1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Announcing the repo is now open for development of Perl Catalyst 'Runner'
4 - http://questhub.io/realm/perl/explore/latest/tag/runner
6 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
7 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
8 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
9 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
10 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
11 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
12 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
13 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
14 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
15 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
16 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
17 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
18 - update copyright notices.
20 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
21 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
22 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
23 fails to install (sorry).
24 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
25 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
26 middleware deal with it.
28 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
29 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
30 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
31 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
32 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
33 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
34 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
35 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
36 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
38 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
39 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
40 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
41 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
42 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
43 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
44 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
45 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
46 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
47 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
49 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
50 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
51 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
52 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
56 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
57 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
58 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
59 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
60 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
61 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
65 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
66 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
67 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
69 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
70 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
71 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
73 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
74 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
75 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
76 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
78 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
79 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
80 - Various POD formating fixed.
81 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
82 accept and issues that might arise.
85 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
86 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
89 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
90 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
93 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
94 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
95 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
97 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
98 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
99 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
100 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
102 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
103 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
104 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
106 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
107 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
108 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
109 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
110 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
112 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
113 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
114 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
115 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
116 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
117 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
118 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
119 cases to reflect this change.
121 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
122 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
123 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
124 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
125 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
126 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
127 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
128 those keys already exist). Keys added:
129 - plack.request.query
131 - plack.request.merged
132 - plack.request.http.body
133 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
134 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
135 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
136 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
137 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
138 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
139 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
140 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
141 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
142 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
143 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
144 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
145 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
146 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
147 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
148 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
149 is a scalar or arrayref.
150 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
151 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
153 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
154 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
155 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
157 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
158 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
159 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
160 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
161 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
162 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
163 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
164 a development setup (ether++)
166 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
167 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
168 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
169 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
170 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
171 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
172 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
173 case t/data_handler.t
175 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
176 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
177 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
178 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
179 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
182 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
183 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
184 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
185 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
187 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
189 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
193 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
194 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
195 this fixes all of them.
196 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
197 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
198 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
199 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
201 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
204 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
205 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
206 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
207 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
208 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
209 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
210 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
212 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
213 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
214 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
215 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
216 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
217 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
219 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
220 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
221 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
222 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
223 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
224 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
225 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
226 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
228 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
231 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
232 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
233 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
234 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
235 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
236 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
238 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
239 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
240 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
241 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
242 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
243 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
246 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
247 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
248 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
249 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
250 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
251 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
252 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
253 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
254 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
255 in behavior is compatible on its own.
256 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
257 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
258 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
259 - Some test and documentation improvements
261 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
262 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
263 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
264 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
267 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
268 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
271 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
272 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
274 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
275 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
277 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
279 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
280 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
282 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
284 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
285 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
286 of request or response classes.
288 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
289 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
290 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
291 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
292 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
293 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
294 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
295 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
296 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
297 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
299 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
300 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
301 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
302 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
303 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
305 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
307 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
308 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
310 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
312 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
313 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
314 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
317 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
320 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
323 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
324 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
326 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
329 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
332 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
334 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
336 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
338 Distribution META.yml changes:
339 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
340 mis-parses from the documentation.
341 - x_authority key added.
344 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
345 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
347 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
348 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
349 is less than helpful.
351 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
352 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
353 in bleadperl. RT#76437
355 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
356 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
359 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
360 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
362 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
363 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
364 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
366 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
369 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
370 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
371 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
372 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
373 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
374 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
376 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
378 - --background option for the server script now only closes
379 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
380 and other loggers which open a file handle when
381 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
382 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
383 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
386 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
389 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
390 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
391 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
392 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
394 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
397 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
400 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
401 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
402 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
403 included when not running from a checkout.
405 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
407 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
408 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
409 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
411 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
413 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
415 New features and refactoring:
416 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
417 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
418 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
420 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
421 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
422 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
425 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
426 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
427 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
429 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
431 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
432 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
433 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
434 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
435 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
436 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
438 Back compatibility fixes:
439 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
440 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
441 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
444 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
447 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
448 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
449 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
451 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
452 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
453 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
455 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
458 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
459 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
460 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
461 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
462 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
465 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
466 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
468 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
469 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
470 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
472 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
475 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
476 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
477 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
478 get them passed through to the application.
481 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
482 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
483 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
484 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
487 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
488 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
489 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
490 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
492 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
493 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
494 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
496 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
497 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
499 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
503 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
504 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
505 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
506 whereas before you had to say:
507 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
508 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
509 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
512 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
513 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
514 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
515 scripts in the application.
