1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - avoid problematic test using sysread() on :utf8 filehandles on dev perl
4 versions where this is fatal (starting with 5.29.4). see RT#125843.
7 - fix test for changes in MooseX::Getopt 0.73 (RT#127050)
10 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)
11 - ensure catalyst.pl is included with dist
12 - drop IO::Scalar prereq
13 - include optional test prereqs as develop prereqs
14 - remove unused developer prereq on Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
15 - use namespace::clean consistently rather than namespace::autoclean
16 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
17 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
18 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
19 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
20 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
21 - POD typo and syntax fixes
24 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
27 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
28 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
29 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
30 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
31 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
33 - PR154 - Few dependencies
34 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
37 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
39 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
40 - documentation improvements (ether++)
41 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
42 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
44 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
45 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
48 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
49 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
50 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
52 - Tweaked travis CI script.
55 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
56 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
57 is a 'root' controller.
58 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
59 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
60 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
61 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
65 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
66 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
67 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
70 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
73 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
74 override many core method.
75 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
76 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
77 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
78 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
79 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
80 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
81 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
82 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
83 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
86 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
87 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
88 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
89 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
90 in some configurations.
93 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
94 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
95 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
96 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
97 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
98 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
99 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
100 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
101 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
102 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
103 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
106 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
107 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
108 improve reporting details.
109 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
110 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
113 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
114 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
115 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
116 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
117 which was introduced in the last release.
118 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
121 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
122 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
124 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
125 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
126 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
127 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
128 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
129 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
132 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
133 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
136 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
137 with type constraints.
138 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
139 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
140 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
141 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
142 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
143 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
146 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
147 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
149 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
150 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
151 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
152 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
155 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
156 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
157 to define behavior better.
160 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
162 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
163 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
164 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
165 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
168 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
169 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
170 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
171 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
172 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
173 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
174 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
175 - Merged Pull Requests:
176 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
177 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
178 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
179 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
180 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
181 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
184 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
185 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
188 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
189 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
190 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
191 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
192 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
193 that has proven to work for years.)
196 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
197 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
198 even though they were actually created).
201 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
202 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
203 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
204 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
205 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
207 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
208 - Added swanky github badges.
209 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
210 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
211 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
212 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
215 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
216 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
217 raise an error when registering its actions.
218 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
219 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
220 the injection and do custom injection types.
222 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
223 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
224 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
226 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
227 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
228 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
229 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
231 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
232 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
233 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
234 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
235 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
236 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
237 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
238 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
239 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
240 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
242 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
243 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
244 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
245 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
246 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
247 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
248 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
249 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
251 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
252 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
253 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
254 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
255 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
256 stand alone classes...).
257 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
258 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
259 report any stats related issues.
260 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
261 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
262 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
263 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
264 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
265 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
266 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
268 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
269 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
270 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
271 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
273 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
274 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
275 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
276 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
277 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
278 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
281 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
282 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
283 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
284 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
285 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
286 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
287 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
288 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
289 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
290 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
291 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
292 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
295 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
296 trying to create parameters twice.
297 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
298 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
299 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
300 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
301 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
302 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
303 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
304 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
305 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
306 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
307 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
310 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
311 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
312 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
313 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
314 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
315 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
318 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
319 to prevent it happening again.
322 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
323 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
324 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
325 test case to prevent regressions.
328 - Minor documentation corrections
329 - Make the '79 development series stable
331 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
332 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
333 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
334 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
335 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
337 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
338 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
339 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
340 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
341 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
342 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
343 changes introduced in v5.90080.
345 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
346 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
347 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
348 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
349 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
350 note posted a few months ago.
351 - Added my name to the contributors list
353 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
354 - Merged changes from 5.90078
355 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
356 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
357 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
358 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
359 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
360 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
361 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
362 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
363 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
364 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
365 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
367 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
368 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
369 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
371 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
372 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
373 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
374 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
375 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
376 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
377 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
378 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
379 has already been called (and headers already sent).
380 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
381 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
383 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
384 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
385 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
387 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
388 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
391 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
392 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
393 existing Plack conventions.
394 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
395 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
396 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
397 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
398 don't bubble back up to the main application.
399 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
400 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
401 I highly suggest you test this release.
402 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
403 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
404 correct if incorrect :)
405 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
406 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
407 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
408 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
409 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
410 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
411 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
412 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
413 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
415 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
416 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
417 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
419 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
420 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
421 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
422 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
426 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
428 - updated year in copyright notices
431 - POD corrections (sergey++)
432 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
433 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
434 trouble. (davewood++);
435 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
436 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
437 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
440 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
441 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
442 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
443 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
444 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
447 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
448 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
449 HTTP Exception middleware.
452 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
453 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
454 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
455 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
456 you really need to review this exploit.
459 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
462 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
463 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
464 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
465 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
467 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
470 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
471 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
472 so you can go to hunt it out.
