1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
5 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
6 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
8 Backward compatibility fixes:
10 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
11 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
15 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
16 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
18 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
19 Backward compatibility fixes:
21 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
22 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
24 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
28 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
29 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
30 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
32 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
34 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
35 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
37 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
41 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
43 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
45 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
47 Backward compatibility fixes:
49 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
51 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
52 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
53 for backward compatibility.
57 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
58 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
62 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
63 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
64 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
66 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
68 Backward compatibility fixes:
70 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
71 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
75 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
78 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
79 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
80 example) Coro is loaded.
82 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
83 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
85 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
86 using MooseX::Deamonize
88 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
89 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
90 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
91 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
92 deployed in these environments.
96 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
100 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
101 file for your application.
103 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
107 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
108 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
110 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
113 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
114 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
116 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
118 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
119 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
121 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
122 IO::Handle's behaviour.
124 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
125 was not breaking out correctly
127 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
128 to also work in the $c->component method.
130 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
131 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
132 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
134 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
136 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
138 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
140 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
141 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
144 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
146 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
149 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
153 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
154 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
155 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
157 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
160 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
162 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
163 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
164 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
166 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
169 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
170 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
171 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
172 the new major version of Catalyst.
175 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
176 of Catalyst has been much improved.
178 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
181 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
182 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
183 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
185 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
187 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
188 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
189 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
191 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
194 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
195 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
196 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
198 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
199 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
203 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
204 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
206 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
207 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
208 developers without changing their application code.
210 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
213 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
214 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
215 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
216 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
217 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
219 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
220 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
222 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
224 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
228 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
229 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
230 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
231 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
232 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
233 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
234 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
236 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
237 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
238 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
239 class, please tell us *now*.
241 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
244 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
246 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
247 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
248 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
249 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
250 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
251 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
254 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
255 the Content-Length header appropriately)
256 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
257 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
258 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
259 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
260 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
261 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
263 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
264 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
265 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
266 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
267 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
268 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
269 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
270 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
273 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
274 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
276 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
279 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
280 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
284 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
285 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
287 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
290 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
292 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
293 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
295 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
297 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
300 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
302 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
305 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
306 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
307 load Utils before MyApp.pm
309 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
312 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
314 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
315 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
316 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
317 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
318 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
320 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
323 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
324 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
325 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
328 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
329 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
334 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
337 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
340 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
341 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
342 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
343 the default action creation.
346 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
347 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
348 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
349 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
350 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
351 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
352 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
355 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
357 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
359 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
361 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
364 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
365 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
366 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
367 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
368 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
371 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
372 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
375 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
376 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
377 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
378 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
380 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
383 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
384 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
385 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
386 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
387 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
388 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
389 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
390 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
393 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
394 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
395 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
397 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
398 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
399 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
400 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
403 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
404 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
407 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
408 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
411 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
414 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
415 the content type and content length if available.
417 Refactoring / optimizations:
418 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
419 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
420 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
421 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
422 screen as easy to write.
423 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
424 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
425 in parameter filtering (for example).
426 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
427 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
428 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
429 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
430 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
433 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
434 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
435 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
436 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
438 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
441 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
442 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
444 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
447 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
448 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
450 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
453 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
454 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
455 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
456 which should not be encoded.
457 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
458 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
460 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
461 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
462 any set of args/captures.
464 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
465 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
467 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
471 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
473 - Various minor typo fixes.
476 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
478 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
481 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
482 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
483 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
486 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
487 - Clarify documentation about debug
490 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
491 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
492 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
494 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
497 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
498 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
502 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
503 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
505 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
506 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
507 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
508 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
509 argv key in the options hash.
510 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
511 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
512 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
513 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
515 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
519 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
520 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
521 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
522 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
523 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
525 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
529 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
530 encoding test controller.
532 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
534 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
535 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
536 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
537 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
539 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
540 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
541 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
542 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
543 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
545 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
549 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
550 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
551 less packed with information of no use.
