1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
5 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
6 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
7 included when not running from a checkout.
9 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
11 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
13 New features and refactoring:
14 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
15 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
16 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
18 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
19 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
20 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
23 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
24 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
25 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
27 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
29 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
30 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
31 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
32 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
33 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
34 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
36 Back compatibility fixes:
37 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
38 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
39 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
42 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
45 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
46 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
47 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
49 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
50 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
51 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
53 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
56 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
57 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
58 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
59 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
60 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
63 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
64 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
66 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
67 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
68 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
70 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
73 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
74 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
75 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
76 get them passed through to the application.
79 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
80 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
81 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
82 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
85 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
86 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
87 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
88 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
90 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
91 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
92 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
94 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
95 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
97 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
101 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
102 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
103 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
104 whereas before you had to say:
105 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
106 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
107 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
110 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
111 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
112 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
113 scripts in the application.
114 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
115 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
116 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
121 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
123 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
124 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
125 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
126 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
127 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
128 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
129 and provide an alternative.
131 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
135 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
138 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
141 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
143 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
144 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
145 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
146 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
147 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
148 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
152 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
153 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
155 Backward compatibility fixes:
157 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
158 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
162 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
163 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
165 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
167 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
169 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
170 Backward compatibility fixes:
172 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
173 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
175 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
179 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
180 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
181 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
183 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
185 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
186 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
188 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
192 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
194 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
196 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
198 Backward compatibility fixes:
200 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
202 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
203 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
204 for backward compatibility.
208 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
209 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
213 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
214 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
215 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
217 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
219 Backward compatibility fixes:
221 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
222 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
226 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
229 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
230 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
231 example) Coro is loaded.
233 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
234 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
236 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
237 using MooseX::Deamonize
239 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
240 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
241 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
242 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
243 deployed in these environments.
247 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
251 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
252 file for your application.
254 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
258 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
259 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
261 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
264 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
265 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
267 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
269 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
270 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
272 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
273 IO::Handle's behaviour.
275 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
276 was not breaking out correctly
278 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
279 to also work in the $c->component method.
281 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
282 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
283 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
285 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
287 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
289 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
291 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
292 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
295 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
297 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
300 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
304 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
305 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
306 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
308 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
311 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
313 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
314 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
315 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
317 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
320 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
321 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
322 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
323 the new major version of Catalyst.
326 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
327 of Catalyst has been much improved.
329 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
332 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
333 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
334 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
336 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
338 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
339 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
340 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
342 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
345 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
346 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
347 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
349 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
350 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
354 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
355 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
357 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
358 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
359 developers without changing their application code.
361 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
364 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
365 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
366 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
367 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
368 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
370 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
371 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
373 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
375 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
379 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
380 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
381 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
382 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
383 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
384 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
385 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
387 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
388 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
389 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
390 class, please tell us *now*.
392 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
395 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
397 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
398 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
399 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
400 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
401 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
402 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
405 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
406 the Content-Length header appropriately)
407 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
408 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
409 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
410 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
411 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
412 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
414 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
415 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
416 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
417 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
418 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
419 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
420 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
421 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
424 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
425 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
427 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
430 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
431 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
435 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
436 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
438 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
441 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
443 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
444 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
446 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
448 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
451 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
453 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
456 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
457 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
458 load Utils before MyApp.pm
460 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
463 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
465 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
466 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
467 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
468 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
469 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
471 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
474 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
475 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
476 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
479 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
480 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
485 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
488 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
491 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
492 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
493 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
494 the default action creation.
497 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
498 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
499 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
500 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
501 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
502 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
503 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
506 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
508 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
510 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
512 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
515 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
516 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
517 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
518 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
519 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
522 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
523 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
526 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
527 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
528 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
529 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
531 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
534 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
535 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
536 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
537 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
538 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
539 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
540 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
541 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
544 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
545 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
546 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
548 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
549 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
550 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
551 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
554 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
555 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
558 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
559 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
562 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
565 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
566 the content type and content length if available.
568 Refactoring / optimizations:
569 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
570 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
571 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
572 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
573 screen as easy to write.
574 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
575 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
576 in parameter filtering (for example).
577 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
578 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
579 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
580 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
581 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
584 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
585 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
586 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
587 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
589 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
592 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
593 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
595 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
598 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
599 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
601 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
604 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
605 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
606 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
607 which should not be encoded.
608 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
609 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
611 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
612 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
613 any set of args/captures.
615 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
616 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
618 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
622 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
624 - Various minor typo fixes.
627 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
629 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
632 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
633 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
634 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
637 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
638 - Clarify documentation about debug
641 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
642 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
643 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
645 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
648 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
649 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
653 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
654 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
656 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
657 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
658 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
659 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
660 argv key in the options hash.
661 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
662 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
663 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
664 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
666 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
670 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
671 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
672 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
673 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
674 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
676 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
680 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
681 encoding test controller.
