1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
5 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
6 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
7 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
8 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
9 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
10 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
11 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
12 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
13 in behavior is compatible on its own.
14 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
15 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
16 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
17 - Some test and documentation improvements
19 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
20 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
21 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
22 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
25 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
26 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
29 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
30 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
32 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
33 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
35 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
37 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
38 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
40 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
42 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
43 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
44 of request or response classes.
46 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
47 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
48 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
49 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
50 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
51 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
52 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
53 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
54 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
55 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
57 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
58 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
59 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
60 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
61 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
63 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
65 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
66 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
68 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
70 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
71 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
72 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
75 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
78 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
81 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
82 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
84 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
87 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
90 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
92 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
94 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
96 Distribution META.yml changes:
97 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
98 mis-parses from the documentation.
99 - x_authority key added.
102 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
103 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
105 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
106 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
107 is less than helpful.
109 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
110 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
111 in bleadperl. RT#76437
113 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
114 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
117 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
118 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
120 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
121 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
122 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
124 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
127 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
128 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
129 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
130 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
131 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
132 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
134 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
136 - --background option for the server script now only closes
137 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
138 and other loggers which open a file handle when
139 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
140 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
141 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
144 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
147 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
148 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
149 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
150 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
152 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
155 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
158 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
159 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
160 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
161 included when not running from a checkout.
163 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
165 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
166 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
167 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
169 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
171 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
173 New features and refactoring:
174 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
175 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
176 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
178 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
179 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
180 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
183 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
184 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
185 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
187 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
189 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
190 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
191 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
192 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
193 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
194 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
196 Back compatibility fixes:
197 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
198 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
199 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
202 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
205 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
206 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
207 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
209 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
210 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
211 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
213 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
216 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
217 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
218 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
219 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
220 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
223 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
224 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
226 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
227 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
228 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
230 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
233 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
234 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
235 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
236 get them passed through to the application.
239 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
240 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
241 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
242 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
245 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
246 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
247 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
248 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
250 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
251 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
252 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
254 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
255 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
257 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
261 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
262 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
263 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
264 whereas before you had to say:
265 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
266 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
267 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
270 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
271 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
272 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
273 scripts in the application.
274 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
275 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
276 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
281 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
283 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
284 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
285 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
286 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
287 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
288 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
289 and provide an alternative.
291 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
295 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
298 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
301 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
303 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
304 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
305 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
306 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
307 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
308 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
312 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
313 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
315 Backward compatibility fixes:
317 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
318 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
322 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
323 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
325 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
327 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
329 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
330 Backward compatibility fixes:
332 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
333 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
335 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
339 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
340 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
341 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
343 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
345 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
346 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
348 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
352 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
354 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
356 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
358 Backward compatibility fixes:
360 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
362 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
363 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
364 for backward compatibility.
368 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
369 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
373 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
374 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
375 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
377 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
379 Backward compatibility fixes:
381 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
382 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
386 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
389 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
390 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
391 example) Coro is loaded.
393 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
394 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
396 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
397 using MooseX::Deamonize
399 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
400 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
401 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
402 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
403 deployed in these environments.
407 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
411 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
412 file for your application.
414 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
418 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
419 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
421 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
424 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
425 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
427 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
429 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
430 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
432 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
433 IO::Handle's behaviour.
435 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
436 was not breaking out correctly
438 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
439 to also work in the $c->component method.
441 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
442 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
443 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
445 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
447 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
449 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
451 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
452 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
455 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
457 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
460 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
464 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
465 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
466 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
468 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
471 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
473 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
474 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
475 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
477 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
480 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
481 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
482 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
483 the new major version of Catalyst.
486 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
487 of Catalyst has been much improved.
489 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
492 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
493 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
494 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
496 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
498 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
499 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
500 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
502 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
505 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
506 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
507 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
509 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
510 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
514 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
515 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
517 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
518 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
519 developers without changing their application code.
521 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
524 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
525 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
526 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
527 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
528 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
530 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
531 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
533 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
535 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
539 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
540 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
541 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
542 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
543 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
544 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
545 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
547 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
548 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
549 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
550 class, please tell us *now*.
552 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
555 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
557 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
558 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
559 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
560 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
561 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
562 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
565 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
566 the Content-Length header appropriately)
567 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
568 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
569 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
570 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
571 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
572 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
574 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
575 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
576 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
577 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
578 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
579 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
580 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
581 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
584 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
585 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
587 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
590 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
591 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
595 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
596 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
598 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
601 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
603 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
604 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
606 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
608 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
611 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
613 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
616 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
617 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
618 load Utils before MyApp.pm
620 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
623 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
625 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
626 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
627 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
628 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
629 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
631 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
634 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
635 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
636 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
639 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
640 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
645 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
648 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
651 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
652 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
653 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
654 the default action creation.
657 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
658 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
659 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
660 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
661 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
662 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
663 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
666 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
668 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
670 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
672 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
675 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
676 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
677 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
678 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
679 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
682 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
683 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
686 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
687 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
688 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
689 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
691 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
694 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
695 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
696 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
697 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
698 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
699 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
700 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
701 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
704 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
705 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
706 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
708 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
709 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
710 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
711 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
714 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
715 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
718 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
719 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
722 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
725 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
726 the content type and content length if available.
