1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout
5 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
6 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN
9 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
10 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
11 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
12 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
13 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
14 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
15 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
16 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
17 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
18 in behavior is compatible on its own.
19 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
20 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
21 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
22 - Some test and documentation improvements
24 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
25 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
26 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
27 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
30 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
31 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
34 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
35 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
37 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
38 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
40 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
42 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
43 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
45 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
47 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
48 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
49 of request or response classes.
51 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
52 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
53 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
54 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
55 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
56 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
57 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
58 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
59 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
60 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
62 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
63 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
64 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
65 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
66 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
68 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
70 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
71 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
73 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
75 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
76 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
77 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
80 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
83 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
86 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
87 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
89 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
92 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
95 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
97 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
99 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
101 Distribution META.yml changes:
102 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
103 mis-parses from the documentation.
104 - x_authority key added.
107 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
108 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
110 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
111 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
112 is less than helpful.
114 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
115 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
116 in bleadperl. RT#76437
118 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
119 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
122 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
123 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
125 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
126 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
127 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
129 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
132 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
133 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
134 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
135 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
136 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
137 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
139 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
141 - --background option for the server script now only closes
142 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
143 and other loggers which open a file handle when
144 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
145 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
146 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
149 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
152 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
153 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
154 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
155 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
157 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
160 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
163 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
164 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
165 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
166 included when not running from a checkout.
168 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
170 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
171 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
172 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
174 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
176 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
178 New features and refactoring:
179 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
180 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
181 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
183 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
184 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
185 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
188 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
189 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
190 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
192 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
194 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
195 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
196 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
197 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
198 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
199 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
201 Back compatibility fixes:
202 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
203 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
204 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
207 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
210 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
211 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
212 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
214 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
215 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
216 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
218 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
221 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
222 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
223 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
224 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
225 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
228 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
229 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
231 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
232 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
233 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
235 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
238 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
239 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
240 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
241 get them passed through to the application.
244 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
245 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
246 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
247 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
250 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
251 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
252 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
253 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
255 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
256 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
257 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
259 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
260 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
262 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
266 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
267 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
268 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
269 whereas before you had to say:
270 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
271 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
272 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
275 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
276 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
277 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
278 scripts in the application.
279 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
280 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
281 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
286 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
288 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
289 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
290 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
291 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
292 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
293 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
294 and provide an alternative.
296 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
300 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
303 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
306 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
308 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
309 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
310 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
311 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
312 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
313 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
317 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
318 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
320 Backward compatibility fixes:
322 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
323 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
327 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
328 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
330 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
332 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
334 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
335 Backward compatibility fixes:
337 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
338 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
340 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
344 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
345 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
346 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
348 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
350 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
351 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
353 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
357 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
359 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
361 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
363 Backward compatibility fixes:
365 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
367 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
368 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
369 for backward compatibility.
373 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
374 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
378 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
379 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
380 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
382 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
384 Backward compatibility fixes:
386 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
387 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
391 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
394 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
395 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
396 example) Coro is loaded.
398 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
399 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
401 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
402 using MooseX::Deamonize
404 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
405 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
406 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
407 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
408 deployed in these environments.
412 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
416 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
417 file for your application.
419 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
423 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
424 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
426 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
429 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
430 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
432 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
434 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
435 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
437 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
438 IO::Handle's behaviour.
440 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
441 was not breaking out correctly
443 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
444 to also work in the $c->component method.
446 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
447 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
448 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
450 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
452 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
454 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
456 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
457 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
460 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
462 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
465 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
469 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
470 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
471 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
473 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
476 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
478 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
479 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
480 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
482 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
485 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
486 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
487 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
488 the new major version of Catalyst.
491 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
492 of Catalyst has been much improved.
494 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
497 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
498 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
499 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
501 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
503 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
504 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
505 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
507 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
510 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
511 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
512 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
514 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
515 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
519 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
520 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
522 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
523 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
524 developers without changing their application code.
526 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
529 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
530 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
531 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
532 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
533 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
535 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
536 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
538 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
540 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
544 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
545 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
546 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
547 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
548 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
549 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
550 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
552 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
553 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
554 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
555 class, please tell us *now*.
557 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
560 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
562 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
563 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
564 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
565 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
566 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
567 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
570 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
571 the Content-Length header appropriately)
572 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
573 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
574 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
575 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
576 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
577 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
579 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
580 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
581 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
582 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
583 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
584 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
585 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
586 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
589 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
590 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
592 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
595 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
596 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
600 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
601 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
603 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
606 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
608 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
609 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
611 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
613 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
616 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
618 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
621 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
622 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
623 load Utils before MyApp.pm
625 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
628 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
630 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
631 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
632 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
633 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
634 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
636 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
639 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
640 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
641 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
644 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
645 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
650 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
653 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
656 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
657 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
658 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
659 the default action creation.
662 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
663 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
664 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
665 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
666 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
667 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
668 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
671 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
673 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
675 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
677 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
680 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
681 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
682 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
683 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
684 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
687 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
688 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
691 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
692 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
693 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
694 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
696 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
699 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
700 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
701 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
702 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
703 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
704 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
705 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
706 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
709 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
710 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
711 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
713 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
714 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
715 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
716 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
719 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
720 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
723 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
724 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
727 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
730 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
731 the content type and content length if available.
