1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
4 - Merged changes from 5.90078
5 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
6 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
7 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
8 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
9 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
10 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
11 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
12 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
13 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
14 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
15 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
17 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
18 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
19 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
21 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
22 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
23 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
24 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
25 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
26 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
27 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the reponse should be encoded.
28 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
29 has allready been called (and headers already sent).
30 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
31 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
33 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
34 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
35 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
37 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
38 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
41 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
42 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
43 existing Plack conventions.
44 - Modify Catayst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
45 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
46 - Modified Catayst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
47 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
48 don't bubble back up to the main application.
49 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
50 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
51 I highly suggest you test this release.
52 - We alway do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
53 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
54 correct if incorrect :)
55 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
56 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
57 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specificed via the encoding configuration value).
58 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
59 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
60 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
61 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
62 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
63 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
65 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
66 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional methd 'write_encoded' that just
67 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
69 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
70 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
71 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
72 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
76 - POD corrections (sergey++)
77 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthru feature
78 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
79 trouble. (davewood++);
80 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
81 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
82 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
85 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
86 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
87 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
88 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
89 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
92 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
93 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
94 HTTP Exception middleware.
97 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
98 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
99 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
100 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
101 you really need to review this exploit.
104 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
107 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
108 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
109 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
110 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
112 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
115 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
116 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
117 so you can go to hunt it out.
120 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
121 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
122 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
123 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
124 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
125 - Added italian translation of default error.
128 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
131 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
132 certain tests. No other changes.
135 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
136 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
137 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
139 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
141 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
143 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
147 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
148 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
149 questions or problems!
150 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
151 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
152 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
153 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
154 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
155 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
156 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
157 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
158 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
161 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
162 - documentation and test fixes
165 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
166 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
167 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
168 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
169 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
170 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
171 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
174 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
175 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
178 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
179 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
180 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
181 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
182 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
183 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
184 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
185 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
187 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
190 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
191 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
194 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
195 introduced by a change in December.
198 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
201 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
202 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
203 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
204 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
205 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
208 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
209 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
210 reported while installing.
211 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
212 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
213 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
214 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
215 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
216 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
217 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
218 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
219 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
220 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
221 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
222 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
223 - update copyright notices.
225 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
226 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
227 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
228 fails to install (sorry).
229 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
230 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
231 middleware deal with it.
233 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
234 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
235 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
236 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
237 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
238 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
239 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
240 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
241 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
243 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
244 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
245 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
246 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
247 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
248 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
249 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
250 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
251 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
252 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
254 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
255 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
256 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
257 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
261 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
262 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
263 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
264 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
265 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
266 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
270 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
271 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
272 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
274 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
275 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
276 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
278 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
279 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
280 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
281 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
283 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
284 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
285 - Various POD formating fixed.
286 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
287 accept and issues that might arise.
290 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
291 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
294 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
295 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
296 for internal methods:
298 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
299 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
300 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
302 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
303 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
304 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
305 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
307 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
308 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
309 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
311 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
312 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
313 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
314 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
315 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
317 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
318 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
319 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
320 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
321 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
322 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
323 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
324 cases to reflect this change.
326 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
327 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
328 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
329 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
330 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
331 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
332 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
333 those keys already exist). Keys added:
334 - plack.request.query
336 - plack.request.merged
337 - plack.request.http.body
338 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
339 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
340 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
341 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
342 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
343 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
344 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
345 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
346 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
347 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
348 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
349 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
350 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
351 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
352 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
353 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
354 is a scalar or arrayref.
355 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
356 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
358 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
359 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
360 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
362 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
363 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
364 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
365 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
366 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
367 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
368 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
369 a development setup (ether++)
371 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
372 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
373 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
374 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
375 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
376 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
377 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
378 case t/data_handler.t
380 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
381 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
382 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
383 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
384 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
387 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
388 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
389 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
390 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
392 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
394 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
398 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
399 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
400 this fixes all of them.
401 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
402 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
403 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
404 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
406 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
409 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
410 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
411 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
412 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
413 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
414 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
415 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
417 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
418 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
419 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
420 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
421 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
422 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
424 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
425 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
426 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
427 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
428 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
429 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
430 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
431 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
433 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
436 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
437 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
438 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
439 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
440 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
441 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
443 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
444 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
445 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
446 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
447 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
448 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
451 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
452 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
453 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
454 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
455 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
456 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
457 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
458 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
459 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
460 in behavior is compatible on its own.
461 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
462 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
463 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
464 - Some test and documentation improvements
466 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
467 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
468 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
469 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
472 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
473 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
476 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
477 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
479 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
480 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
482 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
484 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
485 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
487 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
489 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
490 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
491 of request or response classes.
