1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Announcing the repo is now open for development of Perl Catalyst 'Runner'
4 - http://questhub.io/realm/perl/explore/latest/tag/runner
7 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
8 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
9 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
11 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
12 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
13 reported while installing.
14 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
15 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
16 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
17 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
18 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
19 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
20 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
21 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
22 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
23 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
24 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
25 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
26 - update copyright notices.
28 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
29 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
30 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
31 fails to install (sorry).
32 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
33 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
34 middleware deal with it.
36 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
37 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
38 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
39 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
40 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
41 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
42 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
43 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
44 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
46 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
47 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
48 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
49 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
50 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
51 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
52 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
53 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
54 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
55 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
57 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
58 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
59 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
60 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
64 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
65 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
66 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
67 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
68 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
69 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
73 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
74 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
75 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
77 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
78 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
79 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
81 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
82 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
83 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
84 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
86 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
87 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
88 - Various POD formating fixed.
89 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
90 accept and issues that might arise.
93 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
94 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
97 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
98 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
101 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
102 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
103 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
105 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
106 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
107 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
108 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
110 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
111 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
112 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
114 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
115 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
116 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
117 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
118 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
120 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
121 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
122 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
123 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
124 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
125 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
126 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
127 cases to reflect this change.
129 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
130 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
131 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
132 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
133 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
134 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
135 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
136 those keys already exist). Keys added:
137 - plack.request.query
139 - plack.request.merged
140 - plack.request.http.body
141 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
142 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
143 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
144 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
145 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
146 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
147 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
148 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
149 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
150 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
151 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
152 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
153 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
154 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
155 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
156 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
157 is a scalar or arrayref.
158 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
159 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
161 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
162 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
163 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
165 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
166 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
167 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
168 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
169 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
170 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
171 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
172 a development setup (ether++)
174 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
175 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
176 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
177 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
178 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
179 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
180 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
181 case t/data_handler.t
183 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
184 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
185 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
186 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
187 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
190 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
191 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
192 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
193 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
195 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
197 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
201 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
202 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
203 this fixes all of them.
204 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
205 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
206 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
207 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
209 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
212 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
213 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
214 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
215 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
216 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
217 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
218 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
220 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
221 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
222 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
223 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
224 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
225 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
227 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
228 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
229 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
230 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
231 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
232 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
233 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
234 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
236 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
239 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
240 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
241 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
242 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
243 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
244 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
246 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
247 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
248 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
249 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
250 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
251 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
254 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
255 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
256 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
257 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
258 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
259 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
260 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
261 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
262 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
263 in behavior is compatible on its own.
264 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
265 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
266 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
267 - Some test and documentation improvements
269 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
270 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
271 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
272 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
275 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
276 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
279 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
280 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
282 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
283 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
285 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
287 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
288 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
290 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
292 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
293 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
294 of request or response classes.
296 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
297 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
298 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
299 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
300 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
301 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
302 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
303 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
304 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
305 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
307 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
308 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
309 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
310 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
311 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
313 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
315 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
316 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
318 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
320 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
321 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
322 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
325 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
328 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
331 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
332 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
334 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
337 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
340 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
342 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
344 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
346 Distribution META.yml changes:
347 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
348 mis-parses from the documentation.
349 - x_authority key added.
352 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
353 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
355 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
356 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
357 is less than helpful.
359 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
360 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
361 in bleadperl. RT#76437
363 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
364 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
367 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
368 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
370 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
371 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
372 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
374 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
377 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
378 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
379 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
380 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
381 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
382 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
384 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
386 - --background option for the server script now only closes
387 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
388 and other loggers which open a file handle when
389 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
390 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
391 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
394 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
397 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
398 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
399 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
400 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
402 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
405 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
408 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
409 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
410 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
411 included when not running from a checkout.
413 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
415 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
416 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
417 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
419 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
421 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
423 New features and refactoring:
424 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
425 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
426 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
428 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
429 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
430 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
433 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
434 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
435 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
437 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
439 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
440 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
441 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
442 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
443 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
444 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
446 Back compatibility fixes:
447 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
448 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
449 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
452 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
455 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
456 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
457 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
459 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
460 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
461 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
463 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
466 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
467 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
468 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
469 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
470 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
473 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
474 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
476 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
477 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
478 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
480 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
483 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
484 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
485 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
486 get them passed through to the application.
489 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
490 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
491 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
492 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
495 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
496 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
497 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
498 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
500 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
501 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
502 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
504 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
505 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
507 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
511 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
512 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
513 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
514 whereas before you had to say:
515 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
516 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
517 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
520 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
521 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
522 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
523 scripts in the application.
524 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
525 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
526 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
531 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
533 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
534 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
535 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
536 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
537 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
538 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
539 and provide an alternative.
541 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
545 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
548 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
551 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
553 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
554 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
555 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
556 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
557 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
558 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
562 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
563 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
565 Backward compatibility fixes:
567 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
568 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
572 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
573 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
575 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
577 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
579 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
580 Backward compatibility fixes:
582 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
583 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
585 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
589 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
590 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
591 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
593 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
595 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
596 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
598 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
602 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
604 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
606 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
608 Backward compatibility fixes:
610 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
612 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
613 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
614 for backward compatibility.
618 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
619 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
623 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
624 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
625 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
627 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
629 Backward compatibility fixes:
631 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
632 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
636 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
639 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
640 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
641 example) Coro is loaded.
643 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
644 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
646 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
647 using MooseX::Deamonize
649 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
650 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
651 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
652 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
653 deployed in these environments.
657 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
661 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
662 file for your application.
664 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
668 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
669 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
671 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
674 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
675 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
677 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
679 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
680 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
682 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
683 IO::Handle's behaviour.
685 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
686 was not breaking out correctly
688 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
689 to also work in the $c->component method.
691 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
692 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
693 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
695 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
697 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
699 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
701 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
702 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
705 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
707 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
710 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
714 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
715 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
716 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
718 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
721 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
723 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
724 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
725 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
727 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
730 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
731 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
732 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
733 the new major version of Catalyst.
736 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
737 of Catalyst has been much improved.
739 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
742 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
743 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
744 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
746 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
748 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
749 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
750 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
