4 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
5 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
7 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
10 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
13 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
15 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
17 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
19 Distribution META.yml changes:
20 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
21 mis-parses from the documentation.
22 - x_authority key added.
25 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
26 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
28 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
29 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
32 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
33 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
34 in bleadperl. RT#76437
36 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
37 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
40 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
41 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
43 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
44 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
45 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
47 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
50 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
51 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
52 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
53 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
54 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
55 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
57 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
59 - --background option for the server script now only closes
60 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
61 and other loggers which open a file handle when
62 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
63 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
64 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
67 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
70 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
71 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
72 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
73 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
75 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
78 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
81 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
82 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
83 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
84 included when not running from a checkout.
86 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
88 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
89 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
90 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
92 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
94 New features and refactoring:
95 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
96 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
97 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
99 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
100 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
101 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
104 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
105 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
106 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
108 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
110 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
111 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
112 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
113 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
114 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
115 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
117 Back compatibility fixes:
118 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
119 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
120 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
123 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
126 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
127 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
128 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
130 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
131 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
132 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
134 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
137 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
138 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
139 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
140 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
141 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
144 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
145 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
147 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
148 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
149 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
151 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
154 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
155 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
156 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
157 get them passed through to the application.
160 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
161 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
162 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
163 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
166 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
167 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
168 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
169 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
171 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
172 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
173 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
175 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
176 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
178 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
182 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
183 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
184 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
185 whereas before you had to say:
186 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
187 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
188 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
191 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
192 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
193 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
194 scripts in the application.
195 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
196 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
197 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
202 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
204 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
205 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
206 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
207 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
208 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
209 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
210 and provide an alternative.
212 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
216 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
219 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
222 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
224 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
225 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
226 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
227 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
228 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
229 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
233 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
234 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
236 Backward compatibility fixes:
238 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
239 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
243 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
244 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
246 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
248 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
250 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
251 Backward compatibility fixes:
253 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
254 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
256 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
260 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
261 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
262 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
264 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
266 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
267 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
269 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
273 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
275 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
277 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
279 Backward compatibility fixes:
281 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
283 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
284 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
285 for backward compatibility.
289 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
290 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
294 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
295 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
296 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
298 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
300 Backward compatibility fixes:
302 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
303 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
307 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
310 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
311 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
312 example) Coro is loaded.
314 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
315 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
317 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
318 using MooseX::Deamonize
320 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
321 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
322 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
323 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
324 deployed in these environments.
328 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
332 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
333 file for your application.
335 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
339 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
340 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
342 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
345 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
346 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
348 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
350 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
351 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
353 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
354 IO::Handle's behaviour.
356 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
357 was not breaking out correctly
359 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
360 to also work in the $c->component method.
362 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
363 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
364 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
366 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
368 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
370 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
372 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
373 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
376 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
378 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
381 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
385 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
386 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
387 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
389 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
392 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
394 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
395 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
396 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
398 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
401 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
402 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
403 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
404 the new major version of Catalyst.
407 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
408 of Catalyst has been much improved.
410 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
413 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
414 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
415 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
417 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
419 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
420 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
421 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
423 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
426 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
427 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
428 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
430 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
431 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
435 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
436 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
438 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
439 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
440 developers without changing their application code.
442 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
445 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
446 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
447 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
448 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
449 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
451 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
452 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
454 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
456 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
460 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
461 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
462 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
463 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
464 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
465 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
466 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
468 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
469 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
470 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
471 class, please tell us *now*.
473 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
476 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
478 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
479 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
480 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
481 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
482 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
483 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
486 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
487 the Content-Length header appropriately)
488 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
489 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
490 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
491 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
492 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
493 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
495 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
496 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
497 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
498 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
499 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
500 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
501 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
502 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
505 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
506 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
508 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
511 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
512 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
516 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
517 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
519 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
522 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
524 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
525 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
527 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
529 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
532 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
534 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
537 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
538 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
539 load Utils before MyApp.pm
541 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
544 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
546 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
547 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
548 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
549 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
550 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
552 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
555 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
556 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
557 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
560 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
561 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
566 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
569 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
572 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
573 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
574 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
575 the default action creation.
578 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
579 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
580 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
581 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
582 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
583 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
584 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
587 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
589 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
591 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
593 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
596 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
597 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
598 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
599 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
600 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
603 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
604 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
607 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
608 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
609 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
610 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
612 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
615 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
616 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
617 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
618 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
619 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
620 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
621 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
622 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
625 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
626 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
627 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
629 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
630 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
631 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
632 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
635 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
636 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
639 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
640 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
643 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
646 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
647 the content type and content length if available.
649 Refactoring / optimizations:
650 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
651 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
652 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
653 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
654 screen as easy to write.
655 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
656 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
657 in parameter filtering (for example).
658 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
659 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
660 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
661 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
662 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
665 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
666 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
667 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
668 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
670 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
673 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
674 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
676 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
679 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
680 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
682 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
685 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
686 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
687 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
688 which should not be encoded.
689 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
690 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
692 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
693 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
694 any set of args/captures.
