1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions
5 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger
6 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout
7 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
8 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN
11 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
12 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
13 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
14 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
15 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
16 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
17 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
18 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
19 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
20 in behavior is compatible on its own.
21 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
22 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
23 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
24 - Some test and documentation improvements
26 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
27 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
28 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
29 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
32 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
33 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
36 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
37 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
39 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
40 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
42 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
44 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
45 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
47 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
49 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
50 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
51 of request or response classes.
53 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
54 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
55 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
56 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
57 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
58 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
59 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
60 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
61 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
62 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
64 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
65 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
66 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
67 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
68 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
70 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
72 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
73 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
75 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
77 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
78 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
79 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
82 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
85 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
88 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
89 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
91 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
94 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
97 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
99 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
101 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
103 Distribution META.yml changes:
104 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
105 mis-parses from the documentation.
106 - x_authority key added.
109 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
110 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
112 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
113 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
114 is less than helpful.
116 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
117 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
118 in bleadperl. RT#76437
120 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
121 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
124 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
125 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
127 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
128 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
129 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
131 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
134 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
135 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
136 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
137 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
138 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
139 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
141 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
143 - --background option for the server script now only closes
144 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
145 and other loggers which open a file handle when
146 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
147 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
148 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
151 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
154 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
155 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
156 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
157 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
159 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
162 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
165 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
166 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
167 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
168 included when not running from a checkout.
170 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
172 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
173 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
174 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
176 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
178 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
180 New features and refactoring:
181 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
182 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
183 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
185 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
186 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
187 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
190 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
191 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
192 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
194 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
196 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
197 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
198 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
199 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
200 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
201 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
203 Back compatibility fixes:
204 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
205 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
206 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
209 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
212 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
213 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
214 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
216 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
217 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
218 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
220 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
223 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
224 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
225 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
226 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
227 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
230 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
231 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
233 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
234 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
235 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
237 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
240 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
241 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
242 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
243 get them passed through to the application.
246 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
247 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
248 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
249 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
252 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
253 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
254 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
255 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
257 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
258 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
259 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
261 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
262 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
264 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
268 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
269 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
270 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
271 whereas before you had to say:
272 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
273 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
274 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
277 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
278 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
279 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
280 scripts in the application.
281 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
282 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
283 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
288 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
290 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
291 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
292 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
293 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
294 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
295 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
296 and provide an alternative.
298 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
302 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
305 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
308 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
310 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
311 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
312 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
313 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
314 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
315 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
319 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
320 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
322 Backward compatibility fixes:
324 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
325 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
329 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
330 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
332 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
334 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
336 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
337 Backward compatibility fixes:
339 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
340 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
342 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
346 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
347 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
348 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
350 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
352 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
353 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
355 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
359 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
361 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
363 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
365 Backward compatibility fixes:
367 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
369 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
370 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
371 for backward compatibility.
375 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
376 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
380 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
381 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
382 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
384 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
386 Backward compatibility fixes:
388 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
389 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
393 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
396 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
397 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
398 example) Coro is loaded.
400 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
401 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
403 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
404 using MooseX::Deamonize
406 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
407 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
408 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
409 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
410 deployed in these environments.
414 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
418 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
419 file for your application.
421 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
425 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
426 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
428 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
431 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
432 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
434 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
436 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
437 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
439 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
440 IO::Handle's behaviour.
442 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
443 was not breaking out correctly
445 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
446 to also work in the $c->component method.
448 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
449 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
450 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
452 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
454 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
456 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
458 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
459 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
462 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
464 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
467 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
471 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
472 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
473 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
475 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
478 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
480 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
481 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
482 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
484 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
487 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
488 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
489 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
490 the new major version of Catalyst.
493 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
494 of Catalyst has been much improved.
496 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
499 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
500 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
501 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
503 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
505 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
506 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
507 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
509 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
512 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
513 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
514 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
516 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
517 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
521 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
522 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
524 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
525 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
526 developers without changing their application code.
528 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
531 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
532 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
533 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
534 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
535 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
537 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
538 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
540 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
542 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
546 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
547 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
548 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
549 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
550 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
551 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
552 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
554 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
555 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
556 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
557 class, please tell us *now*.
559 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
562 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
564 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
565 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
566 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
567 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
568 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
569 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
572 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
573 the Content-Length header appropriately)
574 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
575 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
576 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
577 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
578 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
579 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
581 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
582 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
583 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
584 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
585 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
586 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
587 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
588 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
591 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
592 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
594 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
597 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
598 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
602 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
603 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
605 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
608 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
610 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
611 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
613 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
615 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
618 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
620 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
623 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
624 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
625 load Utils before MyApp.pm
627 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
630 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
632 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
633 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
634 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
635 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
636 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
638 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
641 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
642 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
643 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
646 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
647 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
652 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
655 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
658 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
659 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
660 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
661 the default action creation.
664 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
665 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
666 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
667 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
668 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
669 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
670 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
673 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
675 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
677 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
679 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
682 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
683 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
684 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
685 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
686 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
689 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
690 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
693 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
694 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
695 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
696 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
698 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
701 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
702 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
703 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
704 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
705 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
706 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
707 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
708 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
711 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
712 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
713 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
715 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
716 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
717 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
718 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
721 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
722 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
725 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
726 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
729 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
732 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
733 the content type and content length if available.
