1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
5 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
6 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
7 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
8 as there is no recommended alternative.
9 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
10 fallback for fully qualified component names.
11 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
12 - Require HTTP::Request 5.814 and HTTP::Response 5.813 from LWP 5.814
14 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
15 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
16 startup, rather than with the first hit.
19 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
20 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
23 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
24 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
25 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
26 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
27 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
30 Refactoring / cleanups:
31 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
32 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
33 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
34 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
35 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
36 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
38 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
41 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
42 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
43 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
44 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
46 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
47 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
48 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
51 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
52 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
55 Refactoring / cleanups:
56 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
57 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
58 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
59 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
60 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
62 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
65 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
66 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
67 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
68 now loaded at most once + tests.
69 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
70 is returned to 'actions'.
71 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
72 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
74 Refactoring / cleanups:
75 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
76 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
79 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
80 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
81 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
83 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
86 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
87 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
90 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
93 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
94 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
95 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
97 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
100 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
101 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
102 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
104 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
107 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
108 application class immutable without that option.
109 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
110 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
112 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
113 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
114 (hopefully) future versions.
115 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
116 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
118 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
120 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
121 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
122 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
123 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
124 Request-URI of the Request-Line
126 Refactoring / cleanups:
127 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
128 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
129 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
130 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
131 known issues with 5.8.3.
132 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
133 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
136 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
137 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
138 for the controller namespace
139 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
140 expand_component_module (rjbs)
141 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
142 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
143 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
144 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
146 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
147 frontend port (jshirley)
148 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
152 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
153 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
154 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
155 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
158 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
161 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
162 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
163 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
165 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
166 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
167 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
168 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
169 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
170 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
174 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
175 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
176 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
179 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
182 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
183 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
185 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
186 in some environments.
187 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
188 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
189 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
190 except works correctly with closures.
191 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
192 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
193 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
195 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
196 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
197 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
200 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
201 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
202 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
203 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
204 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
205 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
207 Refactoring / cleanups:
208 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
209 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
210 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
211 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
213 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
214 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
215 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
217 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
218 again in Catalyst::Test
220 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
223 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
224 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
227 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
230 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
231 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
232 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
234 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
237 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
238 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
241 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
242 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
246 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
247 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
248 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
249 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
250 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
252 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
253 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
254 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
255 controller naming. (random)
256 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
257 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
258 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
259 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
260 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
262 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
264 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
265 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
266 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
268 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
269 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
270 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
271 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
272 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
273 to report 'Unknown Error'
274 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
275 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
276 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
277 parse_on_demand is on

286 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
287 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
289 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
290 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
291 Test::Aggregate is available.
292 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
293 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
294 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
295 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
296 disabling functionality from base controllers.
297 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
298 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
299 incompatibility issues in some cases.

304 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
305 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
306 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
307 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
308 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
309 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
310 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
312 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
313 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
314 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
315 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
316 configuration in your application.
318 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
319 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
320 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
322 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
323 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

328 the request parameters with undef + test
329 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
330 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
332 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
334 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying

340 warning on recent Moose versions.
341 - Add delta documentation
342 - Clean up recursion errors
343 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
344 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
346 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
347 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
349 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
350 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
351 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
352 tries to chain to itself
354 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
355 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
356 - Tests for this (radek)
357 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
358 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
359 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
360 - Tests for this (radek)
361 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
362 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
363 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

366 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
367 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
369 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
371 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
372 in production versions
373 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
374 the correct metaclass
375 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
376 the restarter process
377 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
378 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
380 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
381 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
382 immutable restart correctly.
384 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
385 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
386 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
387 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

398 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
399 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
400 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
401 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
402 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
403 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
404 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
406 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
407 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
408 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
411 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

459 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
460 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
461 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
462 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
463 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
464 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
466 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
467 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
469 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
470 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

473 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
474 test sync for engines easier
475 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
476 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
478 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
479 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher

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

541 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
542 - Test for this (caelum)
543 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to

624 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
625 method with a regex as the argument
