1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
5 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
6 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
7 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
10 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
13 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
16 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
17 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
19 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
22 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
25 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
27 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
29 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
31 Distribution META.yml changes:
32 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
33 mis-parses from the documentation.
34 - x_authority key added.
37 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
38 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
40 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
41 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
44 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
45 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
46 in bleadperl. RT#76437
48 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
49 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
52 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
53 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
55 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
56 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
57 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
59 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
62 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
63 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
64 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
65 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
66 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
67 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
69 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
71 - --background option for the server script now only closes
72 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
73 and other loggers which open a file handle when
74 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
75 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
76 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
79 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
82 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
83 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
84 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
85 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
87 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
90 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
93 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
94 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
95 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
96 included when not running from a checkout.
98 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
100 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
101 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
102 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
104 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
106 New features and refactoring:
107 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
108 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
109 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
111 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
112 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
113 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
116 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
117 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
118 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
120 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
122 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
123 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
124 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
125 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
126 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
127 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
129 Back compatibility fixes:
130 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
131 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
132 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
135 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
138 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
139 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
140 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
142 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
143 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
144 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
146 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
149 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
150 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
151 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
152 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
153 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
156 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
157 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
159 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
160 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
161 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
163 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
166 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
167 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
168 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
169 get them passed through to the application.
172 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
173 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
174 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
175 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
178 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
179 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
180 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
181 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
183 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
184 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
185 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
187 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
188 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
190 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
194 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
195 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
196 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
197 whereas before you had to say:
198 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
199 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
200 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
203 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
204 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
205 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
206 scripts in the application.
207 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
208 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
209 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
214 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
216 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
217 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
218 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
219 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
220 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
221 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
222 and provide an alternative.
224 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
228 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
231 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
234 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
236 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
237 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
238 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
239 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
240 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
241 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
245 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
246 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
248 Backward compatibility fixes:
250 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
251 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
255 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
256 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
258 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
260 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
262 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
263 Backward compatibility fixes:
265 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
266 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
268 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
272 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
273 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
274 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
276 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
278 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
279 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
281 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
285 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
287 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
289 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
291 Backward compatibility fixes:
293 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
295 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
296 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
297 for backward compatibility.
301 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
302 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
306 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
307 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
308 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
310 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
312 Backward compatibility fixes:
314 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
315 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
319 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
322 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
323 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
324 example) Coro is loaded.
326 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
327 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
329 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
330 using MooseX::Deamonize
332 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
333 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
334 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
335 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
336 deployed in these environments.
340 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
344 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
345 file for your application.
347 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
351 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
352 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
354 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
357 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
358 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
360 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
362 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
363 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
365 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
366 IO::Handle's behaviour.
368 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
369 was not breaking out correctly
371 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
372 to also work in the $c->component method.
374 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
375 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
376 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
378 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
380 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
382 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
384 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
385 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
388 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
390 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
393 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
397 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
398 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
399 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
401 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
404 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
406 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
407 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
408 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
410 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
413 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
414 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
415 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
416 the new major version of Catalyst.
419 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
420 of Catalyst has been much improved.
422 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
425 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
426 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
427 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
429 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
431 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
432 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
433 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
435 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
438 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
439 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
440 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
442 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
443 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
447 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
448 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
450 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
451 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
452 developers without changing their application code.
454 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
457 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
458 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
459 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
460 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
461 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
463 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
464 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
466 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
468 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
472 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
473 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
474 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
475 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
476 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
477 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
478 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
480 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
481 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
482 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
483 class, please tell us *now*.
485 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
488 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
490 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
491 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
492 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
493 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
494 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
495 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
498 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
499 the Content-Length header appropriately)
500 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
501 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
502 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
503 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
504 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
505 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
507 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
508 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
509 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
510 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
511 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
512 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
513 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
514 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
517 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
518 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
520 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
523 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
524 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
528 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
529 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
531 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
534 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
536 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
537 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
539 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
541 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
544 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
546 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
549 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
550 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
551 load Utils before MyApp.pm
553 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
556 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
558 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
559 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
560 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
561 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
562 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
564 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
567 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
568 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
569 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
572 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
573 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
578 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
581 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
584 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
585 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
586 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
587 the default action creation.
590 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
591 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
592 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
593 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
594 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
595 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
596 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
599 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
601 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
603 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
605 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
608 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
609 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
610 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
611 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
612 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
615 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
616 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
619 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
620 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
621 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
622 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
624 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
627 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
628 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
629 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
630 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
631 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
632 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
633 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
634 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
637 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
638 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
639 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
641 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
642 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
643 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
644 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
647 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
648 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
651 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
652 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
655 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
658 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
659 the content type and content length if available.
661 Refactoring / optimizations:
662 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
663 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
664 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
665 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
666 screen as easy to write.
667 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
668 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
669 in parameter filtering (for example).
670 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
671 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
672 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
673 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
674 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
677 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
678 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
679 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
680 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
682 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
685 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
686 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
688 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
691 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
692 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
694 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
697 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
698 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
699 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
700 which should not be encoded.
