4 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
5 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
6 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
7 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
8 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
9 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
12 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
15 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
16 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
17 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
18 the default action creation.
21 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
22 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
23 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
24 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
25 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
26 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
27 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
30 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
32 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
34 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
36 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
39 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
40 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
41 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
42 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
43 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
46 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
47 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
50 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
51 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
52 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
55 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
58 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
59 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
60 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
61 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
62 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
63 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
64 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
65 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
68 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
69 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
70 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
72 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
73 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
74 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
75 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
78 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
79 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
82 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
83 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
86 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
89 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
90 the content type and content length if available.
92 Refactoring / optimizations:
93 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
94 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
95 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
96 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
97 screen as easy to write.
98 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
99 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
100 in parameter filtering (for example).
101 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
102 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
103 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
104 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
105 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
108 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
109 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
110 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
111 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
113 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
116 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
117 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
119 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
122 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
123 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
125 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
128 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
129 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
130 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
131 which should not be encoded.
132 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
133 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
135 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
136 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
137 any set of args/captures.
139 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
140 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
142 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
146 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
148 - Various minor typo fixes.
151 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
153 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
156 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
157 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
158 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
161 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
162 - Clarify documentation about debug
165 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
166 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
167 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
169 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
172 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
173 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
177 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
178 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
180 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
181 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
182 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
183 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
184 argv key in the options hash.
185 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
186 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
187 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
188 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
190 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
194 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
195 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
196 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
197 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
198 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
200 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
204 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
205 encoding test controller.
207 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
209 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
210 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
211 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
212 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
214 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
215 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
216 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
217 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
218 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
220 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
224 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
225 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
226 less packed with information of no use.
230 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
232 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
234 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
235 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
236 the single character '0'.
237 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
240 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
241 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
242 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
244 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
246 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
247 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
248 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
249 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
250 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
251 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
252 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
253 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
254 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
255 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
256 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
257 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
259 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
260 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
262 Refactoring / cleanups:
263 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
264 (and then skipped) normally.
267 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
269 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
272 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
273 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
274 on the old behaviour.
276 Refactoring / cleanups:
277 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
278 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
280 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
283 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
284 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
285 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
286 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
287 as there is no recommended alternative.
288 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
289 fallback for fully qualified component names.
290 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
291 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
292 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
293 startup, rather than with the first hit.
294 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
295 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
296 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
297 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
298 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
299 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
300 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
301 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
304 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
305 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
306 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
307 deprecated and causes warnings).
308 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
309 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
310 in the correct order.
311 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
313 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
314 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
315 is deprecated (RT#51489)
318 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
319 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
320 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
321 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
322 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
324 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
325 exception classes need to implement.
326 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
327 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
330 Refactoring / cleanups:
331 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
332 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
333 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
334 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
335 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
336 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
337 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
339 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
342 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
343 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
344 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
345 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
347 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
348 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
349 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
352 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
353 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
356 Refactoring / cleanups:
357 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
358 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
359 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
360 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
361 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
363 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
366 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
367 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
368 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
369 now loaded at most once + tests.
370 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
371 is returned to 'actions'.
372 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
373 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
375 Refactoring / cleanups:
376 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
377 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
380 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
381 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
382 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
384 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
387 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
388 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
391 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
394 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
395 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
396 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
398 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
401 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
402 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
403 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
405 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
408 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
409 application class immutable without that option.
410 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
411 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
413 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
414 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
415 (hopefully) future versions.
416 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
417 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
419 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
421 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
422 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
423 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
424 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
425 Request-URI of the Request-Line
427 Refactoring / cleanups:
428 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
429 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
430 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
431 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
432 known issues with 5.8.3.
433 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
434 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
437 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
438 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
439 for the controller namespace
440 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
441 expand_component_module (rjbs)
442 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
443 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
444 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
445 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
447 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
448 frontend port (jshirley)
449 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
453 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
454 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
455 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
456 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
459 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
462 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
463 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
464 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
466 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
467 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
468 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
469 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
470 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
471 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
475 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
476 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
477 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
480 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
483 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
484 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
486 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
487 in some environments.
488 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
489 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
490 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
491 except works correctly with closures.
492 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
493 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
494 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
496 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
497 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
498 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
501 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
502 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
503 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
504 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
505 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
506 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
508 Refactoring / cleanups:
509 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
510 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
511 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
512 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
514 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
515 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
516 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
518 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
519 again in Catalyst::Test
521 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
524 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
525 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
528 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
531 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
532 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
533 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
535 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
538 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
539 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
542 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
543 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
547 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
548 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
549 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
550 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
551 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
553 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
554 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
555 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
556 controller naming. (random)
557 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
558 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
559 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
560 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
561 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
563 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
565 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
566 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
567 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
569 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
570 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
571 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
572 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
573 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
574 to report 'Unknown Error'
575 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
576 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
577 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
578 parse_on_demand is on
580 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
581 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
582 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
583 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
584 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
585 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
586 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
587 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
588 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
590 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
591 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
592 Test::Aggregate is available.
593 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
594 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
595 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
596 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /

610 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
611 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
613 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
614 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables

651 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
652 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
653 tries to chain to itself
655 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
656 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
657 - Tests for this (radek)

677 the restarter process
678 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
679 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
681 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
682 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
683 immutable restart correctly.

701 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
702 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
703 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
704 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
705 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
707 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
708 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
709 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
712 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

747 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
748 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
