1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
5 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
6 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
7 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
8 as there is no recommended alternative.
9 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
10 fallback for fully qualified component names.
11 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
12 - Require HTTP::Request 5.814 and HTTP::Response 5.813 from LWP 5.814
14 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
15 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
16 startup, rather than with the first hit.
17 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
18 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
19 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
20 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
21 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
22 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
23 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
24 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
27 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
28 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
29 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
30 deprecated and causes warnings).
31 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
32 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
34 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
36 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
39 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
40 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
41 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
42 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
43 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
46 Refactoring / cleanups:
47 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
48 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
49 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
50 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
51 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
52 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
53 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
55 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
58 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
59 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
60 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
61 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
63 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
64 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
65 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
68 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
69 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
72 Refactoring / cleanups:
73 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
74 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
75 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
76 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
77 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
79 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
82 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
83 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
84 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
85 now loaded at most once + tests.
86 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
87 is returned to 'actions'.
88 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
89 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
91 Refactoring / cleanups:
92 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
93 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
96 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
97 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
98 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
100 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
103 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
104 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
107 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
110 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
111 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
112 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
114 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
117 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
118 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
119 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
121 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
124 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
125 application class immutable without that option.
126 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
127 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
129 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
130 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
131 (hopefully) future versions.
132 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
133 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
135 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
137 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
138 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
139 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
140 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
141 Request-URI of the Request-Line
143 Refactoring / cleanups:
144 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
145 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
146 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
147 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
148 known issues with 5.8.3.
149 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
150 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
153 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
154 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
155 for the controller namespace
156 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
157 expand_component_module (rjbs)
158 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
159 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
160 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
161 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
163 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
164 frontend port (jshirley)
165 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
169 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
170 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
171 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
172 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
175 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
178 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
179 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
180 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
182 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
183 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
184 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
185 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
186 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
187 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
191 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
192 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
193 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
196 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
199 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
200 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
202 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
203 in some environments.
204 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
205 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
206 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
207 except works correctly with closures.
208 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
209 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
210 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
212 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
213 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
214 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
217 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
218 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
219 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
220 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
221 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
222 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
224 Refactoring / cleanups:
225 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
226 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
227 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
228 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
230 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
231 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
232 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
234 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
235 again in Catalyst::Test
237 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
240 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
241 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
244 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
247 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
248 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
249 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
251 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
254 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
255 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
258 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
259 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
263 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
264 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
265 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
266 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
267 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
269 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
270 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
271 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
272 controller naming. (random)

274 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
275 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
276 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
277 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
279 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
281 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
282 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
283 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
285 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
286 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
287 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
288 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
289 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
290 to report 'Unknown Error'
291 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
292 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
293 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
294 parse_on_demand is on

303 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
304 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
306 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
307 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
308 Test::Aggregate is available.
309 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
310 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
311 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
312 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
313 disabling functionality from base controllers.
314 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
315 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
316 incompatibility issues in some cases.

321 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
322 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
323 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
324 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
325 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
326 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
327 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
329 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
330 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
331 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
332 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
333 configuration in your application.
335 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
336 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
337 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
339 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
340 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

345 the request parameters with undef + test
346 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
347 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
349 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
351 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying

357 warning on recent Moose versions.
358 - Add delta documentation
359 - Clean up recursion errors
360 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
361 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
363 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
364 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
366 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
367 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
368 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
369 tries to chain to itself
371 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
372 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
373 - Tests for this (radek)
374 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
375 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
376 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
377 - Tests for this (radek)
378 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
379 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
380 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
381 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
383 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
384 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
386 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
388 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
389 in production versions
390 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
391 the correct metaclass
392 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
393 the restarter process
394 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
395 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
397 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
398 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
399 immutable restart correctly.
401 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
402 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
403 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
404 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

415 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
416 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
417 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
418 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
419 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
420 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
421 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
423 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
424 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
425 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
428 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

460 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
462 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
463 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
464 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

476 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
477 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
478 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
479 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
480 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
481 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
483 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
484 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
486 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
487 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
488 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
490 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
491 test sync for engines easier
492 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
493 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
495 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
496 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher

504 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
505 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
506 die, as it didn't in 5.70

509 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
510 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
511 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
512 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
513 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
514 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
515 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
516 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
517 the key from the instance hash
518 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
519 trivial delegation methods

557 method is overridden by a plugin, and calls the base method,
558 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
559 - Test for this (caelum)
560 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to

641 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
642 method with a regex as the argument
