1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
6 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
10 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
11 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
12 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
13 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
14 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
15 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
16 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
17 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
19 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
22 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
23 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
26 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
27 introduced by a change in December.
30 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
33 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
34 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
35 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
36 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
37 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
40 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
41 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
42 reported while installing.
43 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
44 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
45 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
46 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
47 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
48 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
49 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
50 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
51 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
52 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
53 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
54 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
55 - update copyright notices.
57 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
58 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
59 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
60 fails to install (sorry).
61 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
62 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
63 middleware deal with it.
65 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
66 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
67 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
68 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
69 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
70 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
71 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
72 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
73 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
75 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
76 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
77 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
78 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
79 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
80 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
81 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
82 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
83 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
84 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
86 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
87 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
88 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
89 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
93 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
94 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
95 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
96 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
97 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
98 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
102 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
103 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
104 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
106 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
107 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
108 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
110 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
111 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
112 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
113 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
115 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
116 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
117 - Various POD formating fixed.
118 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
119 accept and issues that might arise.
122 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
123 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
126 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
127 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
128 for internal methods:
130 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
131 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
132 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
134 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
135 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
136 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
137 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
139 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
140 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
141 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
143 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
144 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
145 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
146 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
147 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
149 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
150 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
151 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
152 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
153 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
154 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
155 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
156 cases to reflect this change.
158 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
159 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
160 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
161 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
162 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
163 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
164 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
165 those keys already exist). Keys added:
166 - plack.request.query
168 - plack.request.merged
169 - plack.request.http.body
170 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
171 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
172 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
173 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
174 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
175 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
176 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
177 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
178 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
179 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
180 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
181 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
182 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
183 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
184 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
185 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
186 is a scalar or arrayref.
187 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
188 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
190 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
191 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
192 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
194 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
195 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
196 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
197 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
198 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
199 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
200 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
201 a development setup (ether++)
203 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
204 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
205 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
206 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
207 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
208 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
209 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
210 case t/data_handler.t
212 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
213 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
214 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
215 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
216 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
219 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
220 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
221 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
222 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
224 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
226 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
230 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
231 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
232 this fixes all of them.
233 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
234 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
235 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
236 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
238 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
241 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
242 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
243 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
244 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
245 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
246 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
247 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
249 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
250 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
251 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
252 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
253 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
254 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
256 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
257 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
258 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
259 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
260 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
261 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
262 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
263 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
265 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
268 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
269 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
270 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
271 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
272 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
273 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
275 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
276 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
277 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
278 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
279 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
280 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
283 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
284 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
285 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
286 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
287 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
288 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
289 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
290 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
291 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
292 in behavior is compatible on its own.
293 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
294 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
295 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
296 - Some test and documentation improvements
298 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
299 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
300 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
301 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
304 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
305 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
308 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
309 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
311 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
312 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
314 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
316 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
317 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
319 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
321 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
322 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
323 of request or response classes.
325 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
326 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
327 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
328 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
329 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
330 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
331 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
332 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
333 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
334 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
336 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
337 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
338 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
339 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
340 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
342 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
344 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
345 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
347 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
349 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
350 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
351 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
354 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
357 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
360 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
361 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
363 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
366 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
369 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
371 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
373 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
375 Distribution META.yml changes:
376 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
377 mis-parses from the documentation.
378 - x_authority key added.
381 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
382 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
384 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
385 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
386 is less than helpful.
388 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
389 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
390 in bleadperl. RT#76437
392 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
393 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
396 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
397 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
399 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
400 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
401 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
403 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
406 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
407 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
408 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
409 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
410 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
411 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
413 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
415 - --background option for the server script now only closes
416 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
417 and other loggers which open a file handle when
418 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
419 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
420 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
423 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
426 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
427 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
428 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
429 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
431 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
434 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
437 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
438 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
439 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
440 included when not running from a checkout.
442 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
444 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
445 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
446 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
448 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
450 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
452 New features and refactoring:
453 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
454 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
455 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
457 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
458 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
459 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
462 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
463 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
464 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
466 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
468 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
469 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
470 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
471 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
472 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
473 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
475 Back compatibility fixes:
476 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
477 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
478 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
481 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
484 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
485 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
486 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
488 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
489 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
490 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
492 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
495 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
496 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
497 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
498 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
499 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
502 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
503 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
505 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
506 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
507 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
509 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
512 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
513 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
514 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
515 get them passed through to the application.
518 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
519 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
520 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
521 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
524 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
525 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
526 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
527 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
529 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
530 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
531 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
533 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
534 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
536 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
540 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
541 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
542 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
543 whereas before you had to say:
544 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
545 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
546 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
549 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
550 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
551 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
552 scripts in the application.