752 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
755 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
756 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
757 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
759 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
760 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
764 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
765 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
767 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
768 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
769 developers without changing their application code.
771 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
774 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
775 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
776 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
777 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
778 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
780 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
781 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
783 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
785 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
789 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
790 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
791 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
792 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
793 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
794 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
795 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
797 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
798 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
799 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
800 class, please tell us *now*.
802 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
805 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
807 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
808 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
809 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
810 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
811 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
812 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
815 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
816 the Content-Length header appropriately)
817 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
818 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
819 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
820 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
821 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
822 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
824 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
825 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
826 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
827 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
828 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
829 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
830 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
831 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
834 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
835 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
837 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
840 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
841 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
845 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
846 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
848 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
851 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
853 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
854 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
856 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
858 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
861 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
863 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
866 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
867 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
868 load Utils before MyApp.pm
870 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
873 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
875 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
876 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
877 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
878 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
879 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
881 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
884 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
885 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
886 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
889 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
890 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
895 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
898 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
901 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
902 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
903 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
904 the default action creation.
907 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
908 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
909 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
910 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
911 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
912 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
913 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
916 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
918 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
920 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
922 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
925 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
926 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
927 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
928 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
929 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
932 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
933 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
936 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
937 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
938 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
939 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
941 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
944 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
945 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
946 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
947 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
948 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
949 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
950 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
951 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
954 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
955 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
956 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
958 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
959 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
960 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
961 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
964 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
965 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
968 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
969 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
972 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
975 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
976 the content type and content length if available.
978 Refactoring / optimizations:
979 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
980 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
981 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
982 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
983 screen as easy to write.
984 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
985 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
986 in parameter filtering (for example).
987 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
988 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
989 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
990 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
991 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
994 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
995 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
996 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
997 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
999 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1002 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1003 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1005 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1008 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1009 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1011 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1014 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1015 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1016 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1017 which should not be encoded.
1018 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1019 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1021 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1022 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1023 any set of args/captures.
1025 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1026 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1028 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1032 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1034 - Various minor typo fixes.
1037 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1039 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1042 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1043 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1044 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1047 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1048 - Clarify documentation about debug
1051 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1052 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1053 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1055 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1058 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1059 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1063 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1064 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1066 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1067 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1068 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1069 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1070 argv key in the options hash.
1071 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1072 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1073 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1074 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1076 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1080 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1081 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1082 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1083 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1084 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1086 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1090 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1091 encoding test controller.
1093 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1095 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1096 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1098 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1100 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1101 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1102 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1103 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1104 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1106 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1110 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1111 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1112 less packed with information of no use.
1116 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1118 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1120 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1121 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1122 the single character '0'.
1123 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1126 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1127 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1128 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1130 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1132 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1133 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1134 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1135 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1136 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1137 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1138 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1139 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1140 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1141 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1142 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1143 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1145 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1146 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1148 Refactoring / cleanups:
1149 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1150 (and then skipped) normally.
1153 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1155 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1158 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1159 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1160 on the old behaviour.
1162 Refactoring / cleanups:
1163 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1164 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1166 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1169 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1170 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1171 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1172 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1173 as there is no recommended alternative.
1174 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1175 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1176 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1177 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1178 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1179 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1180 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1181 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1182 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1183 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1184 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1185 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1186 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1187 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1190 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1191 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1192 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1193 deprecated and causes warnings).
1194 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1195 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1196 in the correct order.
1197 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1199 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1200 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1201 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1204 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1205 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1206 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1207 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1208 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1210 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1211 exception classes need to implement.
1212 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1213 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1216 Refactoring / cleanups:
1217 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1218 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1219 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1220 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1221 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1222 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1223 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1225 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1228 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1229 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1230 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1231 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1233 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1234 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1235 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1238 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1239 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1242 Refactoring / cleanups:
1243 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1244 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1245 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1246 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1247 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1249 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1252 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1253 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1254 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1255 now loaded at most once + tests.
1256 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1257 is returned to 'actions'.
1258 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1259 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1261 Refactoring / cleanups:
1262 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1263 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1266 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1267 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1268 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1270 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1273 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1274 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1277 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1280 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1281 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1282 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1284 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1287 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1288 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1289 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1291 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1294 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1295 application class immutable without that option.
1296 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1297 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1299 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1300 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1301 (hopefully) future versions.
1302 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1303 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1304 variables (RT#48555)
1305 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1307 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1308 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1309 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1310 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1311 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1313 Refactoring / cleanups:
1314 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1315 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1316 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1317 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1318 known issues with 5.8.3.
1319 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1320 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1323 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1324 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1325 for the controller namespace
1326 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1327 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1328 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1329 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1330 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1331 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1333 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1334 frontend port (jshirley)
1335 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1339 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1340 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1341 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1342 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1345 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1348 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1349 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1350 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1352 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1353 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1354 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1355 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1356 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1357 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1361 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1362 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1363 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1366 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1369 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1370 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1372 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1373 in some environments.
1374 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1375 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1376 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1377 except works correctly with closures.
1378 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1379 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1380 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1381 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1382 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1383 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1384 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1387 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1388 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1389 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1390 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1391 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1392 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1394 Refactoring / cleanups:
1395 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1396 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1397 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1398 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1400 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1401 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1402 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1404 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1405 again in Catalyst::Test
1407 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1410 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1411 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1414 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1417 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1418 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1419 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1421 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1424 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1425 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1428 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1429 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1433 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1434 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1435 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1436 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1437 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1439 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1440 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1441 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1442 controller naming. (random)
1443 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1444 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1445 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1446 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1447 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1449 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1453 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1455 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1456 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1457 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1458 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1459 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1460 to report 'Unknown Error'
1461 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1462 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1463 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1464 parse_on_demand is on
1466 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1467 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1468 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1469 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1470 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1471 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1473 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1474 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1476 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1477 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1478 Test::Aggregate is available.
1479 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1480 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1481 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1482 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1483 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1492 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1493 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1494 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1495 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1496 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1497 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1500 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1501 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1502 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1503 configuration in your application.
1505 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1506 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1507 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1509 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1510 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1512 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1513 has been made private
1514 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten

