1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
5 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
6 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
7 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
8 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
9 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
10 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
11 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
12 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
15 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
16 trying to create parameters twice.
17 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
18 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
19 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
20 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
21 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
22 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
23 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
24 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
25 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
26 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
27 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
30 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
31 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
32 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
33 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
34 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
35 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
38 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
39 to prevent it happening again.
42 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
43 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
44 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
45 test case to prevent regressions.
48 - Minor documentation corrections
49 - Make the '79 development series stable
51 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
52 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
53 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
54 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
55 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
57 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
58 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
59 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
60 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
61 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
62 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
63 changes introduced in v5.90080.
65 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
66 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
67 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
68 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
69 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
70 note posted a few months ago.
71 - Added my name to the contributors list
73 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
74 - Merged changes from 5.90078
75 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
76 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
77 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
78 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
79 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
80 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
81 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
82 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
83 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
84 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
85 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
87 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
88 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
89 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
91 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
92 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
93 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
94 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
95 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
96 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
97 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
98 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
99 has already been called (and headers already sent).
100 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
101 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
103 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
104 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
105 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
107 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
108 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
111 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
112 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
113 existing Plack conventions.
114 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
115 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
116 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
117 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
118 don't bubble back up to the main application.
119 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
120 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
121 I highly suggest you test this release.
122 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
123 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
124 correct if incorrect :)
125 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
126 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
127 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
128 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
129 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
130 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
131 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
132 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
133 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
135 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
136 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
137 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
139 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
140 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
141 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
142 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
146 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
148 - updated year in copyright notices
151 - POD corrections (sergey++)
152 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
153 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
154 trouble. (davewood++);
155 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
156 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
157 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
160 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
161 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
162 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
163 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
164 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
167 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
168 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
169 HTTP Exception middleware.
172 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
173 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
174 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
175 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
176 you really need to review this exploit.
179 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
182 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
183 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
184 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
185 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
187 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
190 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
191 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
192 so you can go to hunt it out.
195 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
196 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
197 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
198 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
199 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
200 - Added Italian translation of default error.
203 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
206 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
207 certain tests. No other changes.
210 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
211 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
212 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
214 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
216 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
218 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
222 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
223 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
224 questions or problems!
225 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
226 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
227 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
228 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
229 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
230 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
231 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
232 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
233 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
236 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
237 - documentation and test fixes
240 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
241 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
242 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
243 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
244 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
245 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
246 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
249 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
250 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
253 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
254 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
255 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
256 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
257 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
258 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
259 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
260 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
262 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
265 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
266 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
269 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
270 introduced by a change in December.
273 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
276 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
277 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
278 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
279 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
280 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
283 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
284 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
285 reported while installing.
286 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
287 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
288 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
289 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
290 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
291 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
292 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
293 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
294 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
295 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
296 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
297 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
298 - update copyright notices.
300 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
301 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
302 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
303 fails to install (sorry).
304 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
305 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
306 middleware deal with it.
308 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
309 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
310 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
311 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
312 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
313 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
314 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
315 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
316 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
318 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
319 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
320 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
321 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
322 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
323 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
324 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
325 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
326 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
327 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
329 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
330 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
331 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
332 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
336 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
337 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
338 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
339 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
340 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
341 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
345 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
346 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
347 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
349 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
350 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
351 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
353 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
354 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
355 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
356 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
358 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
359 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
360 - Various POD formatting fixed.
361 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
362 accept and issues that might arise.
365 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
366 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
369 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
370 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
371 for internal methods:
373 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
374 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
375 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
377 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
378 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
379 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
380 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
382 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
383 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
384 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
386 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
387 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
388 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
389 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
390 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
392 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
393 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
394 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
395 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
396 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
397 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
398 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
399 cases to reflect this change.
401 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
402 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
403 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
404 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
405 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
406 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
407 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
408 those keys already exist). Keys added:
409 - plack.request.query
411 - plack.request.merged
412 - plack.request.http.body
413 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
414 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
415 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
416 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
417 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
418 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
419 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
420 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
421 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
422 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
423 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
424 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
425 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
426 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
427 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
428 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
429 is a scalar or arrayref.
430 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
431 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
433 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
434 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
435 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
437 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
438 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
439 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
440 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
441 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
442 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
443 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
444 a development setup (ether++)
446 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
447 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
448 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
449 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
450 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
451 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
452 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
453 case t/data_handler.t
455 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
456 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
457 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
458 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
459 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
462 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
463 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
464 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
465 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
467 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
469 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
473 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
474 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
475 this fixes all of them.
476 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
477 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
478 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
479 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
481 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
484 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
485 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
486 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
487 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
488 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
489 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
490 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
492 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
493 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
494 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
495 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
496 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
497 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
499 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
500 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
501 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
502 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
503 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
504 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
505 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
506 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
508 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
511 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
512 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
513 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
514 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
515 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
516 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
518 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
519 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
520 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
521 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
522 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
523 - smarter validation around action attributes.
