1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
9 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
10 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
11 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
12 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
13 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar.. RT#50082
14 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
17 Refactoring / cleanups:
18 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
19 (and then skipped) normally.
22 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
24 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
27 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
28 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
31 Refactoring / cleanups:
32 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
33 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
35 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
38 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
39 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
40 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
41 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
42 as there is no recommended alternative.
43 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
44 fallback for fully qualified component names.
45 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
46 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
47 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
48 startup, rather than with the first hit.
49 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
50 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
51 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
52 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
53 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
54 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
55 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
56 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
59 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
60 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
61 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
62 deprecated and causes warnings).
63 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
64 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
66 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
68 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
69 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
70 is deprecated (RT#51489)
73 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
74 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
75 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
76 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
77 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
79 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
80 exception classes need to implement.
81 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
82 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
85 Refactoring / cleanups:
86 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
87 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
88 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
89 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
90 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
91 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
92 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
94 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
97 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
98 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
99 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
100 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
102 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
103 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
104 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
107 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
108 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
111 Refactoring / cleanups:
112 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
113 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
114 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
115 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
116 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
118 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
121 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
122 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
123 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
124 now loaded at most once + tests.
125 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
126 is returned to 'actions'.
127 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
128 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
130 Refactoring / cleanups:
131 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
132 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
135 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
136 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
137 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
139 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
142 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
143 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
146 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
149 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
150 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
151 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
153 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
156 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
157 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
158 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
160 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
163 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
164 application class immutable without that option.
165 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
166 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
168 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
169 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
170 (hopefully) future versions.
171 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
172 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
174 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
176 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
177 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
178 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
179 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
180 Request-URI of the Request-Line
182 Refactoring / cleanups:
183 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
184 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
185 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
186 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
187 known issues with 5.8.3.
188 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
189 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
192 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
193 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
194 for the controller namespace
195 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
196 expand_component_module (rjbs)
197 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
198 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
199 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
200 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
202 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
203 frontend port (jshirley)
204 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
208 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
209 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
210 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
211 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
214 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
217 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
218 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
219 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
221 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
222 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
223 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
224 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
225 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
226 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
230 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
231 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
232 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
235 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
238 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
239 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
241 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
242 in some environments.
243 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
244 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
245 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
246 except works correctly with closures.
247 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
248 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
249 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
251 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
252 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
253 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
256 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
257 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
258 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
259 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
260 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
261 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
263 Refactoring / cleanups:
264 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
265 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
266 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
267 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
269 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
270 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
271 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
273 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
274 again in Catalyst::Test
276 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
279 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
280 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
283 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
286 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
287 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
288 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
290 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
293 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
294 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
297 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
298 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
302 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
303 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
304 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
305 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
306 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
308 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
309 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
310 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application

313 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
314 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
315 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
316 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.

320 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
321 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
322 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
324 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
325 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
326 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
327 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
328 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
329 to report 'Unknown Error'
330 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
331 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
332 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
333 parse_on_demand is on

342 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
343 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
345 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
346 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
347 Test::Aggregate is available.
348 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
349 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
350 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

360 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
361 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
362 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
363 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
364 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
365 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
366 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
368 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
369 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
370 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
371 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
372 configuration in your application.
374 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
375 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
376 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
378 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
379 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

384 the request parameters with undef + test
385 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
386 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
388 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
390 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
391 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
392 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
394 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
395 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
396 warning on recent Moose versions.
397 - Add delta documentation
398 - Clean up recursion errors
399 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
400 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
402 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
403 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
405 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
406 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
407 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
408 tries to chain to itself
410 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
411 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
412 - Tests for this (radek)
413 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
414 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
415 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
416 - Tests for this (radek)
417 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
418 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
419 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
420 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
422 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
423 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
425 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
427 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
428 in production versions
429 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
430 the correct metaclass
431 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
432 the restarter process
433 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
434 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
436 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
437 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
438 immutable restart correctly.
440 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
441 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
442 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
443 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

454 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
455 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
456 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
457 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
458 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
459 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
460 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
462 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
463 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
464 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
467 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

497 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
498 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
499 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
501 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
502 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
503 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
504 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

512 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
513 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
515 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
516 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
517 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
518 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
519 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
520 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
522 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
523 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
525 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
526 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
527 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
529 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
530 test sync for engines easier
531 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
532 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
534 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
535 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
536 rather than the stringified ref.
537 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
538 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
539 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

548 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
549 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
550 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
551 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
552 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
553 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
554 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
555 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
556 the key from the instance hash
557 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
558 trivial delegation methods
559 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
560 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
561 Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
562 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
563 Catalyst::Request: _path
564 Catalyst::Stats: tree
565 - Fix issues in Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI
