1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
5 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
7 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
8 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
9 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
10 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
13 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
14 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
17 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
18 with type constraints.
19 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
20 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
21 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
22 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
23 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
24 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
27 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
28 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
30 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
31 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
32 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
33 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
36 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
37 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
38 to define behavior better.
41 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
43 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
44 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
45 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
46 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
49 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
50 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
51 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
52 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
53 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
54 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
55 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
56 - Merged Pull Requests:
57 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
58 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
59 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
60 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
61 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
62 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
65 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
66 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
69 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
70 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
71 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
72 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
73 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
74 that has proven to work for years.)
77 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
78 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
79 even though they were actually created).
82 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
83 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
84 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
85 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
86 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
88 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
89 - Added swanky github badges.
90 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
91 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
92 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
93 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
96 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
97 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
98 raise an error when registering its actions.
99 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
100 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
101 the injection and do custom injection types.
103 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
104 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
105 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
107 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
108 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
109 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
110 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
112 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
113 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
114 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
115 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
116 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
117 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
118 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
119 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
120 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
121 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
123 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
124 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
125 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
126 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
127 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
128 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
129 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
130 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
132 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
133 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
134 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
135 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
136 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
137 stand alone classes...).
138 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
139 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
140 report any stats related issues.
141 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
142 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
143 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
144 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
145 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
146 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
147 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
149 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
150 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
151 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
152 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
154 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
155 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
156 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
157 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
158 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
159 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
162 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
163 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
164 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
165 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
166 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
167 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
168 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
169 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
170 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
171 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
172 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
173 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
176 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
177 trying to create parameters twice.
178 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
179 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
180 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
181 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
182 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
183 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
184 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
185 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
186 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
187 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
188 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
191 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
192 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
193 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
194 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
195 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
196 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
199 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
200 to prevent it happening again.
203 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
204 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
205 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
206 test case to prevent regressions.
209 - Minor documentation corrections
210 - Make the '79 development series stable
212 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
213 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
214 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
215 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
216 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
218 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
219 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
220 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
221 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
222 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
223 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
224 changes introduced in v5.90080.
226 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
227 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
228 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
229 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
230 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
231 note posted a few months ago.
232 - Added my name to the contributors list
234 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
235 - Merged changes from 5.90078
236 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
237 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
238 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
239 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
240 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
241 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
242 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
243 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
244 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
245 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
246 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
248 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
249 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
250 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
252 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
253 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
254 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
255 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
256 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
257 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
258 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
259 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
260 has already been called (and headers already sent).
261 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
262 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
264 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
265 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
266 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
268 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
269 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
272 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
273 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
274 existing Plack conventions.
275 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
276 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
277 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
278 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
279 don't bubble back up to the main application.
280 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
281 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
282 I highly suggest you test this release.
283 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
284 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
285 correct if incorrect :)
286 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
287 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
288 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
289 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
290 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
291 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
292 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
293 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
294 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
296 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
297 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
298 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
300 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
301 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
302 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
303 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
307 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
309 - updated year in copyright notices
312 - POD corrections (sergey++)
313 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
314 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
315 trouble. (davewood++);
316 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
317 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
318 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
321 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
322 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
323 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
324 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
325 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
328 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
329 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
330 HTTP Exception middleware.
333 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
334 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
335 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
336 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
337 you really need to review this exploit.
340 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
343 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
344 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
345 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
346 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
348 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
351 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
352 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
353 so you can go to hunt it out.
356 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
357 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
358 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
359 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
360 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
361 - Added Italian translation of default error.
364 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
367 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
368 certain tests. No other changes.
371 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
372 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
373 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
375 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
377 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
379 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
383 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
384 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
385 questions or problems!
386 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
387 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
388 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
389 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
390 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
391 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
392 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
393 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
394 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
397 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
398 - documentation and test fixes
401 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
402 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
403 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
404 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
405 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
406 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
407 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
410 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
411 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
414 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
415 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
416 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
417 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
418 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
419 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
420 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
421 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
423 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
426 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
427 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
430 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
431 introduced by a change in December.
434 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
437 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
438 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
439 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
440 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
441 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
444 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
445 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
446 reported while installing.
447 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
448 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
449 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
450 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
451 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
452 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
453 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
454 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
455 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
456 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
457 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
458 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
459 - update copyright notices.
461 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
462 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
463 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
464 fails to install (sorry).
465 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
466 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
467 middleware deal with it.
469 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
470 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
471 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
472 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
473 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
474 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
475 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
476 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
477 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
479 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
480 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
481 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
482 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
483 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
484 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
485 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
486 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
487 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
488 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
490 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
491 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
492 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
493 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
497 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
498 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
499 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
500 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
501 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
502 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
506 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
507 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
508 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
510 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
511 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
512 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
514 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
515 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
516 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
517 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
519 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
520 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
521 - Various POD formatting fixed.
522 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
523 accept and issues that might arise.
526 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
527 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
530 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
531 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
532 for internal methods:
534 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
535 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
536 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
538 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
539 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
540 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
541 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
543 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
544 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
545 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
547 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
548 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
549 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
550 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
551 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
553 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
554 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
555 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
556 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
557 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
558 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
559 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
560 cases to reflect this change.
562 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
563 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
564 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
565 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
566 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
567 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
568 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
569 those keys already exist). Keys added:
570 - plack.request.query
572 - plack.request.merged
573 - plack.request.http.body
574 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
575 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
576 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
577 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
578 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
579 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
580 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
581 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
582 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
583 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
584 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
585 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
586 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
587 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
588 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
589 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
590 is a scalar or arrayref.
591 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
592 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
594 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
595 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
596 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
598 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
599 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
600 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
601 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
602 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
603 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
604 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
605 a development setup (ether++)
607 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
608 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
609 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
610 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
611 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
612 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
613 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
614 case t/data_handler.t
616 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
617 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
618 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
619 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
620 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
623 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
624 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
625 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
626 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
628 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
630 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
634 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
635 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
636 this fixes all of them.
637 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
638 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
639 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
640 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
642 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
645 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
646 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
647 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
648 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
649 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
650 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
651 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
653 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
654 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
655 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
656 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
657 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
658 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
660 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
661 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
662 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
663 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
664 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
665 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
666 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
667 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
669 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
672 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
673 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
674 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
675 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
676 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
677 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
679 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
680 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
681 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
682 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
683 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
684 - smarter validation around action attributes.
687 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
688 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
689 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
690 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
691 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
692 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
693 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
694 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
695 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
696 in behavior is compatible on its own.
697 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
698 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
699 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
700 - Some test and documentation improvements
702 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
703 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
704 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
705 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
708 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
709 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
712 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
713 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
715 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
716 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
718 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
720 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
721 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
723 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
725 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
726 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
727 of request or response classes.
729 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
730 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
731 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
732 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
733 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
734 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
735 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
736 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
737 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
738 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
740 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
741 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
742 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
743 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
744 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
746 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
748 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
749 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
751 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
753 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
754 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
755 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
758 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
761 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
764 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
765 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
767 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
770 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
773 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
775 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
777 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
779 Distribution META.yml changes:
780 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
781 mis-parses from the documentation.
782 - x_authority key added.
785 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
786 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
788 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
789 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
790 is less than helpful.
792 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
793 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
794 in bleadperl. RT#76437
796 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
797 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
800 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
801 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
803 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
804 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
805 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
807 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
810 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
811 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
812 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
813 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
814 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
815 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
817 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
819 - --background option for the server script now only closes
820 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
821 and other loggers which open a file handle when
822 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
823 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
824 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
827 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
830 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
831 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
832 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
833 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
835 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
838 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
841 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
842 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
843 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
844 included when not running from a checkout.
846 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
848 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
849 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
850 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
852 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
854 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
856 New features and refactoring:
857 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
858 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
859 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
861 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
862 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
863 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
866 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
867 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
868 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
870 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
872 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
873 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
874 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
875 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
876 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
877 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
879 Back compatibility fixes:
880 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
881 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
882 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
885 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
888 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
889 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
890 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
892 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
893 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
894 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
896 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
899 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
900 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
901 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
902 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
903 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
906 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
907 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
909 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
910 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
911 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
913 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
916 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
917 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
918 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
919 get them passed through to the application.
922 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
923 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
924 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
925 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
928 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
929 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
930 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
931 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
933 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
934 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
935 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
937 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
938 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
940 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
944 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
945 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
946 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
947 whereas before you had to say:
948 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
949 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
950 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
953 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
954 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
955 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
956 scripts in the application.
957 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
958 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
959 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
964 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
966 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
967 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
968 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
969 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
970 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
971 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
972 and provide an alternative.
974 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
978 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
981 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
984 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
986 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
987 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
988 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
989 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
990 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
991 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
995 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
996 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
998 Backward compatibility fixes:
1000 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1001 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1003 Documentation fixes:
1005 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1006 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1008 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1010 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1012 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1013 Backward compatibility fixes:
1015 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1016 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1018 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1020 Documentation fixes:
1022 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1023 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1024 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1026 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1028 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1029 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1031 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1033 Cut another release.
1035 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1037 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1039 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1041 Backward compatibility fixes:
1043 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1045 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1046 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1047 for backward compatibility.
1051 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1052 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1056 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1057 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1058 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1060 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1062 Backward compatibility fixes:
1064 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1065 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1069 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1070 been made immutable.
1072 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1073 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1074 example) Coro is loaded.
1076 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1077 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1079 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1080 using MooseX::Deamonize
1082 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1083 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1084 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1085 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1086 deployed in these environments.
1090 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1094 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1095 file for your application.
1097 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1101 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1102 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1104 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1107 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1108 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1110 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1112 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1113 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1115 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1116 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1118 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1119 was not breaking out correctly
1121 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1122 to also work in the $c->component method.
1124 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1125 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1126 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1128 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1130 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1132 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1134 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1135 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1138 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1140 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1143 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1144 not being installed.
1147 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1148 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1149 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1151 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1154 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1156 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1157 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1158 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1160 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1163 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1164 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1165 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1166 the new major version of Catalyst.
1169 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1170 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1172 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1175 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1176 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1177 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1179 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1181 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1182 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1183 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1185 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1186 in Catalyst::execute
1188 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1189 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1190 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1192 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1193 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1197 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1198 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1200 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1201 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1202 developers without changing their application code.
1204 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1207 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1208 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1209 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1210 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1211 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1213 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1214 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1216 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1218 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1222 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1223 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1224 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1225 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1226 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1227 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1228 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1230 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1231 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1232 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1233 class, please tell us *now*.
1235 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1238 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1240 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1241 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1242 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1243 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1244 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1245 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1248 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1249 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1250 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1251 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1252 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1253 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1254 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1255 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1257 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1258 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1259 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1260 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1261 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1262 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1263 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1264 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1267 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1268 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1270 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1273 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1274 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1278 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1279 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1281 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1284 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1286 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1287 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1289 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1291 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1294 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1296 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1299 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1300 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1301 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1303 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1306 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1308 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1309 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1310 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1311 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1312 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1314 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1317 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1318 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1319 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1322 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1323 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1328 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1331 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1334 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1335 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1336 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1337 the default action creation.
1340 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1341 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1342 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1343 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1344 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1345 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1346 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1349 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1351 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1353 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1355 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1358 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1359 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1360 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1361 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1362 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1365 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1366 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1369 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1370 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1371 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1372 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1374 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1377 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1378 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1379 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1380 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1381 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1382 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1383 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1384 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1387 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1388 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1389 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1391 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1392 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1393 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1394 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1397 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1398 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1401 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1402 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1405 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1408 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1409 the content type and content length if available.
1411 Refactoring / optimizations:
1412 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1413 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1414 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1415 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1416 screen as easy to write.
1417 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1418 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1419 in parameter filtering (for example).
1420 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1421 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1422 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1423 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1424 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1427 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1428 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1429 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1430 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1432 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1435 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1436 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1438 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1441 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1442 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1444 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1447 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1448 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1449 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1450 which should not be encoded.
1451 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1452 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1454 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1455 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1456 any set of args/captures.
1458 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1459 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1461 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1465 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1467 - Various minor typo fixes.
1470 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1472 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1475 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1476 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1477 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1480 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1481 - Clarify documentation about debug
1484 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1485 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1486 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1488 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1491 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1492 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1496 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1497 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1499 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1500 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1501 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1502 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1503 argv key in the options hash.
1504 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1505 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1506 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1507 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1509 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1513 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1514 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1515 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1516 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1517 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1519 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1523 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1524 encoding test controller.
