4 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
5 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
6 is a 'root' controller.
7 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
8 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
9 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
10 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
14 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
15 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
16 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
19 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
22 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
23 override many core method.
24 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
25 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
26 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
27 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
28 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
29 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
30 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
31 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
32 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
35 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
36 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
37 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
38 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
39 in some configurations.
42 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
43 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
44 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
45 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
46 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
47 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
48 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
49 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
50 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
51 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
52 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
55 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
56 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
57 improve reporting details.
58 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
59 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
62 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
63 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
64 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
65 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
66 which was introduced in the last release.
67 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
70 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
71 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
73 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
74 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
75 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
76 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
77 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
78 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
81 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
82 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
85 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
86 with type constraints.
87 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
88 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
89 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
90 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
91 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
92 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
95 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
96 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
98 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
99 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
100 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
101 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
104 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
105 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
106 to define behavior better.
109 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
111 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
112 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
113 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
114 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
117 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
118 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
119 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
120 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
121 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
122 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
123 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
124 - Merged Pull Requests:
125 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
126 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
127 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
128 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
129 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
130 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
133 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
134 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
137 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
138 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
139 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
140 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
141 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
142 that has proven to work for years.)
145 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
146 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
147 even though they were actually created).
150 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
151 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
152 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
153 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
154 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
156 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
157 - Added swanky github badges.
158 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
159 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
160 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
161 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
164 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
165 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
166 raise an error when registering its actions.
167 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
168 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
169 the injection and do custom injection types.
171 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
172 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
173 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
175 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
176 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
177 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
178 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
180 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
181 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
182 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
183 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
184 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
185 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
186 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
187 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
188 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
189 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
191 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
192 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
193 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
194 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
195 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
196 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
197 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
198 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
200 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
201 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
202 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
203 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
204 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
205 stand alone classes...).
206 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
207 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
208 report any stats related issues.
209 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
210 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
211 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
212 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
213 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
214 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
215 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
217 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
218 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
219 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
220 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
222 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
223 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
224 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
225 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
226 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
227 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
230 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
231 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
232 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
233 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
234 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
235 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
236 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
237 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
238 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
239 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
240 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
241 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
244 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
245 trying to create parameters twice.
246 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
247 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
248 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
249 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
250 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
251 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
252 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
253 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
254 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
255 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
256 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
259 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
260 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
261 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
262 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
263 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
264 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
267 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
268 to prevent it happening again.
271 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
272 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
273 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
274 test case to prevent regressions.
277 - Minor documentation corrections
278 - Make the '79 development series stable
280 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
281 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
282 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
283 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
284 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
286 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
287 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
288 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
289 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
290 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
291 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
292 changes introduced in v5.90080.
294 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
295 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
296 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
297 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
298 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
299 note posted a few months ago.
300 - Added my name to the contributors list
302 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
303 - Merged changes from 5.90078
304 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
305 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
306 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
307 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
308 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
309 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
310 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
311 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
312 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
313 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
314 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
316 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
317 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
318 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
320 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
321 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
322 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
323 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
324 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
325 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
326 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
327 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
328 has already been called (and headers already sent).
329 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
330 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
332 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
333 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
334 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
336 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
337 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
340 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
341 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
342 existing Plack conventions.
343 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
344 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
345 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
346 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
347 don't bubble back up to the main application.
348 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
349 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
350 I highly suggest you test this release.
351 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
352 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
353 correct if incorrect :)
354 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
355 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
356 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
357 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
358 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
359 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
360 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
361 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
362 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
364 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
365 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
366 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
368 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
369 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
370 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
371 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
375 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
377 - updated year in copyright notices
380 - POD corrections (sergey++)
381 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
382 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
383 trouble. (davewood++);
384 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
385 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
386 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
389 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
390 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
391 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
392 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
393 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
396 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
397 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
398 HTTP Exception middleware.
401 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
402 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
403 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
404 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
405 you really need to review this exploit.
408 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
411 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
412 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
413 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
414 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
416 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
419 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
420 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
421 so you can go to hunt it out.
424 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
425 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
426 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
427 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
428 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
429 - Added Italian translation of default error.
432 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
435 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
436 certain tests. No other changes.
439 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
440 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
441 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
443 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
445 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
447 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
451 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
452 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
453 questions or problems!
454 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
455 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
456 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
457 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
458 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
459 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
460 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
461 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
462 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
465 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
466 - documentation and test fixes
469 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
470 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
471 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
472 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
473 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
474 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
475 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
478 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
479 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
482 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
483 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
484 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
485 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
486 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
487 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
488 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
489 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
