1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
5 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
6 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
7 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
10 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
11 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
12 improve reporting details.
13 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
14 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
17 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
18 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
19 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
20 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
21 which was introduced in the last release.
22 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
25 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
26 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
28 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
29 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
30 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
31 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
32 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
33 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
36 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
37 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
40 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
41 with type constraints.
42 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
43 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
44 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
45 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
46 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
47 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
50 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
51 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
53 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
54 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
55 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
56 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
59 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
60 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
61 to define behavior better.
64 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
66 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
67 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
68 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
69 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
72 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
73 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
74 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
75 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
76 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
77 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
78 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
79 - Merged Pull Requests:
80 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
81 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
82 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
83 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
84 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
85 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
88 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
89 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
92 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
93 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
94 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
95 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
96 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
97 that has proven to work for years.)
100 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
101 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
102 even though they were actually created).
105 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
106 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
107 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
108 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
109 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
111 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
112 - Added swanky github badges.
113 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
114 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
115 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
116 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
119 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
120 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
121 raise an error when registering its actions.
122 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
123 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
124 the injection and do custom injection types.
126 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
127 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
128 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
130 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
131 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
132 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
133 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
135 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
136 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
137 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
138 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
139 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
140 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
141 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
142 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
143 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
144 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
146 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
147 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
148 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
149 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
150 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
151 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
152 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
153 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
155 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
156 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
157 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
158 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
159 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
160 stand alone classes...).
161 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
162 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
163 report any stats related issues.
164 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
165 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
166 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
167 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
168 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
169 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
170 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
172 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
173 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
174 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
175 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
177 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
178 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
179 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
180 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
181 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
182 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
185 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
186 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
187 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
188 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
189 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
190 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
191 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
192 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
193 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
194 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
195 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
196 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
199 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
200 trying to create parameters twice.
201 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
202 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
203 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
204 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
205 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
206 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
207 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
208 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
209 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
210 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
211 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
214 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
215 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
216 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
217 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
218 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
219 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
222 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
223 to prevent it happening again.
226 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
227 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
228 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
229 test case to prevent regressions.
232 - Minor documentation corrections
233 - Make the '79 development series stable
235 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
236 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
237 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
238 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
239 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
241 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
242 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
243 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
244 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
245 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
246 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
247 changes introduced in v5.90080.
249 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
250 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
251 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
252 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
253 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
254 note posted a few months ago.
255 - Added my name to the contributors list
257 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
258 - Merged changes from 5.90078
259 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
260 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
261 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
262 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
263 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
264 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
265 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
266 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
267 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
268 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
269 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
271 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
272 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
273 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
275 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
276 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
277 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
278 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
279 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
280 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
281 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
282 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
283 has already been called (and headers already sent).
284 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
285 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
287 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
288 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
289 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
291 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
292 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
295 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
296 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
297 existing Plack conventions.
298 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
299 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
300 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
301 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
302 don't bubble back up to the main application.
303 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
304 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
305 I highly suggest you test this release.
306 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
307 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
308 correct if incorrect :)
309 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
310 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
311 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
312 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
313 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
314 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
315 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
316 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
317 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
319 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
320 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
321 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
323 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
324 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
325 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
326 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
330 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
332 - updated year in copyright notices
335 - POD corrections (sergey++)
336 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
337 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
338 trouble. (davewood++);
339 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
340 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
341 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
344 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
345 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
346 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
347 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
348 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
351 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
352 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
353 HTTP Exception middleware.
356 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
357 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
358 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
359 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
360 you really need to review this exploit.
363 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
366 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
367 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
368 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
369 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
371 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
374 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
375 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
376 so you can go to hunt it out.
379 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
380 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
381 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
382 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
383 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
384 - Added Italian translation of default error.
387 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
390 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
391 certain tests. No other changes.
394 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
395 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
396 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
398 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
400 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
402 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
406 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
407 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
408 questions or problems!
409 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
410 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
411 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
412 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
413 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
414 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
415 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
416 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
417 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
420 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
421 - documentation and test fixes
424 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
425 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
426 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
427 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
428 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
429 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
430 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
433 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
434 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
437 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
438 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
439 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
440 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
441 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
442 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
443 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
444 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
446 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
449 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
450 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
453 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
454 introduced by a change in December.
457 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
460 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
461 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
462 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
463 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
464 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
467 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
468 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
469 reported while installing.
470 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
471 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
472 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
473 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
474 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
475 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
476 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
477 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
478 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
479 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
480 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
481 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
482 - update copyright notices.
484 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
485 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
486 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
487 fails to install (sorry).
488 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
489 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
490 middleware deal with it.
492 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
493 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
494 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
495 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
496 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
497 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
498 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
499 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
500 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
502 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
503 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
504 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
505 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
506 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
507 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
508 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
509 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
510 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
511 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