516 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
517 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
518 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
523 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
525 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
526 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
527 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
528 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
529 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
530 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
531 and provide an alternative.
533 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
537 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
540 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
543 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
545 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
546 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
547 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
548 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
549 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
550 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
554 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
555 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
557 Backward compatibility fixes:
559 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
560 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
564 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
565 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
567 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
569 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
571 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
572 Backward compatibility fixes:
574 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
575 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
577 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
581 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
582 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
583 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
585 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
587 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
588 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
590 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
594 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
596 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
598 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
600 Backward compatibility fixes:
602 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
604 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
605 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
606 for backward compatibility.
610 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
611 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
615 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
616 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
617 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
619 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
621 Backward compatibility fixes:
623 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
624 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
628 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
631 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
632 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
633 example) Coro is loaded.
635 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
636 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
638 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
639 using MooseX::Deamonize
641 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
642 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
643 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
644 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
645 deployed in these environments.
649 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
653 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
654 file for your application.
656 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
660 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
661 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
663 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
666 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
667 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
669 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
671 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
672 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
674 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
675 IO::Handle's behaviour.
677 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
678 was not breaking out correctly
680 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
681 to also work in the $c->component method.
683 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
684 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
685 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
687 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
689 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
691 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
693 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
694 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
697 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
699 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
702 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
706 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
707 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
708 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
710 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
713 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
715 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
716 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
717 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
719 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
722 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
723 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
724 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
725 the new major version of Catalyst.
728 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
729 of Catalyst has been much improved.
731 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
734 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
735 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
736 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
738 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
740 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
741 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
742 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
744 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
747 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
748 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
749 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
751 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
752 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
756 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
757 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
759 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
760 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
761 developers without changing their application code.
763 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
766 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
767 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
768 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
769 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
770 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
772 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
773 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
775 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
777 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
781 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
782 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
783 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
784 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
785 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
786 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
787 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
789 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
790 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
791 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
792 class, please tell us *now*.
794 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
797 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
799 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
800 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
801 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
802 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
803 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
804 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
807 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
808 the Content-Length header appropriately)
809 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
810 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
811 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
812 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
813 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
814 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
816 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
817 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
818 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
819 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
820 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
821 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
822 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
823 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
826 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
827 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
829 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
832 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
833 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
837 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
838 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
840 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
843 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
845 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
846 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
848 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
850 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
853 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
855 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
858 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
859 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
860 load Utils before MyApp.pm
862 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
865 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
867 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
868 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
869 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
870 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
871 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
873 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
876 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
877 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
878 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
881 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
882 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
887 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
890 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
893 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
894 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
895 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
896 the default action creation.
899 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
900 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
901 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
902 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
903 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
904 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
905 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
908 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
910 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
912 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
914 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
917 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
918 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
919 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
920 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
921 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
924 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
925 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
928 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
929 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
930 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
931 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
933 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
936 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
937 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
938 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
939 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
940 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
941 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
942 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
943 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
946 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
947 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
948 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
950 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
951 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
952 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
953 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
956 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
957 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
960 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
961 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
964 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
967 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
968 the content type and content length if available.
970 Refactoring / optimizations:
971 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
972 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
973 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
974 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
975 screen as easy to write.
976 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
977 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
978 in parameter filtering (for example).
979 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
980 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
981 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
982 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
983 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
986 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
987 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
988 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
989 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
991 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
994 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
995 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
997 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1000 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1001 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1003 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1006 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1007 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1008 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1009 which should not be encoded.
1010 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1011 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1013 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1014 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1015 any set of args/captures.
1017 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1018 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1020 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1024 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1026 - Various minor typo fixes.
1029 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1031 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1034 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1035 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1036 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1039 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1040 - Clarify documentation about debug
1043 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1044 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1045 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1047 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1050 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1051 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1055 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1056 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1058 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1059 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1060 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1061 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1062 argv key in the options hash.
1063 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1064 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1065 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1066 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1068 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1072 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1073 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1074 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1075 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1076 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1078 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1082 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1083 encoding test controller.
1085 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1087 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1088 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1090 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1092 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1093 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1094 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1095 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1096 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1098 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1102 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1103 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1104 less packed with information of no use.
1108 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1110 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1112 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1113 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1114 the single character '0'.
1115 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1118 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1119 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1120 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1122 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1124 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1125 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1126 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1127 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1128 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1129 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1130 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1131 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1132 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1133 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1134 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1135 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1137 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1138 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1140 Refactoring / cleanups:
1141 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1142 (and then skipped) normally.
1145 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1147 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1150 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1151 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1152 on the old behaviour.
