1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 Refactoring / cleanups:
4 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
5 (and then skipped) normally.
7 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
10 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
11 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
14 Refactoring / cleanups:
15 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
16 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
18 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
21 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
22 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
23 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
24 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
25 as there is no recommended alternative.
26 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
27 fallback for fully qualified component names.
28 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
29 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
30 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
31 startup, rather than with the first hit.
32 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
33 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
34 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
35 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
36 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
37 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
38 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
39 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
42 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
43 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
44 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
45 deprecated and causes warnings).
46 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
47 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
49 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
51 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
52 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
53 is deprecated (RT#51489)
56 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
57 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
58 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
59 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
60 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
62 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
63 exception classes need to implement.
64 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
65 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
68 Refactoring / cleanups:
69 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
70 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
71 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
72 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
73 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
74 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
75 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
77 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
80 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
81 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
82 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
83 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
85 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
86 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
87 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
90 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
91 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
94 Refactoring / cleanups:
95 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
96 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
97 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
98 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
99 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
101 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
104 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
105 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
106 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
107 now loaded at most once + tests.
108 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
109 is returned to 'actions'.
110 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
111 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
113 Refactoring / cleanups:
114 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
115 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
118 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
119 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
120 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
122 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
125 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
126 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
129 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
132 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
133 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
134 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
136 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
139 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
140 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
141 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
143 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
146 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
147 application class immutable without that option.
148 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
149 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
151 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
152 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
153 (hopefully) future versions.
154 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
155 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
157 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
159 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
160 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
161 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
162 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
163 Request-URI of the Request-Line
165 Refactoring / cleanups:
166 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
167 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
168 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
169 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
170 known issues with 5.8.3.
171 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
172 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
175 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
176 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
177 for the controller namespace
178 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
179 expand_component_module (rjbs)
180 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
181 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
182 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
183 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
185 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
186 frontend port (jshirley)
187 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
191 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
192 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
193 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
194 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
197 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
200 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
201 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
202 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
204 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
205 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
206 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
207 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
208 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
209 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
213 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
214 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
215 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
218 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
221 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
222 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
224 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
225 in some environments.
226 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
227 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
228 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
229 except works correctly with closures.
230 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
231 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
232 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
234 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
235 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
236 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
239 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
240 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
241 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
242 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
243 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
244 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
246 Refactoring / cleanups:
247 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
248 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
249 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
250 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
252 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
253 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
254 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
256 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
257 again in Catalyst::Test
259 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
262 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
263 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
266 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
269 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
270 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
271 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
273 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
276 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
277 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
280 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
281 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
285 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
286 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
287 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
288 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
289 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
291 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
292 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
293 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
294 controller naming. (random)
295 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
296 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
297 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
298 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
299 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
301 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
303 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
304 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
305 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
307 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
308 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
309 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
310 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
311 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
312 to report 'Unknown Error'
313 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
314 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
315 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
316 parse_on_demand is on
318 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53

324 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
325 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
326 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
328 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
329 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
330 Test::Aggregate is available.
331 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
332 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
333 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
334 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
335 disabling functionality from base controllers.
336 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
337 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
338 incompatibility issues in some cases.

343 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
344 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
345 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
346 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
347 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
348 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
349 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
351 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
352 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
353 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
354 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
355 configuration in your application.
357 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
358 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
359 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
361 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
362 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

367 the request parameters with undef + test
368 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
369 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
371 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
373 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
374 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
375 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
377 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
378 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
379 warning on recent Moose versions.
380 - Add delta documentation
381 - Clean up recursion errors
382 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
383 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
385 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
386 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
388 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
389 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
390 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
391 tries to chain to itself
393 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
394 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
395 - Tests for this (radek)
396 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
397 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
398 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
399 - Tests for this (radek)
400 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
401 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
402 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
403 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
405 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
406 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
408 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
410 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
411 in production versions
412 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
413 the correct metaclass
414 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
415 the restarter process
416 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
417 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
419 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
420 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
421 immutable restart correctly.
423 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
424 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
425 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
426 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
427 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test

437 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
438 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
439 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
440 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
441 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
442 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
443 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
445 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
446 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
447 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
450 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
453 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

479 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
480 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
481 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
482 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
484 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
485 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
486 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
487 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

498 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
499 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
500 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
501 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
502 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
503 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
505 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
506 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
508 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
509 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
510 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
512 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
513 test sync for engines easier
514 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
515 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
517 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
518 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
519 rather than the stringified ref.
520 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
521 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
522 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

526 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
527 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

532 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
533 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
534 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
535 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
536 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
537 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
538 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
539 the key from the instance hash
540 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
541 trivial delegation methods
542 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