491 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
494 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
495 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
498 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
499 introduced by a change in December.
502 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
505 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
506 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
507 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
508 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
509 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
512 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
513 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
514 reported while installing.
515 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
516 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
517 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
518 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
519 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
520 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
521 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
522 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
523 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
524 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
525 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
526 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
527 - update copyright notices.
529 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
530 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
531 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
532 fails to install (sorry).
533 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
534 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
535 middleware deal with it.
537 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
538 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
539 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
540 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
541 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
542 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
543 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
544 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
545 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
547 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
548 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
549 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
550 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
551 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
552 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
553 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
554 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
555 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
556 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
558 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
559 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
560 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
561 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
565 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
566 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
567 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
568 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
569 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
570 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
574 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
575 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
576 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
578 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
579 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
580 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
582 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
583 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
584 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
585 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
587 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
588 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
589 - Various POD formatting fixed.
590 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
591 accept and issues that might arise.
594 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
595 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
598 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
599 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
600 for internal methods:
602 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
603 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
604 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
606 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
607 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
608 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
609 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
611 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
612 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
613 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
615 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
616 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
617 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
618 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
619 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
621 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
622 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
623 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
624 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
625 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
626 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
627 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
628 cases to reflect this change.
630 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
631 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
632 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
633 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
634 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
635 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
636 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
637 those keys already exist). Keys added:
638 - plack.request.query
640 - plack.request.merged
641 - plack.request.http.body
642 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
643 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
644 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
645 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
646 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
647 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
648 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
649 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
650 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
651 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
652 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
653 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
654 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
655 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
656 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
657 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
658 is a scalar or arrayref.
659 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
660 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
662 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
663 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
664 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
666 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
667 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
668 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
669 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
670 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
671 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
672 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
673 a development setup (ether++)
675 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
676 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
677 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
678 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
679 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
680 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
681 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
682 case t/data_handler.t
684 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
685 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
686 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
687 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
688 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
691 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
692 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
693 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
694 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
696 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
698 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
702 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
703 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
704 this fixes all of them.
705 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
706 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
707 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
708 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
710 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
713 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
714 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
715 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
716 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
717 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
718 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
719 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
721 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
722 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
723 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
724 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
725 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
726 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
728 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
729 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
730 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
731 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
732 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
733 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
734 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
735 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
737 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
740 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
741 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
742 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
743 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
744 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
745 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
747 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
748 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
749 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
750 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
751 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
752 - smarter validation around action attributes.
755 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
756 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
757 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
758 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
759 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
760 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
761 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
762 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
763 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
764 in behavior is compatible on its own.
765 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
766 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
767 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
768 - Some test and documentation improvements
770 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
771 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
772 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
773 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
776 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
777 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
780 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
781 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
783 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
784 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
786 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
788 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
789 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
791 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
793 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
794 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
795 of request or response classes.
797 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
798 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
799 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
800 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
801 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
802 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
803 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
804 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
805 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
806 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
808 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
809 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
810 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
811 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
812 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
814 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
816 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
817 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
819 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
821 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
822 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
823 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
826 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
829 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
832 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
833 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
835 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
838 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
841 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
843 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
845 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
847 Distribution META.yml changes:
848 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
849 mis-parses from the documentation.
850 - x_authority key added.
853 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
854 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
856 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
857 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
858 is less than helpful.
860 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
861 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
862 in bleadperl. RT#76437
864 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
865 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
868 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
869 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
871 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
872 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
873 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
875 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
878 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
879 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
880 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
881 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
882 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
883 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
885 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
887 - --background option for the server script now only closes
888 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
889 and other loggers which open a file handle when
890 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
891 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
892 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
895 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
898 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
899 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
900 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
901 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
903 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
906 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
909 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
910 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
911 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
912 included when not running from a checkout.
914 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
916 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
917 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
918 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
920 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
922 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
924 New features and refactoring:
925 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
926 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
927 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
929 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
930 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
931 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
934 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
935 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
936 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
938 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
940 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
941 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
942 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
943 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
944 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
945 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
947 Back compatibility fixes:
948 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
949 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
950 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
953 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
956 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
957 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
958 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
960 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
961 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
962 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
964 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
967 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
968 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
969 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
970 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
971 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
974 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
975 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
977 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
978 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
979 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
981 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
984 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
985 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
986 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
987 get them passed through to the application.
990 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
991 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
992 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