493 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
494 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
495 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
496 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
497 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
498 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
499 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
500 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
501 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
502 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
504 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
505 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
506 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
507 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
508 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
510 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
512 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
513 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
515 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
517 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
518 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
519 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
522 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
525 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
528 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
529 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
531 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
534 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
537 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
539 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
541 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
543 Distribution META.yml changes:
544 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
545 mis-parses from the documentation.
546 - x_authority key added.
549 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
550 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
552 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
553 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
554 is less than helpful.
556 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
557 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
558 in bleadperl. RT#76437
560 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
561 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
564 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
565 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
567 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
568 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
569 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
571 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
574 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
575 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
576 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
577 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
578 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
579 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
581 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
583 - --background option for the server script now only closes
584 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
585 and other loggers which open a file handle when
586 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
587 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
588 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
591 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
594 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
595 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
596 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
597 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
599 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
602 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
605 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
606 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
607 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
608 included when not running from a checkout.
610 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
612 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
613 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
614 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
616 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
618 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
620 New features and refactoring:
621 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
622 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
623 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
625 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
626 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
627 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
630 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
631 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
632 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
634 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
636 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
637 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
638 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
639 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
640 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
641 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
643 Back compatibility fixes:
644 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
645 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
646 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
649 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
652 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
653 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
654 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
656 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
657 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
658 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
660 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
663 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
664 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
665 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
666 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
667 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
670 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
671 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
673 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
674 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
675 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
677 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
680 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
681 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
682 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
683 get them passed through to the application.
686 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
687 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
688 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
689 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
692 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
693 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
694 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
695 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
697 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
698 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
699 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
701 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
702 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
704 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
708 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
709 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
710 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
711 whereas before you had to say:
712 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
713 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
714 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
717 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
718 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
719 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
720 scripts in the application.
721 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
722 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
723 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
728 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
730 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
731 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
732 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
733 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
734 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
735 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
736 and provide an alternative.
738 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
742 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
745 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
748 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
750 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
751 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
752 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
753 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
754 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
755 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
759 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
760 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
762 Backward compatibility fixes:
764 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
765 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
769 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
770 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
772 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
774 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
776 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
777 Backward compatibility fixes:
779 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
780 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
782 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
786 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
787 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
788 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
790 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
792 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
793 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
795 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
799 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
801 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
803 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
805 Backward compatibility fixes:
807 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
809 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
810 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
811 for backward compatibility.
815 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
816 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
820 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
821 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
822 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
824 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
826 Backward compatibility fixes:
828 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
829 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
833 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
836 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
837 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
838 example) Coro is loaded.
840 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
841 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
843 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
844 using MooseX::Deamonize
846 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
847 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
848 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
849 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
850 deployed in these environments.
854 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
858 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
859 file for your application.
861 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
865 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
866 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
868 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
871 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
872 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
874 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
876 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
877 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
879 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
880 IO::Handle's behaviour.
882 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
883 was not breaking out correctly
885 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
886 to also work in the $c->component method.
888 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
889 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
890 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
892 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
894 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
896 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
898 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
899 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
902 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
904 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
907 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
911 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
912 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
913 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
915 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
918 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
920 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
921 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
922 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
924 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
927 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
928 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
929 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
930 the new major version of Catalyst.
933 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
934 of Catalyst has been much improved.
936 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
939 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
940 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
941 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
943 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
945 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
946 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
947 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
949 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
952 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
953 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
954 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
956 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
957 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
961 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
962 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
964 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
965 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
966 developers without changing their application code.
968 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
971 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
972 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
973 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
974 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
975 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
977 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
978 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
980 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
982 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
986 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
987 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
988 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
989 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
990 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
991 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
992 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
994 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
995 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
996 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
997 class, please tell us *now*.
999 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1002 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1004 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1005 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1006 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1007 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1008 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1009 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1012 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1013 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1014 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1015 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1016 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1017 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1018 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1019 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1021 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1022 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1023 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1024 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1025 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1026 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1027 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1028 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1031 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1032 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1034 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1037 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1038 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1042 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1043 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1045 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1048 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1050 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1051 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1053 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1055 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1058 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1060 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1063 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1064 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1065 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1067 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1070 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1072 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1073 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1074 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1075 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1076 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1078 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1081 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1082 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1083 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1086 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1087 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1092 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1095 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1098 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1099 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1100 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1101 the default action creation.
1104 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1105 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1106 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1107 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1108 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1109 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1110 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1113 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1115 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1117 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1119 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1122 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1123 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1124 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1125 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1126 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1129 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1130 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1133 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1134 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1135 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1136 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1138 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1141 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1142 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1143 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1144 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1145 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1146 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1147 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1148 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1151 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1152 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1153 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1155 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1156 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1157 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1158 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1161 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1162 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1165 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1166 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1169 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1172 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1173 the content type and content length if available.