1526 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1528 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1529 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1531 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1533 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1534 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1535 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1536 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1537 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1539 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1543 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1544 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1545 less packed with information of no use.
1549 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1551 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1553 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1554 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1555 the single character '0'.
1556 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1559 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1560 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1561 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1563 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1565 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1566 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1567 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1568 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1569 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1570 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1571 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1572 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1573 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1574 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1575 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1576 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1578 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1579 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1581 Refactoring / cleanups:
1582 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1583 (and then skipped) normally.
1586 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1588 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1591 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1592 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1593 on the old behaviour.
1595 Refactoring / cleanups:
1596 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1597 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1599 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1602 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1603 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1604 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1605 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1606 as there is no recommended alternative.
1607 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1608 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1609 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1610 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1611 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1612 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1613 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1614 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1615 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1616 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1617 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1618 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1619 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1620 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1623 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1624 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1625 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1626 deprecated and causes warnings).
1627 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1628 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1629 in the correct order.
1630 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1632 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1633 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1634 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1637 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1638 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1639 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1640 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1641 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1643 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1644 exception classes need to implement.
1645 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1646 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1649 Refactoring / cleanups:
1650 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1651 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1652 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1653 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1654 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1655 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1656 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1658 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1661 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1662 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1663 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1664 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1666 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1667 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1668 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1671 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1672 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1675 Refactoring / cleanups:
1676 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1677 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1678 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1679 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1680 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1682 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1685 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1686 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1687 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1688 now loaded at most once + tests.
1689 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1690 is returned to 'actions'.
1691 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1692 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1694 Refactoring / cleanups:
1695 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1696 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1699 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1700 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1701 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1703 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1706 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1707 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1710 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1713 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1714 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1715 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1717 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1720 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1721 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1722 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1724 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1727 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1728 application class immutable without that option.
1729 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1730 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1732 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1733 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1734 (hopefully) future versions.
1735 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1736 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1737 variables (RT#48555)
1738 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1740 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1741 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1742 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1743 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1744 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1746 Refactoring / cleanups:
1747 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1748 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1749 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1750 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1751 known issues with 5.8.3.
1752 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1753 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1756 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1757 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1758 for the controller namespace
1759 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1760 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1761 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1762 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1763 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1764 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1766 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1767 frontend port (jshirley)
1768 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1772 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1773 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1774 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1775 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1778 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1781 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1782 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1783 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1785 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1786 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1787 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1788 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1789 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1790 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1794 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1795 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1796 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1799 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1802 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1803 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1805 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1806 in some environments.
1807 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1808 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1809 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1810 except works correctly with closures.
1811 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1812 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1813 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1814 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1815 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1816 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1817 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1820 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1821 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1822 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1823 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1824 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1825 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1827 Refactoring / cleanups:
1828 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1829 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1830 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1831 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1833 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1834 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1835 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1837 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1838 again in Catalyst::Test
1840 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1843 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1844 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1847 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1850 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1851 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1852 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1854 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1857 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1858 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1861 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1862 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1866 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1867 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1868 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1869 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1870 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1872 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1873 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1874 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1875 controller naming. (random)
1876 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1877 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1878 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1879 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1880 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.

1886 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1888 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1889 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1890 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1891 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1892 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1893 to report 'Unknown Error'
1894 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1895 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1896 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1897 parse_on_demand is on
1899 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1900 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1901 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1902 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1903 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1906 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1907 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1913 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1914 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1915 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1916 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1926 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1927 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1928 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1929 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1930 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1933 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1934 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1935 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1936 configuration in your application.
1938 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1939 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1969 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1970 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1971 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1972 tries to chain to itself
1974 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1975 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1976 - Tests for this (radek)
1977 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1978 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1979 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1980 - Tests for this (radek)

1991 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1992 in production versions
1993 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1994 the correct metaclass
1995 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1996 the restarter process
1997 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1998 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2000 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2001 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2002 immutable restart correctly.
2004 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2005 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

2021 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2022 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2023 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2024 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2026 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2027 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

2066 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2067 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

2087 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2089 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2090 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2238 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2239 throw warnings for two reasons:
2240 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2241 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2243 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2244 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2245 method with a regex as the argument
