4 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
5 the content type and content length if available.
7 Refactoring / optimizations:
8 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
9 log_headers, log_request and log_response methods which all call
10 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
11 in parameter filtering (for example).
12 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
13 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
14 - Now reports the used server address as an IP string rather than a
15 looked up hostname (because nothing really cares and hostname
16 lookups, even on local interfaces, can be slow on dev machines with
20 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
21 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
22 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
23 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
25 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
28 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
29 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
31 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
34 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
35 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
37 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
40 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
41 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
42 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
43 which should not be encoded.
44 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
45 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
47 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
48 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
49 any set of args/captures.
51 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
52 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
54 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
58 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
60 - Various minor typo fixes.
63 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
65 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
68 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
69 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
70 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
73 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
74 - Clarify documentation about debug
77 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
78 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
79 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
81 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
84 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
85 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
89 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
90 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
92 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
93 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
94 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
95 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
96 argv key in the options hash.
97 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
98 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
99 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
100 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
102 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
106 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
107 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
108 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
109 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
110 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
112 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
116 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
117 encoding test controller.
119 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
121 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
122 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
123 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
124 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
126 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
127 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
128 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
129 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
130 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
132 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
136 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
137 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
138 less packed with information of no use.
142 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
144 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
146 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
147 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
148 the single character '0'.
149 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
152 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
153 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
154 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
156 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
158 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
159 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
160 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
161 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
162 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
163 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
164 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
165 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
166 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
167 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
168 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
169 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
171 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
172 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
174 Refactoring / cleanups:
175 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
176 (and then skipped) normally.
179 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
181 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
184 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
185 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
186 on the old behaviour.
188 Refactoring / cleanups:
189 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
190 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
192 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
195 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
196 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
197 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
198 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
199 as there is no recommended alternative.
200 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
201 fallback for fully qualified component names.
202 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
203 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
204 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
205 startup, rather than with the first hit.
206 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
207 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
208 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
209 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
210 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
211 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
212 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
213 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
216 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
217 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
218 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
219 deprecated and causes warnings).
220 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
221 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
222 in the correct order.
223 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
225 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
226 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
227 is deprecated (RT#51489)
230 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
231 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
232 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
233 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
234 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
236 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
237 exception classes need to implement.
238 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
239 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
242 Refactoring / cleanups:
243 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
244 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
245 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
246 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
247 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
248 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
249 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
251 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
254 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
255 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
256 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
257 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
259 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
260 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
261 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
264 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
265 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
268 Refactoring / cleanups:
269 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
270 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
271 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
272 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
273 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
275 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
278 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
279 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
280 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
281 now loaded at most once + tests.
282 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
283 is returned to 'actions'.
284 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
285 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
287 Refactoring / cleanups:
288 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
289 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
292 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
293 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
294 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
296 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
299 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
300 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
303 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
306 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
307 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
308 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
310 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
313 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
314 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
315 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
317 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
320 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
321 application class immutable without that option.
322 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
323 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
325 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
326 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
327 (hopefully) future versions.
328 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
329 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
331 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
333 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
334 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
335 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
336 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
337 Request-URI of the Request-Line
339 Refactoring / cleanups:
340 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
341 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
342 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
343 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
344 known issues with 5.8.3.
345 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
346 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
349 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
350 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
351 for the controller namespace
352 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
353 expand_component_module (rjbs)
354 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
355 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
356 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
357 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
359 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
360 frontend port (jshirley)
361 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
365 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
366 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
367 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
368 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
371 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
374 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
375 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
376 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
378 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
379 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
380 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
381 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
382 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
383 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
387 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
388 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
389 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
392 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
395 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
396 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
398 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
399 in some environments.
400 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
401 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
402 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
403 except works correctly with closures.
404 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
405 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
406 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
408 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
409 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
410 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
413 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
414 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
415 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
416 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
417 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
418 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
420 Refactoring / cleanups:
421 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
422 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
423 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
424 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
426 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
427 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
428 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
430 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
431 again in Catalyst::Test
433 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
436 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
437 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
440 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
443 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
444 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
445 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
447 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
450 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
451 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
454 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
455 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
459 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
460 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
461 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
462 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
463 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
465 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
466 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
467 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
468 controller naming. (random)
469 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
470 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
471 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
472 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
473 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
475 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
477 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
478 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
479 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
481 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
482 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
483 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
484 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
485 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
486 to report 'Unknown Error'
487 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
488 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
489 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
490 parse_on_demand is on
492 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
493 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
494 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
495 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
496 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
497 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
498 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
499 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
500 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
502 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
503 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
504 Test::Aggregate is available.
505 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
506 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
507 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
508 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
509 disabling functionality from base controllers.
510 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
511 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
512 incompatibility issues in some cases.
513 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
514 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
515 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
516 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
517 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
518 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
519 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
520 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
521 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
522 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
523 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
525 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
526 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
527 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
528 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
529 configuration in your application.
531 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
532 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
533 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
535 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
536 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
538 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
539 has been made private
540 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
541 the request parameters with undef + test
542 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
543 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
545 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
547 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
548 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
549 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
551 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
552 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
553 warning on recent Moose versions.
554 - Add delta documentation
555 - Clean up recursion errors
556 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
557 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
559 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
560 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
562 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
563 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
564 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
565 tries to chain to itself
567 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
568 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
569 - Tests for this (radek)
570 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
571 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
572 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
573 - Tests for this (radek)
574 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
575 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
576 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
577 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
579 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
580 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
582 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
584 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
585 in production versions
586 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
587 the correct metaclass
588 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
589 the restarter process
590 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
591 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
593 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
594 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
595 immutable restart correctly.
597 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
598 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
599 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

611 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
612 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
613 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
614 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
615 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
616 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
617 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
619 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
620 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
621 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
624 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

659 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
660 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

680 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
682 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
