1281 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1284 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1285 not being installed.
1288 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1289 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1290 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1292 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1295 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1297 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1298 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1299 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1301 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1304 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1305 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1306 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1307 the new major version of Catalyst.
1310 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1311 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1313 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1316 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1317 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1318 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1320 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1322 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1323 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1324 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1326 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1327 in Catalyst::execute
1329 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1330 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1331 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1333 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1334 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1338 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1339 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1341 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1342 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1343 developers without changing their application code.
1345 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1348 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1349 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1350 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1351 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1352 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1354 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1355 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1357 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1359 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1363 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1364 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1365 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1366 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1367 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1368 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1369 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1371 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1372 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1373 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1374 class, please tell us *now*.
1376 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1379 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1381 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1382 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1383 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1384 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1385 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1386 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1389 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1390 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1391 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1392 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1393 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1394 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1395 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1396 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1398 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1399 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1400 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1401 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1402 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1403 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1404 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1405 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1408 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1409 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1411 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1414 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1415 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1419 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1420 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1422 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1425 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1427 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1428 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1430 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1432 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1435 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1437 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1440 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1441 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1442 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1444 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1447 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1449 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1450 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1451 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1452 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1453 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1455 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1458 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1459 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1460 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1463 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1464 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1469 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1472 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1475 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1476 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1477 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1478 the default action creation.
1481 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1482 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1483 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1484 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1485 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1486 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1487 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1490 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1492 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1494 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1496 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1499 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1500 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1501 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1502 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1503 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1506 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1507 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1510 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1511 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1512 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1513 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1515 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1518 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1519 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1520 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1521 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1522 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1523 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1524 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1525 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1528 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1529 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1530 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1532 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1533 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1534 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1535 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1538 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1539 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1542 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1543 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1546 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1549 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1550 the content type and content length if available.
1552 Refactoring / optimizations:
1553 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1554 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1555 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1556 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1557 screen as easy to write.
1558 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1559 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1560 in parameter filtering (for example).
1561 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1562 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1563 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1564 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1565 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1568 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1569 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1570 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1571 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1573 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1576 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1577 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1579 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1582 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1583 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1585 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1588 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1589 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1590 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1591 which should not be encoded.
1592 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1593 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1595 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1596 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1597 any set of args/captures.
1599 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1600 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1602 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1606 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1608 - Various minor typo fixes.
1611 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1613 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1616 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1617 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1618 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1621 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1622 - Clarify documentation about debug
1625 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1626 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1627 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1629 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1632 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1633 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1637 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1638 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1640 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1641 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1642 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1643 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1644 argv key in the options hash.
1645 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1646 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1647 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1648 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1650 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1654 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1655 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1656 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1657 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1658 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1660 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1664 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1665 encoding test controller.
1667 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1669 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1670 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1672 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1674 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1675 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1676 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1677 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1678 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1680 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1684 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1685 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1686 less packed with information of no use.
1690 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1692 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1694 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1695 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1696 the single character '0'.
1697 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1700 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1701 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1702 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1704 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1706 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1707 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1708 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1709 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1710 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1711 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1712 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1713 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1714 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1715 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1716 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1717 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1719 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1720 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1722 Refactoring / cleanups:
1723 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1724 (and then skipped) normally.
1727 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1729 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1732 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1733 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1734 on the old behaviour.
1736 Refactoring / cleanups:
1737 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1738 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1740 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1743 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1744 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1745 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1746 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1747 as there is no recommended alternative.
1748 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1749 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1750 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1751 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1752 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1753 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1754 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1755 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1756 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1757 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1758 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1759 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1760 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1761 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1764 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1765 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1766 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1767 deprecated and causes warnings).
1768 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1769 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1770 in the correct order.
1771 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1773 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1774 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1775 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1778 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1779 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1780 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1781 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1782 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1784 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1785 exception classes need to implement.
1786 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1787 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1790 Refactoring / cleanups:
1791 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1792 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1793 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1794 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1795 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1796 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1797 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1799 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1802 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1803 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1804 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1805 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1807 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1808 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1809 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1812 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1813 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1816 Refactoring / cleanups:
1817 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1818 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1819 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1820 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1821 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1823 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1826 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1827 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1828 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1829 now loaded at most once + tests.
1830 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1831 is returned to 'actions'.
1832 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1833 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1835 Refactoring / cleanups:
1836 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1837 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1840 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1841 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1842 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1844 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1847 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1848 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1851 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1854 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1855 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1856 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1858 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1861 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1862 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1863 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1865 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1868 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1869 application class immutable without that option.
1870 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1871 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1873 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1874 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1875 (hopefully) future versions.
1876 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1877 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1878 variables (RT#48555)
1879 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1881 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1882 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1883 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1884 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1885 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1887 Refactoring / cleanups:
1888 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1889 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1890 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1891 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1892 known issues with 5.8.3.
1893 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1894 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1897 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1898 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1899 for the controller namespace
1900 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1901 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1902 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1903 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1904 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1905 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1907 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1908 frontend port (jshirley)
1909 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1913 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1914 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1915 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1916 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1919 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1922 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1923 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1924 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1926 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1927 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1928 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1929 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1930 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1931 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1935 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1936 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1937 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1940 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1943 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1944 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1946 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1947 in some environments.
1948 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1949 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1950 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1951 except works correctly with closures.
1952 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1953 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1954 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1955 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1956 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1957 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1958 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1961 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1962 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1963 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1964 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1965 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1966 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1968 Refactoring / cleanups:
1969 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1970 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1971 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1972 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1974 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1975 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1976 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1978 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1979 again in Catalyst::Test
1981 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1984 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1985 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1988 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1991 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1992 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1993 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1995 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1998 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1999 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
2002 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
2003 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
2007 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
2008 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
2009 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
2010 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
2011 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
2013 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
2014 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
2015 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
2016 controller naming. (random)
2017 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
2018 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
2019 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
2020 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
2021 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
2023 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

