4 - Merged Pull Requests:
5 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
6 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
7 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
8 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
12 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
13 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
16 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
17 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
18 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
19 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
20 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
21 that has proven to work for years.)
24 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
25 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
26 even though they were actually created).
29 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
30 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
31 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
32 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
33 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
35 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
36 - Added swanky github badges.
37 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
38 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
39 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
40 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
43 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
44 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
45 raise an error when registering its actions.
46 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
47 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
48 the injection and do custom injection types.
50 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
51 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
52 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
54 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
55 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
56 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
57 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
59 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
60 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
61 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
62 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
63 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
64 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
65 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
66 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
67 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
68 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
70 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
71 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
72 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
73 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
74 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
75 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
76 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
77 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
79 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
80 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
81 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
82 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
83 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
84 stand alone classes...).
85 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
86 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
87 report any stats related issues.
88 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
89 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
90 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
91 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
92 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
93 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
94 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
96 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
97 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
98 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
99 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
101 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
102 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
103 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
104 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
105 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
106 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
109 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
110 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
111 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
112 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
113 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
114 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
115 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
116 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
117 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
118 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
119 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
120 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
123 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
124 trying to create parameters twice.
125 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
126 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
127 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
128 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
129 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
130 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
131 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
132 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
133 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
134 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
135 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
138 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
139 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
140 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
141 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
142 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
143 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
146 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
147 to prevent it happening again.
150 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
151 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
152 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
153 test case to prevent regressions.
156 - Minor documentation corrections
157 - Make the '79 development series stable
159 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
160 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
161 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
162 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
163 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
165 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
166 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
167 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
168 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
169 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
170 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
171 changes introduced in v5.90080.
173 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
174 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
175 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
176 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
177 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
178 note posted a few months ago.
179 - Added my name to the contributors list
181 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
182 - Merged changes from 5.90078
183 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
184 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
185 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
186 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
187 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
188 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
189 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
190 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
191 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
192 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
193 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
195 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
196 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
197 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
199 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
200 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
201 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
202 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
203 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
204 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
205 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
206 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
207 has already been called (and headers already sent).
208 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
209 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
211 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
212 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
213 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
215 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
216 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
219 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
220 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
221 existing Plack conventions.
222 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
223 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
224 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
225 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
226 don't bubble back up to the main application.
227 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
228 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
229 I highly suggest you test this release.
230 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
231 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
232 correct if incorrect :)
233 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
234 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
235 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
236 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
237 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
238 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
239 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
240 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
241 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
243 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
244 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
245 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
247 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
248 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
249 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
250 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
254 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
256 - updated year in copyright notices
259 - POD corrections (sergey++)
260 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
261 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
262 trouble. (davewood++);
263 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
264 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
265 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
268 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
269 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
270 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
271 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
272 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
275 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
276 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
277 HTTP Exception middleware.
280 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
281 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
282 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
283 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
284 you really need to review this exploit.
287 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
290 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
291 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
292 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
293 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
295 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
298 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
299 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
300 so you can go to hunt it out.
303 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
304 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
305 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
306 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
307 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
308 - Added Italian translation of default error.
311 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
314 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
315 certain tests. No other changes.
318 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
319 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
320 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
322 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
324 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
326 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
330 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
331 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
332 questions or problems!
333 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
334 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
335 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
336 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
337 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
338 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
339 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
340 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
341 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
344 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
345 - documentation and test fixes
348 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
349 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
350 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
351 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
352 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
353 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
354 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
357 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
358 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
361 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
362 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
363 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
364 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
365 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
366 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
367 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
368 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
370 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
373 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
374 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
377 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
378 introduced by a change in December.
381 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
384 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
385 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
386 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
387 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
388 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
391 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
392 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
393 reported while installing.
394 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
395 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
396 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
397 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
398 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
399 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
400 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
401 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
402 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
403 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
404 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
405 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
406 - update copyright notices.
408 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
409 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
410 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
411 fails to install (sorry).
412 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
413 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
414 middleware deal with it.
416 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
417 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
418 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
419 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
420 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
421 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
422 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
423 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
424 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
426 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
427 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
428 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
429 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
430 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
431 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
432 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
433 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
434 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
435 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
437 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
438 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
439 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
440 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
444 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
445 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
446 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
447 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
448 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
449 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
453 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
454 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
455 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
457 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
458 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
459 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
461 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
462 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
463 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
464 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
466 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
467 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
468 - Various POD formatting fixed.
469 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
470 accept and issues that might arise.
473 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
474 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
477 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
478 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
479 for internal methods:
481 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
482 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
483 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
485 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
486 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
487 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
488 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
490 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
491 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
492 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
494 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
495 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
496 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
497 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
498 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
500 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
501 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
502 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
503 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
504 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
505 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
506 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
507 cases to reflect this change.
509 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
510 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
511 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
512 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
513 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
514 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
515 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
516 those keys already exist). Keys added:
517 - plack.request.query
519 - plack.request.merged
