1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
5 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
6 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
7 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
8 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
9 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
10 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
13 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
14 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
17 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
18 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
19 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
20 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
21 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
22 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
23 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
24 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
26 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
29 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
30 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
33 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
34 introduced by a change in December.
37 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
40 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
41 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
42 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
43 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
44 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
47 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
48 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
49 reported while installing.
50 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
51 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
52 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
53 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
54 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
55 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
56 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
57 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
58 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
59 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
60 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
61 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
62 - update copyright notices.
64 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
65 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
66 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
67 fails to install (sorry).
68 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
69 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
70 middleware deal with it.
72 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
73 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
74 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
75 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
76 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
77 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
78 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
79 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
80 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
82 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
83 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
84 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
85 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
86 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
87 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
88 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
89 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
90 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
91 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
93 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
94 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
95 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
96 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
100 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
101 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
102 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
103 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
104 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
105 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
109 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
110 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
111 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
113 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
114 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
115 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
117 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
118 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
119 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
120 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
122 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
123 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
124 - Various POD formating fixed.
125 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
126 accept and issues that might arise.
129 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
130 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
133 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
134 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
135 for internal methods:
137 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
138 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
139 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
141 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
142 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
143 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
144 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
146 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
147 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
148 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
150 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
151 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
152 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
153 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
154 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
156 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
157 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
158 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
159 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
160 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
161 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
162 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
163 cases to reflect this change.
165 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
166 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
167 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
168 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
169 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
170 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
171 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
172 those keys already exist). Keys added:
173 - plack.request.query
175 - plack.request.merged
176 - plack.request.http.body
177 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
178 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
179 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
180 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
181 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
182 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
183 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
184 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
185 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
186 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
187 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
188 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
189 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
190 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
191 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
192 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
193 is a scalar or arrayref.
194 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
195 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
197 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
198 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
199 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
201 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
202 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
203 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
204 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
205 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
206 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
207 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
208 a development setup (ether++)
210 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
211 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
212 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
213 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
214 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
215 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
216 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
217 case t/data_handler.t
219 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
220 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
221 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
222 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
223 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
226 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
227 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
228 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
229 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
231 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
233 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
237 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
238 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
239 this fixes all of them.
240 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
241 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
242 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
243 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
245 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
248 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
249 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
250 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
251 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
252 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
253 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
254 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
256 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
257 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
258 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
259 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
260 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
261 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
263 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
264 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
265 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
266 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
267 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
268 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
269 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
270 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
272 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
275 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
276 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
277 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
278 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
279 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
280 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
282 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
283 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
284 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
285 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
286 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
287 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
290 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
291 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
292 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
293 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
294 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
295 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
296 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
297 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
298 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
299 in behavior is compatible on its own.
300 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
301 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
302 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
303 - Some test and documentation improvements
305 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
306 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
307 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
308 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
311 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
312 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
315 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
316 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
318 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
319 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
321 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
323 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
324 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
326 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
328 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
329 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
330 of request or response classes.
332 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
333 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
334 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
335 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
336 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
337 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
338 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
339 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
340 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
341 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
343 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
344 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
345 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
346 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
347 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
349 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
351 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
352 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
354 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
356 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
357 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
358 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
361 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
364 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
367 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
368 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
370 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
373 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
376 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
378 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
380 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
382 Distribution META.yml changes:
383 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
384 mis-parses from the documentation.
385 - x_authority key added.
388 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
389 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
391 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
392 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
393 is less than helpful.
395 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
396 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
397 in bleadperl. RT#76437
399 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
400 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
403 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
404 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
406 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
407 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
408 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
410 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
413 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
414 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
415 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
416 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
417 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
418 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
420 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
422 - --background option for the server script now only closes
423 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
424 and other loggers which open a file handle when
425 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
426 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
427 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
430 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
433 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
434 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
435 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
436 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
438 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
441 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
444 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
445 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
446 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
447 included when not running from a checkout.
449 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
451 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
452 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
453 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
455 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
457 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
459 New features and refactoring:
460 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
461 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
462 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
464 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
465 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
466 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
469 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
470 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
471 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
473 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
475 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
476 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
477 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
478 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
479 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
480 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
482 Back compatibility fixes:
483 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
484 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
485 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
488 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
491 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
492 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
493 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
495 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
496 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
497 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
499 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
502 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
503 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
504 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
505 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
506 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
509 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
510 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
512 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
513 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
514 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
516 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
519 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
520 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
521 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
522 get them passed through to the application.
525 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
526 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
527 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
528 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
531 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
532 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
533 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
534 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
536 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
537 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
538 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
540 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
541 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
543 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
547 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
548 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
549 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
550 whereas before you had to say:
551 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
552 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
553 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
556 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
557 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
558 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
559 scripts in the application.