993 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
996 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
997 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
998 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
999 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1001 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1002 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1003 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1005 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1006 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1008 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1012 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1013 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1014 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1015 whereas before you had to say:
1016 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1017 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1018 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1021 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1022 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1023 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1024 scripts in the application.
1025 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1026 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1027 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1032 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1034 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1035 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1036 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1037 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1038 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1039 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1040 and provide an alternative.
1042 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1046 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1047 MyApp->engine_class.
1049 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1052 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1054 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1055 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1056 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1057 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1058 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1059 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1063 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1064 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1066 Backward compatibility fixes:
1068 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1069 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1071 Documentation fixes:
1073 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1074 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1076 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1078 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1080 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1081 Backward compatibility fixes:
1083 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1084 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1086 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1088 Documentation fixes:
1090 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1091 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1092 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1094 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1096 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1097 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1099 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1101 Cut another release.
1103 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1105 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1107 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1109 Backward compatibility fixes:
1111 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1113 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1114 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1115 for backward compatibility.
1119 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1120 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1124 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1125 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1126 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1128 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1130 Backward compatibility fixes:
1132 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1133 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1137 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1138 been made immutable.
1140 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1141 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1142 example) Coro is loaded.
1144 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1145 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1147 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1148 using MooseX::Deamonize
1150 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1151 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1152 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1153 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1154 deployed in these environments.
1158 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1162 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1163 file for your application.
1165 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1169 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1170 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1172 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1175 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1176 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1178 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1180 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1181 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1183 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1184 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1186 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1187 was not breaking out correctly
1189 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1190 to also work in the $c->component method.
1192 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1193 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1194 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1196 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1198 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1200 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1202 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1203 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1206 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1208 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1211 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1212 not being installed.
1215 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1216 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1217 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1219 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1222 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1224 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1225 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1226 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1228 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1231 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1232 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1233 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1234 the new major version of Catalyst.
1237 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1238 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1240 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1243 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1244 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1245 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1247 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1249 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1250 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1251 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1253 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1254 in Catalyst::execute
1256 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1257 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1258 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1260 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1261 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1265 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1266 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1268 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1269 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1270 developers without changing their application code.
1272 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1275 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1276 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1277 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1278 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1279 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1281 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1282 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1284 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1286 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1290 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1291 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1292 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1293 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1294 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1295 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1296 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1298 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1299 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1300 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1301 class, please tell us *now*.
1303 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1306 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1308 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1309 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1310 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1311 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1312 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1313 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1316 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1317 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1318 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1319 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1320 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1321 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1322 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1323 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1325 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1326 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1327 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1328 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1329 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1330 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1331 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1332 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1335 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1336 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1338 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1341 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1342 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1346 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1347 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1349 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1352 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1354 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1355 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1357 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1359 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1362 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1364 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1367 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1368 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1369 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1371 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1374 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1376 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1377 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1378 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1379 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1380 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1382 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1385 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1386 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1387 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1390 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1391 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1396 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1399 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1402 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1403 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1404 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1405 the default action creation.
1408 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1409 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1410 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1411 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1412 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1413 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1414 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1417 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1419 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1421 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1423 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1426 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1427 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1428 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1429 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1430 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1433 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1434 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1437 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1438 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1439 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1440 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1442 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1445 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1446 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1447 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1448 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1449 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1450 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1451 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1452 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1455 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1456 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1457 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1459 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1460 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1461 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1462 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1465 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1466 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1469 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1470 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1473 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1476 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1477 the content type and content length if available.
1479 Refactoring / optimizations:
1480 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1481 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1482 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1483 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1484 screen as easy to write.
1485 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1486 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1487 in parameter filtering (for example).
1488 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1489 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1490 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1491 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1492 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1495 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1496 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1497 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1498 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1500 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1503 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1504 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1506 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1509 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1510 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1512 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1515 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1516 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1517 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1518 which should not be encoded.
1519 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1520 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1522 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1523 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1524 any set of args/captures.
1526 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1527 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1529 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1533 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1535 - Various minor typo fixes.
1538 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1540 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1543 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1544 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1545 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1548 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1549 - Clarify documentation about debug
1552 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1553 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1554 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1556 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1559 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1560 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1564 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1565 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1567 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1568 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1569 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1570 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1571 argv key in the options hash.
1572 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1573 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1574 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1575 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1577 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1581 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1582 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1583 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1584 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1585 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1587 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1591 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1592 encoding test controller.
1594 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1596 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1597 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1599 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1601 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1602 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1603 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1604 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1605 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1607 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1611 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1612 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1613 less packed with information of no use.