733 Refactoring / optimizations:
734 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
735 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
736 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
737 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
738 screen as easy to write.
739 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
740 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
741 in parameter filtering (for example).
742 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
743 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
744 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
745 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
746 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
749 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
750 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
751 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
752 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
754 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
757 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
758 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
760 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
763 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
764 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
766 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
769 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
770 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
771 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
772 which should not be encoded.
773 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
774 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
776 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
777 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
778 any set of args/captures.
780 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
781 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
783 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
787 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
789 - Various minor typo fixes.
792 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
794 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
797 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
798 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
799 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
802 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
803 - Clarify documentation about debug
806 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
807 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
808 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
810 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
813 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
814 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
818 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
819 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
821 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
822 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
823 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
824 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
825 argv key in the options hash.
826 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
827 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
828 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
829 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
831 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
835 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
836 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
837 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
838 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
839 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
841 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
845 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
846 encoding test controller.
848 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
850 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
851 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
852 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
853 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
855 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
856 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
857 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
858 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
859 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
861 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
865 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
866 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
867 less packed with information of no use.
871 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
873 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
875 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
876 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
877 the single character '0'.
878 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
881 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
882 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
883 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
885 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
887 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
888 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
889 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
890 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
891 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
892 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
893 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
894 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
895 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
896 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
897 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
898 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
900 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
901 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
903 Refactoring / cleanups:
904 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
905 (and then skipped) normally.
908 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
910 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
913 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
914 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
915 on the old behaviour.
917 Refactoring / cleanups:
918 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
919 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
921 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
924 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
925 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
926 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
927 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
928 as there is no recommended alternative.
929 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
930 fallback for fully qualified component names.
931 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
932 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
933 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
934 startup, rather than with the first hit.
935 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
936 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
937 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
938 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
939 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
940 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
941 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
942 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
945 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
946 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
947 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
948 deprecated and causes warnings).
949 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
950 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
951 in the correct order.
952 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
954 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
955 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
956 is deprecated (RT#51489)
959 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
960 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
961 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
962 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
963 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
965 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
966 exception classes need to implement.
967 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
968 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
971 Refactoring / cleanups:
972 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
973 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
974 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
975 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
976 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
977 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
978 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
980 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
983 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
984 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
985 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
986 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
988 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
989 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
990 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
993 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
994 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
997 Refactoring / cleanups:
998 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
999 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1000 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1001 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1002 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1004 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1007 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1008 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1009 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1010 now loaded at most once + tests.
1011 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1012 is returned to 'actions'.
1013 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1014 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1016 Refactoring / cleanups:
1017 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1018 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1021 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1022 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1023 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1025 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1028 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1029 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1032 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1035 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1036 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1037 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1039 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1042 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1043 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1044 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1046 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1049 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1050 application class immutable without that option.
1051 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1052 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1054 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1055 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1056 (hopefully) future versions.
1057 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1058 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1059 variables (RT#48555)
1060 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1062 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1063 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1064 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1065 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1066 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1068 Refactoring / cleanups:
1069 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1070 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1071 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1072 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1073 known issues with 5.8.3.
1074 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1075 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1078 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1079 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1080 for the controller namespace
1081 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1082 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1083 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1084 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1085 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1086 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1088 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1089 frontend port (jshirley)
1090 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1094 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1095 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1096 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1097 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1100 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1103 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1104 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1105 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1107 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1108 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1109 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1110 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1111 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1112 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1116 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1117 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1118 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1121 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1124 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1125 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1127 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1128 in some environments.
1129 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1130 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1131 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1132 except works correctly with closures.
1133 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1134 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1135 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1136 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1137 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1138 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1139 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1142 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1143 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1144 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1145 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1146 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1147 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1149 Refactoring / cleanups:
1150 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1151 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1152 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1153 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1155 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1156 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1157 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1159 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1160 again in Catalyst::Test
1162 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1165 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1166 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1169 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1172 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1173 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1174 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1176 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1179 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1180 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1183 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1184 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1188 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1189 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1190 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1191 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1192 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1194 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1195 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1196 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1197 controller naming. (random)
1198 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1199 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1200 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1201 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1202 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1204 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1206 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1207 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1208 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1210 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1211 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1212 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1213 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1214 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1215 to report 'Unknown Error'
1216 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1217 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1218 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1219 parse_on_demand is on
1221 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1222 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1223 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1224 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1225 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1226 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1232 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1233 Test::Aggregate is available.
1234 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1235 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1236 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1237 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1238 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1250 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1251 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1252 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1255 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1256 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1257 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1258 configuration in your application.
1260 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1261 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1286 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1288 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1289 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1291 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1292 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1293 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1294 tries to chain to itself
1296 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1297 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1298 - Tests for this (radek)
1299 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1300 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1301 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1302 - Tests for this (radek)
1303 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1304 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1305 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1306 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1308 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own

1311 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1313 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1314 in production versions
1315 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1316 the correct metaclass
1317 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1318 the restarter process
1319 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1320 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1322 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1323 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1324 immutable restart correctly.
1326 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1327 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1339 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1340 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1341 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1343 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1344 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1345 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1346 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1348 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1349 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1350 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1387 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1388 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1389 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1400 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1401 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1409 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1411 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1412 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1413 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1415 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1416 test sync for engines easier

1437 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1438 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1439 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1610 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1611 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