520 - plack.request.http.body
521 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
522 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
523 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
524 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
525 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
526 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
527 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
528 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
529 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
530 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
531 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
532 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
533 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
534 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
535 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
536 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
537 is a scalar or arrayref.
538 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
539 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
541 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
542 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
543 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
545 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
546 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
547 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
548 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
549 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
550 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
551 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
552 a development setup (ether++)
554 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
555 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
556 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
557 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
558 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
559 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
560 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
561 case t/data_handler.t
563 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
564 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
565 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
566 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
567 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
570 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
571 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
572 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
573 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
575 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
577 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
581 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
582 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
583 this fixes all of them.
584 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
585 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
586 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
587 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
589 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
592 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
593 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
594 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
595 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
596 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
597 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
598 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
600 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
601 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
602 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
603 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
604 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
605 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
607 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
608 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
609 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
610 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
611 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
612 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
613 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
614 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
616 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
619 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
620 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
621 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
622 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
623 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
624 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
626 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
627 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
628 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
629 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
630 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
631 - smarter validation around action attributes.
634 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
635 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
636 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
637 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
638 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
639 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
640 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
641 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
642 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
643 in behavior is compatible on its own.
644 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
645 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
646 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
647 - Some test and documentation improvements
649 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
650 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
651 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
652 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
655 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
656 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
659 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
660 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
662 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
663 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
665 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
667 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
668 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
670 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
672 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
673 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
674 of request or response classes.
676 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
677 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
678 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
679 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
680 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
681 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
682 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
683 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
684 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
685 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
687 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
688 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
689 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
690 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
691 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
693 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
695 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
696 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
698 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
700 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
701 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
702 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
705 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
708 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
711 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
712 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
714 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
717 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
720 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
722 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
724 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
726 Distribution META.yml changes:
727 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
728 mis-parses from the documentation.
729 - x_authority key added.
732 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
733 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
735 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
736 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
737 is less than helpful.
739 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
740 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
741 in bleadperl. RT#76437
743 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
744 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
747 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
748 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
750 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
751 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
752 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
754 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
757 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
758 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
759 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
760 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
761 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
762 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
764 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
766 - --background option for the server script now only closes
767 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
768 and other loggers which open a file handle when
769 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
770 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
771 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
774 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
777 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
778 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
779 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
780 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
782 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
785 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
788 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
789 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
790 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
791 included when not running from a checkout.
793 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
795 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
796 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
797 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
799 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
801 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
803 New features and refactoring:
804 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
805 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
806 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
808 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
809 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
810 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
813 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
814 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
815 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
817 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
819 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
820 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
821 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
822 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
823 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
824 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
826 Back compatibility fixes:
827 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
828 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
829 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
832 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
835 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
836 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
837 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
839 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
840 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
841 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
843 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
846 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
847 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
848 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
849 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
850 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
853 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
854 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
856 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
857 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
858 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
860 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
863 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
864 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
865 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
866 get them passed through to the application.
869 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
870 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
871 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
872 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
875 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
876 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
877 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
878 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
880 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
881 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
882 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
884 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
885 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
887 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
891 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
892 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
893 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
894 whereas before you had to say:
895 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
896 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
897 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
900 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
901 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
902 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
903 scripts in the application.
904 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
905 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
906 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
911 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
913 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
914 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
915 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
916 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
917 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
918 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
919 and provide an alternative.
921 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
925 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
928 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
931 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
933 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
934 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
935 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
936 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
937 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
938 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
942 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
943 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
945 Backward compatibility fixes:
947 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
948 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
952 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
953 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
955 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
957 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
959 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
960 Backward compatibility fixes:
962 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
963 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
965 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
969 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
970 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
971 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
973 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
975 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
976 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
978 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
982 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
984 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
986 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
988 Backward compatibility fixes:
990 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
992 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
993 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
994 for backward compatibility.
998 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
999 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1003 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1004 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1005 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1007 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1009 Backward compatibility fixes:
1011 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1012 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1016 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1017 been made immutable.
1019 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1020 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1021 example) Coro is loaded.
1023 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1024 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1026 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1027 using MooseX::Deamonize
1029 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1030 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1031 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1032 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1033 deployed in these environments.
1037 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1041 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1042 file for your application.
1044 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1048 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1049 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1051 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1054 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1055 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1057 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1059 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1060 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1062 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1063 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1065 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1066 was not breaking out correctly
1068 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1069 to also work in the $c->component method.
1071 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1072 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1073 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1075 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1077 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1079 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1081 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1082 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1085 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1087 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1090 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1091 not being installed.
1094 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1095 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1096 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1098 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1101 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1103 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1104 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1105 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1107 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1110 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1111 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1112 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1113 the new major version of Catalyst.