1617 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1619 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1621 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1622 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1623 the single character '0'.
1624 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1627 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1628 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1629 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1631 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1633 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1634 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1635 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1636 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1637 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1638 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1639 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1640 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1641 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1642 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1643 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1644 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1646 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1647 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1649 Refactoring / cleanups:
1650 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1651 (and then skipped) normally.
1654 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1656 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1659 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1660 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1661 on the old behaviour.
1663 Refactoring / cleanups:
1664 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1665 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1667 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1670 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1671 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1672 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1673 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1674 as there is no recommended alternative.
1675 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1676 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1677 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1678 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1679 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1680 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1681 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1682 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1683 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1684 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1685 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1686 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1687 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1688 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1691 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1692 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1693 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1694 deprecated and causes warnings).
1695 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1696 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1697 in the correct order.
1698 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1700 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1701 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1702 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1705 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1706 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1707 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1708 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1709 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1711 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1712 exception classes need to implement.
1713 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1714 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1717 Refactoring / cleanups:
1718 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1719 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1720 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1721 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1722 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1723 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1724 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1726 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1729 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1730 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1731 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1732 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1734 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1735 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1736 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1739 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1740 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1743 Refactoring / cleanups:
1744 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1745 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1746 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1747 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1748 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1750 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1753 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1754 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1755 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1756 now loaded at most once + tests.
1757 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1758 is returned to 'actions'.
1759 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1760 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1762 Refactoring / cleanups:
1763 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1764 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1767 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1768 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1769 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1771 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1774 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1775 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1778 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1781 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1782 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1783 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1785 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1788 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1789 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1790 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1792 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1795 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1796 application class immutable without that option.
1797 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1798 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1800 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1801 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1802 (hopefully) future versions.
1803 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1804 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1805 variables (RT#48555)
1806 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1808 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1809 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1810 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1811 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1812 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1814 Refactoring / cleanups:
1815 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1816 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1817 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1818 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1819 known issues with 5.8.3.
1820 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1821 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1824 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1825 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1826 for the controller namespace
1827 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1828 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1829 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1830 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1831 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1832 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1834 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1835 frontend port (jshirley)
1836 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1840 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1841 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1842 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1843 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1846 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1849 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1850 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1851 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1853 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1854 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1855 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1856 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1857 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1858 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1862 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1863 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1864 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1867 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1870 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1871 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1873 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1874 in some environments.
1875 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1876 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1877 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1878 except works correctly with closures.
1879 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1880 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1881 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1882 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1883 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1884 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1885 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1888 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1889 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1890 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1891 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1892 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1893 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1895 Refactoring / cleanups:
1896 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1897 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1898 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1899 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1901 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1902 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1903 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1905 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1906 again in Catalyst::Test
1908 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1911 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1912 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1915 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1918 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1919 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1920 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1922 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1925 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1926 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1929 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1930 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1934 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1935 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1936 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1937 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1938 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1940 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1941 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1942 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1943 controller naming. (random)
1944 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1945 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1946 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1954 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1956 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1957 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1958 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1959 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1960 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1961 to report 'Unknown Error'
1962 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1963 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1964 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1965 parse_on_demand is on
1967 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1968 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1969 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1970 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1971 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1974 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1975 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1978 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1979 Test::Aggregate is available.
1980 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1981 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1982 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1983 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1984 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1994 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1995 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1996 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1997 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1998 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2001 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2002 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2003 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2004 configuration in your application.
2006 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2007 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2008 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2010 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2011 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2013 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2014 has been made private
2015 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten

2028 warning on recent Moose versions.
2029 - Add delta documentation
2030 - Clean up recursion errors
2031 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2032 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2034 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2035 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2037 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2038 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2039 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2040 tries to chain to itself
2042 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2043 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2044 - Tests for this (radek)
2045 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2046 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2047 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2048 - Tests for this (radek)
2049 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2050 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2051 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2052 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2054 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2055 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2057 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2059 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2060 in production versions
2061 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2062 the correct metaclass
2063 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2064 the restarter process
2065 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2066 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2068 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2069 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2070 immutable restart correctly.
2072 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2073 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

2084 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2085 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2086 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2087 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2088 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2089 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2090 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2091 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2092 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2094 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2095 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

2127 keep-alive requests.
2128 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2129 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2130 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2131 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2133 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2134 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2135 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2136 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2137 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2138 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2139 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

2143 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2144 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2145 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2146 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2147 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
2148 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
2149 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
2150 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
2151 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
2152 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2154 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2155 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2157 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2158 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
2159 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
2161 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
2162 test sync for engines easier
2163 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
2164 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
2166 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional

2168 rather than the stringified ref.
2169 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

2171 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
2172 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
2173 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
2175 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
2176 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

2183 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
2184 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
2185 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
