3 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
4 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
5 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
7 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
8 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
11 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
12 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
13 existing Plack conventions.
14 - Modify Catayst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
15 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
16 - Modified Catayst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
17 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
18 don't bubble back up to the main application.
19 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
20 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
21 I highly suggest you test this release.
22 - We alway do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
23 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
24 correct if incorrect :)
25 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
26 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
27 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specificed via the encoding configuration value).
28 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
29 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
30 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
31 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
32 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
33 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
35 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
36 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional methd 'write_encoded' that just
37 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
39 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
40 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
41 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
42 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
46 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
47 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
48 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
49 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
50 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
53 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
54 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
55 HTTP Exception middleware.
58 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
59 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
60 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
61 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
62 you really need to review this exploit.
65 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
68 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
69 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
70 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
71 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
73 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
76 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
77 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
78 so you can go to hunt it out.
81 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
82 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
83 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
84 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
85 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
86 - Added italian translation of default error.
89 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
92 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
93 certain tests. No other changes.
96 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
97 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
98 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
100 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
102 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
104 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
108 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
109 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
110 questions or problems!
111 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
112 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
113 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
114 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
115 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
116 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
117 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
118 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
119 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
122 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
123 - documentation and test fixes
126 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
127 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
128 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
129 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
130 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
131 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
132 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
135 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
136 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
139 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
140 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
141 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
142 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
143 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
144 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
145 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
146 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
148 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
151 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
152 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
155 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
156 introduced by a change in December.
159 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
162 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
163 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
164 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
165 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
166 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
169 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
170 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
171 reported while installing.
172 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
173 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
174 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
175 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
176 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
177 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
178 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
179 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
180 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
181 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
182 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
183 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
184 - update copyright notices.
186 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
187 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
188 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
189 fails to install (sorry).
190 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
191 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
192 middleware deal with it.
194 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
195 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
196 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
197 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
198 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
199 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
200 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
201 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
202 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
204 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
205 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
206 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
207 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
208 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
209 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
210 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
211 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
212 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
213 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
215 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
216 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
217 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
218 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
222 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
223 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
224 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
225 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
226 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
227 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
231 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
232 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
233 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
235 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
236 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
237 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
239 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
240 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
241 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
242 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
244 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
245 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
246 - Various POD formating fixed.
247 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
248 accept and issues that might arise.
251 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
252 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
255 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
256 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
257 for internal methods:
259 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
260 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
261 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
263 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
264 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
265 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
266 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
268 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
269 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
270 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
272 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
273 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
274 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
275 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
276 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
278 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
279 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
280 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
281 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
282 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
283 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
284 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
285 cases to reflect this change.
287 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
288 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
289 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
290 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
291 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
292 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
293 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
294 those keys already exist). Keys added:
295 - plack.request.query
297 - plack.request.merged
298 - plack.request.http.body
299 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
300 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
301 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
302 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
303 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
304 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
305 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
306 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
307 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
308 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
309 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
310 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
311 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
312 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
313 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
314 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
315 is a scalar or arrayref.
316 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
317 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
319 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
320 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
321 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
323 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
324 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
325 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
326 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
327 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
328 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
329 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
330 a development setup (ether++)
332 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
333 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
334 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
335 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
336 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
337 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
338 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
339 case t/data_handler.t
341 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
342 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
343 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
344 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
345 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
348 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
349 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
350 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
351 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
353 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
355 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
359 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
360 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
361 this fixes all of them.
362 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
363 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
364 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
365 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
367 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
370 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
371 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
372 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
373 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
374 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
375 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
376 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
378 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
379 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
380 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
381 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
382 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
383 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
385 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
386 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
387 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
388 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
389 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
390 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
391 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
392 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
394 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
397 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
398 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
399 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
400 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
401 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
402 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
404 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
405 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
406 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
407 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
408 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
409 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
412 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
413 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
414 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
415 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
416 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
417 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
418 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
419 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
420 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
421 in behavior is compatible on its own.
422 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
423 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
424 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
425 - Some test and documentation improvements
427 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
428 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
429 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
430 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
433 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
434 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
437 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
438 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
440 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
441 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
443 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
445 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
446 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
448 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
450 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
451 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
452 of request or response classes.
454 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
455 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
456 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
457 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
458 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
459 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
460 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
461 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
462 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
463 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
465 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
466 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
467 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
468 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
469 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
471 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
473 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
474 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
476 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
478 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
479 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
480 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
483 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
486 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
489 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
490 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
492 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
495 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
498 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
500 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
502 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
504 Distribution META.yml changes:
505 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
506 mis-parses from the documentation.
507 - x_authority key added.
510 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
511 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
513 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
514 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
515 is less than helpful.
517 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
518 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
519 in bleadperl. RT#76437
521 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
522 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
525 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
526 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
528 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
529 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
530 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
532 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
535 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
536 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
537 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
538 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
539 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
540 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
542 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
544 - --background option for the server script now only closes
545 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
546 and other loggers which open a file handle when
547 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
548 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
549 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
552 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
555 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
556 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
557 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
558 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
560 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
563 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
566 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
567 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
568 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
569 included when not running from a checkout.
571 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
573 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
574 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
575 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
577 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
579 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
581 New features and refactoring:
582 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
583 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
584 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
586 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
587 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
588 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
591 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
592 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
593 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
595 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
597 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
598 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
599 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
600 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
601 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
602 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
604 Back compatibility fixes:
605 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
606 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
607 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
610 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
613 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
614 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
615 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
617 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
618 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
619 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
621 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
624 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
625 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
626 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
627 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
628 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
631 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
632 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
634 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
635 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
636 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
638 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
641 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
642 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
643 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
644 get them passed through to the application.
647 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
648 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
649 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
650 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
653 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
654 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
655 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
656 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
658 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
659 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
660 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
662 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
663 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
665 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
669 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
670 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
671 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
672 whereas before you had to say:
673 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
674 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
675 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
678 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
679 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
680 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
681 scripts in the application.
682 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
683 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
684 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
689 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
691 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
692 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
693 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
694 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
695 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
696 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
697 and provide an alternative.
699 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
703 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
706 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
709 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
711 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
712 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
713 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
714 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
715 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
716 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
720 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
721 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
723 Backward compatibility fixes:
725 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
726 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
730 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
731 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
733 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
735 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
737 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
738 Backward compatibility fixes:
740 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
741 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
743 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
747 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
748 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
749 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
751 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
753 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
754 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
756 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
760 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
762 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
764 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
766 Backward compatibility fixes:
768 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
770 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
771 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
772 for backward compatibility.
776 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
777 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
781 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
782 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
783 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
785 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
787 Backward compatibility fixes:
789 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
790 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
794 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
797 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
798 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
799 example) Coro is loaded.
801 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
802 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
804 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
805 using MooseX::Deamonize
807 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
808 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
809 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
810 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
811 deployed in these environments.
815 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
819 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
820 file for your application.
822 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
826 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
827 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
829 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
832 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
833 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
835 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
837 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
838 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
840 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
841 IO::Handle's behaviour.
843 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
844 was not breaking out correctly
846 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
847 to also work in the $c->component method.
849 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
850 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
851 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
853 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
855 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
857 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
859 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
860 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
863 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
865 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
868 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
872 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
873 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
874 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
876 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
879 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
881 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
882 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
883 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
885 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
888 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
889 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
890 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
891 the new major version of Catalyst.
894 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
895 of Catalyst has been much improved.
897 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
900 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
901 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
902 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
904 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
906 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
907 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
908 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
910 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
913 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
914 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
915 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
917 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
918 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
922 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
923 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
925 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
926 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
927 developers without changing their application code.
929 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
932 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
933 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
934 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
935 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
936 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
938 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
939 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
941 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
943 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
947 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
948 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
949 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
950 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
951 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
952 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
953 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
955 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
956 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
957 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
958 class, please tell us *now*.
960 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
963 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
965 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
966 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
967 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
968 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
969 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
970 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
973 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
974 the Content-Length header appropriately)
975 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
976 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
977 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
978 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
979 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
980 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
982 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
983 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
984 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
985 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
986 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
987 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
988 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
989 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
992 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
993 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
995 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
998 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
999 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1003 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1004 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1006 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1009 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1011 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1012 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1014 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1016 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1019 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1021 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1024 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1025 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1026 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1028 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1031 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1033 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1034 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1035 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1036 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1037 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1039 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1042 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1043 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1044 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1047 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1048 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1053 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1056 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1059 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1060 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1061 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1062 the default action creation.
1065 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1066 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1067 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1068 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1069 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1070 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1071 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1074 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1076 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1078 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1080 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1083 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1084 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1085 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1086 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1087 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1090 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1091 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1094 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1095 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1096 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1097 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1099 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1102 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1103 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1104 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1105 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1106 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1107 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1108 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1109 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1112 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1113 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1114 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1116 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1117 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1118 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1119 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1122 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1123 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1126 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1127 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1130 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1133 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1134 the content type and content length if available.
1136 Refactoring / optimizations:
1137 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1138 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1139 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1140 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1141 screen as easy to write.
1142 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1143 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1144 in parameter filtering (for example).
1145 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1146 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1147 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1148 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1149 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1152 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1153 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1154 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1155 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1157 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1160 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1161 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1163 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1166 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1167 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1169 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1172 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1173 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1174 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1175 which should not be encoded.
1176 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1177 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1179 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1180 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1181 any set of args/captures.
1183 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1184 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1186 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1190 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1192 - Various minor typo fixes.