1116 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1117 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1119 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1122 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1123 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1124 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1126 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1128 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1129 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1130 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1132 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1133 in Catalyst::execute
1135 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1136 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1137 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1139 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1140 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1144 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1145 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1147 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1148 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1149 developers without changing their application code.
1151 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1154 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1155 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1156 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1157 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1158 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1160 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1161 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1163 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1165 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1169 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1170 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1171 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1172 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1173 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1174 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1175 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1177 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1178 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1179 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1180 class, please tell us *now*.
1182 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1185 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1187 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1188 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1189 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1190 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1191 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1192 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1195 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1196 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1197 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1198 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1199 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1200 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1201 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1202 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1204 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1205 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1206 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1207 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1208 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1209 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1210 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1211 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1214 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1215 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1217 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1220 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1221 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1225 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1226 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1228 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1231 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1233 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1234 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1236 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1238 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1241 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1243 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1246 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1247 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1248 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1250 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1253 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1255 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1256 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1257 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1258 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1259 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1261 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1264 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1265 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1266 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1269 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1270 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1275 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1278 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1281 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1282 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1283 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1284 the default action creation.
1287 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1288 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1289 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1290 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1291 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1292 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1293 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1296 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1298 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1300 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1302 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1305 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1306 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1307 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1308 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1309 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1312 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1313 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1316 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1317 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1318 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1319 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1321 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1324 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1325 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1326 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1327 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1328 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1329 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1330 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1331 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1334 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1335 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1336 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1338 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1339 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1340 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1341 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1344 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1345 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1348 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1349 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1352 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1355 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1356 the content type and content length if available.
1358 Refactoring / optimizations:
1359 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1360 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1361 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1362 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1363 screen as easy to write.
1364 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1365 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1366 in parameter filtering (for example).
1367 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1368 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1369 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1370 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1371 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1374 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1375 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1376 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1377 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1379 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1382 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1383 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1385 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1388 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1389 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1391 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1394 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1395 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1396 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1397 which should not be encoded.
1398 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1399 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1401 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1402 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1403 any set of args/captures.
1405 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1406 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1408 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1412 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1414 - Various minor typo fixes.
1417 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1419 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1422 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1423 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1424 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1427 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1428 - Clarify documentation about debug
1431 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1432 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1433 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1435 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1438 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1439 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1443 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1444 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1446 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1447 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1448 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1449 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1450 argv key in the options hash.
1451 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1452 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1453 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1454 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1456 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1460 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1461 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1462 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1463 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1464 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1466 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1470 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1471 encoding test controller.
1473 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1475 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1476 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1477 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1478 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1480 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1481 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1482 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1483 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1484 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1486 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1490 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1491 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1492 less packed with information of no use.
1496 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1498 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1500 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1501 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1502 the single character '0'.
1503 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1506 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1507 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1508 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1510 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1512 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1513 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1514 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1515 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1516 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1517 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1518 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1519 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1520 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1521 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1522 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1523 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1525 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1526 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1528 Refactoring / cleanups:
1529 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1530 (and then skipped) normally.
1533 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1535 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1538 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1539 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1540 on the old behaviour.
1542 Refactoring / cleanups:
1543 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1544 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1546 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1549 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1550 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1551 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1552 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1553 as there is no recommended alternative.
1554 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1555 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1556 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1557 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1558 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1559 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1560 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1561 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1562 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1563 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1564 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1565 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1566 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1567 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1570 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1571 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1572 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1573 deprecated and causes warnings).
1574 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1575 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1576 in the correct order.
1577 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1579 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1580 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1581 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1584 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1585 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1586 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1587 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1588 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1590 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1591 exception classes need to implement.
1592 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1593 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1596 Refactoring / cleanups:
1597 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1598 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1599 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1600 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1601 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1602 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1603 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1605 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1608 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1609 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1610 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1611 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1613 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1614 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1615 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1618 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1619 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1622 Refactoring / cleanups:
1623 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1624 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1625 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1626 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1627 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1629 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1632 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1633 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1634 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1635 now loaded at most once + tests.
1636 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1637 is returned to 'actions'.
1638 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1639 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1641 Refactoring / cleanups:
1642 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1643 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1646 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1647 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1648 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1650 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1653 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1654 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1657 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1660 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1661 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1662 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1664 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1667 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1668 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1669 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1671 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1674 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1675 application class immutable without that option.
1676 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1677 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1679 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1680 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1681 (hopefully) future versions.
1682 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1683 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1684 variables (RT#48555)
1685 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1687 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1688 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1689 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1690 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1691 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1693 Refactoring / cleanups:
1694 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1695 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1696 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1697 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1698 known issues with 5.8.3.
1699 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1700 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1703 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1704 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1705 for the controller namespace
1706 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1707 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1708 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1709 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1710 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1711 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1713 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1714 frontend port (jshirley)
1715 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1719 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1720 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.