1154 Refactoring / cleanups:
1155 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1156 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1158 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1161 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1162 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1163 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1164 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1165 as there is no recommended alternative.
1166 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1167 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1168 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1169 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1170 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1171 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1172 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1173 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1174 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1175 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1176 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1177 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1178 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1179 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1182 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1183 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1184 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1185 deprecated and causes warnings).
1186 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1187 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1188 in the correct order.
1189 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1191 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1192 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1193 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1196 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1197 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1198 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1199 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1200 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1202 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1203 exception classes need to implement.
1204 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1205 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1208 Refactoring / cleanups:
1209 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1210 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1211 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1212 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1213 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1214 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1215 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1217 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1220 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1221 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1222 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1223 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1225 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1226 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1227 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1230 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1231 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1234 Refactoring / cleanups:
1235 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1236 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1237 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1238 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1239 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1241 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1244 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1245 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1246 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1247 now loaded at most once + tests.
1248 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1249 is returned to 'actions'.
1250 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1251 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1253 Refactoring / cleanups:
1254 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1255 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1258 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1259 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1260 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1262 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1265 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1266 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1269 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1272 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1273 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1274 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1276 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1279 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1280 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1281 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1283 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1286 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1287 application class immutable without that option.
1288 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1289 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1291 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1292 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1293 (hopefully) future versions.
1294 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1295 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1296 variables (RT#48555)
1297 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1299 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1300 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1301 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1302 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1303 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1305 Refactoring / cleanups:
1306 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1307 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1308 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1309 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1310 known issues with 5.8.3.
1311 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1312 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1315 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1316 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1317 for the controller namespace
1318 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1319 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1320 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1321 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1322 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1323 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1325 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1326 frontend port (jshirley)
1327 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1331 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1332 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1333 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1334 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1337 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1340 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1341 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1342 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1344 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1345 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1346 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1347 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1348 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1349 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1353 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1354 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1355 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1358 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1361 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1362 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1364 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1365 in some environments.
1366 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1367 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1368 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1369 except works correctly with closures.
1370 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1371 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1372 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1373 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1374 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1375 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1376 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1379 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1380 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1381 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1382 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1383 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1384 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1386 Refactoring / cleanups:
1387 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1388 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1389 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1390 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1392 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1393 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1394 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1396 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1397 again in Catalyst::Test
1399 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1402 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1403 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1406 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1409 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1410 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1411 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1413 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1416 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1417 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1420 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1421 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1425 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1426 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1427 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1428 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1429 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1431 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1432 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1433 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1434 controller naming. (random)
1435 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1436 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1437 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1438 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1439 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1441 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1445 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1447 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1448 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1449 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1450 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1451 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1452 to report 'Unknown Error'
1453 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1454 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1455 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1456 parse_on_demand is on
1458 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1459 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1460 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1461 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1462 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1463 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1465 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1466 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1468 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1469 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1470 Test::Aggregate is available.
1471 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1472 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1473 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1474 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1475 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1477 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1478 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1484 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1485 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1486 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1487 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1488 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1489 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1492 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1493 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1494 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1495 configuration in your application.
1497 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1498 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1499 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1501 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1502 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1504 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1505 has been made private
1506 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten

1509 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1511 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1513 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1514 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1515 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1517 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

1519 warning on recent Moose versions.
1520 - Add delta documentation
1521 - Clean up recursion errors
1522 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1523 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1525 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1526 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1528 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1529 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1530 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1531 tries to chain to itself
1533 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1534 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1535 - Tests for this (radek)
1536 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1537 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1538 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1539 - Tests for this (radek)
1540 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1541 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1542 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1543 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1545 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1546 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1548 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1550 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1551 in production versions
1552 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1553 the correct metaclass
1554 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1555 the restarter process
1556 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1557 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1559 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1560 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1561 immutable restart correctly.
1563 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1564 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1575 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1576 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1577 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1578 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1579 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1580 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1581 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1582 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1583 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1585 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1586 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1587 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1618 keep-alive requests.
1619 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1620 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1621 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1622 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1624 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1625 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1626 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1627 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1628 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1629 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1630 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

1634 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1635 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1636 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1637 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1638 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1639 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1640 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1641 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1642 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1643 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1645 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1646 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1648 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1649 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1650 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1652 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1653 test sync for engines easier
1654 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1655 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1657 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1658 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1659 rather than the stringified ref.
1660 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

1662 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1663 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1664 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1666 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1667 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1668 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1670 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1671 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1672 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1673 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1674 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1675 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1676 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1679 the key from the instance hash
1680 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1681 trivial delegation methods
1682 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
