4 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
5 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
6 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
7 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
9 - TODO: body_data should slurp classic formdata
10 - TODO: remove non public Plack::Request $env keys added in previous release
12 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
13 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
14 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
15 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
16 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
17 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
18 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
19 those keys already exist). Keys added:
22 - plack.request.merged
23 - plack.request.http.body
24 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
25 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
26 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
27 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
28 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
29 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
30 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
31 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
32 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
33 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
34 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
35 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
36 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
37 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
38 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
39 is a scalar or arrayref.
40 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
41 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
43 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
44 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
45 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
47 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
48 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
49 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
50 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
51 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
52 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
53 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
54 a development setup (ether++)
56 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
57 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
58 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
59 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
60 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
61 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
62 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
65 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
66 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
67 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
68 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
69 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
72 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
73 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
74 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
75 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
77 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
79 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
83 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
84 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
85 this fixes all of them.
86 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
87 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
88 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
89 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
91 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
94 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
95 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
96 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
97 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
98 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
99 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
100 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
102 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
103 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
104 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
105 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
106 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
107 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
109 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
110 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
111 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
112 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
113 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
114 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
115 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
116 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
118 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
121 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
122 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
123 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
124 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
125 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
126 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
128 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
129 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
130 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
131 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
132 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
133 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
136 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
137 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
138 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
139 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
140 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
141 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
142 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
143 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
144 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
145 in behavior is compatible on its own.
146 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
147 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
148 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
149 - Some test and documentation improvements
151 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
152 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
153 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
154 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
157 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
158 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
161 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
162 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
164 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
165 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
167 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
169 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
170 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
172 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
174 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
175 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
176 of request or response classes.
178 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
179 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
180 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
181 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
182 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
183 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
184 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
185 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
186 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
187 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
189 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
190 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
191 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
192 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
193 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
195 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
197 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
198 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
200 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
202 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
203 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
204 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
207 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
210 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
213 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
214 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
216 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
219 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
222 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
224 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
226 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
228 Distribution META.yml changes:
229 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
230 mis-parses from the documentation.
231 - x_authority key added.
234 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
235 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
237 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
238 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
239 is less than helpful.
241 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
242 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
243 in bleadperl. RT#76437
245 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
246 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
249 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
250 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
252 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
253 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
254 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
256 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
259 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
260 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
261 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
262 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
263 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
264 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
266 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
268 - --background option for the server script now only closes
269 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
270 and other loggers which open a file handle when
271 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
272 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
273 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
276 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
279 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
280 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
281 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
282 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
284 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
287 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
290 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
291 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
292 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
293 included when not running from a checkout.
295 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
297 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
298 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
299 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
301 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
303 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
305 New features and refactoring:
306 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
307 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
308 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
310 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
311 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
312 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
315 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
316 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
317 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
319 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
321 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
322 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
323 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
324 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
325 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
326 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
328 Back compatibility fixes:
329 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
330 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
331 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
334 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
337 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
338 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
339 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
341 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
342 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
343 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
345 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
348 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
349 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
350 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
351 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
352 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
355 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
356 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
358 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
359 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
360 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
362 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
365 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
366 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
367 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
368 get them passed through to the application.
371 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
372 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
373 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
374 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
377 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
378 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
379 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
380 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
382 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
383 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
384 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
386 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
387 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
389 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
393 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
394 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
395 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
396 whereas before you had to say:
397 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
398 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
399 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
402 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
403 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
404 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
405 scripts in the application.
406 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
407 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
408 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
413 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
415 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
416 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
417 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
418 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
419 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
420 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
421 and provide an alternative.
423 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
427 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
430 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
433 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
435 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
436 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
437 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
438 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
439 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
440 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
444 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
445 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
447 Backward compatibility fixes:
449 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
450 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
454 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
455 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
457 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
459 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
461 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
462 Backward compatibility fixes:
464 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
465 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
467 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
471 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
472 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
473 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
475 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
477 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
478 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
480 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
484 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
486 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
488 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
490 Backward compatibility fixes:
492 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
494 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
495 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
496 for backward compatibility.
500 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
501 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
505 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
506 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
507 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
509 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
511 Backward compatibility fixes:
513 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
514 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
518 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
521 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
522 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
523 example) Coro is loaded.
525 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
526 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
528 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
529 using MooseX::Deamonize
531 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
532 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
533 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
534 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
535 deployed in these environments.
539 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
543 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
544 file for your application.
546 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
550 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
551 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
553 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
556 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
557 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
559 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
561 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
562 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
564 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
565 IO::Handle's behaviour.
567 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
568 was not breaking out correctly
570 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
571 to also work in the $c->component method.
573 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
574 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
575 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
577 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
579 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
581 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
583 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
584 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
587 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
589 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
592 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
596 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
597 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
598 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
600 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
603 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
605 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
606 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
607 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
609 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
612 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
613 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
614 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
615 the new major version of Catalyst.
618 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
619 of Catalyst has been much improved.
621 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
624 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
625 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
626 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
628 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
630 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
631 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
632 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
634 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
637 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
638 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
639 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
641 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
642 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
646 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
647 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
649 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
650 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
651 developers without changing their application code.
653 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
656 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
657 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
658 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
659 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
660 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
662 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
663 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
665 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
667 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
671 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
672 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
673 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
674 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
675 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
676 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
677 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
679 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
680 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
681 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
682 class, please tell us *now*.
684 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
687 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
689 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
690 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
691 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
692 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
693 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
694 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
697 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
698 the Content-Length header appropriately)
699 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
700 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
701 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
702 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
703 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
704 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
706 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
707 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
708 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
709 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
710 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
711 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
712 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
713 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
716 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
717 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
719 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
722 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
723 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
727 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
728 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
730 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
733 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
735 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
736 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
738 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
740 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
743 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
745 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
748 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
749 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
750 load Utils before MyApp.pm
752 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
755 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
757 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
758 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
759 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
760 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
761 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
763 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
766 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
767 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
768 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
771 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
772 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
777 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
780 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
783 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
784 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
785 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
786 the default action creation.
789 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
790 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
791 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
792 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
793 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
794 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
795 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
798 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
800 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
802 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
804 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
807 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
808 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
809 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
810 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
811 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
814 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
815 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
818 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
819 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
820 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
821 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
823 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
826 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
827 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
828 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
829 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
830 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
831 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
832 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
833 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
836 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
837 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
838 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
840 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
841 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
842 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
843 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
846 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
847 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
850 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
851 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
854 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
857 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
858 the content type and content length if available.
860 Refactoring / optimizations:
861 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
862 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
863 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
864 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
865 screen as easy to write.
866 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
867 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
868 in parameter filtering (for example).
869 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
870 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
871 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
872 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
873 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
876 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
877 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
878 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
879 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
881 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
884 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
885 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
887 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
890 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
891 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
893 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
896 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
897 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
898 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
899 which should not be encoded.
900 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
901 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
903 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
904 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
905 any set of args/captures.
907 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
908 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
910 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
914 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
916 - Various minor typo fixes.
919 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
921 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
924 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
925 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
926 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
929 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
930 - Clarify documentation about debug
933 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
934 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
935 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
937 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
940 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
941 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
945 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
946 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
948 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
949 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
950 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
951 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
952 argv key in the options hash.
953 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
954 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
955 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
956 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
958 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
962 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
963 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
964 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
965 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
966 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
968 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
972 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
973 encoding test controller.
975 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
977 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
978 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
979 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
980 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
982 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
983 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
984 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
985 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
986 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
988 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
992 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
993 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
994 less packed with information of no use.
998 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1000 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1002 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1003 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1004 the single character '0'.
1005 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1008 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1009 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1010 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1012 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1014 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1015 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1016 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1017 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1018 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1019 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1020 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1021 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1022 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1023 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1024 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1025 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1027 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1028 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1030 Refactoring / cleanups:
1031 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1032 (and then skipped) normally.
1035 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1037 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1040 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1041 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1042 on the old behaviour.
1044 Refactoring / cleanups:
1045 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1046 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1048 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1051 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1052 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1053 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1054 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1055 as there is no recommended alternative.
1056 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1057 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1058 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1059 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1060 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1061 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1062 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1063 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1064 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1065 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1066 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1067 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1068 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1069 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1072 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1073 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1074 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1075 deprecated and causes warnings).
1076 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1077 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1078 in the correct order.
1079 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1081 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1082 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1083 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1086 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1087 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1088 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1089 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1090 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1092 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1093 exception classes need to implement.
1094 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1095 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1098 Refactoring / cleanups:
1099 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1100 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1101 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1102 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1103 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1104 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1105 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1107 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1110 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1111 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1112 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1113 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1115 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1116 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1117 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1120 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1121 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1124 Refactoring / cleanups:
1125 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1126 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1127 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1128 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1129 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1131 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1134 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1135 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1136 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1137 now loaded at most once + tests.
1138 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1139 is returned to 'actions'.
1140 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1141 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1143 Refactoring / cleanups:
1144 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1145 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1148 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1149 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1150 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1152 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1155 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1156 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1159 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1162 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1163 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1164 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1166 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1169 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1170 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1171 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1173 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1176 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1177 application class immutable without that option.
1178 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1179 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1181 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1182 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1183 (hopefully) future versions.
1184 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1185 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1186 variables (RT#48555)
1187 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1189 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1190 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1191 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1192 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1193 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1195 Refactoring / cleanups:
1196 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1197 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1198 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1199 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1200 known issues with 5.8.3.
1201 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1202 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1205 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1206 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1207 for the controller namespace
1208 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1209 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1210 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1211 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1212 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1213 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1215 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1216 frontend port (jshirley)
1217 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1221 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1222 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.

