3 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
4 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
7 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
8 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
11 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
12 - Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
14 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
15 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
17 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
19 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
20 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
22 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
24 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
25 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
26 of request or response classes.
28 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
29 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
30 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
31 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
32 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
33 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
34 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
35 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
36 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
37 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
39 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
40 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
41 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
42 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
43 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
45 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
47 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
48 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
50 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
52 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
53 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
54 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
57 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
60 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
63 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
64 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
66 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
69 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
72 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
74 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
76 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
78 Distribution META.yml changes:
79 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
80 mis-parses from the documentation.
81 - x_authority key added.
84 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
85 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
87 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
88 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
91 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
92 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
93 in bleadperl. RT#76437
95 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
96 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
99 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
100 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
102 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
103 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
104 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
106 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
109 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
110 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
111 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
112 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
113 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
114 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
116 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
118 - --background option for the server script now only closes
119 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
120 and other loggers which open a file handle when
121 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
122 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
123 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
126 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
129 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
130 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
131 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
132 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
134 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
137 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
140 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
141 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
142 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
143 included when not running from a checkout.
145 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
147 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
148 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
149 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
151 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
153 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
155 New features and refactoring:
156 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
157 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
158 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
160 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
161 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
162 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
165 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
166 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
167 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
169 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
171 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
172 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
173 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
174 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
175 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
176 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
178 Back compatibility fixes:
179 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
180 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
181 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
184 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
187 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
188 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
189 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
191 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
192 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
193 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
195 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
198 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
199 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
200 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
201 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
202 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
205 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
206 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
208 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
209 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
210 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
212 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
215 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
216 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
217 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
218 get them passed through to the application.
221 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
222 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
223 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
224 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
227 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
228 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
229 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
230 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
232 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
233 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
234 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
236 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
237 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
239 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
243 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
244 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
245 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
246 whereas before you had to say:
247 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
248 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
249 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
252 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
253 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
254 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
255 scripts in the application.
256 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
257 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
258 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
263 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
265 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
266 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
267 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
268 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
269 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
270 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
271 and provide an alternative.
273 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
277 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
280 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
283 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
285 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
286 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
287 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
288 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
289 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
290 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
294 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
295 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
297 Backward compatibility fixes:
299 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
300 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
304 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
305 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
307 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
309 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
311 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
312 Backward compatibility fixes:
314 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
315 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
317 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
321 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
322 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
323 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
325 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
327 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
328 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
330 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
334 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
336 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
338 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
340 Backward compatibility fixes:
342 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
344 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
345 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
346 for backward compatibility.
350 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
351 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
355 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
356 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
357 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
359 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
361 Backward compatibility fixes:
363 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
364 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
368 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
371 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
372 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
373 example) Coro is loaded.
375 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
376 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
378 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
379 using MooseX::Deamonize
381 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
382 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
383 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
384 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
385 deployed in these environments.
389 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
393 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
394 file for your application.
396 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
400 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
401 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
403 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
406 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
407 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
409 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
411 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
412 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
414 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
415 IO::Handle's behaviour.
417 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
418 was not breaking out correctly
420 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
421 to also work in the $c->component method.
423 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
424 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
425 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
427 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
429 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
431 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
433 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
434 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
437 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
439 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
442 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
446 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
447 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
448 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
450 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
453 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
455 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
456 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
457 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
459 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
462 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
463 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
464 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
465 the new major version of Catalyst.
468 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
469 of Catalyst has been much improved.
471 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
474 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
475 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
476 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
478 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
480 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
481 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
482 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
484 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
487 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
488 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
489 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
491 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
492 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
496 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
497 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
499 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
500 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
501 developers without changing their application code.
503 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
506 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
507 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
508 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
509 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
510 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
512 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
513 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
515 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
517 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
521 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
522 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
523 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
524 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
525 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
526 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
527 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
529 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
530 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
531 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
532 class, please tell us *now*.
534 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
537 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
539 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
540 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
541 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
542 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
543 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
544 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
547 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
548 the Content-Length header appropriately)
549 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
550 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
551 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
552 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
553 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
554 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
556 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
557 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
558 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
559 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
560 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
561 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
562 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
563 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
566 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
567 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
569 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
572 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
573 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
577 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
578 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
580 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
583 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
585 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
586 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
588 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
590 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
593 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
595 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
598 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
599 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
600 load Utils before MyApp.pm
602 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
605 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
607 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
608 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
609 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
610 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
611 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
613 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
616 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
617 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
618 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
621 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
622 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
627 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
630 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
633 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
634 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
635 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
636 the default action creation.
639 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
640 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
641 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
642 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
643 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
644 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
645 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
648 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
650 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
652 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
654 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
657 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
658 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
659 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
660 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
661 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
664 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
665 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
668 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
669 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
670 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
671 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
673 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
676 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
677 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
678 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
679 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
680 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
681 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
682 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
683 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
686 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
687 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
688 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
690 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
691 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
692 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
693 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
696 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
697 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
700 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
701 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
704 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
707 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
708 the content type and content length if available.
710 Refactoring / optimizations:
711 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
712 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
713 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
714 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
715 screen as easy to write.