555 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
557 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
559 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
560 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
561 the single character '0'.
562 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
565 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
566 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
567 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
569 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
571 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
572 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
573 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
574 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
575 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
576 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
577 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
578 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
579 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
580 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
581 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
582 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
584 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
585 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
587 Refactoring / cleanups:
588 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
589 (and then skipped) normally.
592 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
594 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
597 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
598 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
599 on the old behaviour.
601 Refactoring / cleanups:
602 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
603 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
605 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
608 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
609 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
610 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
611 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
612 as there is no recommended alternative.
613 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
614 fallback for fully qualified component names.
615 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
616 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
617 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
618 startup, rather than with the first hit.
619 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
620 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
621 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
622 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
623 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
624 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
625 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
626 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
629 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
630 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
631 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
632 deprecated and causes warnings).
633 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
634 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
635 in the correct order.
636 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
638 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
639 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
640 is deprecated (RT#51489)
643 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
644 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
645 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
646 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
647 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
649 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
650 exception classes need to implement.
651 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
652 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
655 Refactoring / cleanups:
656 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
657 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
658 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
659 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
660 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
661 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
662 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
664 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
667 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
668 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
669 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
670 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
672 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
673 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
674 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
677 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
678 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
681 Refactoring / cleanups:
682 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
683 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
684 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
685 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
686 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
688 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
691 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
692 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
693 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
694 now loaded at most once + tests.
695 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
696 is returned to 'actions'.
697 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
698 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
700 Refactoring / cleanups:
701 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
702 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
705 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
706 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
707 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
709 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
712 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
713 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
716 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
719 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
720 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
721 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
723 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
726 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
727 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
728 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
730 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
733 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
734 application class immutable without that option.
735 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
736 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
738 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
739 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
740 (hopefully) future versions.
741 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
742 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
744 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
746 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
747 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
748 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
749 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
750 Request-URI of the Request-Line
752 Refactoring / cleanups:
753 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
754 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
755 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
756 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
757 known issues with 5.8.3.
758 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
759 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
762 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
763 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
764 for the controller namespace
765 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
766 expand_component_module (rjbs)
767 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
768 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
769 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
770 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
772 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
773 frontend port (jshirley)
774 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
778 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
779 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
780 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
781 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
784 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
787 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
788 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
789 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
791 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
792 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
793 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
794 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
795 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
796 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
800 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
801 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
802 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
805 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
808 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
809 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
811 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
812 in some environments.
813 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
814 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
815 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
816 except works correctly with closures.
817 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
818 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
819 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
821 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
822 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
823 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
826 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
827 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
828 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
829 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
830 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
831 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
833 Refactoring / cleanups:
834 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
835 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
836 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
837 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
839 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
840 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
841 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
843 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
844 again in Catalyst::Test
846 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
849 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
850 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
853 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
856 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
857 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
858 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
860 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
863 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
864 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
867 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
868 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
872 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
873 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
874 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
875 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
876 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
878 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
879 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
880 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
881 controller naming. (random)
882 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
883 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
884 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
885 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
886 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
888 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
890 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when

892 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
894 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
895 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
896 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
897 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
898 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
899 to report 'Unknown Error'
900 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
901 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
902 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
903 parse_on_demand is on
905 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
906 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
907 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.

916 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
917 Test::Aggregate is available.
918 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
919 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
920 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

931 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
932 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
933 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
934 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
935 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
936 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
938 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
939 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
940 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
941 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
942 configuration in your application.
944 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
945 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
946 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

956 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
958 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
960 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying

970 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
972 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
973 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
975 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
976 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
977 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
978 tries to chain to itself
980 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
981 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
982 - Tests for this (radek)
983 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
984 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
985 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly

1000 the correct metaclass
1001 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1002 the restarter process
1003 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1004 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1006 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1007 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1008 immutable restart correctly.
1010 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1011 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1012 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1013 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1024 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1025 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1026 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1027 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1028 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1029 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1030 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1032 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1033 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1034 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1037 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1038 - Add uri_with tests

1072 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1073 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1084 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1085 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1086 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1087 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1088 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1089 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1090 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance

1093 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1095 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1096 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1099 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1100 test sync for engines easier
1101 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1102 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1104 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1105 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1106 rather than the stringified ref.
1107 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

1250 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1251 method with a regex as the argument
