1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
6 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
7 trying to create parameters twice.
8 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
9 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
10 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
11 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
12 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
13 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
14 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
15 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
16 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
17 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
18 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
21 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
22 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
23 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
24 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
25 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
26 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
29 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
30 to prevent it happening again.
33 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
34 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
35 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
36 test case to prevent regressions.
40 - Minor documentation corrections
41 - Make the '79 development series stable
43 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
44 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
45 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
46 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
47 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
49 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
50 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
51 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
52 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
53 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
54 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
55 changes introduced in v5.90080.
57 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
58 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
59 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
60 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
61 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
62 note posted a few months ago.
63 - Added my name to the contributors list
65 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
66 - Merged changes from 5.90078
67 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
68 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
69 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
70 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
71 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
72 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
73 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
74 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
75 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
76 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
77 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
79 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
80 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
81 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
83 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
84 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
85 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
86 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
87 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
88 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
89 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
90 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
91 has already been called (and headers already sent).
92 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
93 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
95 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
96 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
97 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
99 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
100 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
103 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
104 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
105 existing Plack conventions.
106 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
107 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
108 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
109 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
110 don't bubble back up to the main application.
111 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
112 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
113 I highly suggest you test this release.
114 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
115 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
116 correct if incorrect :)
117 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
118 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
119 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
120 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
121 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
122 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
123 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
124 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
125 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
127 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
128 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
129 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
131 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
132 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
133 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
134 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
138 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
140 - updated year in copyright notices
143 - POD corrections (sergey++)
144 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
145 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
146 trouble. (davewood++);
147 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
148 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
149 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
152 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
153 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
154 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
155 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
156 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
159 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
160 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
161 HTTP Exception middleware.
164 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
165 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
166 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
167 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
168 you really need to review this exploit.
171 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
174 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
175 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
176 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
177 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
179 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
182 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
183 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
184 so you can go to hunt it out.
187 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
188 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
189 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
190 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
191 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
192 - Added Italian translation of default error.
195 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
198 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
199 certain tests. No other changes.
202 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
203 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
204 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
206 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
208 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
210 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
214 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
215 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
216 questions or problems!
217 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
218 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
219 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
220 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
221 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
222 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
223 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
224 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
225 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
228 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
229 - documentation and test fixes
232 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
233 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
234 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
235 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
236 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
237 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
238 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
241 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
242 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
245 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
246 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
247 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
248 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
249 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
250 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
251 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
252 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
254 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
257 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
258 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
261 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
262 introduced by a change in December.
265 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
268 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
269 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
270 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
271 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
272 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
275 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
276 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
277 reported while installing.
278 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
279 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
280 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
281 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
282 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
283 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
284 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
285 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
286 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
287 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
288 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
289 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
290 - update copyright notices.
292 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
293 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
294 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
295 fails to install (sorry).
296 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
297 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
298 middleware deal with it.
300 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
301 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
302 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
303 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
304 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
305 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
306 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
307 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
308 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
310 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
311 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
312 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
313 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
314 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
315 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
316 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
317 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
318 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
319 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
321 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
322 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
323 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
324 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
328 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
329 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
330 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
331 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
332 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
333 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
337 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
338 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
339 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
341 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
342 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
343 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
345 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
346 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
347 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
348 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
350 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
351 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
352 - Various POD formatting fixed.
353 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
354 accept and issues that might arise.
357 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
358 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
361 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
362 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
363 for internal methods:
365 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
366 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
367 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
369 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
370 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
371 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
372 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
374 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
375 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
376 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
378 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
379 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
380 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
381 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
382 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
384 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
385 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
386 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
387 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
388 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
389 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
390 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
391 cases to reflect this change.
393 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
394 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
395 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
396 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
397 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
398 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
399 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
400 those keys already exist). Keys added:
401 - plack.request.query
403 - plack.request.merged
404 - plack.request.http.body
405 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
406 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
407 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
408 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
409 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
410 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
411 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
412 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
413 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
414 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
415 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
416 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
417 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
418 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
419 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
420 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
421 is a scalar or arrayref.
422 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
423 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
425 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
426 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
427 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
429 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
430 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
431 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
432 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
433 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
434 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
435 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
436 a development setup (ether++)
438 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
439 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
440 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
441 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
442 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
443 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
444 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
445 case t/data_handler.t
447 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
448 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
449 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
450 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
451 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
454 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
455 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
456 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
457 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
459 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
461 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
465 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
466 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
467 this fixes all of them.
468 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
469 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
470 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
471 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
473 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
476 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
477 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
478 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
479 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
480 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
481 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
482 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
484 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
485 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
486 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
487 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
488 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
489 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
491 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
492 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
493 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
494 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
495 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
496 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
497 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
498 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
500 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
503 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
504 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
505 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
506 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
507 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
508 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
510 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
511 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
512 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
513 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
514 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
515 - smarter validation around action attributes.
518 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
519 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
520 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
521 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
522 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
523 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
524 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
525 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
526 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
527 in behavior is compatible on its own.
528 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
529 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
530 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
