1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
5 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
6 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
7 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
8 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
10 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
13 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
16 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
17 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
18 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
19 included when not running from a checkout.
21 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
23 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
24 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
25 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
27 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
29 New features and refactoring:
30 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
31 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
32 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
34 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
35 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
36 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
39 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
40 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
41 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
43 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
45 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
46 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
47 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
48 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
49 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
50 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
52 Back compatibility fixes:
53 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
54 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
55 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
58 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
61 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
62 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
63 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
65 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
66 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
67 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
69 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
72 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
73 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
74 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
75 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
76 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
79 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
80 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
82 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
83 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
84 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
86 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
89 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
90 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
91 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
92 get them passed through to the application.
95 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
96 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
97 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
98 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
101 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
102 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
103 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
104 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
106 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
107 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
108 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
110 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
111 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
113 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
117 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
118 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
119 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
120 whereas before you had to say:
121 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
122 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
123 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
126 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
127 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
128 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
129 scripts in the application.
130 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
131 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
132 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
137 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
139 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
140 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
141 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
142 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
143 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
144 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
145 and provide an alternative.
147 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
151 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
154 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
157 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
159 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
160 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
161 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
162 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
163 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
164 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
168 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
169 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
171 Backward compatibility fixes:
173 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
174 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
178 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
179 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
181 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
183 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
185 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
186 Backward compatibility fixes:
188 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
189 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
191 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
195 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
196 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
197 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
199 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
201 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
202 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
204 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
208 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
210 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
212 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
214 Backward compatibility fixes:
216 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
218 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
219 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
220 for backward compatibility.
224 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
225 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
229 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
230 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
231 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
233 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
235 Backward compatibility fixes:
237 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
238 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
242 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
245 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
246 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
247 example) Coro is loaded.
249 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
250 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
252 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
253 using MooseX::Deamonize
255 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
256 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
257 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
258 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
259 deployed in these environments.
263 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
267 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
268 file for your application.
270 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
274 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
275 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
277 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
280 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
281 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
283 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
285 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
286 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
288 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
289 IO::Handle's behaviour.
291 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
292 was not breaking out correctly
294 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
295 to also work in the $c->component method.
297 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
298 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
299 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
301 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
303 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
305 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
307 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
308 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
311 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
313 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
316 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
320 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
321 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
322 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
324 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
327 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
329 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
330 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
331 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
333 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
336 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
337 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
338 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
339 the new major version of Catalyst.
342 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
343 of Catalyst has been much improved.
345 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
348 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
349 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
350 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
352 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
354 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
355 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
356 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
358 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
361 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
362 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
363 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
365 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
366 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
370 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
371 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
373 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
374 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
375 developers without changing their application code.
377 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
380 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
381 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
382 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
383 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
384 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
386 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
387 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
389 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
391 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
395 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
396 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
397 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
398 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
399 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
400 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
401 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
403 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
404 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
405 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
406 class, please tell us *now*.
408 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
411 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
413 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
414 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
415 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
416 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
417 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
418 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
421 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
422 the Content-Length header appropriately)
423 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
424 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
425 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
426 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
427 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
428 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
430 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
431 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
432 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
433 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
434 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
435 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
436 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
437 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
440 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
441 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
443 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
446 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
447 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
451 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
452 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
454 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
457 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
459 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
460 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
462 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
464 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
467 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
469 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
472 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
473 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
474 load Utils before MyApp.pm
476 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
479 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
481 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
482 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
483 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
484 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
485 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
487 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
490 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
491 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
492 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
495 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
496 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
501 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
504 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
507 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
508 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
509 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
510 the default action creation.
513 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
514 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
515 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
516 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
517 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
518 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
519 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
522 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
524 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
526 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
528 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
531 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
532 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
533 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
534 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
535 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
538 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
539 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
542 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
543 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
544 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
545 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
547 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
550 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
551 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
552 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
553 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
554 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
555 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
556 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
557 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
560 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
561 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
562 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
564 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
565 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
566 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
567 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
570 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
571 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
574 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
575 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
578 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
581 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
582 the content type and content length if available.
584 Refactoring / optimizations:
585 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
586 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
587 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
588 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
589 screen as easy to write.
590 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
591 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
592 in parameter filtering (for example).
593 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
594 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
595 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
596 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
597 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
600 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
601 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
602 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
603 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
605 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
608 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
609 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
611 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
614 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
615 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
617 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
620 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
621 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
622 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
623 which should not be encoded.
624 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
625 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
627 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
628 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
629 any set of args/captures.
631 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
632 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
634 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
638 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
640 - Various minor typo fixes.
643 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
645 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
648 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
649 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
650 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
653 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
654 - Clarify documentation about debug
657 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
658 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
659 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
661 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
664 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
665 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
669 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
670 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
672 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
673 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
674 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
675 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
676 argv key in the options hash.
677 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
678 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
679 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
680 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
682 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
686 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
687 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
688 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
689 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
690 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
692 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
696 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
697 encoding test controller.