513 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
514 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
515 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
516 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
520 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
521 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
522 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
523 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
524 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
525 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
529 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
530 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
531 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
533 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
534 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
535 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
537 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
538 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
539 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
540 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
542 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
543 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
544 - Various POD formatting fixed.
545 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
546 accept and issues that might arise.
549 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
550 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
553 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
554 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
555 for internal methods:
557 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
558 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
559 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
561 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
562 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
563 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
564 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
566 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
567 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
568 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
570 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
571 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
572 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
573 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
574 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
576 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
577 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
578 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
579 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
580 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
581 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
582 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
583 cases to reflect this change.
585 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
586 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
587 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
588 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
589 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
590 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
591 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
592 those keys already exist). Keys added:
593 - plack.request.query
595 - plack.request.merged
596 - plack.request.http.body
597 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
598 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
599 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
600 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
601 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
602 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
603 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
604 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
605 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
606 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
607 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
608 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
609 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
610 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
611 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
612 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
613 is a scalar or arrayref.
614 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
615 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
617 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
618 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
619 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
621 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
622 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
623 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
624 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
625 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
626 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
627 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
628 a development setup (ether++)
630 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
631 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
632 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
633 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
634 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
635 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
636 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
637 case t/data_handler.t
639 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
640 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
641 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
642 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
643 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
646 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
647 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
648 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
649 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
651 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
653 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
657 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
658 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
659 this fixes all of them.
660 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
661 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
662 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
663 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
665 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
668 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
669 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
670 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
671 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
672 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
673 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
674 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
676 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
677 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
678 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
679 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
680 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
681 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
683 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
684 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
685 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
686 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
687 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
688 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
689 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
690 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
692 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
695 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
696 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
697 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
698 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
699 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
700 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
702 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
703 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
704 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
705 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
706 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
707 - smarter validation around action attributes.
710 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
711 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
712 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
713 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
714 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
715 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
716 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
717 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
718 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
719 in behavior is compatible on its own.
720 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
721 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
722 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
723 - Some test and documentation improvements
725 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
726 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
727 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
728 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
731 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
732 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
735 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
736 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
738 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
739 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
741 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
743 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
744 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
746 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
748 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
749 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
750 of request or response classes.
752 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
753 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
754 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
755 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
756 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
757 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
758 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
759 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
760 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
761 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
763 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
764 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
765 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
766 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
767 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
769 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
771 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
772 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
774 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
776 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
777 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
778 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
781 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
784 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
787 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
788 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
790 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
793 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
796 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
798 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
800 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
802 Distribution META.yml changes:
803 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
804 mis-parses from the documentation.
805 - x_authority key added.
808 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
809 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
811 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
812 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
813 is less than helpful.
815 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
816 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
817 in bleadperl. RT#76437
819 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
820 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
823 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
824 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
826 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
827 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
828 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
830 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
833 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
834 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
835 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
836 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
837 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
838 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
840 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
842 - --background option for the server script now only closes
843 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
844 and other loggers which open a file handle when
845 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
846 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
847 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
850 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
853 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
854 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
855 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
856 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
858 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
861 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
864 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
865 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
866 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
867 included when not running from a checkout.
869 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
871 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
872 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
873 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
875 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
877 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
879 New features and refactoring:
880 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
881 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
882 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
884 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
885 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
886 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
889 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
890 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
891 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
893 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
895 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
896 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
897 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
898 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
899 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
900 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
902 Back compatibility fixes:
903 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
904 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
905 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
908 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
911 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
912 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
913 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
915 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
916 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
917 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
919 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
922 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
923 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
924 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
925 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
926 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
929 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
930 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
932 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
933 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
934 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
936 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
939 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
940 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
941 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
942 get them passed through to the application.
945 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
946 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
947 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
948 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
951 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
952 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
953 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
954 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
956 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
957 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
958 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
960 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
961 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
963 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
967 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
968 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
969 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
970 whereas before you had to say:
971 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
972 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
973 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
976 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
977 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
978 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
979 scripts in the application.
980 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
981 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
982 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
987 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
989 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
990 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
991 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
992 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
993 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
994 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
995 and provide an alternative.
997 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1001 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1002 MyApp->engine_class.
1004 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1007 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1009 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1010 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1011 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1012 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1013 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1014 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1018 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1019 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1021 Backward compatibility fixes:
1023 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1024 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1026 Documentation fixes:
1028 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1029 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1031 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1033 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1035 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1036 Backward compatibility fixes:
1038 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1039 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1041 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1043 Documentation fixes:
1045 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1046 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1047 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1049 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1051 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1052 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1054 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1056 Cut another release.
1058 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1060 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1062 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1064 Backward compatibility fixes:
1066 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1068 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1069 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1070 for backward compatibility.