1175 Refactoring / optimizations:
1176 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1177 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1178 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1179 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1180 screen as easy to write.
1181 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1182 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1183 in parameter filtering (for example).
1184 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1185 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1186 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1187 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1188 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1191 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1192 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1193 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1194 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1196 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1199 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1200 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1202 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1205 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1206 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1208 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1211 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1212 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1213 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1214 which should not be encoded.
1215 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1216 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1218 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1219 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1220 any set of args/captures.
1222 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1223 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1225 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1229 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1231 - Various minor typo fixes.
1234 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1236 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1239 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1240 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1241 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1244 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1245 - Clarify documentation about debug
1248 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1249 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1250 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1252 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1255 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1256 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1260 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1261 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1263 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1264 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1265 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1266 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1267 argv key in the options hash.
1268 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1269 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1270 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1271 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1273 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1277 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1278 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1279 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1280 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1281 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1283 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1287 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1288 encoding test controller.
1290 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1292 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1293 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1294 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1295 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1297 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1298 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1299 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1300 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1301 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1303 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1307 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1308 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1309 less packed with information of no use.
1313 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1315 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1317 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1318 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1319 the single character '0'.
1320 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1323 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1324 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1325 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1327 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1329 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1330 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1331 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1332 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1333 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1334 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1335 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1336 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1337 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1338 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1339 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1340 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1342 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1343 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1345 Refactoring / cleanups:
1346 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1347 (and then skipped) normally.
1350 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1352 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1355 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1356 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1357 on the old behaviour.
1359 Refactoring / cleanups:
1360 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1361 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1363 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1366 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1367 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1368 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1369 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1370 as there is no recommended alternative.
1371 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1372 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1373 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1374 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1375 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1376 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1377 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1378 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1379 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1380 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1381 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1382 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1383 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1384 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1387 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1388 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1389 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1390 deprecated and causes warnings).
1391 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1392 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1393 in the correct order.
1394 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1396 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1397 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1398 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1401 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1402 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1403 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1404 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1405 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1407 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1408 exception classes need to implement.
1409 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1410 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1413 Refactoring / cleanups:
1414 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1415 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1416 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1417 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1418 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1419 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1420 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1422 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1425 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1426 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1427 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1428 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1430 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1431 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1432 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1435 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1436 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1439 Refactoring / cleanups:
1440 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1441 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1442 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1443 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1444 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1446 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1449 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1450 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1451 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1452 now loaded at most once + tests.
1453 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1454 is returned to 'actions'.
1455 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1456 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1458 Refactoring / cleanups:
1459 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1460 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1463 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1464 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1465 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1467 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1470 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1471 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1474 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1477 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1478 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1479 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1481 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1484 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1485 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1486 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1488 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1491 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1492 application class immutable without that option.
1493 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1494 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1496 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1497 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1498 (hopefully) future versions.
1499 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1500 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1501 variables (RT#48555)
1502 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1504 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1505 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1506 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1507 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1508 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1510 Refactoring / cleanups:
1511 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1512 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1513 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1514 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1515 known issues with 5.8.3.
1516 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1517 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1520 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1521 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1522 for the controller namespace
1523 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1524 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1525 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1526 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1527 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1528 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1530 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1531 frontend port (jshirley)
1532 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1536 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1537 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1538 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1539 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1542 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1545 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1546 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1547 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1549 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1550 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1551 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1552 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1553 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1554 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1558 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1559 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1560 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1563 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1566 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1567 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1569 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1570 in some environments.
1571 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1572 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1573 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1574 except works correctly with closures.
1575 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1576 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1577 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1578 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1579 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1580 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1581 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1584 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1585 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1586 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1587 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1588 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1589 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1591 Refactoring / cleanups:
1592 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1593 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1594 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1595 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1597 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1598 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1599 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1601 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1602 again in Catalyst::Test
1604 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1607 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1608 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1611 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1614 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1615 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1616 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1618 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1621 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1622 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1625 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1626 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1630 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1631 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1632 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1633 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1634 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1636 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1637 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1638 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1639 controller naming. (random)
1640 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1641 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1642 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1643 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1644 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1646 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1648 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1649 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1650 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1652 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1653 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1654 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1655 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1656 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1657 to report 'Unknown Error'
1658 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1659 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1660 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1661 parse_on_demand is on
1663 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1664 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1665 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1666 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1667 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1668 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1669 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1670 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1671 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1673 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1674 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1675 Test::Aggregate is available.
1676 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1677 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1678 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1679 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1680 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1681 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1682 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1683 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1684 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1685 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1686 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1687 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1688 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1689 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1690 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1691 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1692 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1693 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1694 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1697 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1698 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1699 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1700 configuration in your application.
1702 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1703 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1704 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1706 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1707 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1709 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1710 has been made private
1711 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1712 the request parameters with undef + test
1713 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1714 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