526 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
527 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
528 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
529 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
530 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
531 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
532 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
533 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
534 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
535 in behavior is compatible on its own.
536 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
537 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
538 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
539 - Some test and documentation improvements
541 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
542 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
543 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
544 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
547 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
548 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
551 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
552 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
554 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
555 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
557 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
559 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
560 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
562 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
564 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
565 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
566 of request or response classes.
568 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
569 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
570 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
571 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
572 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
573 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
574 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
575 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
576 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
577 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
579 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
580 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
581 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
582 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
583 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
585 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
587 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
588 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
590 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
592 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
593 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
594 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
597 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
600 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
603 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
604 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
606 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
609 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
612 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
614 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
616 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
618 Distribution META.yml changes:
619 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
620 mis-parses from the documentation.
621 - x_authority key added.
624 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
625 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
627 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
628 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
629 is less than helpful.
631 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
632 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
633 in bleadperl. RT#76437
635 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
636 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
639 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
640 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
642 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
643 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
644 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
646 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
649 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
650 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
651 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
652 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
653 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
654 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
656 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
658 - --background option for the server script now only closes
659 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
660 and other loggers which open a file handle when
661 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
662 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
663 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
666 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
669 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
670 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
671 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
672 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
674 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
677 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
680 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
681 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
682 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
683 included when not running from a checkout.
685 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
687 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
688 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
689 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
691 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
693 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
695 New features and refactoring:
696 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
697 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
698 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
700 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
701 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
702 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
705 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
706 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
707 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
709 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
711 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
712 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
713 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
714 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
715 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
716 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
718 Back compatibility fixes:
719 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
720 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
721 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
724 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
727 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
728 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
729 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
731 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
732 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
733 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
735 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
738 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
739 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
740 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
741 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
742 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
745 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
746 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
748 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
749 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
750 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
752 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
755 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
756 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
757 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
758 get them passed through to the application.
761 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
762 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
763 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
764 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
767 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
768 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
769 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
770 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
772 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
773 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
774 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
776 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
777 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
779 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
783 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
784 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
785 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
786 whereas before you had to say:
787 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
788 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
789 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
792 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
793 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
794 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
795 scripts in the application.
796 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
797 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
798 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
803 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
805 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
806 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
807 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
808 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
809 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
810 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
811 and provide an alternative.
813 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
817 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
820 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
823 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
825 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
826 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
827 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
828 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
829 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
830 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
834 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
835 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
837 Backward compatibility fixes:
839 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
840 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
844 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
845 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
847 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
849 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
851 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
852 Backward compatibility fixes:
854 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
855 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
857 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
861 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
862 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
863 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
865 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
867 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
868 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
870 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
874 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
876 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
878 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
880 Backward compatibility fixes:
882 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
884 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
885 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
886 for backward compatibility.
890 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
891 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
895 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
896 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
897 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
899 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
901 Backward compatibility fixes:
903 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
904 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
908 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
911 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
912 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
913 example) Coro is loaded.
915 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
916 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
918 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
919 using MooseX::Deamonize
921 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
922 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
923 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
924 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
925 deployed in these environments.
929 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
933 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
934 file for your application.
936 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
940 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
941 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
943 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
946 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
947 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
949 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
951 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
952 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
954 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
955 IO::Handle's behaviour.
957 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
958 was not breaking out correctly
960 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
961 to also work in the $c->component method.
963 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
964 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
965 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
967 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
969 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
971 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
973 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
974 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
977 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
979 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
982 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
986 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
987 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
988 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
990 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
993 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
995 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
996 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
997 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
999 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1002 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1003 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1004 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1005 the new major version of Catalyst.
1008 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1009 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1011 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1014 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1015 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1016 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1018 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1020 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1021 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1022 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1024 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1025 in Catalyst::execute
1027 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1028 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1029 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1031 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1032 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1036 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1037 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1039 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1040 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1041 developers without changing their application code.
1043 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1046 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1047 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1048 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1049 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1050 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1052 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1053 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1055 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1057 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1061 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1062 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1063 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1064 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1065 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1066 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1067 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1069 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1070 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1071 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1072 class, please tell us *now*.
1074 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1077 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1079 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1080 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1081 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1082 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1083 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1084 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1087 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1088 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1089 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1090 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1091 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1092 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1093 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1094 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1096 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1097 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1098 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1099 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1100 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1101 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1102 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1103 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1106 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1107 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1109 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1112 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1113 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1117 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1118 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1120 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1123 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1125 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1126 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1128 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1130 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1133 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1135 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1138 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1139 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1140 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1142 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1145 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1147 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1148 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1149 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1150 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1151 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1153 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1156 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1157 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1158 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1161 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1162 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1167 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1170 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1173 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1174 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1175 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1176 the default action creation.
1179 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1180 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1181 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1182 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1183 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1184 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1185 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1188 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1190 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1192 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1194 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1197 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1198 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1199 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1200 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1201 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1204 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1205 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1208 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1209 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1210 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1211 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1213 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1216 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1217 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1218 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1219 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1220 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1221 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1222 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1223 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1226 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1227 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1228 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1230 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1231 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1232 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1233 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1236 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1237 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1240 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1241 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1244 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1247 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1248 the content type and content length if available.