1232 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1234 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1235 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1236 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1237 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1238 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1239 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1243 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1244 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1245 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1248 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1251 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1252 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1254 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1255 in some environments.
1256 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1257 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1258 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1259 except works correctly with closures.

1261 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1262 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1263 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1264 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1265 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1266 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1269 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1270 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1271 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1272 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1273 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1274 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1276 Refactoring / cleanups:
1277 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1278 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1279 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1280 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1282 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1283 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1284 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1286 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1287 again in Catalyst::Test
1289 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1300 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1301 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1303 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1306 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1307 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1310 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1311 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1315 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1316 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1317 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1318 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1319 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1321 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1322 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1323 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1324 controller naming. (random)

1335 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1337 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1338 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1339 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1340 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1341 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1342 to report 'Unknown Error'
1343 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1344 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1345 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1346 parse_on_demand is on
1348 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1349 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1350 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1351 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1352 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1355 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1356 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1359 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1360 Test::Aggregate is available.
1361 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1362 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1363 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1364 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1365 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1378 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1379 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1382 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1383 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1384 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1385 configuration in your application.
1387 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1388 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1416 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1418 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1419 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1420 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1421 tries to chain to itself
1423 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1424 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1425 - Tests for this (radek)
1426 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1427 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1428 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1429 - Tests for this (radek)

1440 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1441 in production versions
1442 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1443 the correct metaclass
1444 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1445 the restarter process
1446 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1447 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1449 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1450 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1451 immutable restart correctly.
1453 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1454 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1466 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1467 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1468 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1470 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1471 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1472 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1473 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1475 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1476 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1509 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1510 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1511 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1512 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1514 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1515 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1516 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1524 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1525 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1526 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1527 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1528 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1529 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1530 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1531 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1532 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1533 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1535 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1536 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1538 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1539 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1540 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1542 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1543 test sync for engines easier
1544 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1545 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1554 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1556 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1557 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1558 die, as it didn't in 5.70

1561 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1562 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1563 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1564 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1565 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1566 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1568 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1569 the key from the instance hash
1570 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace

1686 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1687 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1688 throw warnings for two reasons:
1689 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1690 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1692 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1693 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1694 method with a regex as the argument
1695 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)