716 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
717 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
718 in parameter filtering (for example).
719 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
720 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
721 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
722 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
723 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
726 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
727 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
728 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
729 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
731 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
734 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
735 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
737 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
740 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
741 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
743 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
746 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
747 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
748 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
749 which should not be encoded.
750 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
751 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
753 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
754 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
755 any set of args/captures.
757 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
758 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
760 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
764 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
766 - Various minor typo fixes.
769 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
771 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
774 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
775 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
776 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
779 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
780 - Clarify documentation about debug
783 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
784 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
785 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
787 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
790 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
791 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
795 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
796 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
798 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
799 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
800 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
801 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
802 argv key in the options hash.
803 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
804 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
805 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
806 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
808 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
812 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
813 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
814 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
815 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
816 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
818 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
822 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
823 encoding test controller.
825 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
827 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
828 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
829 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
830 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
832 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
833 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
834 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
835 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
836 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
838 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
842 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
843 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
844 less packed with information of no use.
848 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
850 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
852 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
853 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
854 the single character '0'.
855 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
858 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
859 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
860 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
862 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
864 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
865 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
866 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
867 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
868 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
869 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
870 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
871 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
872 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
873 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
874 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
875 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
877 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
878 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
880 Refactoring / cleanups:
881 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
882 (and then skipped) normally.
885 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
887 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
890 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
891 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
892 on the old behaviour.
894 Refactoring / cleanups:
895 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
896 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
898 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
901 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
902 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
903 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
904 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
905 as there is no recommended alternative.
906 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
907 fallback for fully qualified component names.
908 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
909 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
910 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
911 startup, rather than with the first hit.
912 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
913 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
914 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
915 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
916 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
917 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
918 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
919 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
922 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
923 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
924 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
925 deprecated and causes warnings).
926 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
927 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
928 in the correct order.
929 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
931 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
932 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
933 is deprecated (RT#51489)
936 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
937 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
938 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
939 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
940 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
942 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
943 exception classes need to implement.
944 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
945 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
948 Refactoring / cleanups:
949 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
950 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
951 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
952 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
953 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
954 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
955 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
957 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
960 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
961 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
962 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
963 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
965 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
966 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
967 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
970 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
971 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
974 Refactoring / cleanups:
975 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
976 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
977 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
978 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
979 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
981 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
984 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
985 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
986 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
987 now loaded at most once + tests.
988 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
989 is returned to 'actions'.
990 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
991 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
993 Refactoring / cleanups:
994 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
995 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
998 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
999 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1000 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1002 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1005 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1006 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1009 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1012 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1013 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1014 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1016 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1019 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1020 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1021 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1023 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1026 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1027 application class immutable without that option.
1028 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1029 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1031 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1032 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1033 (hopefully) future versions.
1034 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1035 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1036 variables (RT#48555)
1037 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1039 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1040 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1041 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1042 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1043 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1045 Refactoring / cleanups:
1046 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1047 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1048 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1049 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1050 known issues with 5.8.3.
1051 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1052 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1055 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1056 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1057 for the controller namespace
1058 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1059 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1060 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1061 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1062 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1063 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1065 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1066 frontend port (jshirley)
1067 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1071 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1072 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1073 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1074 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1077 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1080 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1081 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1082 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1084 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1085 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1086 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1087 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1088 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1089 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1093 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1094 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1095 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1098 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1101 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1102 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1104 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1105 in some environments.
1106 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1107 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1108 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1109 except works correctly with closures.
1110 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1111 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1112 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1113 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1114 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1115 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1116 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1119 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1120 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1121 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1122 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1123 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1124 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1126 Refactoring / cleanups:
1127 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1128 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1129 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1130 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1132 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1133 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1134 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1136 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1137 again in Catalyst::Test
1139 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1142 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1143 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1146 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1149 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1150 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1151 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1153 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1156 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1157 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1160 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1161 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1165 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1166 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1167 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1168 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1169 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1171 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1172 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1173 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1174 controller naming. (random)
1175 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1176 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1177 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1178 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1179 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1181 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1183 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1184 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1185 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1187 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1188 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1189 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1190 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1191 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1192 to report 'Unknown Error'
1193 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1194 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1195 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1196 parse_on_demand is on
1198 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1199 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1200 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1201 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1202 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1203 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1204 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1205 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1206 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1208 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1209 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1210 Test::Aggregate is available.
1211 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1212 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1213 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1214 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1215 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1216 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1217 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1218 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1219 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1220 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1221 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1222 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1223 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1224 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1225 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1226 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1227 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1228 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1229 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1232 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1233 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1234 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1235 configuration in your application.

1269 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1270 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1271 tries to chain to itself
1273 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1274 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1275 - Tests for this (radek)
1276 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1277 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1278 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1279 - Tests for this (radek)

1288 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1290 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1291 in production versions
1292 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1293 the correct metaclass
1294 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1295 the restarter process
1296 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1297 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1299 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1300 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1301 immutable restart correctly.
1303 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1304 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1317 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1318 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1320 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1321 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1322 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1323 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1325 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1326 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1327 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1365 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1366 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1386 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1388 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1389 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1414 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1415 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1416 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1587 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1588 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