1730 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1732 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1733 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1734 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1735 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1736 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1737 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1741 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1742 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1743 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1746 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1749 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for

1752 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1753 in some environments.
1754 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1755 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1756 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1757 except works correctly with closures.

1764 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1767 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1768 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)

1770 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1771 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1772 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1774 Refactoring / cleanups:
1775 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1776 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1777 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1778 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1780 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1781 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1782 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

1798 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1799 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1801 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1804 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1805 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1808 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1809 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1813 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1814 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1815 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1816 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1817 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1819 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1820 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1821 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1822 controller naming. (random)

1833 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1835 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1836 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1837 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1838 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1839 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1840 to report 'Unknown Error'
1841 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1842 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1843 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1844 parse_on_demand is on
1846 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53

1876 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1877 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1880 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1881 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1882 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1916 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1917 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1918 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1919 tries to chain to itself
1921 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1922 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1923 - Tests for this (radek)
1924 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1925 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1926 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1927 - Tests for this (radek)

1938 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1939 in production versions
1940 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1941 the correct metaclass
1942 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1943 the restarter process
1944 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1945 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1947 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1948 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1949 immutable restart correctly.
1951 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1952 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1968 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1969 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1970 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1971 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1973 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose

2008 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2009 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

2012 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2013 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2014 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

2025 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2026 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2028 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
2029 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

2031 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2033 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2034 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2036 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2037 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2040 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
2041 test sync for engines easier

2060 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
2061 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
2062 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
2063 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
2064 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2184 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
2185 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2186 throw warnings for two reasons:
2187 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2188 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2190 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2191 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2192 method with a regex as the argument
2193 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)

2200 - Added $c->go, to do an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the
2201 contents of the stash
2203 5.7014 2008-05-25 15:26:00
2204 - Addition of .conf in restart regex in Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Restarter::Watcher