735 Refactoring / optimizations:
736 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
737 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
738 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
739 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
740 screen as easy to write.
741 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
742 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
743 in parameter filtering (for example).
744 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
745 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
746 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
747 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
748 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
751 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
752 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
753 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
754 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
756 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
759 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
760 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
762 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
765 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
766 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
768 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
771 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
772 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
773 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
774 which should not be encoded.
775 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
776 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
778 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
779 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
780 any set of args/captures.
782 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
783 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
785 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
789 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
791 - Various minor typo fixes.
794 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
796 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
799 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
800 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
801 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
804 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
805 - Clarify documentation about debug
808 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
809 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
810 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
812 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
815 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
816 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
820 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
821 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
823 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
824 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
825 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
826 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
827 argv key in the options hash.
828 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
829 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
830 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
831 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
833 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
837 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
838 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
839 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
840 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
841 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
843 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
847 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
848 encoding test controller.
850 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
852 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
853 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
854 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
855 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
857 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
858 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
859 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
860 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
861 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
863 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
867 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
868 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
869 less packed with information of no use.
873 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
875 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
877 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
878 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
879 the single character '0'.
880 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
883 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
884 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
885 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
887 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
889 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
890 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
891 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
892 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
893 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
894 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
895 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
896 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
897 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
898 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
899 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
900 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
902 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
903 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
905 Refactoring / cleanups:
906 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
907 (and then skipped) normally.
910 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
912 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
915 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
916 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
917 on the old behaviour.
919 Refactoring / cleanups:
920 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
921 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
923 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
926 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
927 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
928 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
929 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
930 as there is no recommended alternative.
931 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
932 fallback for fully qualified component names.
933 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
934 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
935 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
936 startup, rather than with the first hit.
937 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
938 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
939 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
940 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
941 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
942 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
943 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
944 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
947 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
948 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
949 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
950 deprecated and causes warnings).
951 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
952 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
953 in the correct order.
954 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
956 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
957 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
958 is deprecated (RT#51489)
961 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
962 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
963 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
964 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
965 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
967 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
968 exception classes need to implement.
969 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
970 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
973 Refactoring / cleanups:
974 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
975 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
976 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
977 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
978 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
979 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
980 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
982 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
985 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
986 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
987 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
988 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
990 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
991 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
992 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
995 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
996 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
999 Refactoring / cleanups:
1000 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1001 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1002 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1003 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1004 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1006 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1009 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1010 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1011 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1012 now loaded at most once + tests.
1013 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1014 is returned to 'actions'.
1015 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1016 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1018 Refactoring / cleanups:
1019 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1020 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1023 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1024 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1025 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1027 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1030 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1031 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1034 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1037 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1038 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1039 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1041 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1044 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1045 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1046 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1048 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1051 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1052 application class immutable without that option.
1053 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1054 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1056 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1057 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1058 (hopefully) future versions.
1059 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1060 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1061 variables (RT#48555)
1062 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1064 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1065 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1066 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1067 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1068 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1070 Refactoring / cleanups:
1071 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1072 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1073 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1074 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1075 known issues with 5.8.3.
1076 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1077 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1080 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1081 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1082 for the controller namespace
1083 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1084 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1085 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1086 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1087 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1088 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1090 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1091 frontend port (jshirley)
1092 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1096 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1097 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1098 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1099 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1102 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1105 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1106 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1107 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1109 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1110 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1111 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1112 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1113 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1114 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1118 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1119 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1120 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1123 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1126 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1127 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1129 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1130 in some environments.
1131 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1132 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1133 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1134 except works correctly with closures.
1135 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1136 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1137 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1138 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1139 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1140 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1141 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1144 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1145 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1146 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1147 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1148 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1149 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1151 Refactoring / cleanups:
1152 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1153 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1154 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1155 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1157 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1158 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1159 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1161 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1162 again in Catalyst::Test
1164 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1167 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1168 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1171 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1174 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1175 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1176 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1178 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1181 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1182 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1185 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1186 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1190 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1191 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1192 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1193 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1194 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1196 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1197 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1198 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1199 controller naming. (random)
1200 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1201 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1202 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1203 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1204 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1206 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1208 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1209 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1210 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1212 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1213 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1214 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1215 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1216 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1217 to report 'Unknown Error'
1218 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1219 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1220 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1221 parse_on_demand is on
1223 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1224 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1225 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1226 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1227 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1234 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1235 Test::Aggregate is available.
1236 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1237 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1238 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1239 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1240 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1253 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1254 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1256 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1257 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1258 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1259 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1260 configuration in your application.
1262 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1263 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1264 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

1291 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1293 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1294 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1295 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1296 tries to chain to itself
1298 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1299 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1300 - Tests for this (radek)
1301 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1302 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1303 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1304 - Tests for this (radek)

1313 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1315 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1316 in production versions
1317 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1318 the correct metaclass
1319 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1320 the restarter process
1321 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1322 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1324 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1325 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1326 immutable restart correctly.
1328 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1329 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1341 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1342 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1343 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1345 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1346 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1347 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1348 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1350 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1351 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1352 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1389 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1390 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1391 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1411 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1413 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1414 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1439 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1440 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1441 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1612 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1613 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