1074 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1075 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1079 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1080 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1081 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1083 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1085 Backward compatibility fixes:
1087 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1088 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1092 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1093 been made immutable.
1095 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1096 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1097 example) Coro is loaded.
1099 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1100 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1102 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1103 using MooseX::Deamonize
1105 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1106 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1107 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1108 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1109 deployed in these environments.
1113 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1117 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1118 file for your application.
1120 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1124 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1125 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1127 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1130 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1131 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1133 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1135 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1136 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1138 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1139 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1141 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1142 was not breaking out correctly
1144 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1145 to also work in the $c->component method.
1147 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1148 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1149 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1151 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1153 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1155 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1157 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1158 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1161 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1163 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1166 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1167 not being installed.
1170 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1171 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1172 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1174 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1177 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1179 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1180 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1181 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1183 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1186 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1187 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1188 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1189 the new major version of Catalyst.
1192 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1193 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1195 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1198 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1199 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1200 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1202 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1204 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1205 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1206 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1208 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1209 in Catalyst::execute
1211 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1212 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1213 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1215 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1216 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1220 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1221 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1223 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1224 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1225 developers without changing their application code.
1227 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1230 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1231 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1232 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1233 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1234 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1236 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1237 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1239 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1241 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1245 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1246 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1247 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1248 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1249 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1250 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1251 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1253 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1254 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1255 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1256 class, please tell us *now*.
1258 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1261 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1263 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1264 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1265 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1266 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1267 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1268 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1271 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1272 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1273 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1274 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1275 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1276 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1277 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1278 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1280 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1281 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1282 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1283 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1284 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1285 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1286 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1287 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1290 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1291 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1293 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1296 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1297 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1301 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1302 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1304 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1307 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1309 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1310 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1312 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1314 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1317 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1319 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1322 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1323 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1324 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1326 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1329 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1331 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1332 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1333 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1334 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1335 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1337 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1340 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1341 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1342 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1345 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1346 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1351 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1354 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1357 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1358 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1359 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1360 the default action creation.
1363 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1364 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1365 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1366 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1367 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1368 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1369 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1372 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1374 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1376 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1378 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1381 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1382 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1383 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1384 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1385 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1388 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1389 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1392 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1393 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1394 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1395 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1397 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1400 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1401 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1402 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1403 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1404 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1405 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1406 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1407 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1410 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1411 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1412 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1414 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1415 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1416 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1417 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1420 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1421 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1424 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1425 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1428 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1431 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1432 the content type and content length if available.
1434 Refactoring / optimizations:
1435 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1436 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1437 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1438 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1439 screen as easy to write.
1440 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1441 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1442 in parameter filtering (for example).
1443 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1444 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1445 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1446 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1447 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1450 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1451 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1452 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1453 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1455 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1458 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1459 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1461 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1464 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1465 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1467 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1470 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1471 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1472 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1473 which should not be encoded.
1474 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1475 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1477 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1478 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1479 any set of args/captures.
1481 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1482 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1484 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1488 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1490 - Various minor typo fixes.
1493 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1495 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1498 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1499 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1500 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1503 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1504 - Clarify documentation about debug
1507 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1508 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1509 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1511 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1514 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1515 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1519 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1520 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1522 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1523 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1524 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1525 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1526 argv key in the options hash.
1527 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1528 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1529 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1530 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1532 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1536 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1537 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1538 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1539 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1540 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1542 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1546 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1547 encoding test controller.
1549 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1551 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1552 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1554 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1556 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1557 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1558 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1559 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1560 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1562 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1566 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1567 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1568 less packed with information of no use.
1572 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1574 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1576 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1577 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1578 the single character '0'.
1579 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1582 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1583 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1584 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1586 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1588 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1589 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1590 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1591 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1592 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1593 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1594 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1595 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1596 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1597 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1598 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1599 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1601 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1602 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1604 Refactoring / cleanups:
1605 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1606 (and then skipped) normally.
1609 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1611 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1614 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1615 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1616 on the old behaviour.
1618 Refactoring / cleanups:
1619 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1620 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1622 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1625 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1626 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1627 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1628 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1629 as there is no recommended alternative.
1630 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1631 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1632 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1633 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1634 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1635 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1636 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1637 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1638 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1639 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1640 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1641 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1642 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1643 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1646 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1647 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1648 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1649 deprecated and causes warnings).
1650 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1651 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1652 in the correct order.
1653 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1655 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1656 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1657 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1660 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1661 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1662 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1663 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1664 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1666 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1667 exception classes need to implement.
1668 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1669 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1672 Refactoring / cleanups:
1673 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1674 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1675 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1676 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1677 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1678 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1679 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1681 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1684 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1685 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1686 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1687 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new