1195 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1197 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1200 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1201 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1202 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1205 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1206 - Clarify documentation about debug
1209 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1210 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1211 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1213 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1216 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1217 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1221 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1222 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1224 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1225 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1226 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1227 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1228 argv key in the options hash.
1229 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1230 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1231 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1232 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1234 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1238 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1239 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1240 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1241 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1242 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1244 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1248 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1249 encoding test controller.
1251 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1253 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1254 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1256 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1258 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1259 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1260 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1261 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1262 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1264 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1268 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1269 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1270 less packed with information of no use.
1274 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1276 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1278 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1279 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1280 the single character '0'.
1281 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1284 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1285 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1286 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1288 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1290 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1291 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1292 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1293 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1294 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1295 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1296 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1297 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1298 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1299 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1300 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1301 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1303 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1304 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1306 Refactoring / cleanups:
1307 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1308 (and then skipped) normally.
1311 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1313 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1316 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1317 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1318 on the old behaviour.
1320 Refactoring / cleanups:
1321 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1322 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1324 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1327 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1328 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1329 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1330 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1331 as there is no recommended alternative.
1332 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1333 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1334 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1335 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1336 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1337 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1338 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1339 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1340 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1341 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1342 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1343 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1344 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1345 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1348 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1349 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1350 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1351 deprecated and causes warnings).
1352 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1353 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1354 in the correct order.
1355 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1357 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1358 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1359 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1362 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1363 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1364 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1365 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1366 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1368 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1369 exception classes need to implement.
1370 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1371 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1374 Refactoring / cleanups:
1375 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1376 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1377 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1378 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1379 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1380 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1381 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1383 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1386 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1387 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1388 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1389 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1391 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1392 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1393 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1396 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1397 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1400 Refactoring / cleanups:
1401 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1402 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1403 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1404 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1405 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1407 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1410 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1411 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1412 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1413 now loaded at most once + tests.
1414 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1415 is returned to 'actions'.
1416 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1417 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1419 Refactoring / cleanups:
1420 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1421 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1424 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1425 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1426 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1428 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1431 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1432 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1435 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1438 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1439 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1440 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1442 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1445 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1446 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1447 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1449 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1452 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1453 application class immutable without that option.
1454 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1455 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1457 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1458 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1459 (hopefully) future versions.
1460 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1461 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1462 variables (RT#48555)
1463 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1465 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1466 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1467 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1468 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1469 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1471 Refactoring / cleanups:
1472 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1473 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1474 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1475 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1476 known issues with 5.8.3.
1477 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1478 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1481 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1482 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1483 for the controller namespace
1484 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1485 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1486 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1487 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1488 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1489 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1491 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1492 frontend port (jshirley)
1493 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1497 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1498 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1499 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1500 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1503 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1506 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1507 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1508 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1510 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1511 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1512 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1513 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1514 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1515 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1519 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1520 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1521 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1524 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1527 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1528 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1530 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1531 in some environments.
1532 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1533 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1534 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1535 except works correctly with closures.
1536 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1537 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1538 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1539 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1540 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1541 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1542 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1545 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1546 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1547 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1548 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1549 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1550 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1552 Refactoring / cleanups:
1553 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1554 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1555 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1556 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1558 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1559 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1560 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1562 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1563 again in Catalyst::Test
1565 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1568 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1569 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1572 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1575 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1576 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1577 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1579 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1582 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1583 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1586 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1587 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1591 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1592 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1593 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1594 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1595 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1597 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1598 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1599 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1600 controller naming. (random)
1601 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1602 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1603 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1604 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1605 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1607 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1611 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1613 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1614 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1615 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1616 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1617 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1618 to report 'Unknown Error'
1619 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1620 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1621 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1622 parse_on_demand is on
1624 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1625 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1626 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1627 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1628 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1629 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1631 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1632 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1634 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1635 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1636 Test::Aggregate is available.
1637 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1638 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1639 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1640 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1641 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1642 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1643 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1644 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1646 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1647 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1648 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1649 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1650 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1651 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1652 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1653 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1654 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1655 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1658 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1659 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1660 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1661 configuration in your application.
1663 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1664 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1665 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1667 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1668 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1670 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1671 has been made private
1672 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1673 the request parameters with undef + test
1674 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1675 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1677 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1679 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1680 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1681 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1683 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1684 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1685 warning on recent Moose versions.
1686 - Add delta documentation
1687 - Clean up recursion errors
1688 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1689 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1691 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1692 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1694 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1695 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1696 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1697 tries to chain to itself
1699 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1700 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1701 - Tests for this (radek)
1702 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1703 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1704 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1705 - Tests for this (radek)
1706 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1707 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1708 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1709 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1711 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1712 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1714 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1716 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1717 in production versions
1718 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1719 the correct metaclass
1720 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1721 the restarter process
1722 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1723 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1725 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1726 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1727 immutable restart correctly.

1746 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1747 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1748 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1749 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1751 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1752 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