553 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
554 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
555 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
560 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
562 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
563 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
564 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
565 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
566 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
567 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
568 and provide an alternative.
570 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
574 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
577 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
580 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
582 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
583 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
584 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
585 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
586 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
587 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
591 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
592 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
594 Backward compatibility fixes:
596 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
597 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
601 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
602 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
604 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
606 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
608 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
609 Backward compatibility fixes:
611 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
612 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
614 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
618 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
619 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
620 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
622 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
624 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
625 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
627 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
631 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
633 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
635 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
637 Backward compatibility fixes:
639 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
641 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
642 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
643 for backward compatibility.
647 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
648 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
652 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
653 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
654 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
656 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
658 Backward compatibility fixes:
660 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
661 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
665 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
668 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
669 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
670 example) Coro is loaded.
672 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
673 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
675 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
676 using MooseX::Deamonize
678 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
679 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
680 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
681 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
682 deployed in these environments.
686 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
690 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
691 file for your application.
693 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
697 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
698 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
700 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
703 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
704 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
706 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
708 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
709 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
711 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
712 IO::Handle's behaviour.
714 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
715 was not breaking out correctly
717 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
718 to also work in the $c->component method.
720 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
721 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
722 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
724 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
726 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
728 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
730 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
731 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
734 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
736 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
739 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
743 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
744 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
745 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
747 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
750 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
752 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
753 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
754 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
756 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
759 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
760 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
761 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
762 the new major version of Catalyst.
765 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
766 of Catalyst has been much improved.
768 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
771 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
772 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
773 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
775 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
777 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
778 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
779 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
781 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
784 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
785 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
786 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
788 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
789 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
793 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
794 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
796 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
797 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
798 developers without changing their application code.
800 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
803 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
804 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
805 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
806 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
807 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
809 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
810 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
812 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
814 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
818 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
819 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
820 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
821 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
822 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
823 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
824 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
826 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
827 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
828 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
829 class, please tell us *now*.
831 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
834 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
836 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
837 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
838 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
839 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
840 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
841 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
844 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
845 the Content-Length header appropriately)
846 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
847 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
848 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
849 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
850 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
851 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
853 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
854 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
855 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
856 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
857 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
858 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
859 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
860 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
863 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
864 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
866 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
869 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
870 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
874 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
875 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
877 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
880 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
882 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
883 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
885 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
887 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
890 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
892 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
895 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
896 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
897 load Utils before MyApp.pm
899 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
902 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
904 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
905 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
906 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
907 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
908 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
910 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
913 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
914 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
915 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
918 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
919 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
924 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
927 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
930 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
931 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
932 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
933 the default action creation.
936 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
937 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
938 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
939 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
940 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
941 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
942 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
945 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
947 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
949 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
951 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
954 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
955 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
956 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
957 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
958 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
961 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
962 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
965 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
966 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
967 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
968 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
970 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
973 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
974 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
975 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
976 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
977 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
978 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
979 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
980 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
983 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
984 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
985 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
987 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
988 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
989 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
990 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
993 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
994 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
997 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
998 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1001 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1004 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1005 the content type and content length if available.
1007 Refactoring / optimizations:
1008 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1009 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1010 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1011 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1012 screen as easy to write.
1013 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1014 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1015 in parameter filtering (for example).
1016 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1017 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1018 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1019 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1020 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1023 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1024 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1025 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1026 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1028 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1031 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1032 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1034 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1037 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1038 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1040 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1043 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1044 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1045 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1046 which should not be encoded.
1047 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1048 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1050 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1051 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1052 any set of args/captures.
1054 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1055 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1057 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1061 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1063 - Various minor typo fixes.
1066 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1068 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1071 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1072 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1073 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1076 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1077 - Clarify documentation about debug
1080 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1081 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1082 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1084 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1087 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1088 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1092 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1093 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1095 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1096 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1097 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1098 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1099 argv key in the options hash.
1100 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1101 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1102 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1103 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1105 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1109 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1110 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1111 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1112 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1113 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1115 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1119 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1120 encoding test controller.
1122 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1124 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1125 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1127 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1129 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1130 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1131 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1132 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1133 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1135 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1139 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1140 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1141 less packed with information of no use.
1145 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1147 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1149 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1150 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1151 the single character '0'.
1152 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1155 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1156 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1157 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1159 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1161 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1162 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1163 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1164 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1165 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1166 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1167 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1168 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1169 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1170 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1171 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1172 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1174 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1175 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1177 Refactoring / cleanups:
1178 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1179 (and then skipped) normally.
1182 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1184 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1187 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1188 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1189 on the old behaviour.
1191 Refactoring / cleanups:
1192 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1193 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1195 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1198 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1199 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1200 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1201 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1202 as there is no recommended alternative.
