4 * Fix tests to skip if YAML::Syck is not installed (Arthur Axel fREW Schmidt)
6 Tue 03 Sep 2013 13:00:00 EST - Release 1.12
8 WARNING BACK COMPAT BREAKAGE FOLLOWS
10 Removed The YAML and HTML parser from the distro. You
11 should install these if you actually use them. They are listed as
12 optional dependencies going forward.
14 This is possibly a breaking change, but necessary for security and
15 considered acceptable since those formats have not generally
16 become preferred for web services.
18 In addition, the default de/serialization mappings for HTML and YAML
19 have been removed. You can add that back by adding the following to
20 you Configuration for the subclass of Catalyst::Controller::REST -
22 package Foo::Controller::Bar;
25 use namespace::autoclean;
27 BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::REST' }
30 'text/html' => 'YAML::HTML',
31 'text/x-yaml' => 'YAML',
35 You should do this if you are using these de/serialization formats.
37 Sun 16 Jun 2013 15:23:03 BST - Release 1.11
38 Fix infinite recursion in tests under Catalyst 5.90040
40 Mon 22 Apr 2013 14:36:53 BST - Release 1.10
41 Use YAML rather than JSON in basic tests
43 Fri 19 Apr 2013 13:34:38 BST - Release 1.09
44 Don't load Data::Serializer unnecessarily in tests
46 Tue 16 Apr 2013 08:33:00 BST - Release 1.08
47 Factor Data::Serializable into it's own dist to stop breakages.
57 You'll need to install Catalyst-Action-Serialize-Data-Serializer and add the
58 appropriate lines to your controller config. Said lines may be:
60 'text/x-data-dumper' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'Data::Dumper' ],
61 'text/x-data-denter' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'Data::Denter' ],
62 'text/x-data-taxi' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'Data::Taxi' ],
63 'text/x-config-general' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'Config::General' ],
64 'text/x-php-serialization' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'PHP::Serialization' ],
66 Thu 11 Apr 2013 20:20:00 BST - Release 1.07
67 Don't serialize if a view is explicitly set.
69 If the controller sets the view in $c->stash->{current_view} or
70 $c->stash->{current_view_instance}, then it is explicitly requesting a
71 certain kind of serialization and C::A::Serialize shouldn't override
74 Remove Storable and FreezeThaw from the list
75 of serialization methods offered by default, and
76 from the docs - they're totally unsafe :/
78 Tue 11 Dec 2012 22:04:00 GMT - Release 1.06
79 Sort list of allowed methods. RT#81825
81 Mon 2 Jul 2012 20:13:00 BST - Release 1.05

87 Bugfix to _dispatch_rest_method
89 Wed 28 Jun 2012 00:40:00 BST - Release 1.03
90 Expose _get_allowed_methods to the API (wreis)
92 Fix default OPTIONS handler: As the ->body is defined, then serialization
93 won't happen and we don't get wrong responses. (wreis)
95 Add default HEAD handler: auto dispatches to _GET method if it exists (wreis)
97 Tue 5 Jun 2012 22:23:00 BST - Release 1.02
98 Fix forwarded REST methods, e.g. foo_GET to be more
99 correctly displayed as a forward in the stats info.
101 Make public response building methods for errors
102 _unsupported_media_type and _serialize_bad_request which
103 can be extended from an action-role to return custom
106 Tue 29 May 2012 20:19:00 BST - Release 1.01
107 Add Catalyst::Action::Deserialize::JSON::XS
109 Fix JSON::XS useage to depend on JSON.pm v2.0, and rely on the
110 fact that can be backed by XS code, by explicitly setting
111 $ENV{'PERL_JSON_BACKEND'} = 2
113 Fri 13 Apr 2012 09:31:00 BST - Release 1.00
114 Repack without auto_include to stop Module::Install inlining

117 Tue 28 Feb 2012 09:09:00 GMT - Release 0.99
118 Repack with new Module::Install to stop depending on an unnecessary
119 ExtUtils::MakeMaker version.

122 More fixes as per last release.
124 Tue 21 Feb 2012 09:58:00 GMT - Release 0.97

131 Wed 04 Jan 2012 19:34:00 GMT - Release 0.95
132 Fix regex for JSONP parameter name to be able to include the . character
133 in Catalyst::Action::Serialize::JSONP. RT#73741
135 Add optional location parameter to status_accepted handler. RT#73691 (ghenry)
137 Fri 09 Dec 2011 08:35:00 GMT - Release 0.94