531 - Some test and documentation improvements
533 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
534 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
535 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
536 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
539 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
540 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
543 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
544 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
546 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
547 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
549 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
551 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
552 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
554 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
556 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
557 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
558 of request or response classes.
560 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
561 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
562 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
563 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
564 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
565 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
566 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
567 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
568 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
569 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
571 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
572 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
573 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
574 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
575 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
577 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
579 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
580 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
582 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
584 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
585 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
586 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
589 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
592 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
595 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
596 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
598 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
601 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
604 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
606 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
608 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
610 Distribution META.yml changes:
611 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
612 mis-parses from the documentation.
613 - x_authority key added.
616 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
617 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
619 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
620 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
621 is less than helpful.
623 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
624 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
625 in bleadperl. RT#76437
627 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
628 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
631 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
632 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
634 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
635 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
636 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
638 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
641 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
642 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
643 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
644 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
645 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
646 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
648 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
650 - --background option for the server script now only closes
651 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
652 and other loggers which open a file handle when
653 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
654 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
655 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
658 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
661 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
662 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
663 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
664 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
666 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
669 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
672 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
673 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
674 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
675 included when not running from a checkout.
677 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
679 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
680 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
681 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
683 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
685 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
687 New features and refactoring:
688 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
689 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
690 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
692 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
693 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
694 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
697 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
698 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
699 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
701 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
703 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
704 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
705 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
706 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
707 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
708 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
710 Back compatibility fixes:
711 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
712 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
713 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
716 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
719 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
720 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
721 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
723 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
724 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
725 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
727 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
730 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
731 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
732 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
733 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
734 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
737 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
738 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
740 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
741 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
742 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
744 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
747 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
748 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
749 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
750 get them passed through to the application.
753 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
754 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
755 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
756 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
759 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
760 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
761 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
762 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
764 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
765 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
766 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
768 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
769 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
771 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
775 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
776 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
777 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
778 whereas before you had to say:
779 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
780 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
781 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
784 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
785 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
786 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
787 scripts in the application.
788 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
789 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
790 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
795 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
797 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
798 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
799 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
800 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
801 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
802 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
803 and provide an alternative.
805 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
809 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
812 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
815 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
817 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
818 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
819 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
820 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
821 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
822 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
826 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
827 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
829 Backward compatibility fixes:
831 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
832 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
836 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
837 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
839 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
841 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
843 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
844 Backward compatibility fixes:
846 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
847 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
849 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
853 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
854 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
855 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
857 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
859 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
860 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
862 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
866 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
868 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
870 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
872 Backward compatibility fixes:
874 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
876 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
877 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
878 for backward compatibility.
882 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
883 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
887 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
888 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
889 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
891 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
893 Backward compatibility fixes:
895 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
896 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
900 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
903 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
904 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
905 example) Coro is loaded.
907 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
908 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
910 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
911 using MooseX::Deamonize
913 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
914 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
915 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
916 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
917 deployed in these environments.
921 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
925 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
926 file for your application.
928 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
932 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
933 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
935 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
938 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
939 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
941 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
943 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
944 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
946 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
947 IO::Handle's behaviour.
949 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
950 was not breaking out correctly
952 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
953 to also work in the $c->component method.
955 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
956 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
957 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
959 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
961 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
963 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
965 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
966 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
969 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
971 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
974 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
978 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
979 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
980 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
982 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
985 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
987 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
988 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
989 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
991 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
994 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
995 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
996 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
997 the new major version of Catalyst.
1000 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1001 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1003 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1006 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1007 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1008 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1010 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1012 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1013 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1014 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1016 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1017 in Catalyst::execute
1019 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1020 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1021 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1023 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1024 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1028 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1029 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1031 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1032 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1033 developers without changing their application code.
1035 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1038 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1039 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1040 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1041 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1042 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1044 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1045 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1047 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1049 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1053 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1054 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1055 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1056 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1057 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1058 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1059 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1061 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1062 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1063 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1064 class, please tell us *now*.
1066 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1069 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1071 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1072 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1073 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1074 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1075 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1076 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1079 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1080 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1081 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1082 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1083 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1084 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1085 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1086 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1088 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1089 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1090 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1091 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1092 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1093 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1094 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1095 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1098 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1099 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1101 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1104 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1105 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1109 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1110 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1112 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1115 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1117 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1118 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1120 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1122 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1125 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1127 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1130 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1131 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1132 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1134 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1137 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1139 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1140 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1141 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1142 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1143 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1145 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1148 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1149 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1150 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1153 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1154 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1159 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1162 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1165 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1166 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1167 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1168 the default action creation.
