1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
5 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
6 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
7 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
8 you really need to review this exploit.
11 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
14 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
15 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
16 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
17 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
19 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
22 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
23 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
24 so you can go to hunt it out.
27 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
28 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
29 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
30 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
31 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
32 - Added italian translation of default error.
35 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
38 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
39 certain tests. No other changes.
42 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
43 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
44 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
46 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
48 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
50 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
54 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
55 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
56 questions or problems!
57 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
58 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
59 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
60 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
61 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
62 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
63 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
64 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
65 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
68 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
69 - documentation and test fixes
72 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
73 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
74 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
75 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
76 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
77 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
78 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
81 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
82 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
85 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
86 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
87 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
88 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
89 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
90 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
91 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
92 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
94 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
97 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
98 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
101 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
102 introduced by a change in December.
105 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
108 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
109 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
110 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
111 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
112 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
115 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
116 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
117 reported while installing.
118 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
119 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
120 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
121 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
122 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
123 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
124 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
125 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
126 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
127 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
128 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
129 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
130 - update copyright notices.
132 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
133 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
134 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
135 fails to install (sorry).
136 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
137 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
138 middleware deal with it.
140 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
141 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
142 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
143 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
144 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
145 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
146 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
147 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
148 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
150 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
151 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
152 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
153 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
154 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
155 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
156 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
157 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
158 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
159 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
161 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
162 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
163 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
164 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
168 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
169 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
170 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
171 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
172 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
173 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
177 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
178 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
179 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
181 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
182 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
183 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
185 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
186 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
187 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
188 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
190 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
191 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
192 - Various POD formating fixed.
193 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
194 accept and issues that might arise.
197 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
198 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
201 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
202 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
203 for internal methods:
205 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
206 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
207 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
209 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
210 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
211 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
212 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
214 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
215 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
216 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
218 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
219 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
220 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
221 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
222 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
224 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
225 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
226 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
227 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
228 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
229 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
230 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
231 cases to reflect this change.
233 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
234 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
235 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
236 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
237 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
238 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
239 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
240 those keys already exist). Keys added:
241 - plack.request.query
243 - plack.request.merged
244 - plack.request.http.body
245 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
246 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
247 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
248 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
249 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
250 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
251 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
252 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
253 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
254 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
255 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
256 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
257 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
258 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
259 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
260 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
261 is a scalar or arrayref.
262 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
263 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
265 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
266 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
267 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
269 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
270 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
271 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
272 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
273 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
274 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
275 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
276 a development setup (ether++)
278 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
279 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
280 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
281 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
282 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
283 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
284 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
285 case t/data_handler.t
287 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
288 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
289 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
290 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
291 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
294 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
295 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
296 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
297 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
299 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
301 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
305 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
306 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
307 this fixes all of them.
308 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
309 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
310 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
311 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
313 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
316 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
317 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
318 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
319 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
320 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
321 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
322 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
324 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
325 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
326 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
327 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
328 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
329 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
331 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
332 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
333 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
334 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
335 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
336 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
337 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
338 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
340 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
343 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
344 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
345 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
346 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
347 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
348 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
350 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
351 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
352 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
353 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
354 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
355 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
358 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
359 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
360 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
361 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
362 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
363 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
364 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
365 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
366 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
367 in behavior is compatible on its own.
368 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
369 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
370 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
371 - Some test and documentation improvements
373 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
374 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
375 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
376 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
379 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
380 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
383 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
384 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
386 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
387 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
389 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
391 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
392 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
394 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
396 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
397 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
398 of request or response classes.
400 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
401 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
402 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
403 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
404 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
405 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
406 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
407 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
408 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
409 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
411 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
412 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
413 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
414 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
415 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
417 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
419 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
420 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
422 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
424 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
425 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
426 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
429 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
432 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
435 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
436 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
438 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
441 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
444 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
446 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
448 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
450 Distribution META.yml changes:
451 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
452 mis-parses from the documentation.
453 - x_authority key added.
456 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
457 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
459 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
460 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
461 is less than helpful.
463 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
464 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
465 in bleadperl. RT#76437
467 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
468 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
471 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
472 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
474 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
475 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
476 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
478 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
481 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
482 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
483 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
484 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
485 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
486 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
488 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
490 - --background option for the server script now only closes
491 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
492 and other loggers which open a file handle when
493 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
494 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
495 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
498 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
501 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
502 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
503 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
504 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
506 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
509 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
512 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
513 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
514 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
515 included when not running from a checkout.