139 Catalyst::Controller::REST (Caleb Cushing)
141 Wed 12 Oct 2011 11:37:00 CDT - Release 0.93
142 Add a "Callback" serializer/deserializer to allow for more customization in
143 how the REST data is parsed/generated (bphillips)
145 Sat 01 Oct 2011 11:04:00 BST - Release 0.92
146 Add a Catalyst::Action::DeserializeMultiPart, allowing one part of a multipart
147 request to be deserialized as the REST data (allowing other parts to be used for
148 file uploads, for example) (bphillips)
150 Thu 04 Aug 2011 14:37:21 CEST - Release 0.91
151 For the deserialization action class, make the HTTP methods it operates on
152 configurable on a per-action level (plu, rafl).
154 Fri 25 Feb 2011 13:56:00 GMT - Release 0.90
155 Remove test which is no longer applicable and fails in the latest Catalyst
158 Mon 24 Jan 2011 21:57:42 GMT - Release 0.89
159 All classes are now made immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
161 Added a Catalyst::Action::REST::ForBrowsers class. This will try to dispatch
162 GET requests to a foo_GET_html method before trying foo_GET. (Dave Rolsky)
164 Tue 11 Jan 2011 23:07:00 GMT - Release 0.88
165 Fix documentation for overriding Serialize and Deserialize actions
166 in Catalyst::Controller::REST.
168 Avoid warning with empty response bodies and new Catalyst version
171 Returning a body of '' is now possible - Catalyst::Action::Serialize
172 acts like Catalyst::Action::RenderView (>= 0.16) by using the has_body
173 predicate in Catalyst::Response (>= 5.80030)
175 Wed 3 Nov 2010 19:46:00 GMT - Release 0.87
177 Fix Request class role when used with new Moose and other request
180 Wed 1 Sept 2010 23:14:00 BST - Release 0.86
182 Add rest_serializer_json_options config key useable to set options

185 Make Data::Dumper unserializer safer by using a Safe compartment (Ton Voon)
187 Thu 13 May 2010 10:09:19 CEST - Release 0.85
189 Make Catalyst::Action::Serialize::View return directly rather than serializing
190 a response for 3XX status codes. This stops back-compat breakage from the
191 previous change (in 0.84), whilst also allowing actual data serializers
194 Fix docs in Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST::ForBrowsers. (RT#54983)
196 Thu 6 May 2010 09:27:56 BST - Release 0.84
197 Revert always using a trait rather than Catalyst::Request::REST to improve
200 Add a status_multiple_choices helper method to the Controller base class.
202 Allow 3XX responses to be serialized.
204 Mon 8 Feb 2010 22:17:12 GMT - Release 0.83
205 Make it possible to deserialize a request with a DELETE method. This probably
206 breaks 'strict' REST guidelines, but is useful for being able to delete multiple
207 resources from a single call by providing a batch delete method.
209 Remove JSONP from the list of default serializers (RT#54336)
211 Fix MANIFEST (RT#54408)
213 Thu 4 Feb 2010 22:31:57 GMT - Release 0.82
215 Integrated Catalyst::Request::REST::ForBrowsers as
216 Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::ForBrowsers. (Dave Rolsky)
218 Clarified docs so that they encourage the use of the request traits, rather
219 than using Catalyst::Request::REST. (Dave Rolsky)
221 When Catalyst::Action::REST or Controller::REST automatically add the trait,
222 your request class will no longer end up getting set to
223 Catalyst::Request::REST. Instead, creates an anon class with the appropriate
226 Shut up log output from the tests. (Dave Rolsky)
228 Added a $VERSION to every module, mostly to make sure that when people
229 install Catalyst::Request::REST::ForBrowsers, they get the version in this
230 distro. (Dave Rolsky)
232 Change Catalyst::Action::Serialize, Catalyst::Action::Deserialize and
233 Catalyst::Action::SerializeBase to be more Moose like.
235 Fix JSON and JSON::XS to encode_blessed. (fREW)
237 Fix Catalyst::Action::Serialize to use objects instead of classes. (fREW)
239 Fix doc nits. (RT#53780)
241 Thu 14 Jan 20:56:00 GMT 2010 - Release 0.81
243 Add a JSONP serialization type.
245 Sat 19 Dec 14:54:00 GMT 2009 - Release 0.80
247 Convert all classes to Moose
249 Change Catalyst::Request::REST to be a mostly empty class, with
250 all the functionality in Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST
252 Simplify _get_allowed_methods method (aristotle)
254 Rework serializer return so that serializers throw an exception in
255 the case of issues serializing the data (hobbs).
257 Fri 11 Dec 01:08:00 GMT 2009 - Release 0.79
259 Cope with invalid (missing required q parameter) header like:
260 application/json; charset="utf-8"
262 Fix documentation to not mention deprecated things and generally be
265 Make author information consistant and only in one module.
267 Mon 28 Sep 15:01:03 BST 2009 - Release 0.78
269 Require Moose for the tests (RT#50066).