683 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
685 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
686 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
688 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
690 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
691 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
692 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
693 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
694 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
696 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
700 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
701 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
702 less packed with information of no use.
706 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
708 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
710 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
711 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
712 the single character '0'.
713 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
716 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
717 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
718 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
720 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
722 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
723 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
724 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
725 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
726 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
727 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
728 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
729 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
730 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
731 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
732 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
733 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
735 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
736 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
738 Refactoring / cleanups:
739 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
740 (and then skipped) normally.
743 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
745 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
748 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
749 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
750 on the old behaviour.
752 Refactoring / cleanups:
753 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
754 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
756 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
759 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
760 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
761 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
762 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
763 as there is no recommended alternative.
764 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
765 fallback for fully qualified component names.
766 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
767 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
768 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
769 startup, rather than with the first hit.
770 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
771 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
772 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
773 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
774 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
775 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
776 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
777 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
780 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
781 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
782 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
783 deprecated and causes warnings).
784 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
785 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
786 in the correct order.
787 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
789 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
790 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
791 is deprecated (RT#51489)
794 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
795 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
796 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
797 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
798 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
800 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
801 exception classes need to implement.
802 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
803 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
806 Refactoring / cleanups:
807 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
808 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
809 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
810 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
811 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
812 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
813 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
815 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
818 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
819 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
820 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
821 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
823 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
824 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
825 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
828 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
829 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
832 Refactoring / cleanups:
833 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
834 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
835 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
836 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
837 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
839 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
842 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
843 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
844 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
845 now loaded at most once + tests.
846 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
847 is returned to 'actions'.
848 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
849 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
851 Refactoring / cleanups:
852 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
853 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
856 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
857 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
858 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
860 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
863 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
864 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
867 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
870 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
871 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
872 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
874 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
877 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
878 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
879 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
881 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
884 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
885 application class immutable without that option.
886 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
887 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
889 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
890 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
891 (hopefully) future versions.
892 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
893 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
895 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
897 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
898 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
899 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
900 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
901 Request-URI of the Request-Line
903 Refactoring / cleanups:
904 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
905 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
906 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
907 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
908 known issues with 5.8.3.
909 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
910 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
913 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
914 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
915 for the controller namespace
916 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
917 expand_component_module (rjbs)
918 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
919 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
920 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
921 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
923 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
924 frontend port (jshirley)
925 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
929 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
930 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
931 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
932 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
935 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
938 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
939 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
940 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
942 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
943 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
944 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
945 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
946 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
947 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
951 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
952 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
953 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
956 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
959 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
960 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
962 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
963 in some environments.
964 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
965 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
966 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
967 except works correctly with closures.
968 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
969 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
970 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
972 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
973 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
974 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
977 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
978 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
979 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
980 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
981 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
982 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
984 Refactoring / cleanups:
985 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
986 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
987 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
988 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
990 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
991 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
992 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
994 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
995 again in Catalyst::Test
997 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1000 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1001 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1004 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1007 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1008 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1009 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1011 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1014 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1015 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1018 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1019 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1023 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1024 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1025 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1026 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1027 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1029 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1030 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1031 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1032 controller naming. (random)
1033 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1034 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1035 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1036 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1037 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1039 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1041 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1042 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1043 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1045 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1046 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1047 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1048 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1049 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1050 to report 'Unknown Error'
1051 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1052 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1053 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1054 parse_on_demand is on
1056 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1057 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1058 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1059 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1060 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1061 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1062 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1063 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1064 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1066 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1067 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1068 Test::Aggregate is available.
1069 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1070 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1071 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1072 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1073 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1074 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1075 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1076 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1081 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1082 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1083 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1084 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1085 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1086 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1087 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1090 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1091 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1092 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1093 configuration in your application.
1095 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1096 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1097 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1099 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1100 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1102 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1103 has been made private
1104 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1105 the request parameters with undef + test
1106 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1107 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1109 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1111 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1112 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1113 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1115 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1116 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1117 warning on recent Moose versions.
1118 - Add delta documentation
1119 - Clean up recursion errors
1120 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1121 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1123 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1124 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1126 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1127 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1128 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1129 tries to chain to itself
1131 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1132 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1133 - Tests for this (radek)
1134 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1135 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1136 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1137 - Tests for this (radek)
1138 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1139 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1140 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1141 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1143 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1144 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1146 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1148 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1149 in production versions
1150 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1151 the correct metaclass
1152 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1153 the restarter process
1154 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1155 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1157 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1158 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1159 immutable restart correctly.
1161 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1162 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1163 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1164 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1165 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1166 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1167 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1168 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1169 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1170 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1171 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1172 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1173 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1174 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1175 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1176 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1177 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1178 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1179 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1180 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1181 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1183 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1184 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1185 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1188 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1189 - Add uri_with tests
1191 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1200 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1202 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1203 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1204 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1207 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
