1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
7 - A number of modules have been updated to pass their tests or not
8 produce deprecation warnings with the latest version of Catalyst.
12 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst - has been updated to not produce
15 Catalyst::ActionRole::ACL - has been updated to fix failing tests
16 (although older versions still function perfectly with this
19 Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC - has been updated to fix
20 failing tests (although older versions still function perfectly
21 with this version of Catalyst).
23 Backward compatibility fixes:
25 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
27 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
28 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
29 for backward compatibility.
33 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
34 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
38 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
39 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
40 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
42 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
44 Backward compatibility fixes:
46 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
47 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
51 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
54 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
55 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
56 example) Coro is loaded.
58 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
59 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
61 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
62 using MooseX::Deamonize
64 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
65 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
66 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
67 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
68 deployed in these environments.
72 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
76 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
77 file for your application.
79 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
83 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
84 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
86 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
89 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
90 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
92 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
94 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
95 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
97 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
98 IO::Handle's behaviour.
100 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
101 was not breaking out correctly
103 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
104 to also work in the $c->component method.
106 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
107 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
108 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
110 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
112 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
114 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
116 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
117 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
120 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
122 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
125 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
129 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
130 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
131 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
133 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
136 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
138 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
139 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
140 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
142 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
145 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
146 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
147 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
148 the new major version of Catalyst.
151 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
152 of Catalyst has been much improved.
154 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
157 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
158 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
159 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
161 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
163 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
164 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
165 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
167 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
170 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
171 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
172 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
174 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
175 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
179 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
180 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
182 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
183 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
184 developers without changing their application code.
186 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
189 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
190 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
191 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
192 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
193 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
195 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
196 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
198 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
200 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
204 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
205 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
206 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
207 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
208 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
209 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
210 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
212 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
213 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
214 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
215 class, please tell us *now*.
217 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
220 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
222 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
223 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
224 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
225 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
226 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
227 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
230 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
231 the Content-Length header appropriately)
232 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
233 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
234 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
235 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
236 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
237 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
239 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
240 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
241 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
242 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
243 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
244 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
245 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
246 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
249 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
250 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
252 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
255 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
256 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
260 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
261 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
263 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
266 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
268 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
269 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
271 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
273 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
276 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
278 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
281 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
282 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
283 load Utils before MyApp.pm
285 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
288 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
290 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
291 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
292 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
293 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
294 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
296 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
299 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
300 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
301 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
304 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
305 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
310 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
313 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
316 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
317 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
318 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
319 the default action creation.
322 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
323 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
324 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
325 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
326 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
327 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
328 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
331 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
333 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
335 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
337 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
340 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
341 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
342 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
343 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
344 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
347 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
348 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
351 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
352 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
353 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
354 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
356 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
359 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
360 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
361 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
362 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
363 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
364 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
365 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
366 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
369 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
370 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
371 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
373 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
374 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
375 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
376 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
379 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
380 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
383 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
384 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
387 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
390 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
391 the content type and content length if available.
393 Refactoring / optimizations:
394 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
395 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
396 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
397 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
398 screen as easy to write.
399 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
400 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
401 in parameter filtering (for example).
402 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
403 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
404 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
405 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
406 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
409 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
410 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
411 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
412 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
414 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
417 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
418 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
420 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
423 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
424 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
426 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
429 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
430 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
431 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
432 which should not be encoded.
433 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
434 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
436 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
437 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
438 any set of args/captures.
440 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
441 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
443 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
447 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
449 - Various minor typo fixes.
452 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
454 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
457 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
458 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
459 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
462 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
463 - Clarify documentation about debug
466 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
467 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
468 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
470 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
473 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
474 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
478 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
479 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
481 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
482 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
483 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
484 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
485 argv key in the options hash.
486 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
487 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
488 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
489 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
491 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
495 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
496 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
497 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
498 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
499 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
501 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
505 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
506 encoding test controller.
508 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
510 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
511 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
512 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
513 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
515 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
516 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
517 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
518 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
519 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
521 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
525 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
526 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
527 less packed with information of no use.
531 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
533 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
535 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
536 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
537 the single character '0'.
538 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
541 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
542 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
543 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
545 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
547 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
548 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
549 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
550 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
551 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
552 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
553 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
554 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
555 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
556 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
557 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
558 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
560 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
561 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
563 Refactoring / cleanups:
564 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
565 (and then skipped) normally.
568 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
570 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
573 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
574 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
575 on the old behaviour.
577 Refactoring / cleanups:
578 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
579 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
581 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
584 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
585 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
586 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
587 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
588 as there is no recommended alternative.
589 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
590 fallback for fully qualified component names.
591 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
592 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
593 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
594 startup, rather than with the first hit.
595 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
596 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
597 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
598 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
599 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
600 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
601 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
602 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
605 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
606 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
607 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
608 deprecated and causes warnings).
609 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
610 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
611 in the correct order.
612 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
614 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
615 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
616 is deprecated (RT#51489)
619 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
620 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
621 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
622 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
623 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
625 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
626 exception classes need to implement.
627 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
628 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
631 Refactoring / cleanups:
632 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
633 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
634 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
635 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
636 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
637 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
638 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
640 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
643 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
644 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
645 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
646 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
648 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
649 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
650 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
653 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
654 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
657 Refactoring / cleanups:
658 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
659 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
660 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
661 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
662 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
664 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
667 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
668 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
669 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
670 now loaded at most once + tests.
671 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
672 is returned to 'actions'.
673 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
674 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
676 Refactoring / cleanups:
677 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
678 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
681 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
682 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
683 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
685 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
688 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
689 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
692 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
695 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
696 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
697 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
699 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
702 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
703 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
704 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
706 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
709 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
710 application class immutable without that option.
711 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
712 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
714 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
715 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
716 (hopefully) future versions.
717 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
718 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
720 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
722 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
723 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
724 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
725 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
726 Request-URI of the Request-Line
728 Refactoring / cleanups:
729 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
730 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
731 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
732 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
733 known issues with 5.8.3.

735 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
738 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
739 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
740 for the controller namespace
741 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
742 expand_component_module (rjbs)
743 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
744 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
745 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
746 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
748 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
749 frontend port (jshirley)
750 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
754 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
755 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
756 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
757 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
760 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
763 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for

767 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
768 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
769 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
770 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
771 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
772 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
776 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
777 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
778 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
781 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
784 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
785 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
787 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
788 in some environments.
789 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
790 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
791 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
792 except works correctly with closures.
793 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
794 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
795 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
797 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
798 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
799 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
802 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
803 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
804 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
805 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
806 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
807 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
809 Refactoring / cleanups:
810 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
811 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
812 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
813 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
815 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
816 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
817 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
819 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
820 again in Catalyst::Test
822 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

833 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
834 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
836 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
839 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
840 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
843 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
844 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
848 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
849 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
850 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
851 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
852 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
854 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
855 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to

868 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
870 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues

872 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
873 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
874 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
875 to report 'Unknown Error'
876 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
877 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
878 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
879 parse_on_demand is on
881 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
882 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
883 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.

892 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
893 Test::Aggregate is available.
894 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
895 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

908 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
909 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
910 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
911 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
912 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
914 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
915 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
916 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

921 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
922 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

952 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
953 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
954 tries to chain to itself
956 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
957 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
958 - Tests for this (radek)

978 the restarter process
979 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
980 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
982 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
983 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
984 immutable restart correctly.
986 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
987 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1003 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1004 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1005 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1006 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1008 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1009 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1226 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1227 method with a regex as the argument