699 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
701 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
702 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
703 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
704 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
706 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
707 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
708 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
709 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
710 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
712 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
716 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
717 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
718 less packed with information of no use.
722 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
724 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
726 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
727 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
728 the single character '0'.
729 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
732 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
733 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
734 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
736 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
738 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
739 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
740 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
741 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
742 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
743 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
744 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
745 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
746 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
747 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
748 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
749 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
751 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
752 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
754 Refactoring / cleanups:
755 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
756 (and then skipped) normally.
759 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
761 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
764 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
765 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
766 on the old behaviour.
768 Refactoring / cleanups:
769 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
770 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
772 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
775 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
776 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
777 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
778 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
779 as there is no recommended alternative.
780 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
781 fallback for fully qualified component names.
782 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
783 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
784 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
785 startup, rather than with the first hit.
786 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
787 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
788 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
789 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
790 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
791 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
792 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
793 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
796 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
797 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
798 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
799 deprecated and causes warnings).
800 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
801 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
802 in the correct order.
803 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
805 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
806 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
807 is deprecated (RT#51489)
810 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
811 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
812 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
813 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
814 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
816 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
817 exception classes need to implement.
818 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
819 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
822 Refactoring / cleanups:
823 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
824 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
825 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
826 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
827 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
828 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
829 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
831 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
834 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
835 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
836 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
837 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
839 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
840 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
841 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
844 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
845 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
848 Refactoring / cleanups:
849 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
850 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
851 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
852 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
853 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
855 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
858 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
859 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
860 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
861 now loaded at most once + tests.
862 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
863 is returned to 'actions'.
864 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
865 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
867 Refactoring / cleanups:
868 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
869 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
872 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
873 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
874 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
876 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
879 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
880 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
883 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
886 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
887 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
888 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
890 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
893 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
894 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
895 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
897 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
900 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
901 application class immutable without that option.
902 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
903 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
905 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
906 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
907 (hopefully) future versions.
908 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
909 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
911 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
913 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
914 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
915 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
916 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
917 Request-URI of the Request-Line
919 Refactoring / cleanups:
920 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
921 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
922 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
923 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
924 known issues with 5.8.3.
925 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
926 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
929 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
930 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
931 for the controller namespace
932 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
933 expand_component_module (rjbs)
934 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
935 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
936 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
937 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
939 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
940 frontend port (jshirley)
941 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
945 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
946 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
947 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
948 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
951 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
954 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
955 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
956 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
958 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
959 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
960 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
961 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
962 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
963 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
967 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
968 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
969 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
972 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
975 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
976 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
978 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
979 in some environments.
980 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
981 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
982 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
983 except works correctly with closures.
984 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
985 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
986 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
988 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
989 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
990 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
993 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
994 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
995 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
996 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
997 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
998 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1000 Refactoring / cleanups:
1001 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1002 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1003 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1004 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1006 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1007 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1008 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1010 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1011 again in Catalyst::Test
1013 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1016 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1017 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1020 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1023 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1024 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1025 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1027 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1030 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1031 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1034 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1035 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1039 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1040 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1041 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1042 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1043 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1045 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1046 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1047 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1048 controller naming. (random)
1049 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1050 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1051 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1052 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1053 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1055 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1057 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1058 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1059 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1061 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1062 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1063 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1064 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1065 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1066 to report 'Unknown Error'
1067 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1068 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1069 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1070 parse_on_demand is on
1072 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1073 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1074 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1075 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1076 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1077 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1078 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1079 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1080 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1082 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1083 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1084 Test::Aggregate is available.
1085 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1086 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1087 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1088 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1089 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1090 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1091 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1092 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1097 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1098 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1099 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1100 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1101 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1102 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1103 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1106 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1107 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1108 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1109 configuration in your application.
1111 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1112 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1113 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1115 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1116 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1118 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1119 has been made private
1120 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1121 the request parameters with undef + test
1122 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1123 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1125 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1127 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1128 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1129 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1131 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1132 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1133 warning on recent Moose versions.
1134 - Add delta documentation
1135 - Clean up recursion errors
1136 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1137 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1139 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1140 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1142 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1143 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1144 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1145 tries to chain to itself
1147 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1148 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1149 - Tests for this (radek)
1150 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1151 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1152 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1153 - Tests for this (radek)
1154 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1155 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1156 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1157 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1159 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1160 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1162 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1164 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1165 in production versions
1166 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1167 the correct metaclass
1168 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1169 the restarter process
1170 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1171 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1173 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1174 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1175 immutable restart correctly.
1177 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1178 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1179 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1180 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1181 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1182 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1183 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1184 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1185 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1186 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1187 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1188 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1189 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1190 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1191 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1192 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1193 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1194 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1195 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1196 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1197 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1199 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1200 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1201 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1204 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1205 - Add uri_with tests
1207 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1209 - Disallow calling setup more than once
1210 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
1212 - Several documentation typo fixes
1213 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
1214 - Improved upgrading documentation
1215 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
1216 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