1694 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1695 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1698 Refactoring / cleanups:
1699 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1700 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1701 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1702 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1703 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1705 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1708 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1709 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1710 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1711 now loaded at most once + tests.
1712 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1713 is returned to 'actions'.
1714 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1715 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1717 Refactoring / cleanups:
1718 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1719 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1722 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1723 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1724 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1726 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1729 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1730 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1733 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1736 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1737 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1738 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1740 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1743 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1744 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1745 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1747 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1750 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1751 application class immutable without that option.
1752 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1753 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1755 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1756 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1757 (hopefully) future versions.
1758 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1759 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1760 variables (RT#48555)
1761 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1763 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1764 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1765 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1766 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1767 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1769 Refactoring / cleanups:
1770 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1771 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1772 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1773 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1774 known issues with 5.8.3.
1775 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1776 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1779 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1780 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1781 for the controller namespace
1782 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1783 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1784 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1785 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1786 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1787 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1789 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1790 frontend port (jshirley)
1791 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1795 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1796 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1797 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1798 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.

1804 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1805 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1806 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1808 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1809 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1810 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1811 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1812 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1813 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1817 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1818 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1819 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1822 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1825 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1826 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1828 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1829 in some environments.
1830 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1831 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1832 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1833 except works correctly with closures.
1834 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1835 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1836 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1837 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1838 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1839 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1840 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1843 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1844 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1845 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1846 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1847 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1848 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1850 Refactoring / cleanups:
1851 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1852 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1853 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1854 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1856 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1857 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1858 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1860 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1861 again in Catalyst::Test
1863 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1867 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1870 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)

1874 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1875 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1877 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1880 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1881 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1884 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1885 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1889 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1890 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1891 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1892 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1893 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1895 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1896 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1897 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1898 controller naming. (random)
1899 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1900 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1901 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1909 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1911 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues

1913 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1914 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1915 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1916 to report 'Unknown Error'
1917 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1918 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1919 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1920 parse_on_demand is on
1922 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1923 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1924 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1925 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1926 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1929 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1930 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1949 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1950 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1951 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1952 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1953 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1956 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1957 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1958 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1959 configuration in your application.
1961 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1962 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1992 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1993 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1994 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1995 tries to chain to itself
1997 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1998 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1999 - Tests for this (radek)
2000 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2001 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2002 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2003 - Tests for this (radek)

2015 in production versions
2016 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2017 the correct metaclass
2018 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2019 the restarter process
2020 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2021 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2023 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2024 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2025 immutable restart correctly.
2027 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2028 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

2044 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2045 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2046 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2047 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2049 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2050 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

2101 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2102 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2107 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2109 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2110 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2112 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2113 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2261 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2262 throw warnings for two reasons:
2263 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2264 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2266 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2267 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2268 method with a regex as the argument