560 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
561 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
562 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
567 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
569 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
570 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
571 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
572 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
573 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
574 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
575 and provide an alternative.
577 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
581 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
584 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
587 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
589 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
590 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
591 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
592 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
593 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
594 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
598 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
599 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
601 Backward compatibility fixes:
603 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
604 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
608 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
609 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
611 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
613 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
615 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
616 Backward compatibility fixes:
618 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
619 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
621 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
625 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
626 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
627 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
629 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
631 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
632 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
634 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
638 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
640 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
642 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
644 Backward compatibility fixes:
646 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
648 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
649 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
650 for backward compatibility.
654 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
655 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
659 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
660 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
661 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
663 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
665 Backward compatibility fixes:
667 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
668 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
672 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
675 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
676 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
677 example) Coro is loaded.
679 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
680 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
682 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
683 using MooseX::Deamonize
685 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
686 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
687 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
688 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
689 deployed in these environments.
693 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
697 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
698 file for your application.
700 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
704 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
705 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
707 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
710 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
711 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
713 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
715 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
716 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
718 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
719 IO::Handle's behaviour.
721 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
722 was not breaking out correctly
724 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
725 to also work in the $c->component method.
727 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
728 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
729 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
731 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
733 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
735 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
737 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
738 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
741 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
743 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
746 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
750 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
751 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
752 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
754 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
757 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
759 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
760 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
761 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
763 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
766 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
767 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
768 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
769 the new major version of Catalyst.
772 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
773 of Catalyst has been much improved.
775 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
778 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
779 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
780 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
782 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
784 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
785 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
786 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
788 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
791 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
792 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
793 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
795 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
796 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
800 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
801 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
803 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
804 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
805 developers without changing their application code.
807 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
810 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
811 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
812 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
813 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
814 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
816 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
817 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
819 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
821 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
825 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
826 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
827 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
828 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
829 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
830 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
831 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
833 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
834 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
835 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
836 class, please tell us *now*.
838 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
841 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
843 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
844 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
845 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
846 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
847 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
848 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
851 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
852 the Content-Length header appropriately)
853 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
854 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
855 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
856 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
857 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
858 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
860 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
861 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
862 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
863 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
864 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
865 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
866 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
867 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
870 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
871 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
873 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
876 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
877 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
881 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
882 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
884 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
887 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
889 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
890 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
892 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
894 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
897 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
899 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
902 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
903 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
904 load Utils before MyApp.pm
906 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
909 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
911 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
912 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
913 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
914 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
915 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
917 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
920 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
921 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
922 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
925 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
926 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
931 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
934 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
937 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
938 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
939 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
940 the default action creation.
943 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
944 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
945 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
946 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
947 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
948 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
949 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
952 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
954 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
956 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
958 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
961 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
962 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
963 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
964 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
965 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
968 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
969 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
972 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
973 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
974 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
975 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
977 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
980 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
981 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
982 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
983 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
984 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
985 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
986 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
987 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
990 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
991 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
992 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
994 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
995 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
996 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
997 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1000 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1001 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1004 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1005 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1008 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1011 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1012 the content type and content length if available.
1014 Refactoring / optimizations:
1015 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1016 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1017 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1018 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1019 screen as easy to write.
1020 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1021 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1022 in parameter filtering (for example).
1023 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1024 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1025 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1026 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1027 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1030 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1031 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1032 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1033 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1035 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1038 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1039 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1041 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1044 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1045 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1047 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1050 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1051 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1052 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1053 which should not be encoded.
1054 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1055 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1057 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1058 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1059 any set of args/captures.
1061 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1062 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1064 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1068 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1070 - Various minor typo fixes.
1073 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1075 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1078 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1079 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1080 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1083 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1084 - Clarify documentation about debug
1087 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1088 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1089 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1091 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1094 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1095 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1099 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1100 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1102 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1103 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1104 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1105 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1106 argv key in the options hash.
1107 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1108 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1109 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1110 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1112 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1116 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1117 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1118 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1119 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1120 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1122 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1126 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1127 encoding test controller.
1129 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1131 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1132 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1134 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1136 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1137 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1138 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1139 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1140 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1142 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1146 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1147 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1148 less packed with information of no use.
1152 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1154 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1156 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1157 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1158 the single character '0'.
1159 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1162 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1163 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1164 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1166 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1168 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1169 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1170 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1171 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1172 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1173 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1174 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1175 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1176 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1177 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1178 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1179 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1181 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1182 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1184 Refactoring / cleanups:
1185 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1186 (and then skipped) normally.
1189 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1191 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1194 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1195 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1196 on the old behaviour.
1198 Refactoring / cleanups:
1199 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1200 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1202 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1205 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1206 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1207 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1208 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1209 as there is no recommended alternative.
