4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
9 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
11 Refactoring / cleanups:
12 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
13 (and then skipped) normally.
16 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
18 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
21 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
22 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
25 Refactoring / cleanups:
26 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
27 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
29 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
32 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
33 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
34 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
35 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
36 as there is no recommended alternative.
37 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
38 fallback for fully qualified component names.
39 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
40 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
41 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
42 startup, rather than with the first hit.
43 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
44 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
45 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
46 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
47 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
48 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
49 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
50 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
53 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
54 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
55 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
56 deprecated and causes warnings).
57 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
58 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
60 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
62 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
63 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
64 is deprecated (RT#51489)
67 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
68 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
69 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
70 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
71 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
73 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
74 exception classes need to implement.
75 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
76 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
79 Refactoring / cleanups:
80 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
81 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
82 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
83 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
84 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
85 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
86 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
88 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
91 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
92 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
93 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
94 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
96 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
97 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
98 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
101 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
102 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
105 Refactoring / cleanups:
106 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
107 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
108 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
109 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
110 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
112 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
115 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
116 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
117 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
118 now loaded at most once + tests.
119 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
120 is returned to 'actions'.
121 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
122 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
124 Refactoring / cleanups:
125 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
126 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
129 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
130 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
131 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
133 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
136 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
137 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
140 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
143 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
144 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
145 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
147 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
150 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
151 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
152 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
154 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
157 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
158 application class immutable without that option.
159 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
160 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
162 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
163 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
164 (hopefully) future versions.
165 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
166 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
168 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
170 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
171 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
172 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
173 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
174 Request-URI of the Request-Line
176 Refactoring / cleanups:
177 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
178 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
179 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
180 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
181 known issues with 5.8.3.
182 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
183 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
186 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
187 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
188 for the controller namespace
189 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
190 expand_component_module (rjbs)
191 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
192 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
193 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
194 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
196 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
197 frontend port (jshirley)
198 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
202 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
203 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
204 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
205 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
208 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
211 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
212 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
213 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
215 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
216 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
217 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
218 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
219 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
220 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
224 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
225 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
226 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
229 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
232 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
233 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
235 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
236 in some environments.
237 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
238 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
239 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
240 except works correctly with closures.
241 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
242 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
243 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
245 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
246 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
247 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
250 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
251 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
252 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
253 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
254 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
255 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
257 Refactoring / cleanups:
258 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
259 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
260 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
261 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
263 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
264 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
265 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
267 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
268 again in Catalyst::Test
270 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
273 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
274 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
277 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
280 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
281 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
282 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
284 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
287 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
288 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
291 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
292 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
296 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
297 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
298 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
299 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
300 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
302 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
303 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
304 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
305 controller naming. (random)

307 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
308 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
309 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
310 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
312 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
314 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
315 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
316 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
318 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
319 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
320 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
321 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
322 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
323 to report 'Unknown Error'
324 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
325 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
326 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
327 parse_on_demand is on

336 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
337 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
339 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
340 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
341 Test::Aggregate is available.
342 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
343 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
344 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
345 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
346 disabling functionality from base controllers.
347 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
348 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass

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

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

448 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
449 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
450 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
451 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
452 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
453 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
454 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
456 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
457 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
458 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
461 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

493 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
495 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
496 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
497 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

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

543 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
544 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
545 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
546 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
547 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
548 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
549 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
550 the key from the instance hash
551 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
552 trivial delegation methods
553 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
554 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
