3 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
4 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
5 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
6 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
7 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
8 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
10 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00

19 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
21 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
23 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
24 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
25 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
28 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
31 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
34 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
35 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained

43 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
45 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
47 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
49 Distribution META.yml changes:
50 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
51 mis-parses from the documentation.
52 - x_authority key added.
55 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
56 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
58 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
59 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
62 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
63 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
64 in bleadperl. RT#76437
66 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
67 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
70 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
71 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
73 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
74 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
75 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
77 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
80 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
81 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
82 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
83 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
84 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
85 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
87 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
89 - --background option for the server script now only closes
90 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
91 and other loggers which open a file handle when
92 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
93 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
94 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
97 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
100 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
101 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
102 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
103 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
105 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
108 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
111 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
112 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
113 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
114 included when not running from a checkout.
116 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
118 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
119 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
120 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
122 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
124 New features and refactoring:
125 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
126 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
127 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
129 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
130 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
131 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
134 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
135 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
136 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
138 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
140 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
141 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
142 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
143 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
144 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
145 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
147 Back compatibility fixes:
148 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
149 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
150 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
153 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
156 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
157 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
158 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
160 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
161 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
162 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
164 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
167 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
168 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
169 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
170 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
171 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
174 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
175 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
177 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
178 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
179 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
181 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
184 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
185 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
186 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
187 get them passed through to the application.
190 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
191 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
192 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
193 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
196 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
197 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
198 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
199 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
201 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
202 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
203 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
205 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
206 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
208 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
212 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
213 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
214 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
215 whereas before you had to say:
216 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
217 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
218 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
221 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
222 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
223 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
224 scripts in the application.
225 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
226 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
227 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
232 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
234 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
235 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
236 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
237 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
238 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
239 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
240 and provide an alternative.
242 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
246 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
249 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
252 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
254 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
255 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
256 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
257 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
258 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
259 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
263 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
264 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
266 Backward compatibility fixes:
268 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
269 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
273 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
274 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
276 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
278 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
280 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
281 Backward compatibility fixes:
283 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
284 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
286 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
290 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
291 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
292 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
294 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
296 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
297 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
299 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
303 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
305 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
307 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
309 Backward compatibility fixes:
311 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
313 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
314 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
315 for backward compatibility.
319 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
320 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
324 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
325 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
326 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
328 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
330 Backward compatibility fixes:
332 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
333 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
337 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
340 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
341 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
342 example) Coro is loaded.
344 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
345 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
347 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
348 using MooseX::Deamonize
350 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
351 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
352 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
353 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
354 deployed in these environments.
358 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
362 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
363 file for your application.
365 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
369 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
370 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
372 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
375 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
376 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
378 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
380 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
381 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
383 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
384 IO::Handle's behaviour.
386 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
387 was not breaking out correctly
389 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
390 to also work in the $c->component method.
392 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
393 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
394 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
396 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
398 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
400 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
402 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
403 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
406 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
408 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
411 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
415 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
416 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
417 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
419 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
422 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
424 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
425 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
426 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
428 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
431 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
432 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
433 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
434 the new major version of Catalyst.
437 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
438 of Catalyst has been much improved.
440 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
443 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
444 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
445 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
447 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
449 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
450 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
451 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
453 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
456 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
457 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
458 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
460 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
461 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
465 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
466 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
468 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
469 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
470 developers without changing their application code.
472 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
475 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
476 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
477 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
478 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
479 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
481 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
482 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
484 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
486 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
490 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
491 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
492 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
493 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
494 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
495 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
496 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
498 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
499 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
500 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
501 class, please tell us *now*.
503 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
506 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
508 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
509 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
510 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
511 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
512 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
513 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
516 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
517 the Content-Length header appropriately)
518 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
519 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
520 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
521 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
522 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
523 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
525 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
526 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
527 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
528 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
529 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
530 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
531 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
532 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
535 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
536 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
538 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
541 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
542 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
546 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
547 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
549 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
552 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
554 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
555 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
557 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
559 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
562 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
564 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
567 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
568 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
569 load Utils before MyApp.pm
571 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
574 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
576 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
577 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
578 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
579 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
580 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
582 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
585 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
586 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
587 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
590 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
591 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
596 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
599 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
602 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
603 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
604 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
605 the default action creation.
608 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
609 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
610 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
611 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
612 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
613 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
614 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
617 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
619 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
621 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
623 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
626 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
627 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
628 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
629 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
630 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
633 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
634 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
637 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
638 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
639 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
640 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
642 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
645 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
646 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
647 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
648 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
649 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
650 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
651 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
652 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
655 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
656 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
657 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
659 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
660 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
661 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
662 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
665 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
666 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
669 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
670 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