2026 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
2027 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2029 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2030 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2031 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2032 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2033 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2034 to report 'Unknown Error'
2035 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2036 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2037 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2038 parse_on_demand is on
2040 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2041 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2042 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2043 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2044 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
2045 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

2047 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2048 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2050 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2051 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2052 Test::Aggregate is available.
2053 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2054 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2055 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2056 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2057 disabling functionality from base controllers.
2058 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
2059 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2060 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2065 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
2066 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2067 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2068 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2069 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2070 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2071 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2074 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2075 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2076 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2077 configuration in your application.
2079 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2080 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2081 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2083 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2084 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2086 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2087 has been made private
2088 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2089 the request parameters with undef + test
2090 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2091 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2093 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2095 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2096 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2097 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2099 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2100 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2101 warning on recent Moose versions.
2102 - Add delta documentation
2103 - Clean up recursion errors
2104 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2105 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2107 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2108 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2110 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2111 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2112 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2113 tries to chain to itself
2115 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2116 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2117 - Tests for this (radek)
2118 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2119 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2120 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2121 - Tests for this (radek)
2122 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2123 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2124 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2125 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2127 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2128 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2130 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2132 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2133 in production versions
2134 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2135 the correct metaclass
2136 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2137 the restarter process
2138 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2139 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2141 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2142 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2143 immutable restart correctly.
2145 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2146 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2147 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2148 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
2149 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
2150 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
2151 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

2155 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
2156 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2157 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2158 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2159 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2160 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2161 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2162 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2163 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2164 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2165 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2167 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2168 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2169 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2172 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
2173 - Add uri_with tests

2186 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
2187 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
2188 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
2191 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

2200 keep-alive requests.
2201 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2202 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2203 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2204 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2206 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2207 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2208 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2209 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2210 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2211 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2212 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
2213 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
2214 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
2215 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
2216 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2217 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2218 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2219 Catalyst::Dispatcher

2379 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2380 throw warnings for two reasons:
2381 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2382 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

2385 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2386 method with a regex as the argument