696 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
697 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
699 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
703 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
705 - Various minor typo fixes.
708 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
710 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
713 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
714 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
715 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
718 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
719 - Clarify documentation about debug
722 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
723 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
724 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
726 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
729 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
730 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
734 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
735 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
737 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
738 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
739 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
740 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
741 argv key in the options hash.
742 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
743 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
744 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
745 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
747 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
751 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
752 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
753 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
754 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
755 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
757 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
761 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
762 encoding test controller.
764 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
766 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
767 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
768 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
769 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
771 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
772 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
773 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
774 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
775 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
777 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
781 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
782 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
783 less packed with information of no use.
787 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
789 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
791 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
792 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
793 the single character '0'.
794 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
797 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
798 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
799 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
801 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
803 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
804 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
805 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
806 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
807 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
808 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
809 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
810 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
811 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
812 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
813 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
814 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
816 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
817 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
819 Refactoring / cleanups:
820 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
821 (and then skipped) normally.
824 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
826 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
829 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
830 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
831 on the old behaviour.
833 Refactoring / cleanups:
834 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
835 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
837 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
840 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
841 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
842 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
843 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
844 as there is no recommended alternative.
845 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
846 fallback for fully qualified component names.
847 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
848 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
849 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
850 startup, rather than with the first hit.
851 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
852 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
853 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
854 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
855 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
856 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
857 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
858 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
861 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
862 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
863 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
864 deprecated and causes warnings).
865 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
866 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
867 in the correct order.
868 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
870 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
871 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
872 is deprecated (RT#51489)
875 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
876 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
877 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
878 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
879 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
881 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
882 exception classes need to implement.
883 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
884 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
887 Refactoring / cleanups:
888 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
889 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
890 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
891 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
892 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
893 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
894 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
896 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
899 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
900 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
901 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
902 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
904 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
905 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
906 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
909 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
910 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
913 Refactoring / cleanups:
914 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
915 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
916 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
917 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
918 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
920 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
923 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
924 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
925 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
926 now loaded at most once + tests.
927 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
928 is returned to 'actions'.
929 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
930 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
932 Refactoring / cleanups:
933 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
934 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
937 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
938 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
939 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
941 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
944 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
945 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
948 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
951 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
952 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
953 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
955 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
958 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
959 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
960 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
962 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
965 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
966 application class immutable without that option.
967 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
968 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
970 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
971 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
972 (hopefully) future versions.
973 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
974 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
976 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
978 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
979 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
980 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
981 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
982 Request-URI of the Request-Line
984 Refactoring / cleanups:
985 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
986 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
987 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
988 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
989 known issues with 5.8.3.
990 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
991 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
994 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
995 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
996 for the controller namespace
997 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
998 expand_component_module (rjbs)
999 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1000 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1001 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1002 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1004 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1005 frontend port (jshirley)
1006 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1010 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1011 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1012 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1013 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1016 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1019 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1020 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1021 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1023 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1024 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1025 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1026 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1027 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1028 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1032 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1033 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1034 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1037 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1040 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1041 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1043 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1044 in some environments.
1045 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1046 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1047 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1048 except works correctly with closures.
1049 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1050 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1051 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1052 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1053 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1054 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1055 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1058 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1059 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1060 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1061 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1062 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1063 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1065 Refactoring / cleanups:
1066 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1067 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1068 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1069 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1071 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1072 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1073 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1075 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1076 again in Catalyst::Test
1078 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1081 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1082 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1085 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1088 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1089 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1090 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1092 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1095 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1096 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1099 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1100 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1104 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1105 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1106 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1107 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1108 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1110 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1111 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1112 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1113 controller naming. (random)
1114 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1115 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1116 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1117 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1118 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1120 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1122 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1123 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1124 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1126 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1127 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1128 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1129 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1130 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1131 to report 'Unknown Error'
1132 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1133 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1134 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1135 parse_on_demand is on
1137 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1138 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1139 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1140 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1141 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1142 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1143 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1144 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1145 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1147 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1148 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1149 Test::Aggregate is available.
1150 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1151 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1152 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1153 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1154 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1155 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1156 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1157 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1158 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1159 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1160 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1161 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1162 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1163 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1164 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1165 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1166 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1167 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1168 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1171 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1172 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1173 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1174 configuration in your application.
1176 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1177 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1178 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1180 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1181 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1183 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1184 has been made private
1185 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1186 the request parameters with undef + test
1187 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1188 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1190 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1192 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1193 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1194 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1196 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1197 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1198 warning on recent Moose versions.
1199 - Add delta documentation
1200 - Clean up recursion errors
1201 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1202 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1204 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1205 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1207 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1208 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1209 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1210 tries to chain to itself
1212 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1213 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1214 - Tests for this (radek)
1215 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1216 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1217 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1218 - Tests for this (radek)
1219 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1220 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1221 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1222 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1224 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1225 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1227 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1229 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1230 in production versions
1231 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1232 the correct metaclass
1233 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1234 the restarter process
1235 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1236 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1238 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1239 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1240 immutable restart correctly.

1259 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1260 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1261 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1262 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1264 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1265 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1325 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1327 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