728 Refactoring / optimizations:
729 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
730 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
731 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
732 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
733 screen as easy to write.
734 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
735 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
736 in parameter filtering (for example).
737 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
738 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
739 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
740 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
741 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
744 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
745 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
746 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
747 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
749 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
752 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
753 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
755 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
758 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
759 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
761 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
764 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
765 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
766 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
767 which should not be encoded.
768 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
769 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
771 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
772 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
773 any set of args/captures.
775 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
776 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
778 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
782 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
784 - Various minor typo fixes.
787 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
789 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
792 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
793 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
794 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
797 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
798 - Clarify documentation about debug
801 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
802 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
803 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
805 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
808 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
809 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
813 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
814 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
816 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
817 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
818 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
819 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
820 argv key in the options hash.
821 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
822 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
823 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
824 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
826 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
830 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
831 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
832 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
833 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
834 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
836 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
840 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
841 encoding test controller.
843 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
845 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
846 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
847 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
848 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
850 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
851 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
852 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
853 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
854 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
856 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
860 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
861 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
862 less packed with information of no use.
866 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
868 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
870 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
871 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
872 the single character '0'.
873 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
876 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
877 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
878 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
880 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
882 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
883 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
884 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
885 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
886 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
887 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
888 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
889 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
890 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
891 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
892 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
893 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
895 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
896 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
898 Refactoring / cleanups:
899 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
900 (and then skipped) normally.
903 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
905 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
908 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
909 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
910 on the old behaviour.
912 Refactoring / cleanups:
913 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
914 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
916 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
919 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
920 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
921 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
922 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
923 as there is no recommended alternative.
924 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
925 fallback for fully qualified component names.
926 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
927 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
928 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
929 startup, rather than with the first hit.
930 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
931 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
932 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
933 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
934 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
935 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
936 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
937 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
940 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
941 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
942 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
943 deprecated and causes warnings).
944 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
945 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
946 in the correct order.
947 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
949 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
950 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
951 is deprecated (RT#51489)
954 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
955 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
956 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
957 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
958 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
960 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
961 exception classes need to implement.
962 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
963 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
966 Refactoring / cleanups:
967 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
968 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
969 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
970 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
971 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
972 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
973 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
975 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
978 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
979 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
980 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
981 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
983 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
984 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
985 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
988 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
989 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
992 Refactoring / cleanups:
993 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
994 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
995 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
996 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
997 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
999 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1002 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1003 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1004 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1005 now loaded at most once + tests.
1006 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1007 is returned to 'actions'.
1008 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1009 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1011 Refactoring / cleanups:
1012 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1013 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1016 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1017 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1018 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1020 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1023 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1024 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1027 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1030 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1031 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1032 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1034 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1037 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1038 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1039 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1041 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1044 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1045 application class immutable without that option.
1046 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1047 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1049 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1050 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1051 (hopefully) future versions.
1052 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1053 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1054 variables (RT#48555)
1055 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1057 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1058 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1059 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1060 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1061 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1063 Refactoring / cleanups:
1064 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1065 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1066 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1067 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1068 known issues with 5.8.3.
1069 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1070 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1073 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1074 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1075 for the controller namespace
1076 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1077 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1078 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1079 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1080 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1081 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1083 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1084 frontend port (jshirley)
1085 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1089 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1090 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1091 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1092 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1095 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1098 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1099 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1100 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1102 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1103 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1104 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1105 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1106 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1107 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1111 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1112 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1113 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1116 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1119 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1120 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1122 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1123 in some environments.
1124 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1125 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1126 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1127 except works correctly with closures.
1128 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1129 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1130 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1131 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1132 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1133 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1134 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1137 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1138 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1139 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1140 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1141 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1142 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1144 Refactoring / cleanups:
1145 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1146 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1147 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1148 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1150 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1151 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1152 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1154 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1155 again in Catalyst::Test
1157 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1160 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1161 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1164 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1167 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1168 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1169 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1171 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1174 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1175 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1178 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1179 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1183 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1184 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1185 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1186 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1187 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1189 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1190 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1191 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1192 controller naming. (random)
1193 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1194 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1195 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1196 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1197 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1199 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1201 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1202 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1203 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1205 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1206 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1207 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1208 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1209 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1210 to report 'Unknown Error'
1211 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1212 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1213 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1214 parse_on_demand is on
1216 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1217 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1218 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1219 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1220 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1221 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1222 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1223 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1224 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1226 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1227 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1228 Test::Aggregate is available.
1229 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1230 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1231 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1232 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1233 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1245 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1246 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1247 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1250 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1251 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1252 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1253 configuration in your application.
1255 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1256 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1257 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

1284 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1286 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1287 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1288 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1289 tries to chain to itself
1291 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1292 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1293 - Tests for this (radek)
1294 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1295 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1296 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1297 - Tests for this (radek)

1308 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1309 in production versions
1310 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1311 the correct metaclass
1312 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1313 the restarter process
1314 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1315 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1317 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1318 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1319 immutable restart correctly.
1321 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1322 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1335 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1336 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1338 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1339 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1340 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1341 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1343 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1344 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1345 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1404 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1406 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1407 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1432 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1433 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1434 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1605 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1606 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