517 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
519 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
520 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
521 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
523 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
525 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
527 New features and refactoring:
528 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
529 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
530 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
532 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
533 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
534 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
537 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
538 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
539 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
541 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
543 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
544 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
545 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
546 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
547 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
548 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
550 Back compatibility fixes:
551 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
552 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
553 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
556 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
559 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
560 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
561 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
563 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
564 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
565 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
567 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
570 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
571 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
572 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
573 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
574 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
577 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
578 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
580 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
581 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
582 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
584 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
587 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
588 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
589 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
590 get them passed through to the application.
593 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
594 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
595 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
596 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
599 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
600 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
601 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
602 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
604 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
605 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
606 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
608 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
609 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
611 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
615 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
616 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
617 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
618 whereas before you had to say:
619 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
620 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
621 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
624 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
625 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
626 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
627 scripts in the application.
628 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
629 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
630 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
635 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
637 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
638 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
639 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
640 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
641 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
642 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
643 and provide an alternative.
645 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
649 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
652 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
655 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
657 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
658 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
659 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
660 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
661 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
662 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
666 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
667 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
669 Backward compatibility fixes:
671 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
672 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
676 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
677 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
679 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
681 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
683 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
684 Backward compatibility fixes:
686 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
687 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
689 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
693 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
694 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
695 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
697 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
699 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
700 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
702 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
706 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
708 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
710 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
712 Backward compatibility fixes:
714 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
716 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
717 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
718 for backward compatibility.
722 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
723 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
727 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
728 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
729 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
731 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
733 Backward compatibility fixes:
735 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
736 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
740 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
743 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
744 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
745 example) Coro is loaded.
747 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
748 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
750 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
751 using MooseX::Deamonize
753 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
754 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
755 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
756 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
757 deployed in these environments.
761 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
765 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
766 file for your application.
768 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
772 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
773 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
775 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
778 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
779 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
781 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
783 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
784 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
786 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
787 IO::Handle's behaviour.
789 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
790 was not breaking out correctly
792 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
793 to also work in the $c->component method.
795 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
796 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
797 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
799 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
801 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
803 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
805 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
806 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
809 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
811 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
814 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
818 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
819 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
820 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
822 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
825 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
827 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
828 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
829 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
831 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
834 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
835 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
836 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
837 the new major version of Catalyst.
840 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
841 of Catalyst has been much improved.
843 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
846 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
847 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
848 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
850 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
852 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
853 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
854 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
856 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
859 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
860 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
861 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
863 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
864 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
868 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
869 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
871 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
872 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
873 developers without changing their application code.
875 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
878 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
879 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
880 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
881 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
882 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
884 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
885 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
887 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
889 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
893 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
894 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
895 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
896 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
897 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
898 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
899 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
901 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
902 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
903 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
904 class, please tell us *now*.
906 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
909 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
911 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
912 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
913 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
914 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
915 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
916 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
919 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
920 the Content-Length header appropriately)
921 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
922 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
923 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
924 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
925 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
926 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
928 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
929 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
930 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
931 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
932 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
933 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
934 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
935 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
938 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
939 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
941 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
944 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
945 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
949 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
950 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
952 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
955 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
957 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
958 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
960 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
962 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
965 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
967 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
970 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
971 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
972 load Utils before MyApp.pm
974 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
977 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
979 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
980 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
981 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
982 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
983 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
985 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
988 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
989 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
990 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
993 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
994 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
999 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1002 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1005 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1006 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1007 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1008 the default action creation.
1011 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1012 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1013 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1014 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1015 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1016 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1017 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1020 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1022 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1024 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1026 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1029 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1030 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1031 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1032 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1033 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1036 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1037 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1040 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1041 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1042 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1043 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1045 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1048 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1049 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1050 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1051 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1052 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1053 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1054 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1055 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1058 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1059 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1060 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1062 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1063 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1064 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1065 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1068 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1069 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1072 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1073 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1076 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1079 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1080 the content type and content length if available.
1082 Refactoring / optimizations:
1083 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1084 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1085 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1086 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1087 screen as easy to write.
1088 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1089 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1090 in parameter filtering (for example).
1091 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1092 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1093 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1094 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1095 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1098 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1099 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1100 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1101 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1103 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1106 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1107 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1109 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1112 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1113 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1115 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1118 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1119 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1120 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1121 which should not be encoded.
1122 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1123 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1125 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1126 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1127 any set of args/captures.
1129 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1130 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1132 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1136 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1138 - Various minor typo fixes.
1141 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1143 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1146 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1147 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1148 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1151 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1152 - Clarify documentation about debug
1155 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1156 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1157 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1159 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1162 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1163 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1167 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1168 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1170 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1171 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1172 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1173 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1174 argv key in the options hash.
1175 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1176 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1177 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1178 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1180 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1184 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1185 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1186 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1187 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1188 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1190 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1194 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1195 encoding test controller.
1197 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1199 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1200 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1202 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1204 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1205 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1206 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1207 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1208 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1210 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1214 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1215 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1216 less packed with information of no use.
