4 - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
5 requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
7 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
8 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
9 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
10 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
11 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
14 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
15 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
16 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
20 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
21 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
23 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
26 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
27 the content type and content length if available.
29 Refactoring / optimizations:
30 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
31 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
32 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
33 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
34 screen as easy to write.
35 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
36 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
37 in parameter filtering (for example).
38 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
39 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
40 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
41 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
42 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
45 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
46 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
47 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
48 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
50 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
53 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
54 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
56 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
59 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
60 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
62 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
65 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
66 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
67 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
68 which should not be encoded.
69 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
70 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
72 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
73 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
74 any set of args/captures.
76 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
77 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
79 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
83 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
85 - Various minor typo fixes.
88 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
90 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
93 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
94 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
95 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
98 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
99 - Clarify documentation about debug
102 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
103 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
104 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
106 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
109 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
110 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
114 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
115 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
117 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
118 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
119 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
120 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
121 argv key in the options hash.
122 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
123 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
124 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
125 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
127 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
131 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
132 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
133 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
134 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
135 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
137 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
141 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
142 encoding test controller.
144 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
146 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
147 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
148 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
149 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
151 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
152 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
153 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
154 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
155 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
157 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
161 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
162 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
163 less packed with information of no use.
167 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
169 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
171 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
172 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
173 the single character '0'.
174 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
177 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
178 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
179 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
181 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
183 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
184 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
185 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
186 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
187 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
188 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
189 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
190 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
191 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
192 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
193 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
194 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
196 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
197 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
199 Refactoring / cleanups:
200 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
201 (and then skipped) normally.
204 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
206 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
209 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
210 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
211 on the old behaviour.
213 Refactoring / cleanups:
214 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
215 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
217 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
220 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
221 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
222 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
223 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
224 as there is no recommended alternative.
225 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
226 fallback for fully qualified component names.
227 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
228 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
229 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
230 startup, rather than with the first hit.
231 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
232 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
233 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
234 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
235 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
236 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
237 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
238 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
241 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
242 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
243 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
244 deprecated and causes warnings).
245 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
246 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
247 in the correct order.
248 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
250 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
251 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
252 is deprecated (RT#51489)
255 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
256 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
257 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
258 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
259 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
261 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
262 exception classes need to implement.
263 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
264 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
267 Refactoring / cleanups:
268 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
269 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
270 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
271 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
272 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
273 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
274 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
276 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
279 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
280 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
281 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
282 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
284 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
285 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
286 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
289 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
290 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
293 Refactoring / cleanups:
294 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
295 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
296 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
297 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
298 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
300 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
303 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
304 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
305 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
306 now loaded at most once + tests.
307 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
308 is returned to 'actions'.
309 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
310 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
312 Refactoring / cleanups:
313 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
314 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
317 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
318 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
319 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
321 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
324 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
325 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
328 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
331 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
332 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
333 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
335 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
338 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
339 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
340 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
342 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
345 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
346 application class immutable without that option.
347 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
348 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
350 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
351 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
352 (hopefully) future versions.
353 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
354 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
356 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
358 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
359 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
360 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
361 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
362 Request-URI of the Request-Line
364 Refactoring / cleanups:
365 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
366 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
367 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
368 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
369 known issues with 5.8.3.
370 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
371 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
374 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
375 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
376 for the controller namespace
377 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
378 expand_component_module (rjbs)
379 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
380 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
381 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
382 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
384 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
385 frontend port (jshirley)
386 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
390 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
391 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
392 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
393 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
396 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
399 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
400 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
401 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
403 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
404 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
405 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
406 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
407 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
408 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
412 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
413 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
414 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
417 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
420 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
421 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
423 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
424 in some environments.
425 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
426 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
427 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
428 except works correctly with closures.
429 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
430 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
431 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
433 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
434 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
435 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
438 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
439 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
440 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
441 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
442 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
443 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
445 Refactoring / cleanups:
446 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
447 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
448 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
449 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
451 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
452 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
453 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
455 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
456 again in Catalyst::Test
458 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
461 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
462 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
465 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
468 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
469 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
470 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
472 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
475 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
476 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
479 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
480 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
484 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
485 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
486 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
487 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
488 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
490 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
491 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
492 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
493 controller naming. (random)
494 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
495 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
496 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
497 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
498 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
500 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
502 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
503 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
504 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
506 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
507 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
508 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
509 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
510 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
511 to report 'Unknown Error'
512 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
513 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
514 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
515 parse_on_demand is on
517 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
518 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
519 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
520 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
521 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
522 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
523 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
524 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
525 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
527 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
528 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
529 Test::Aggregate is available.
530 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
531 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
532 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
533 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
534 disabling functionality from base controllers.
535 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
536 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
537 incompatibility issues in some cases.
538 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
539 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
540 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
541 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
542 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
543 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
544 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
545 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
546 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
547 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
548 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
550 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
551 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
552 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
553 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
554 configuration in your application.
556 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
557 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
558 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
560 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
561 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
563 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
564 has been made private
565 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
566 the request parameters with undef + test
567 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
568 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
570 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
572 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
573 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
574 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
576 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
577 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
578 warning on recent Moose versions.
579 - Add delta documentation
580 - Clean up recursion errors
581 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
582 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
584 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
585 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
587 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
588 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
589 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
590 tries to chain to itself
592 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
593 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
594 - Tests for this (radek)
595 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance

597 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
598 - Tests for this (radek)

607 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
609 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
610 in production versions
611 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
612 the correct metaclass
613 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
614 the restarter process
615 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
616 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
618 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
619 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

639 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
640 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
641 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
642 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
644 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
645 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
646 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
649 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