273 Allow dispatching to Catalyst Actions, for use with ActionClasses
276 Fix test if CATALYST_DEBUG environment variable is set
278 Fri Aug 21 21:20:52 BST 2009 - Release 0.76
280 Added two new status response helpers (202 no content and 410 gone),
281 and tests - Franck Cuny
283 Mon Aug 17 14:07:41 BST 2009 - Release 0.75
285 Fix optional test failures in catalyst-action-serialize-accept.t
287 Added a serializer for JSON::XS
289 Made test independent of YAML::Syck bugs (dandv)
291 Wed Jul 22 23:49:16 BST 2009 (t0m) - Release 0.74
293 Switch from NEXT to MRO::Compat (agladdish).
295 Add display of additional REST actions in the stats, and also fix a warning
296 in Catalyst 5.80 when you forward to another action from inside an
297 action_FOO method (as it was confusing the stats).
301 Catalyst::Action::REST no longer @ISA Catalyst or Catalyst::Controller.
303 Change constructor to call next::method instead of SUPER::
305 Change method used to find the application class to be more correct

321 Fix RT#32342, deprecated config loses default map (hdp)

359 Updated my contact information.
362 Thu Jan 3 19:42:16 EST 2008
363 Fixed RT#30498 - REST controller references Catalyst without
365 Fixed RT#32042 - Import of Params::Validate :all plays badly
366 with subclasses that have their own validate()
367 Fixed RT#30456 - Debug messages print even with debugging disabled
369 Thu Jan 3 08:54:09 PST 2008
370 Fixed an issue where YAML::Syck versions 0.92 require $c->request->body to
373 Fri Dec 21 15:23:46 EDT 2007
374 Updated the configuration specifiers to operate more in line with the way
375 Catalyst expects. Most notably component based configuration through
376 "Controller::RestClass" now works. "serialize" at the top level simply
377 is suggested defaults that all REST classes inherit.
379 Wed Jul 04 11:17:20 EDT 2007
380 Fixed 'default' serializer to set a valid Content-Type: header. Fixes
381 RT ticket 27949. Note that behavior has changed -- the default
382 serializer must now be specified as a content-type, not as a plugin
383 name. (dmo@roaringpenguin.com)
385 Thu May 24 14:01:06 PDT 2007 (adam) - Release 0.41
386 Moved a bogus $self->class to $c->component($self->class)
388 Fri Mar 9 14:13:29 PST 2007 (adam) - Release 0.40
389 Refactored the Content-Type negotiation to live in Catalyst::Request::REST. (drolsky)
390 Added some useful debugging. (drolsky)
391 Added a View serializer/deserializer, which simply calls the correct
392 Catalyst view. ('text/html' => [ 'View', 'TT' ]) (claco, adam)
394 Wed Dec 6 00:45:02 PST 2006 (adam) - Release 0.31
395 Fixed a bug where we would report a blank content-type negotiation.
396 Added Data::Dump as a dependency.
398 Tue Dec 5 13:02:08 PST 2006 (adam)
399 Made the YAML::HTML view automatically append content-type=text/html on
402 Sun Dec 3 12:24:16 PST 2006 (adam) - Release 0.30
403 Updated the Makefile to support optional installation of the different
404 Serialization formats.
405 Renamed some of the test cases, since the execution order doesn't
407 Fixed things so that not having a Serialization module returns 415.
408 Fixed things so that failure to Deserialize sends the proper status.
409 Refactored the Plugin loading to Catalyst::Action::SerializeBase.
410 Updated the Documentation.
411 Added a whole raft of serializers. (JSON, all the Data::Serializer
412 supported ones, and XML::Simple)
415 Thu Nov 30 23:51:04 PST 2006 (adam)
416 Refactored the Catalyst::Action::REST dispatch, so that the default
417 method is called before any _METHOD handlers. In addition, moved
418 the 405 Not Implemented handler to be foo_not_implemented, instead
419 of the default sub. (daisuke++ pointed out the inconsistency and
420 provided a patch, and I added the foo_not_implemented support)
422 Added in automated OPTIONS handler, which constructs the allow
423 header for you, just like the 405 handler. Can be overridden
424 with a normal _METHOD sub.
426 Refactored Test::Rest, so that it uses closures to create the
427 very similar $test->method() subs.
429 Added tests for Catalyst::Action::REST.
431 Thu Nov 30 17:14:51 PST 2006 (adam) - Release 0.2
432 Added documentation patch from Daisuke Maki (daisuke@endeworks.jp)

446 Added more status_ helpers
448 Thu Oct 19 16:04:33 PDT 2006 (adam)
449 Converted error helpers to return an object instead of plain-text. It's
450 a more consistent model than a text/plain error message.
451 Added logging to 4xx status handlers