1220 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1222 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1224 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1225 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1226 the single character '0'.
1227 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1230 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1231 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1232 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1234 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1236 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1237 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1238 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1239 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1240 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1241 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1242 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1243 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1244 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1245 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1246 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1247 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1249 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1250 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1252 Refactoring / cleanups:
1253 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1254 (and then skipped) normally.
1257 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1259 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1262 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1263 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1264 on the old behaviour.
1266 Refactoring / cleanups:
1267 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1268 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1270 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1273 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1274 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1275 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1276 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1277 as there is no recommended alternative.
1278 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1279 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1280 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1281 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1282 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1283 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1284 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1285 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1286 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1287 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1288 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1289 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1290 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1291 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1294 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1295 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1296 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1297 deprecated and causes warnings).
1298 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1299 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1300 in the correct order.
1301 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1303 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1304 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1305 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1308 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1309 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1310 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1311 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1312 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1314 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1315 exception classes need to implement.
1316 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1317 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1320 Refactoring / cleanups:
1321 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1322 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1323 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1324 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1325 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1326 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1327 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1329 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1332 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1333 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1334 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1335 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1337 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1338 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1339 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1342 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1343 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1346 Refactoring / cleanups:
1347 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1348 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1349 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1350 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1351 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1353 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1356 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1357 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1358 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1359 now loaded at most once + tests.
1360 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1361 is returned to 'actions'.
1362 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1363 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1365 Refactoring / cleanups:
1366 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1367 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1370 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1371 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1372 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1374 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1377 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1378 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1381 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1384 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1385 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1386 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1388 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1391 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1392 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1393 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1395 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1398 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1399 application class immutable without that option.
1400 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1401 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1403 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1404 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1405 (hopefully) future versions.
1406 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1407 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1408 variables (RT#48555)
1409 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1411 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1412 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1413 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1414 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1415 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1417 Refactoring / cleanups:
1418 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1419 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1420 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1421 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1422 known issues with 5.8.3.
1423 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1424 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1427 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1428 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1429 for the controller namespace
1430 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1431 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1432 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1433 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1434 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1435 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1437 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1438 frontend port (jshirley)
1439 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1443 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1444 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1445 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1446 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1449 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1452 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1453 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1454 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1456 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1457 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1458 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1459 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1460 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1461 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1465 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1466 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1467 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1470 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1473 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1474 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1476 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1477 in some environments.
1478 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1479 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1480 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1481 except works correctly with closures.
1482 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1483 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1484 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1485 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1486 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1487 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1488 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1491 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1492 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1493 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1494 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1495 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1496 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1498 Refactoring / cleanups:
1499 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1500 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1501 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1502 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1504 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1505 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1506 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1508 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1509 again in Catalyst::Test
1511 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1514 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1515 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1518 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1521 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1522 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1523 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1525 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1528 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1529 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1532 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1533 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1537 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1538 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1539 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1540 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1541 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1543 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1544 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1545 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1546 controller naming. (random)
1547 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1548 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1549 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1550 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1551 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1553 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1555 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1556 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1557 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1559 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1560 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1561 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1562 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1563 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1564 to report 'Unknown Error'
1565 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1566 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1567 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1568 parse_on_demand is on
1570 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1571 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1572 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1573 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1574 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1575 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1576 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1577 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1578 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1580 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1581 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1582 Test::Aggregate is available.
1583 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1584 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1585 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1586 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1587 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1588 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1589 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1590 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1594 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1595 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1596 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1597 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1598 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1599 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1600 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1601 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1604 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1605 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1606 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1607 configuration in your application.
1609 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1610 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1611 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1613 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1614 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1616 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1617 has been made private
1618 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1619 the request parameters with undef + test
1620 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1621 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1623 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1625 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1626 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1627 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1629 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1630 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1631 warning on recent Moose versions.
1632 - Add delta documentation
1633 - Clean up recursion errors
1634 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1635 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1637 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1638 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1640 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1641 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1642 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1643 tries to chain to itself
1645 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1646 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1647 - Tests for this (radek)
1648 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1649 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1650 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1651 - Tests for this (radek)
1652 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1653 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1654 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1655 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1657 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1658 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1660 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1662 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1663 in production versions
1664 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1665 the correct metaclass
1666 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1667 the restarter process
1668 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1669 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1671 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1672 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1673 immutable restart correctly.
1675 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1676 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1677 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1678 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1679 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1680 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1681 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1682 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1683 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1684 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1685 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1686 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1687 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1688 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1689 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1690 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1691 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1692 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1693 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1694 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1695 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1697 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1698 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1699 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1702 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1703 - Add uri_with tests

1716 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1717 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1718 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1721 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