1517 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1519 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1521 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1522 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions

1527 warning on recent Moose versions.
1528 - Add delta documentation
1529 - Clean up recursion errors
1530 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1531 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1533 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1534 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1536 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1537 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1538 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1539 tries to chain to itself
1541 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1542 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1543 - Tests for this (radek)
1544 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1545 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1546 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1547 - Tests for this (radek)
1548 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1549 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1550 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1551 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1553 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1554 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1556 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1558 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1559 in production versions
1560 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1561 the correct metaclass
1562 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1563 the restarter process
1564 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1565 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1567 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1568 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1569 immutable restart correctly.
1571 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1572 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1583 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1584 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1585 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1586 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1587 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1588 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1589 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1590 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1591 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1593 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1594 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1595 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1598 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1626 keep-alive requests.
1627 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1628 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1629 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1630 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1632 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1633 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1634 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1635 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1636 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1637 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1638 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

1642 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1643 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1644 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1645 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1646 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1647 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1648 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1649 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1650 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1651 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1653 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1654 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1656 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1657 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1658 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.

1661 test sync for engines easier
1662 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1663 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1665 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional

1667 rather than the stringified ref.
1668 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

1670 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1671 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1672 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1674 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1675 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1676 die, as it didn't in 5.70

1679 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1680 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1681 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1682 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1683 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1684 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
