4 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
5 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
6 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
8 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
9 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
10 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
12 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
13 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
14 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
15 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
16 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
17 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
18 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
19 a development setup (ether++)
21 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
22 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
23 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
24 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
25 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
26 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
27 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
30 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
31 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
32 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
33 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
34 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
37 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
38 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
39 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
40 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
42 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
44 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
48 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
49 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
50 this fixes all of them.
51 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
52 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
53 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
54 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
56 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
59 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
60 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
61 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
62 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
63 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
64 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
65 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
67 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
68 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
69 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
70 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
71 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
72 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
74 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
75 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
76 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
77 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
78 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
79 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
80 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
81 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
83 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
86 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
87 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
88 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
89 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
90 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
91 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
93 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
94 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
95 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
96 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
97 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
98 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
101 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
102 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
103 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
104 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
105 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
106 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
107 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
108 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
109 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
110 in behavior is compatible on its own.
111 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
112 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
113 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
114 - Some test and documentation improvements
116 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
117 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
118 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
119 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
122 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
123 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
126 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
127 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
129 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
130 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
132 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
134 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
135 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
137 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
139 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
140 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
141 of request or response classes.
143 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
144 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
145 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
146 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
147 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
148 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
149 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
150 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
151 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
152 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
154 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
155 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
156 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
157 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
158 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
160 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
162 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
163 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
165 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
167 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
168 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
169 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
172 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
175 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
178 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
179 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
181 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
184 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
187 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
189 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
191 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
193 Distribution META.yml changes:
194 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
195 mis-parses from the documentation.
196 - x_authority key added.
199 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
200 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
202 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
203 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
204 is less than helpful.
206 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
207 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
208 in bleadperl. RT#76437
210 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
211 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
214 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
215 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
217 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
218 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
219 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
221 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
224 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
225 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
226 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
227 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
228 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
229 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
231 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
233 - --background option for the server script now only closes
234 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
235 and other loggers which open a file handle when
236 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
237 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
238 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
241 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
244 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
245 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
246 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
247 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
249 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
252 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
255 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
256 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
257 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
258 included when not running from a checkout.
260 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
262 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
263 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
264 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
266 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
268 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
270 New features and refactoring:
271 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
272 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
273 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
275 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
276 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
277 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
280 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
281 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
282 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
284 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
286 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
287 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
288 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
289 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
290 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
291 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
293 Back compatibility fixes:
294 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
295 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
296 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
299 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
302 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
303 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
304 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
306 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
307 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
308 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
310 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
313 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
314 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
315 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
316 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
317 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
320 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
321 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
323 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
324 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
325 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
327 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
330 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
331 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
332 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
333 get them passed through to the application.
336 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
337 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
338 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
339 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
342 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
343 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
344 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
345 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
347 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
348 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
349 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
351 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
352 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
354 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
358 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
359 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
360 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
361 whereas before you had to say:
362 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
363 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
364 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
367 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
368 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
369 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
370 scripts in the application.
371 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
372 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
373 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
378 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
380 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
381 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
382 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
383 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
384 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
385 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
386 and provide an alternative.
388 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
392 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
395 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
398 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
400 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
401 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
402 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
403 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
404 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
405 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
409 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
410 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
412 Backward compatibility fixes:
414 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
415 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
419 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
420 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
422 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
424 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
426 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
427 Backward compatibility fixes:
429 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
430 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
432 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
436 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
437 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
438 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
440 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
442 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
443 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
445 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
449 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
451 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
453 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
455 Backward compatibility fixes:
457 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
459 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
460 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
461 for backward compatibility.
465 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
466 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
470 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
471 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
472 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
474 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
476 Backward compatibility fixes:
478 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
479 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
483 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
486 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
487 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
488 example) Coro is loaded.
490 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
491 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
493 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
494 using MooseX::Deamonize
496 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
497 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
498 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
499 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
500 deployed in these environments.
504 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
508 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
509 file for your application.
511 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
515 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
516 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
518 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
521 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
522 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
524 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
526 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
527 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
529 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
530 IO::Handle's behaviour.
532 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
533 was not breaking out correctly
535 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
536 to also work in the $c->component method.
538 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
539 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
540 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
542 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
544 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
546 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
548 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
549 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
552 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
554 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
557 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
561 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
562 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
563 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
565 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
568 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
570 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
571 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
572 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
574 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
577 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
578 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
579 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
580 the new major version of Catalyst.
583 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
584 of Catalyst has been much improved.
586 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
589 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
590 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
591 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
593 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
595 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
596 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
597 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
599 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
602 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
603 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
604 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
606 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
607 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
611 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
612 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
614 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
615 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
616 developers without changing their application code.
618 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
621 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
622 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
623 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
624 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
625 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
627 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
628 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
630 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
632 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
636 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
637 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
638 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
639 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
640 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
641 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
642 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
644 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
645 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
646 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
647 class, please tell us *now*.
649 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
652 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
654 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
655 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
656 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
657 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
658 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
659 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
662 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
663 the Content-Length header appropriately)
664 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
665 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
666 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
667 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
668 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
669 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
671 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
672 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
673 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
674 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
675 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
676 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
677 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
678 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
681 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
682 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
684 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
687 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
688 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
692 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
693 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
695 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
698 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
700 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
701 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
703 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
705 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
708 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
710 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
713 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
714 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
715 load Utils before MyApp.pm
717 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
720 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
722 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
723 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
724 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
725 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
726 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
728 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
731 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
732 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
733 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
736 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
737 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
742 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
745 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
748 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
749 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
750 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
751 the default action creation.
754 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
755 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
756 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
757 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
758 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
759 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
760 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
763 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
765 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
767 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
769 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
772 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
773 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
774 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
775 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
776 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
779 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
780 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
783 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
784 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
785 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
786 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
788 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
791 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
792 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
793 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
794 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
795 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
796 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
797 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
798 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
801 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
802 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
803 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
805 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
806 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
807 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
808 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
811 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
812 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
815 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
816 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
819 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
822 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
823 the content type and content length if available.
825 Refactoring / optimizations:
826 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
827 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
828 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
829 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
830 screen as easy to write.
831 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
832 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
833 in parameter filtering (for example).
834 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
835 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
836 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
837 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
838 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
841 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
842 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
843 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
844 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
846 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
849 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
850 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
852 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
855 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
856 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
858 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
861 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
862 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
863 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
864 which should not be encoded.
865 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
866 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
868 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
869 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
870 any set of args/captures.
872 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
873 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
875 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
879 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
881 - Various minor typo fixes.
884 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
886 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
889 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
890 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
891 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
894 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
895 - Clarify documentation about debug
898 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
899 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
900 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
902 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
905 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
906 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
910 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
911 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
913 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
914 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
915 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
916 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
917 argv key in the options hash.
918 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
919 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
920 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
921 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
923 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
927 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
928 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
929 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
930 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
931 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
933 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
937 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
938 encoding test controller.
940 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
942 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
943 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
945 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
947 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
948 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
949 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
950 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
951 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
953 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
957 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
958 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
959 less packed with information of no use.
963 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
965 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
967 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
968 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
969 the single character '0'.
970 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
973 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
974 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
975 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
977 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
979 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
980 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
981 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
982 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
983 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
984 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
985 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
986 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
987 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
988 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
989 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
990 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
992 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
993 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
995 Refactoring / cleanups:
996 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
997 (and then skipped) normally.
1000 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1002 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1005 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1006 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1007 on the old behaviour.
1009 Refactoring / cleanups:
1010 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1011 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1013 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1016 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1017 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1018 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1019 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1020 as there is no recommended alternative.
1021 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1022 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1023 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1024 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1025 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1026 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1027 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1028 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1029 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1030 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1031 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1032 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1033 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1034 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1037 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1038 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1039 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1040 deprecated and causes warnings).
1041 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1042 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1043 in the correct order.
1044 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1046 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1047 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1048 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1051 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1052 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1053 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1054 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1055 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1057 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1058 exception classes need to implement.
1059 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1060 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1063 Refactoring / cleanups:
1064 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1065 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1066 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1067 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1068 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1069 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1070 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1072 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1075 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1076 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1077 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1078 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1080 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1081 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1082 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1085 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1086 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1089 Refactoring / cleanups:
1090 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1091 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1092 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1093 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1094 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1096 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1099 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1100 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1101 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1102 now loaded at most once + tests.
1103 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1104 is returned to 'actions'.
1105 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1106 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1108 Refactoring / cleanups:
1109 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1110 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1113 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1114 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1115 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1117 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1120 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1121 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1124 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1127 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1128 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1129 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1131 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1134 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1135 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1136 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1138 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1141 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1142 application class immutable without that option.
1143 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1144 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1146 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1147 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1148 (hopefully) future versions.
1149 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1150 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1151 variables (RT#48555)
1152 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1154 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1155 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1156 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1157 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1158 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1160 Refactoring / cleanups:
1161 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1162 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1163 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1164 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1165 known issues with 5.8.3.
1166 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1167 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1170 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1171 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1172 for the controller namespace
1173 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1174 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1175 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1176 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1177 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1178 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1180 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1181 frontend port (jshirley)
1182 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1186 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1187 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1188 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1189 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1192 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1195 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1196 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1197 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1199 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1200 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1201 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1202 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1203 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1204 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1208 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1209 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1210 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1213 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1216 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1217 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1219 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1220 in some environments.
1221 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with