673 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
676 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
677 the content type and content length if available.
679 Refactoring / optimizations:
680 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
681 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
682 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
683 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
684 screen as easy to write.
685 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
686 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
687 in parameter filtering (for example).
688 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
689 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
690 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
691 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
692 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
695 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
696 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
697 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
698 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
700 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
703 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
704 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
706 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
709 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
710 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
712 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
715 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
716 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
717 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
718 which should not be encoded.
719 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
720 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
722 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
723 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
724 any set of args/captures.
726 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
727 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
729 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
733 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
735 - Various minor typo fixes.
738 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
740 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
743 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
744 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
745 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
748 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
749 - Clarify documentation about debug
752 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
753 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
754 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
756 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
759 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
760 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
764 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
765 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
767 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
768 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
769 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
770 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
771 argv key in the options hash.
772 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
773 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
774 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
775 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
777 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
781 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
782 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
783 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
784 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
785 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
787 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
791 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
792 encoding test controller.
794 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
796 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
797 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
798 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
799 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
801 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
802 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
803 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
804 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
805 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
807 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
811 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
812 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
813 less packed with information of no use.
817 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
819 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
821 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
822 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
823 the single character '0'.
824 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
827 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
828 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
829 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
831 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
833 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
834 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
835 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
836 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
837 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
838 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
839 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
840 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
841 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
842 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
843 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
844 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
846 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
847 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
849 Refactoring / cleanups:
850 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
851 (and then skipped) normally.
854 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
856 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
859 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
860 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
861 on the old behaviour.
863 Refactoring / cleanups:
864 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
865 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
867 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
870 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
871 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
872 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
873 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
874 as there is no recommended alternative.
875 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
876 fallback for fully qualified component names.
877 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
878 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
879 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
880 startup, rather than with the first hit.
881 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
882 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
883 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
884 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
885 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
886 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
887 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
888 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
891 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
892 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
893 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
894 deprecated and causes warnings).
895 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
896 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
897 in the correct order.
898 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
900 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
901 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
902 is deprecated (RT#51489)
905 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
906 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
907 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
908 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
909 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
911 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
912 exception classes need to implement.
913 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
914 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
917 Refactoring / cleanups:
918 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
919 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
920 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
921 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
922 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
923 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
924 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
926 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
929 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
930 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
931 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
932 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
934 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
935 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
936 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
939 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
940 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
943 Refactoring / cleanups:
944 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
945 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
946 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
947 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
948 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
950 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
953 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
954 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
955 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
956 now loaded at most once + tests.
957 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
958 is returned to 'actions'.
959 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
960 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
962 Refactoring / cleanups:
963 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
964 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
967 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
968 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
969 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
971 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
974 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
975 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
978 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
981 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
982 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
983 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
985 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
988 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
989 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
990 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
992 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
995 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
996 application class immutable without that option.
997 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
998 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1000 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1001 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1002 (hopefully) future versions.
1003 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1004 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1005 variables (RT#48555)
1006 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1008 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1009 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1010 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1011 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1012 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1014 Refactoring / cleanups:
1015 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1016 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1017 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1018 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1019 known issues with 5.8.3.
1020 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1021 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1024 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1025 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1026 for the controller namespace
1027 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1028 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1029 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1030 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1031 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1032 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1034 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1035 frontend port (jshirley)
1036 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1040 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1041 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1042 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1043 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1046 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1049 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1050 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1051 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1053 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1054 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1055 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1056 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1057 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1058 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1062 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1063 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1064 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1067 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1070 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1071 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1073 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1074 in some environments.
1075 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1076 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1077 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1078 except works correctly with closures.
1079 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1080 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1081 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1082 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1083 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1084 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1085 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1088 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1089 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1090 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1091 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1092 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1093 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1095 Refactoring / cleanups:
1096 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1097 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1098 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1099 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1101 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1102 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1103 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1105 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1106 again in Catalyst::Test
1108 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1111 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1112 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1115 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1118 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1119 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1120 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1122 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1125 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1126 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1129 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1130 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1134 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1135 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1136 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1137 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1138 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1140 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1141 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1142 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1143 controller naming. (random)
1144 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1145 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1146 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1147 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1148 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1150 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1152 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1153 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1154 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1156 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1157 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1158 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1159 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1160 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1161 to report 'Unknown Error'
1162 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1163 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1164 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1165 parse_on_demand is on
1167 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1168 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1169 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1170 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1171 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1172 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1173 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1174 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1175 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1177 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1178 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1179 Test::Aggregate is available.
1180 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1181 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1182 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1183 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1184 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1185 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1186 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1187 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1188 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1189 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1190 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1191 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1192 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1193 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1194 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1195 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1196 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1197 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1198 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1201 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1202 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1203 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1204 configuration in your application.
1206 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1207 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1208 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1210 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1211 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1213 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1214 has been made private
1215 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1216 the request parameters with undef + test
1217 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1218 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1220 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1222 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1223 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1224 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1226 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1227 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1228 warning on recent Moose versions.

1243 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1244 - Tests for this (radek)
1245 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1246 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1247 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1248 - Tests for this (radek)

1291 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1292 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1294 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
