6 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
7 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
9 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
12 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
13 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
14 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
15 which should not be encoded.
16 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
17 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
19 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
20 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
21 any set of args/captures.
23 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
24 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
26 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
30 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
32 - Various minor typo fixes.
35 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
37 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
40 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
41 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
42 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
45 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
46 - Clarify documentation about debug
49 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
50 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
51 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
53 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
56 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
57 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
61 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
62 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
64 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
65 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
66 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
67 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
68 argv key in the options hash.
69 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
70 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
71 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
72 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
74 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
78 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
79 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
80 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
81 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
82 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
84 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
88 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
89 encoding test controller.
91 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
93 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
94 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
95 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
96 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
98 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
99 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
100 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
101 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
102 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
104 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
108 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
109 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
110 less packed with information of no use.
114 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
116 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
118 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
119 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
120 the single character '0'.
121 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
124 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
125 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
126 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
128 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
130 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
131 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
132 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
133 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
134 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
135 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
136 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
137 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
138 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
139 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
140 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
141 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
143 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
144 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
146 Refactoring / cleanups:
147 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
148 (and then skipped) normally.
151 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
153 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
156 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
157 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
158 on the old behaviour.
160 Refactoring / cleanups:
161 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
162 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
164 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
167 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
168 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
169 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
170 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
171 as there is no recommended alternative.
172 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
173 fallback for fully qualified component names.
174 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
175 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
176 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
177 startup, rather than with the first hit.
178 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
179 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
180 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
181 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
182 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
183 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
184 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
185 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
188 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
189 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
190 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
191 deprecated and causes warnings).
192 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
193 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
194 in the correct order.
195 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
197 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
198 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
199 is deprecated (RT#51489)
202 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
203 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
204 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
205 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
206 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
208 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
209 exception classes need to implement.
210 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
211 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
214 Refactoring / cleanups:
215 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
216 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
217 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
218 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
219 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
220 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
221 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
223 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
226 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
227 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
228 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
229 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
231 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
232 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
233 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
236 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
237 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
240 Refactoring / cleanups:
241 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
242 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
243 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
244 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
245 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
247 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
250 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
251 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
252 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
253 now loaded at most once + tests.
254 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
255 is returned to 'actions'.
256 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
257 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
259 Refactoring / cleanups:
260 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
261 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
264 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
265 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
266 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
268 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
271 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
272 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
275 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
278 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
279 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
280 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
282 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
285 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
286 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
287 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
289 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
292 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
293 application class immutable without that option.
294 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
295 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
297 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
298 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
299 (hopefully) future versions.
300 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
301 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
303 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
305 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
306 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
307 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
308 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
309 Request-URI of the Request-Line
311 Refactoring / cleanups:
312 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
313 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
314 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
315 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
316 known issues with 5.8.3.
317 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
318 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
321 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
322 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
323 for the controller namespace
324 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
325 expand_component_module (rjbs)
326 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
327 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
328 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
329 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
331 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
332 frontend port (jshirley)
333 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
337 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
338 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
339 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
340 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
343 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
346 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
347 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
348 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
350 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
351 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
352 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
353 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
354 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
355 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
359 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
360 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
361 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
364 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
367 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
368 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
370 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
371 in some environments.
372 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
373 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
374 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
375 except works correctly with closures.
376 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
377 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
378 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
380 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
381 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
382 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
385 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
386 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
387 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
388 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
389 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
390 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
392 Refactoring / cleanups:
393 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
394 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
395 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
396 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
398 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
399 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
400 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
402 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
403 again in Catalyst::Test
405 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
408 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
409 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
412 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
415 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
416 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
417 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
419 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
422 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
423 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
426 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
427 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
431 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
432 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
433 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
434 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
435 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
437 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
438 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
439 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
440 controller naming. (random)
441 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
442 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
443 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
444 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
445 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
447 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
449 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
450 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
451 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
453 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
454 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
455 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
456 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
457 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
458 to report 'Unknown Error'
459 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
460 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
461 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
462 parse_on_demand is on
464 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
465 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
466 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
467 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
468 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
469 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
470 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
471 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
472 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
474 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
475 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
476 Test::Aggregate is available.
477 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
478 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
479 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
480 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
481 disabling functionality from base controllers.
482 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
483 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
484 incompatibility issues in some cases.
485 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
486 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
487 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
488 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
489 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
490 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
491 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
492 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
493 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
494 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
495 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
497 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
498 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
499 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
500 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
501 configuration in your application.
503 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
504 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
505 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
507 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
508 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
510 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
511 has been made private
512 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
513 the request parameters with undef + test
514 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
515 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
517 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
519 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
520 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
521 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
523 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
524 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
525 warning on recent Moose versions.
526 - Add delta documentation
527 - Clean up recursion errors
528 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
529 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
531 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
532 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
534 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
535 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
536 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
537 tries to chain to itself
539 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
540 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
541 - Tests for this (radek)
542 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
543 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
544 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
545 - Tests for this (radek)
546 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
547 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
548 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
549 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
551 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
552 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
554 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
556 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
557 in production versions
558 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
559 the correct metaclass
560 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
561 the restarter process
562 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
563 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
565 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
566 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
567 immutable restart correctly.
569 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
570 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
571 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
572 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
573 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
574 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
575 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
576 - namespace::clean related cleanups
577 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
578 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
579 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
580 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
581 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
582 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
583 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
584 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
585 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
586 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
587 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
588 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
589 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
591 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
592 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
593 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
596 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