1237 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1238 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1239 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1241 Refactoring / cleanups:
1242 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1243 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1244 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1245 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1247 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1248 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1249 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1251 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1252 again in Catalyst::Test
1254 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1268 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1271 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1272 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1275 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1276 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1280 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1281 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1282 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1283 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1284 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1286 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1287 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1288 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application

1306 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1307 to report 'Unknown Error'
1308 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1309 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1310 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

1343 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1344 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1346 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1347 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1348 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1349 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1350 configuration in your application.

1381 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1383 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1384 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1385 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1386 tries to chain to itself
1388 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1389 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1390 - Tests for this (radek)
1391 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1392 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1393 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1394 - Tests for this (radek)

1408 the correct metaclass
1409 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1410 the restarter process
1411 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1412 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1414 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1415 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1416 immutable restart correctly.
1418 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1419 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1435 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1436 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1437 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1438 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1440 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1441 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1479 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1480 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1481 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1490 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1491 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1492 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1493 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1498 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1500 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1501 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1503 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1504 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1527 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1528 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1529 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1530 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1531 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1652 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1653 throw warnings for two reasons:
1654 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1655 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1657 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1658 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1659 method with a regex as the argument

1697 (Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, Masahiro Nagano)
1698 - Fixed a bug where -rr (restart regex) command line option could cause
1699 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1701 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1702 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1703 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
1704 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests

1706 - Return child PID from the HTTP engine when run with the 'background' option.
1708 - Fixed bug in HTTP engine where writes could fail with