1171 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1172 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1173 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1174 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1175 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1176 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1177 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1180 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1182 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1184 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1186 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1189 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1190 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1191 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1192 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1193 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1196 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1197 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1200 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1201 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1202 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1203 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1205 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1208 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1209 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1210 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1211 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1212 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1213 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1214 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1215 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1218 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1219 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1220 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1222 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1223 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1224 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1225 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1228 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1229 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1232 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1233 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1236 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1239 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1240 the content type and content length if available.
1242 Refactoring / optimizations:
1243 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1244 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1245 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1246 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1247 screen as easy to write.
1248 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1249 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1250 in parameter filtering (for example).
1251 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1252 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1253 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1254 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1255 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1258 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1259 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1260 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1261 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1263 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1266 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1267 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1269 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1272 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1273 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1275 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1278 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1279 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1280 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1281 which should not be encoded.
1282 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1283 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1285 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1286 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1287 any set of args/captures.
1289 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1290 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1292 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1296 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1298 - Various minor typo fixes.
1301 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1303 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1306 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1307 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1308 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1311 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1312 - Clarify documentation about debug
1315 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1316 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1317 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1319 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1322 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1323 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1327 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1328 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1330 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1331 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1332 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1333 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1334 argv key in the options hash.
1335 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1336 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1337 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1338 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1340 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1344 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1345 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1346 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1347 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1348 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1350 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1354 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1355 encoding test controller.
1357 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1359 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1360 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1362 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1364 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1365 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1366 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1367 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1368 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1370 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1374 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1375 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1376 less packed with information of no use.
1380 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1382 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1384 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1385 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1386 the single character '0'.
1387 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1390 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1391 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1392 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1394 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1396 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1397 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1398 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1399 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1400 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1401 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1402 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1403 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1404 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1405 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1406 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1407 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1409 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1410 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1412 Refactoring / cleanups:
1413 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1414 (and then skipped) normally.
1417 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1419 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1422 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1423 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1424 on the old behaviour.
1426 Refactoring / cleanups:
1427 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1428 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1430 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1433 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1434 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1435 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1436 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1437 as there is no recommended alternative.
1438 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1439 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1440 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1441 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1442 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1443 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1444 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1445 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1446 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1447 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1448 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1449 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1450 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1451 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1454 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1455 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1456 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1457 deprecated and causes warnings).
1458 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1459 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1460 in the correct order.
1461 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1463 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1464 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1465 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1468 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1469 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1470 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1471 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1472 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1474 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1475 exception classes need to implement.
1476 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1477 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1480 Refactoring / cleanups:
1481 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1482 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1483 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1484 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1485 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1486 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1487 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1489 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1492 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1493 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1494 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1495 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1497 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1498 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1499 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1502 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1503 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1506 Refactoring / cleanups:
1507 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1508 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1509 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1510 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1511 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1513 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1516 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1517 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1518 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1519 now loaded at most once + tests.
1520 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1521 is returned to 'actions'.
1522 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1523 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1525 Refactoring / cleanups:
1526 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1527 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1530 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1531 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1532 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1534 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1537 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1538 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1541 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1544 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1545 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1546 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1548 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1551 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1552 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1553 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1555 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1558 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1559 application class immutable without that option.
1560 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1561 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1563 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1564 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1565 (hopefully) future versions.
1566 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1567 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1568 variables (RT#48555)
1569 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1571 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1572 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1573 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1574 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1575 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1577 Refactoring / cleanups:
1578 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1579 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1580 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1581 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1582 known issues with 5.8.3.
1583 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1584 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1587 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1588 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1589 for the controller namespace
1590 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1591 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1592 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1593 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1594 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1595 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1597 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1598 frontend port (jshirley)
1599 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1603 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1604 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1605 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1606 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1609 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1612 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1613 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1614 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1616 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1617 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1618 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1619 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1620 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1621 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1625 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1626 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1627 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1630 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1633 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1634 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1636 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1637 in some environments.
1638 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1639 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1640 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1641 except works correctly with closures.
1642 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1643 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1644 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1645 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1646 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1647 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1648 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1651 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1652 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1653 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1654 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1655 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1656 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1658 Refactoring / cleanups:
1659 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1660 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1661 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1662 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1664 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1665 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1666 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1668 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1669 again in Catalyst::Test
1671 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1674 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1675 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1678 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1681 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1682 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1683 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1685 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1688 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1689 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1692 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1693 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1697 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1698 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1699 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1700 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1701 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1703 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1704 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1705 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1706 controller naming. (random)
1707 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1708 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1709 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1710 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1711 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1713 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1715 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1716 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1717 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1719 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1720 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1721 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1722 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1723 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1724 to report 'Unknown Error'

1760 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1761 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1764 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1765 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1766 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1767 configuration in your application.

1800 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1801 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1802 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1803 tries to chain to itself

1806 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1807 - Tests for this (radek)
1808 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1809 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1810 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1811 - Tests for this (radek)

1822 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1823 in production versions
1824 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1825 the correct metaclass
1826 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1827 the restarter process
1828 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1829 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1831 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1832 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1833 immutable restart correctly.
1835 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1836 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1852 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1853 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1854 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1855 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1857 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1858 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1897 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1898 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1918 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1920 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1921 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1924 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1925 test sync for engines easier

1946 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1947 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1948 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2119 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
2120 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