1250 Refactoring / optimizations:
1251 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1252 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1253 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1254 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1255 screen as easy to write.
1256 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1257 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1258 in parameter filtering (for example).
1259 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1260 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1261 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1262 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1263 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1266 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1267 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1268 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1269 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1271 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1274 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1275 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1277 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1280 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1281 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1283 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1286 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1287 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1288 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1289 which should not be encoded.
1290 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1291 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1293 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1294 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1295 any set of args/captures.
1297 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1298 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1300 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1304 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1306 - Various minor typo fixes.
1309 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1311 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1314 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1315 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1316 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1319 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1320 - Clarify documentation about debug
1323 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1324 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1325 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1327 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1330 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1331 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1335 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1336 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1338 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1339 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1340 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1341 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1342 argv key in the options hash.
1343 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1344 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1345 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1346 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1348 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1352 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1353 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1354 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1355 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1356 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1358 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1362 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1363 encoding test controller.
1365 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1367 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1368 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1369 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1370 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1372 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1373 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1374 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1375 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1376 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1378 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1382 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1383 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1384 less packed with information of no use.
1388 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1390 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1392 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1393 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1394 the single character '0'.
1395 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1398 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1399 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1400 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1402 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1404 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1405 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1406 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1407 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1408 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1409 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1410 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1411 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1412 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1413 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1414 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1415 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1417 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1418 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1420 Refactoring / cleanups:
1421 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1422 (and then skipped) normally.
1425 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1427 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1430 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1431 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1432 on the old behaviour.
1434 Refactoring / cleanups:
1435 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1436 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1438 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1441 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1442 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1443 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1444 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1445 as there is no recommended alternative.
1446 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1447 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1448 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1449 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1450 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1451 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1452 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1453 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1454 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1455 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1456 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1457 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1458 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1459 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1462 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1463 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1464 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1465 deprecated and causes warnings).
1466 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1467 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1468 in the correct order.
1469 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1471 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1472 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1473 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1476 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1477 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1478 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1479 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1480 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1482 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1483 exception classes need to implement.
1484 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1485 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1488 Refactoring / cleanups:
1489 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1490 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1491 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1492 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1493 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1494 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1495 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1497 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1500 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1501 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1502 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1503 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1505 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1506 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1507 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1510 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1511 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1514 Refactoring / cleanups:
1515 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1516 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1517 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1518 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1519 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1521 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1524 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1525 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1526 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1527 now loaded at most once + tests.
1528 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1529 is returned to 'actions'.
1530 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1531 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1533 Refactoring / cleanups:
1534 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1535 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1538 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1539 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1540 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1542 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1545 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1546 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1549 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1552 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1553 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1554 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1556 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1559 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1560 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1561 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1563 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1566 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1567 application class immutable without that option.
1568 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1569 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1571 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1572 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1573 (hopefully) future versions.
1574 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1575 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1576 variables (RT#48555)
1577 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1579 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1580 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1581 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1582 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1583 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1585 Refactoring / cleanups:
1586 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1587 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1588 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1589 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1590 known issues with 5.8.3.
1591 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1592 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1595 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1596 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1597 for the controller namespace
1598 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1599 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1600 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1601 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1602 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1603 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1605 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1606 frontend port (jshirley)
1607 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1611 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1612 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1613 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1614 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1617 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1620 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1621 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1622 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1624 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1625 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1626 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1627 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1628 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1629 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1633 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1634 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1635 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1638 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1641 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1642 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1644 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1645 in some environments.
1646 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1647 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1648 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1649 except works correctly with closures.
1650 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1651 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1652 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1653 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1654 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1655 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1656 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1659 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1660 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1661 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1662 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1663 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1664 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1666 Refactoring / cleanups:
1667 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1668 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1669 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1670 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1672 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1673 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1674 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1676 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1677 again in Catalyst::Test
1679 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1682 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1683 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1686 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1689 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1690 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1691 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1693 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1696 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1697 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1700 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1701 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1705 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1706 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1707 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1708 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1709 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1711 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1712 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1713 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1714 controller naming. (random)
1715 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1716 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1717 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1718 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1719 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1721 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1731 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1732 to report 'Unknown Error'
1733 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1734 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

1768 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1769 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1772 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1773 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1774 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1806 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1808 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1809 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1810 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1811 tries to chain to itself
1813 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1814 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1815 - Tests for this (radek)
1816 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1817 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1818 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1819 - Tests for this (radek)

1830 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1831 in production versions
1832 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1833 the correct metaclass
1834 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1835 the restarter process
1836 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1837 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1839 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1840 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1841 immutable restart correctly.
1843 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1844 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1860 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1861 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1862 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1863 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1865 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1866 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1905 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1906 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1926 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1928 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1929 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1954 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1955 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1956 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2127 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
2128 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