701 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
702 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
704 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
705 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
706 any set of args/captures.
708 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
709 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
711 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
715 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
717 - Various minor typo fixes.
720 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
722 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
725 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
726 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
727 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
730 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
731 - Clarify documentation about debug
734 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
735 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
736 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
738 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
741 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
742 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
746 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
747 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
749 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
750 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
751 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
752 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
753 argv key in the options hash.
754 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
755 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
756 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
757 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
759 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
763 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
764 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
765 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
766 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
767 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
769 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
773 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
774 encoding test controller.
776 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
778 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
779 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
780 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
781 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
783 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
784 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
785 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
786 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
787 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
789 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
793 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
794 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
795 less packed with information of no use.
799 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
801 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
803 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
804 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
805 the single character '0'.
806 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
809 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
810 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
811 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
813 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
815 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
816 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
817 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
818 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
819 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
820 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
821 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
822 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
823 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
824 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
825 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
826 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
828 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
829 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
831 Refactoring / cleanups:
832 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
833 (and then skipped) normally.
836 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
838 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
841 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
842 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
843 on the old behaviour.
845 Refactoring / cleanups:
846 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
847 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
849 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
852 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
853 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
854 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
855 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
856 as there is no recommended alternative.
857 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
858 fallback for fully qualified component names.
859 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
860 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
861 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
862 startup, rather than with the first hit.
863 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
864 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
865 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
866 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
867 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
868 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
869 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
870 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
873 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
874 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
875 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
876 deprecated and causes warnings).
877 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
878 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
879 in the correct order.
880 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
882 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
883 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
884 is deprecated (RT#51489)
887 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
888 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
889 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
890 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
891 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
893 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
894 exception classes need to implement.
895 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
896 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
899 Refactoring / cleanups:
900 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
901 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
902 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
903 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
904 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
905 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
906 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
908 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
911 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
912 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
913 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
914 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
916 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
917 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
918 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
921 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
922 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
925 Refactoring / cleanups:
926 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
927 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
928 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
929 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
930 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
932 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
935 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
936 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
937 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
938 now loaded at most once + tests.
939 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
940 is returned to 'actions'.
941 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
942 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
944 Refactoring / cleanups:
945 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
946 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
949 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
950 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
951 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
953 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
956 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
957 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
960 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
963 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
964 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
965 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
967 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
970 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
971 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
972 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
974 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
977 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
978 application class immutable without that option.
979 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
980 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
982 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
983 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
984 (hopefully) future versions.
985 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
986 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
988 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
990 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
991 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
992 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
993 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
994 Request-URI of the Request-Line
996 Refactoring / cleanups:
997 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
998 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
999 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1000 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1001 known issues with 5.8.3.
1002 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1003 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1006 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1007 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1008 for the controller namespace
1009 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1010 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1011 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1012 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1013 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1014 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1016 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1017 frontend port (jshirley)
1018 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1022 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1023 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1024 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1025 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1028 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1031 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1032 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1033 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1035 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1036 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1037 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1038 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1039 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1040 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1044 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1045 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1046 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1049 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1052 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1053 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1055 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1056 in some environments.
1057 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1058 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1059 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1060 except works correctly with closures.
1061 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1062 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1063 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1064 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1065 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1066 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1067 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1070 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1071 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1072 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1073 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1074 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1075 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1077 Refactoring / cleanups:
1078 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1079 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1080 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1081 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1083 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1084 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1085 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1087 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1088 again in Catalyst::Test
1090 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1093 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1094 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1097 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1100 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1101 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1102 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1104 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1107 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1108 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1111 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1112 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1116 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1117 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1118 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1119 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1120 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1122 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1123 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1124 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1125 controller naming. (random)
1126 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1127 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1128 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1129 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1130 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1132 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1134 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1135 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1136 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1138 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1139 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1140 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1141 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1142 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1143 to report 'Unknown Error'
1144 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1145 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1146 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1147 parse_on_demand is on
1149 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1150 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1151 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1152 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1153 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1154 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1155 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1156 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1157 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1159 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1160 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1161 Test::Aggregate is available.
1162 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1163 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1164 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1165 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1166 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1167 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1168 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1169 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1170 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1171 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1172 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1173 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1174 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1175 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1176 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1177 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1178 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1179 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1180 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1183 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1184 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1185 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1186 configuration in your application.
1188 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1189 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1190 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1192 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1193 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1195 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1196 has been made private
1197 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1198 the request parameters with undef + test
1199 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1200 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1202 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1204 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1205 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1206 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1208 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1209 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1210 warning on recent Moose versions.
1211 - Add delta documentation
1212 - Clean up recursion errors
1213 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1214 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1216 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1217 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1219 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1220 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1221 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1222 tries to chain to itself
1224 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1225 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1226 - Tests for this (radek)
1227 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1228 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1229 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1230 - Tests for this (radek)

1239 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1241 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1242 in production versions
1243 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1244 the correct metaclass
1245 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1246 the restarter process
1247 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1248 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed

1273 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1274 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1276 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1277 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