1203 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1204 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1205 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1206 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1207 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1208 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1209 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1210 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1211 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1212 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1213 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1214 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1215 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1216 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1219 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1220 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1221 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1222 deprecated and causes warnings).
1223 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1224 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1225 in the correct order.
1226 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1228 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1229 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1230 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1233 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1234 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1235 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1236 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1237 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1239 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1240 exception classes need to implement.
1241 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1242 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1245 Refactoring / cleanups:
1246 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1247 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1248 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1249 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1250 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1251 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1252 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1254 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1257 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1258 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1259 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1260 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1262 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1263 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1264 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1267 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1268 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1271 Refactoring / cleanups:
1272 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1273 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1274 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1275 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1276 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1278 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1281 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1282 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1283 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1284 now loaded at most once + tests.
1285 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1286 is returned to 'actions'.
1287 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1288 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1290 Refactoring / cleanups:
1291 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1292 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1295 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1296 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1297 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1299 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1302 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1303 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1306 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1309 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1310 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1311 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1313 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1316 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1317 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1318 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1320 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1323 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1324 application class immutable without that option.
1325 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1326 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1328 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1329 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1330 (hopefully) future versions.
1331 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1332 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1333 variables (RT#48555)
1334 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1336 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1337 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1338 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1339 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1340 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1342 Refactoring / cleanups:
1343 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1344 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1345 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1346 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1347 known issues with 5.8.3.
1348 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1349 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1352 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1353 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1354 for the controller namespace
1355 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1356 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1357 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1358 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1359 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1360 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1362 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1363 frontend port (jshirley)
1364 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1368 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1369 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1370 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1371 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1374 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1377 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1378 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1379 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1381 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1382 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1383 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1384 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1385 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1386 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1390 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1391 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1392 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1395 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1398 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1399 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1401 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1402 in some environments.
1403 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1404 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1405 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1406 except works correctly with closures.
1407 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1408 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1409 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1410 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1411 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1412 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1413 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1416 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1417 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1418 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1419 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1420 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1421 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1423 Refactoring / cleanups:
1424 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1425 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1426 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1427 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1429 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1430 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1431 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1433 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1434 again in Catalyst::Test
1436 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1439 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1440 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1443 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1446 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1447 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1448 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1450 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1453 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1454 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1457 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1458 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1462 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1463 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1464 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1465 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1466 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1468 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1469 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1470 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1471 controller naming. (random)
1472 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1473 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1474 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1475 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1476 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1478 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1481 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1482 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1484 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1485 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1486 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1487 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1488 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1489 to report 'Unknown Error'
1490 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1491 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1492 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1493 parse_on_demand is on
1495 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1496 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1497 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1498 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1499 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1500 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1502 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1503 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1505 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1506 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1507 Test::Aggregate is available.
1508 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1509 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1510 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1511 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1512 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1514 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1515 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1521 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1522 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1523 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1524 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1525 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1526 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1529 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1530 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1531 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1532 configuration in your application.
1534 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1535 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1536 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1538 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1539 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1541 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1542 has been made private
1543 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1544 the request parameters with undef + test

1546 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1548 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1550 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1551 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1552 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1554 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1555 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1556 warning on recent Moose versions.
1557 - Add delta documentation
1558 - Clean up recursion errors
1559 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1560 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1562 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1563 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1565 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1566 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1567 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1568 tries to chain to itself
1570 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1571 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1572 - Tests for this (radek)
1573 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1574 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1575 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1576 - Tests for this (radek)
1577 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1578 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1579 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1580 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1582 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1583 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1585 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1587 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1588 in production versions
1589 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1590 the correct metaclass
1591 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1592 the restarter process
1593 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1594 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1596 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1597 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1598 immutable restart correctly.
1600 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1601 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1602 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1603 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1610 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1611 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1612 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1613 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1614 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1615 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1616 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1617 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1618 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1619 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1620 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1622 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1623 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1624 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1627 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1628 - Add uri_with tests

1655 keep-alive requests.
1656 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1657 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1658 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1659 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1661 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1662 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1663 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1664 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1665 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1666 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1667 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1668 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1669 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1670 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1671 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1672 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1673 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1674 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1675 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1676 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1677 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1678 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1679 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1680 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1682 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1683 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1685 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1686 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1687 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1689 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1690 test sync for engines easier
1691 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1692 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1694 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1695 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1696 rather than the stringified ref.
1697 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1698 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1699 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1700 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1701 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1703 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1704 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1705 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1707 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1708 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1709 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1710 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1711 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1712 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1713 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
1714 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
1715 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1716 the key from the instance hash
1717 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1718 trivial delegation methods
1719 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
1720 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
1721 Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
1722 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
