1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
5 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
6 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
7 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
8 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
9 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
10 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
12 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
13 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
14 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
17 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
18 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
19 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
20 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
21 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
22 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
24 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
25 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
26 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
27 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
28 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
29 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
32 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
33 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
34 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
35 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
36 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
37 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
38 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
39 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
40 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
41 in behavior is compatible on its own.
42 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
43 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
44 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
45 - Some test and documentation improvements
47 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
48 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
49 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
50 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
53 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
54 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
57 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
58 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
60 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
61 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
63 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
65 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
66 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
68 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
70 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
71 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
72 of request or response classes.
74 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
75 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
76 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
77 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
78 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
79 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
80 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
81 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
82 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
83 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
85 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
86 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
87 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
88 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
89 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
91 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
93 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
94 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
96 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
98 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
99 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
100 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
103 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
106 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
109 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
110 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
112 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
115 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
118 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
120 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
122 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
124 Distribution META.yml changes:
125 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
126 mis-parses from the documentation.
127 - x_authority key added.
130 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
131 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
133 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
134 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
135 is less than helpful.
137 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
138 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
139 in bleadperl. RT#76437
141 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
142 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
145 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
146 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
148 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
149 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
150 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
152 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
155 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
156 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
157 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
158 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
159 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
160 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
162 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
164 - --background option for the server script now only closes
165 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
166 and other loggers which open a file handle when
167 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
168 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
169 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
172 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
175 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
176 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
177 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
178 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
180 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
183 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
186 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
187 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
188 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
189 included when not running from a checkout.
191 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
193 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
194 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
195 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
197 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
199 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
201 New features and refactoring:
202 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
203 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
204 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
206 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
207 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
208 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
211 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
212 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
213 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
215 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
217 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
218 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
219 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
220 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
221 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
222 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
224 Back compatibility fixes:
225 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
226 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
227 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
230 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
233 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
234 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
235 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
237 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
238 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
239 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
241 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
244 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
245 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
246 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
247 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
248 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
251 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
252 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
254 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
255 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
256 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
258 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
261 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
262 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
263 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
264 get them passed through to the application.
267 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
268 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
269 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
270 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
273 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
274 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
275 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
276 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
278 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
279 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
280 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
282 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
283 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
285 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
289 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
290 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
291 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
292 whereas before you had to say:
293 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
294 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
295 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
298 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
299 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
300 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
301 scripts in the application.
302 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
303 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
304 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
309 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
311 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
312 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
313 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
314 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
315 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
316 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
317 and provide an alternative.
319 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
323 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
326 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
329 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
331 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
332 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
333 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
334 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
335 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
336 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
340 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
341 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
343 Backward compatibility fixes:
345 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
346 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
350 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
351 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
353 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
355 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
357 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
358 Backward compatibility fixes:
360 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
361 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
363 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
367 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
368 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
369 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
371 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
373 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
374 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
376 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
380 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
382 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
384 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
386 Backward compatibility fixes:
388 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
390 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
391 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
392 for backward compatibility.
396 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
397 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
401 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
402 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
403 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
405 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
407 Backward compatibility fixes:
409 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
410 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
414 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
417 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
418 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
419 example) Coro is loaded.
421 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
422 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
424 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
425 using MooseX::Deamonize
427 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
428 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
429 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
430 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
431 deployed in these environments.
435 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
439 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
440 file for your application.
442 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
446 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
447 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
449 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
452 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
453 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
455 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
457 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
458 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
460 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
461 IO::Handle's behaviour.
463 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
464 was not breaking out correctly
466 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
467 to also work in the $c->component method.
469 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
470 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
471 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
473 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
475 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
477 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
479 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
480 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
483 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
485 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
488 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
492 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
493 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
494 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
496 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
499 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
501 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
502 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
503 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
505 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
508 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
509 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
510 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
511 the new major version of Catalyst.
514 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
515 of Catalyst has been much improved.
517 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
520 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
521 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
522 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
524 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
526 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
527 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
528 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
530 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
533 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
534 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
535 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
537 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
538 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
542 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
543 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
545 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
546 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
547 developers without changing their application code.
549 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
552 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
553 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
554 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
555 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
556 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
558 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
559 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
561 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
563 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
567 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
568 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
569 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
570 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
571 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
572 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
573 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
575 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
576 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
577 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
578 class, please tell us *now*.
580 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
583 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
585 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
586 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
587 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
588 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
589 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
590 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
593 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
594 the Content-Length header appropriately)
595 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
596 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
597 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
598 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
599 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
600 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
602 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
603 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
604 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
605 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
606 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
607 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
608 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
609 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
612 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
613 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
615 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
618 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
619 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
623 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
624 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
626 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
629 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
631 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
632 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
634 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
636 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
639 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
641 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
644 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
645 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
646 load Utils before MyApp.pm
648 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
651 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
653 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
654 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
655 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
656 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
657 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
659 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
662 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
663 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
664 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
667 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
668 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
673 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
676 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
679 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
680 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
681 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
682 the default action creation.
685 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
686 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
687 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
688 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
689 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
690 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
691 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
694 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
696 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
698 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
700 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
703 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
704 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
705 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
706 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
707 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
710 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
711 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
714 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
715 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
716 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
717 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
719 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
722 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
723 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
724 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
725 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
726 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
727 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
728 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
729 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
732 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
733 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
734 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
736 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
737 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
738 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
739 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
742 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
743 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
746 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
747 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
750 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
753 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
754 the content type and content length if available.
756 Refactoring / optimizations:
757 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
758 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
759 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
760 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
761 screen as easy to write.
762 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
763 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
764 in parameter filtering (for example).
765 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
766 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
767 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
768 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
769 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
772 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
773 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
774 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
775 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
777 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
780 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
781 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
783 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
786 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
787 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
789 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
792 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
793 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
794 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
795 which should not be encoded.
796 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
797 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
799 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
800 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
801 any set of args/captures.
803 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
804 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
806 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
810 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
812 - Various minor typo fixes.
815 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
817 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
820 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
821 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
822 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
825 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
826 - Clarify documentation about debug
829 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
830 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
831 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
833 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
836 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
837 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
841 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
842 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
844 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
845 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
846 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
847 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
848 argv key in the options hash.
849 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
850 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
851 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
852 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
854 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
858 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
859 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
860 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
861 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
862 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
864 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
868 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
869 encoding test controller.
871 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
873 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
874 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
875 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
876 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
878 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
879 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
880 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
881 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
882 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
884 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
888 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
889 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
890 less packed with information of no use.
894 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
896 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
898 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
899 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
900 the single character '0'.
901 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
904 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
905 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
906 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
908 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
910 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
911 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
912 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
913 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
914 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
915 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
916 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
917 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
918 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
919 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
920 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
921 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
923 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
924 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
926 Refactoring / cleanups:
927 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
928 (and then skipped) normally.
931 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
933 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
936 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
937 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
938 on the old behaviour.
940 Refactoring / cleanups:
941 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
942 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
944 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
947 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
948 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
949 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
950 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
951 as there is no recommended alternative.
952 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
953 fallback for fully qualified component names.
954 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
955 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
956 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
957 startup, rather than with the first hit.
958 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
959 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
960 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
961 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
962 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
963 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
964 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
965 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
968 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
969 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
970 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
971 deprecated and causes warnings).
972 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
973 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
974 in the correct order.
975 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
977 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
978 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
979 is deprecated (RT#51489)
982 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
983 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
984 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
985 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
986 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
988 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
989 exception classes need to implement.
990 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
991 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
994 Refactoring / cleanups:
995 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
996 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
997 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
998 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
999 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1000 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1001 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1003 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1006 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1007 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1008 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1009 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1011 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1012 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1013 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1016 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1017 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1020 Refactoring / cleanups:
1021 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1022 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1023 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1024 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1025 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1027 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1030 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1031 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1032 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1033 now loaded at most once + tests.
1034 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1035 is returned to 'actions'.
1036 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1037 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1039 Refactoring / cleanups:
1040 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1041 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1044 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1045 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1046 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1048 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1051 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1052 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1055 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1058 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1059 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1060 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1062 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1065 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1066 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1067 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1069 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1072 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1073 application class immutable without that option.
1074 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1075 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1077 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1078 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1079 (hopefully) future versions.
1080 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1081 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1082 variables (RT#48555)
1083 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1085 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1086 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1087 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1088 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1089 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1091 Refactoring / cleanups:
1092 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1093 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1094 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1095 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1096 known issues with 5.8.3.
1097 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1098 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1101 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1102 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1103 for the controller namespace
1104 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1105 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1106 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1107 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1108 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1109 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1111 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1112 frontend port (jshirley)
1113 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1117 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1118 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1119 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1120 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1123 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1126 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1127 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1128 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1130 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1131 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1132 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1133 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1134 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1135 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1139 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1140 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1141 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1144 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1147 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1148 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1150 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1151 in some environments.
1152 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1153 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1154 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1155 except works correctly with closures.
1156 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1157 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1158 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1159 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1160 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1161 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1162 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1165 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1166 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1167 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1168 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1169 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1170 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1172 Refactoring / cleanups:
1173 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1174 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1175 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1176 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1178 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1179 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1180 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1182 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1183 again in Catalyst::Test
1185 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1188 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1189 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1192 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1195 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1196 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1197 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1199 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1202 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1203 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1206 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1207 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1211 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1212 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1213 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1214 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1215 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1217 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1218 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1219 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1220 controller naming. (random)
1221 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1222 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1223 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1224 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741

1233 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1234 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1235 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix

1237 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1238 to report 'Unknown Error'
1239 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1240 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

1246 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1247 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1257 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1258 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

1273 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1274 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1275 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1278 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1279 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1280 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1314 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1315 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1316 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1317 tries to chain to itself
1319 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1320 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1321 - Tests for this (radek)
1322 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1323 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1324 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1325 - Tests for this (radek)

1336 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1337 in production versions
1338 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1339 the correct metaclass
1340 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1341 the restarter process
1342 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1343 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1345 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1346 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1347 immutable restart correctly.
1349 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1350 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1362 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1363 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1364 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1366 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1367 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1368 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1369 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1371 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1372 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1432 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1434 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1435 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1460 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1461 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1462 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1584 throw warnings for two reasons:
1585 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1586 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1588 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1589 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the

1633 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1634 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
