4 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
5 the content type and content length if available.
7 Refactoring / optimizations:
8 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
9 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
10 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
11 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
12 screen as easy to write.
13 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
14 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
15 in parameter filtering (for example).
16 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
17 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
18 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
19 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
20 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
23 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
24 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
25 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
26 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
28 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
31 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
32 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
34 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
37 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
38 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
40 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
43 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
44 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
45 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
46 which should not be encoded.
47 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
48 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
50 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
51 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
52 any set of args/captures.
54 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
55 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
57 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
61 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
63 - Various minor typo fixes.
66 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
68 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
71 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
72 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
73 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
76 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
77 - Clarify documentation about debug
80 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
81 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
82 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
84 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
87 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
88 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
92 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
93 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
95 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
96 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
97 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
98 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
99 argv key in the options hash.
100 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
101 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
102 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
103 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
105 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
109 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
110 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
111 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
112 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
113 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
115 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
119 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
120 encoding test controller.
122 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
124 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
125 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
126 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
127 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
129 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
130 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
131 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
132 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
133 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
135 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
139 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
140 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
141 less packed with information of no use.
145 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
147 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
149 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
150 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
151 the single character '0'.
152 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
155 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
156 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
157 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
159 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
161 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
162 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
163 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
164 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
165 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
166 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
167 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
168 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
169 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
170 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
171 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
172 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
174 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
175 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
177 Refactoring / cleanups:
178 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
179 (and then skipped) normally.
182 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
184 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
187 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
188 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
189 on the old behaviour.
191 Refactoring / cleanups:
192 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
193 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
195 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
198 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
199 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
200 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
201 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
202 as there is no recommended alternative.
203 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
204 fallback for fully qualified component names.
205 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
206 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
207 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
208 startup, rather than with the first hit.
209 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
210 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
211 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
212 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
213 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
214 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
215 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
216 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
219 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
220 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
221 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
222 deprecated and causes warnings).
223 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
224 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
225 in the correct order.
226 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
228 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
229 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
230 is deprecated (RT#51489)
233 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
234 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
235 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
236 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
237 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
239 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
240 exception classes need to implement.
241 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
242 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
245 Refactoring / cleanups:
246 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
247 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
248 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
249 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
250 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
251 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
252 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
254 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
257 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
258 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
259 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
260 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
262 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
263 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
264 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
267 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
268 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
271 Refactoring / cleanups:
272 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
273 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
274 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
275 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
276 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
278 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
281 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
282 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
283 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
284 now loaded at most once + tests.
285 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
286 is returned to 'actions'.
287 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
288 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
290 Refactoring / cleanups:
291 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
292 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
295 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
296 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
297 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
299 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
302 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
303 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
306 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
309 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
310 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
311 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
313 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
316 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
317 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
318 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
320 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
323 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
324 application class immutable without that option.
325 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
326 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
328 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
329 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
330 (hopefully) future versions.
331 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
332 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
334 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
336 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
337 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
338 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
339 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
340 Request-URI of the Request-Line
342 Refactoring / cleanups:
343 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
344 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
345 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
346 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
347 known issues with 5.8.3.
348 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
349 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
352 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
353 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
354 for the controller namespace
355 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
356 expand_component_module (rjbs)
357 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
358 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
359 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
360 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
362 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
363 frontend port (jshirley)
364 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
368 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
369 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
370 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
371 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
374 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
377 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
378 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
379 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
381 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
382 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
383 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
384 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
385 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
386 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
390 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
391 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
392 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
395 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
398 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
399 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
401 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
402 in some environments.
403 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
404 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
405 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
406 except works correctly with closures.
407 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
408 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
409 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
411 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
412 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
413 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
416 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
417 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
418 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
419 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
420 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
421 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
423 Refactoring / cleanups:
424 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
425 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
426 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
427 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
429 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
430 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
431 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
433 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
434 again in Catalyst::Test
436 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
439 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
440 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
443 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
446 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
447 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
448 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
450 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
453 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
454 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
457 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
458 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
462 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
463 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
464 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
465 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
466 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
468 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
469 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
470 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
471 controller naming. (random)
472 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
473 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
474 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
475 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
476 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
478 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
480 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
481 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
482 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
484 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
485 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
486 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
487 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
488 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
489 to report 'Unknown Error'
490 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
491 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
492 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
493 parse_on_demand is on
495 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
496 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
497 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
498 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
499 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
500 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
501 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
502 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
503 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
505 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
506 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
507 Test::Aggregate is available.
508 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
509 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
510 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
511 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
512 disabling functionality from base controllers.
513 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
514 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
515 incompatibility issues in some cases.
516 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
517 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
518 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
519 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
520 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
521 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
522 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
523 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
524 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
525 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
526 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
528 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
529 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
530 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
531 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
532 configuration in your application.
534 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
535 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
536 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
538 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
539 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
541 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
542 has been made private
543 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
544 the request parameters with undef + test
545 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
546 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
548 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
550 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
551 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
552 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
554 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
555 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
556 warning on recent Moose versions.
557 - Add delta documentation
558 - Clean up recursion errors
559 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
560 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
562 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
563 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
565 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
566 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
567 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
568 tries to chain to itself
570 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
571 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
572 - Tests for this (radek)
573 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
574 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
575 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
576 - Tests for this (radek)
577 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
578 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
579 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
580 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
582 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
583 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
585 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
587 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
588 in production versions
589 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
590 the correct metaclass
591 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
592 the restarter process
593 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
594 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
596 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
597 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
598 immutable restart correctly.

614 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
615 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
616 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
617 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
618 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
619 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
620 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
622 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
623 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
624 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
627 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

683 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