1210 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1211 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1212 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1213 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1214 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1215 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1216 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1217 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1218 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1219 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1220 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1221 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1222 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1223 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1226 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1227 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1228 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1229 deprecated and causes warnings).
1230 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1231 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1232 in the correct order.
1233 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1235 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1236 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1237 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1240 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1241 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1242 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1243 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1244 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1246 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1247 exception classes need to implement.
1248 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1249 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1252 Refactoring / cleanups:
1253 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1254 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1255 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1256 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1257 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1258 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1259 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1261 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1264 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1265 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1266 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1267 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1269 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1270 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1271 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1274 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1275 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1278 Refactoring / cleanups:
1279 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1280 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1281 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1282 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1283 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1285 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1288 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1289 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1290 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1291 now loaded at most once + tests.
1292 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1293 is returned to 'actions'.
1294 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1295 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1297 Refactoring / cleanups:
1298 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1299 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1302 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1303 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1304 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1306 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1309 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1310 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1313 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1316 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1317 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1318 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1320 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1323 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1324 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1325 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1327 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1330 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1331 application class immutable without that option.
1332 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1333 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1335 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1336 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1337 (hopefully) future versions.
1338 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1339 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1340 variables (RT#48555)
1341 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1343 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1344 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1345 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1346 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1347 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1349 Refactoring / cleanups:
1350 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1351 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1352 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1353 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1354 known issues with 5.8.3.
1355 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1356 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1359 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1360 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1361 for the controller namespace
1362 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1363 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1364 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1365 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1366 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1367 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1369 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1370 frontend port (jshirley)
1371 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1375 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1376 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1377 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1378 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1381 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1384 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1385 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1386 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1388 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1389 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1390 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1391 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1392 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1393 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1397 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1398 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1399 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1402 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1405 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1406 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1408 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1409 in some environments.
1410 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1411 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1412 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1413 except works correctly with closures.
1414 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1415 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1416 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1417 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1418 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1419 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1420 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1423 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1424 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1425 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1426 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1427 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1428 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1430 Refactoring / cleanups:
1431 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1432 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1433 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1434 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1436 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1437 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1438 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1440 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1441 again in Catalyst::Test
1443 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1446 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1447 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1450 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1453 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1454 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1455 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1457 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1460 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1461 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1464 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1465 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1469 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1470 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1471 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1472 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1473 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1475 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1476 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1477 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1478 controller naming. (random)
1479 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1480 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1481 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1482 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1483 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1485 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1487 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1488 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1489 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1491 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1492 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1493 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1494 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1495 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1496 to report 'Unknown Error'
1497 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1498 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1499 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1500 parse_on_demand is on
1502 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1503 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1504 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1505 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1506 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1507 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1508 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1509 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1510 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1512 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1513 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1514 Test::Aggregate is available.
1515 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1516 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1517 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1518 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1519 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1520 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1521 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1522 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1528 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1529 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1530 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1531 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1532 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1533 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1536 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1537 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1538 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1539 configuration in your application.
1541 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1542 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1543 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1545 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1546 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1548 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1549 has been made private
1550 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1551 the request parameters with undef + test
1552 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1553 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1555 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1557 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1558 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1559 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1561 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1562 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1563 warning on recent Moose versions.
1564 - Add delta documentation
1565 - Clean up recursion errors
1566 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1567 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1569 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1570 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1572 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1573 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1574 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1575 tries to chain to itself
1577 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1578 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1579 - Tests for this (radek)
1580 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1581 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1582 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1583 - Tests for this (radek)
1584 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1585 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1586 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1587 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1589 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1590 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1592 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1594 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1595 in production versions
1596 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1597 the correct metaclass
1598 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1599 the restarter process
1600 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1601 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1603 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1604 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1605 immutable restart correctly.
1607 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1608 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1609 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1610 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1617 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1618 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1619 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1620 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1621 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1622 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1623 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1624 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1625 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1626 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1627 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1629 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1630 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1631 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1634 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1635 - Add uri_with tests
1637 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1649 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1650 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1653 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1662 keep-alive requests.
1663 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1664 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1665 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1666 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1668 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1669 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1670 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1671 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1672 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1673 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1674 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1675 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1676 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1677 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1678 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1679 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1680 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1681 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1682 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1683 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1684 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1685 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1686 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1687 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1689 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1690 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1692 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1693 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1694 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1696 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1697 test sync for engines easier
1698 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1699 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1701 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1702 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1703 rather than the stringified ref.
1704 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1705 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1706 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1707 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1708 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1710 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1711 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1712 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1714 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1715 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1716 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1717 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1718 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler

1841 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1842 throw warnings for two reasons:
1843 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1844 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1846 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1847 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
