1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
9 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
10 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
11 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
12 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
13 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar.. RT#50082
15 Refactoring / cleanups:
16 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
17 (and then skipped) normally.
20 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
22 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
25 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
26 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
29 Refactoring / cleanups:
30 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
31 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
33 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
36 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
37 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
38 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
39 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
40 as there is no recommended alternative.
41 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
42 fallback for fully qualified component names.
43 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
44 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
45 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
46 startup, rather than with the first hit.
47 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
48 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
49 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
50 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
51 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
52 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
53 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
54 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
57 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
58 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
59 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
60 deprecated and causes warnings).
61 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
62 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
64 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
66 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
67 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
68 is deprecated (RT#51489)
71 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
72 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
73 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
74 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
75 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
77 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
78 exception classes need to implement.
79 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
80 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
83 Refactoring / cleanups:
84 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
85 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
86 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
87 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
88 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
89 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
90 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
92 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
95 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
96 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
97 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
98 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
100 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
101 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
102 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
105 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
106 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
109 Refactoring / cleanups:
110 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
111 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
112 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
113 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
114 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
116 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
119 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
120 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
121 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
122 now loaded at most once + tests.
123 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
124 is returned to 'actions'.
125 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
126 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
128 Refactoring / cleanups:
129 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
130 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
133 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
134 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
135 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
137 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
140 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
141 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
144 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
147 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
148 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
149 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
151 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
154 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
155 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
156 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
158 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
161 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
162 application class immutable without that option.
163 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
164 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
166 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
167 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
168 (hopefully) future versions.
169 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
170 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
172 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
174 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
175 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
176 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
177 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
178 Request-URI of the Request-Line
180 Refactoring / cleanups:
181 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
182 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
183 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
184 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
185 known issues with 5.8.3.
186 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
187 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
190 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
191 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
192 for the controller namespace
193 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
194 expand_component_module (rjbs)
195 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
196 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
197 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
198 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
200 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
201 frontend port (jshirley)
202 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
206 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
207 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
208 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
209 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
212 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
215 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
216 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
217 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
219 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
220 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
221 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
222 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
223 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
224 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
228 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
229 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
230 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
233 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
236 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
237 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
239 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
240 in some environments.
241 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
242 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
243 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
244 except works correctly with closures.
245 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
246 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
247 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
249 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
250 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
251 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
254 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
255 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
256 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
257 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
258 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
259 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
261 Refactoring / cleanups:
262 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
263 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
264 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
265 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
267 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
268 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
269 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
271 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
272 again in Catalyst::Test
274 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
277 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
278 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
281 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
284 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
285 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
286 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
288 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
291 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
292 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
295 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
296 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
300 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
301 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
302 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
303 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
304 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
306 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
307 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
308 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application

311 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
312 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
313 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
314 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.

318 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
319 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
320 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
322 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
323 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
324 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
325 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
326 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
327 to report 'Unknown Error'
328 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
329 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
330 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
331 parse_on_demand is on

340 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
341 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
343 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
344 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
345 Test::Aggregate is available.
346 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
347 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
348 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

358 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
359 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
360 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
361 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
362 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
363 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
364 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
366 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
367 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
368 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
369 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
370 configuration in your application.
372 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
373 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
374 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
376 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
377 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

382 the request parameters with undef + test
383 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
384 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
386 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
388 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
389 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
390 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
392 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
393 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
394 warning on recent Moose versions.
395 - Add delta documentation
396 - Clean up recursion errors
397 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
398 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
400 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
401 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
403 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
404 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
405 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
406 tries to chain to itself
408 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
409 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
410 - Tests for this (radek)
411 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
412 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
413 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
414 - Tests for this (radek)
415 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
416 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
417 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
418 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
420 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
421 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
423 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
425 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
426 in production versions
427 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
428 the correct metaclass
429 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
430 the restarter process
431 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
432 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
434 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
435 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
436 immutable restart correctly.
438 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
439 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
440 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
441 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

452 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
453 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
454 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
455 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
456 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
457 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
458 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
460 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
461 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
462 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
465 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
468 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

495 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
496 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
497 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
499 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
500 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
501 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
502 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
503 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now

505 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
506 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
507 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache

510 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
511 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
513 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
514 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
515 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
516 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
517 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
518 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
520 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
521 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
523 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
524 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
525 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
527 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
528 test sync for engines easier
529 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
530 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
532 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
533 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
534 rather than the stringified ref.
535 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
536 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
537 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

539 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
541 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
542 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

545 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
546 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
547 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
548 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
549 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
550 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
551 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
552 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
553 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
554 the key from the instance hash
555 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
556 trivial delegation methods
557 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
558 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
559 Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
560 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
561 Catalyst::Request: _path
562 Catalyst::Stats: tree
563 - Fix issues in Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI
