1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
6 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
7 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
8 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
9 get them passed through to the application.
12 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
13 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
14 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
15 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
18 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
19 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
20 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
21 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
23 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
24 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
25 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
27 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
28 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
30 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
34 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
35 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
36 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
37 whereas before you had to say:
38 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
39 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
40 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
43 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
44 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
45 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
46 scripts in the application.
47 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
48 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
49 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
54 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
56 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
57 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
58 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
59 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
60 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
61 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
62 and provide an alternative.
64 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
68 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
71 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
74 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
76 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
77 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
78 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
79 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
80 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
81 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
85 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
86 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
88 Backward compatibility fixes:
90 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
91 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
95 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
96 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
98 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
100 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
102 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
103 Backward compatibility fixes:
105 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
106 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
108 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
112 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
113 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
114 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
116 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
118 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
119 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
121 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
125 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
127 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
129 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
131 Backward compatibility fixes:
133 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
135 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
136 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
137 for backward compatibility.
141 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
142 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
146 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
147 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
148 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
150 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
152 Backward compatibility fixes:
154 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
155 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
159 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
162 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
163 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
164 example) Coro is loaded.
166 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
167 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
169 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
170 using MooseX::Deamonize
172 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
173 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
174 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
175 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
176 deployed in these environments.
180 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
184 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
185 file for your application.
187 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
191 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
192 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
194 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
197 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
198 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
200 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
202 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
203 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
205 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
206 IO::Handle's behaviour.
208 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
209 was not breaking out correctly
211 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
212 to also work in the $c->component method.
214 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
215 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
216 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
218 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
220 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
222 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
224 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
225 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
228 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
230 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
233 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
237 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
238 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
239 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
241 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
244 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
246 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
247 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
248 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
250 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
253 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
254 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
255 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
256 the new major version of Catalyst.
259 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
260 of Catalyst has been much improved.
262 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
265 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
266 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
267 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
269 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
271 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
272 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
273 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
275 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
278 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
279 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
280 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
282 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
283 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
287 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
288 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
290 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
291 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
292 developers without changing their application code.
294 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
297 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
298 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
299 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
300 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
301 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
303 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
304 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
306 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
308 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
312 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
313 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
314 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
315 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
316 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
317 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
318 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
320 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
321 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
322 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
323 class, please tell us *now*.
325 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
328 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
330 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
331 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
332 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
333 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
334 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
335 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
338 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
339 the Content-Length header appropriately)
340 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
341 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
342 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
343 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
344 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
345 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
347 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
348 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
349 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
350 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
351 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
352 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
353 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
354 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
357 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
358 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
360 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
363 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
364 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
368 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
369 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
371 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
374 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
376 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
377 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
379 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
381 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
384 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
386 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
389 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
390 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
391 load Utils before MyApp.pm
393 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
396 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
398 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
399 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
400 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
401 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
402 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
404 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
407 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
408 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
409 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
412 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
413 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
418 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
421 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
424 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
425 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
426 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
427 the default action creation.
430 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
431 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
432 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
433 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
434 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
435 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
436 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
439 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
441 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
443 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
445 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
448 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
449 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
450 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
451 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
452 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
455 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
456 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
459 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
460 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
461 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
462 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
464 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
467 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
468 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
469 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
470 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
471 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
472 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
473 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
474 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
477 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
478 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
479 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
481 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
482 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
483 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
484 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
487 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
488 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
491 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
492 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
495 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
498 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
499 the content type and content length if available.
501 Refactoring / optimizations:
502 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
503 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
504 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
505 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
506 screen as easy to write.
507 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
508 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
509 in parameter filtering (for example).
510 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
511 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
512 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
513 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
514 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
517 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
518 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
519 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
520 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
522 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
525 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
526 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
528 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
531 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
532 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
534 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
537 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
538 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
539 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
540 which should not be encoded.
541 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
542 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
544 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
545 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
546 any set of args/captures.
548 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
549 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
551 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
555 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
557 - Various minor typo fixes.
560 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
562 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
565 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
566 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
567 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
570 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
571 - Clarify documentation about debug
574 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
575 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
576 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
578 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
581 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
582 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
586 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
587 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
589 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
590 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
591 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
592 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
593 argv key in the options hash.
594 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
595 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
596 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
597 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
599 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
603 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
604 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
605 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
606 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
607 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
609 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
613 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
614 encoding test controller.
616 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
618 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
619 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
620 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
621 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
623 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
624 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
625 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
626 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
627 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
629 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
633 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
634 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
635 less packed with information of no use.
639 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
641 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
643 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
644 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
645 the single character '0'.
646 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
649 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
650 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
651 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
653 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
655 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
656 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
657 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
658 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
659 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
660 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
661 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
662 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
663 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
664 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
665 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
666 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
668 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
669 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
671 Refactoring / cleanups:
672 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
673 (and then skipped) normally.
676 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
678 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
681 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
682 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
683 on the old behaviour.
685 Refactoring / cleanups:
686 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
687 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
689 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
692 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
693 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
694 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
695 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
696 as there is no recommended alternative.
697 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
698 fallback for fully qualified component names.
699 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
700 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
701 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
702 startup, rather than with the first hit.
703 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
704 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
705 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
706 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
707 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
708 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
709 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
710 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
713 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
714 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
715 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
716 deprecated and causes warnings).
717 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
718 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
719 in the correct order.
720 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
722 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
723 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
724 is deprecated (RT#51489)
727 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
728 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
729 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
730 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
731 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
733 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
734 exception classes need to implement.
735 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
736 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
739 Refactoring / cleanups:
740 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
741 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
742 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
743 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
744 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
745 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
746 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
748 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
751 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
752 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
753 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
754 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
756 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
757 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
758 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
761 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
762 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
765 Refactoring / cleanups:
766 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
767 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
768 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
769 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
770 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
772 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
775 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
776 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
777 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
778 now loaded at most once + tests.
779 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
780 is returned to 'actions'.
781 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
782 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
784 Refactoring / cleanups:
785 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
786 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
789 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
790 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
791 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
793 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
796 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
797 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
800 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
803 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
804 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
805 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
807 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
810 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
811 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
812 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
814 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
817 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
818 application class immutable without that option.
819 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
820 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
822 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
823 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
824 (hopefully) future versions.
825 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
826 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
828 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
830 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
831 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
832 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
833 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
834 Request-URI of the Request-Line
836 Refactoring / cleanups:
837 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
838 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
839 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
840 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
841 known issues with 5.8.3.
842 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
843 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
846 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
847 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
848 for the controller namespace
849 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
850 expand_component_module (rjbs)
851 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
852 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
853 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
854 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
856 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
857 frontend port (jshirley)
858 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
862 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
863 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
864 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
865 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
868 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
871 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
872 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
873 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
875 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
876 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
877 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
878 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
879 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
880 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
884 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
885 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
886 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
889 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
892 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
893 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
895 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
896 in some environments.
897 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
898 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
899 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
900 except works correctly with closures.
901 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
902 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
903 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
905 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
906 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
907 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
910 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
911 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
912 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
913 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
914 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
915 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
917 Refactoring / cleanups:
918 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
919 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
920 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
921 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
923 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
924 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
925 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
927 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
928 again in Catalyst::Test
930 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
933 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
934 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
937 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
940 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
941 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
942 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
944 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
947 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
948 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
951 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
952 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
956 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
957 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
958 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
959 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
960 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
962 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
963 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
964 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
965 controller naming. (random)
966 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
967 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
968 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
969 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
970 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
972 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
974 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
975 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
976 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
978 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
979 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
980 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
981 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
982 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
983 to report 'Unknown Error'
984 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
985 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
986 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
987 parse_on_demand is on
989 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
990 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
991 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
992 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
993 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
994 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
995 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
996 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
997 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
999 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1000 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1001 Test::Aggregate is available.
1002 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1003 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1004 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1005 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1006 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1007 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1008 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass

1015 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1016 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1017 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1018 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1019 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1020 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1023 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1024 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1025 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1026 configuration in your application.
1028 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1029 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1030 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1032 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1033 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1035 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1036 has been made private
1037 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1038 the request parameters with undef + test
1039 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1040 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1042 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1044 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1045 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1046 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1048 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1049 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1050 warning on recent Moose versions.
1051 - Add delta documentation
1052 - Clean up recursion errors
1053 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1054 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1056 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1057 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1059 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1060 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1061 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1062 tries to chain to itself
1064 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1065 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1066 - Tests for this (radek)
1067 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1068 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1069 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1070 - Tests for this (radek)
1071 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1072 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1073 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1074 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1076 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1077 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1079 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1081 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1082 in production versions
1083 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1084 the correct metaclass
1085 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1086 the restarter process
1087 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1088 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1090 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1091 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1092 immutable restart correctly.
1094 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1095 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1096 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1097 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1105 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1106 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1107 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1108 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1109 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1110 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1111 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1112 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1113 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1114 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1116 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1117 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1118 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1121 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1122 - Add uri_with tests
1124 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1149 keep-alive requests.
1150 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1151 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1152 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1153 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1155 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1156 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1157 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1158 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1159 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1160 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1161 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1162 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1163 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1164 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1165 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1166 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1167 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1168 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1169 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1170 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1171 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1172 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1173 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1174 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1176 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1177 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1179 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1180 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1181 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1183 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1184 test sync for engines easier
1185 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1186 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1188 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1189 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1190 rather than the stringified ref.
1191 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1192 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1193 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1194 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1195 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1197 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1198 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1199 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1201 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1202 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1203 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1204 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1205 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1206 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1207 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