475 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
476 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
477 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
478 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
479 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
480 - Added Italian translation of default error.
483 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
486 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
487 certain tests. No other changes.
490 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
491 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
492 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
494 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
496 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
498 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
502 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
503 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
504 questions or problems!
505 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
506 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
507 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
508 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
509 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
510 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
511 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
512 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
513 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
516 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
517 - documentation and test fixes
520 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
521 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
522 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
523 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
524 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
525 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
526 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
529 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
530 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
533 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
534 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
535 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
536 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
537 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
538 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
539 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
540 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
542 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
545 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
546 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
549 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
550 introduced by a change in December.
553 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
556 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
557 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
558 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
559 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
560 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
563 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
564 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
565 reported while installing.
566 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
567 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
568 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
569 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
570 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
571 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
572 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
573 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
574 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
575 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
576 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
577 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
578 - update copyright notices.
580 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
581 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
582 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
583 fails to install (sorry).
584 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
585 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
586 middleware deal with it.
588 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
589 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
590 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
591 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
592 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
593 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
594 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
595 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
596 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
598 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
599 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
600 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
601 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
602 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
603 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
604 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
605 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
606 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
607 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
609 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
610 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
611 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
612 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
616 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
617 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
618 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
619 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
620 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
621 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
625 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
626 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
627 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
629 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
630 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
631 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
633 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
634 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
635 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
636 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
638 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
639 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
640 - Various POD formatting fixed.
641 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
642 accept and issues that might arise.
645 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
646 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
649 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
650 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
651 for internal methods:
653 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
654 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
655 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
657 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
658 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
659 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
660 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
662 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
663 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
664 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
666 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
667 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
668 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
669 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
670 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
672 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
673 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
674 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
675 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
676 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
677 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
678 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
679 cases to reflect this change.
681 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
682 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
683 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
684 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
685 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
686 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
687 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
688 those keys already exist). Keys added:
689 - plack.request.query
691 - plack.request.merged
692 - plack.request.http.body
693 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
694 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
695 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
696 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
697 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
698 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
699 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
700 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
701 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
702 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
703 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
704 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
705 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
706 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
707 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
708 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
709 is a scalar or arrayref.
710 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
711 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
713 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
714 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
715 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
717 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
718 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
719 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
720 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
721 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
722 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
723 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
724 a development setup (ether++)
726 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
727 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
728 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
729 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
730 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
731 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
732 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
733 case t/data_handler.t
735 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
736 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
737 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
738 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
739 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
742 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
743 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
744 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
745 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
747 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
749 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
753 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
754 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
755 this fixes all of them.
756 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
757 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
758 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
759 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
761 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
764 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
765 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
766 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
767 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
768 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
769 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
770 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
772 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
773 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
774 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
775 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
776 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
777 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
779 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
780 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
781 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
782 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
783 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
784 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
785 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
786 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
788 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
791 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
792 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
793 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
794 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
795 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
796 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
798 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
799 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
800 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
801 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
802 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
803 - smarter validation around action attributes.
806 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
807 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
808 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
809 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
810 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
811 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
812 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
813 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
814 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
815 in behavior is compatible on its own.
816 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
817 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
818 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
819 - Some test and documentation improvements
821 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
822 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
823 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
824 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
827 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
828 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
831 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
832 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
834 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
835 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
837 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
839 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
840 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
842 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
844 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
845 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
846 of request or response classes.
848 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
849 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
850 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
851 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
852 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
853 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
854 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
855 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
856 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
857 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
859 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
860 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
861 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
862 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
863 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
865 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
867 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
868 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
870 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
872 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
873 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
874 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
877 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
880 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
883 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
884 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
886 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
889 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
892 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
894 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
896 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
898 Distribution META.yml changes:
899 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
900 mis-parses from the documentation.
901 - x_authority key added.
904 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
905 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
907 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
908 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
909 is less than helpful.
911 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
912 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
913 in bleadperl. RT#76437
915 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
916 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
919 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
920 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
922 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
923 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
924 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
926 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
929 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
930 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
931 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
932 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
933 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
934 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
936 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
938 - --background option for the server script now only closes
939 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
940 and other loggers which open a file handle when
941 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
942 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
943 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
946 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
949 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
950 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
951 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
952 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
954 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
957 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
960 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
961 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
962 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
963 included when not running from a checkout.
965 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
967 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
968 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
969 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
971 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
973 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
975 New features and refactoring:
976 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
977 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
978 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
980 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
981 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
982 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
985 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
986 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
987 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
989 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
991 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
992 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
993 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
994 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
995 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
996 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
998 Back compatibility fixes:
999 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
1000 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
1001 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
1004 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1007 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1008 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1009 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1011 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1012 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1013 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1015 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1018 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1019 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1020 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1021 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1022 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1025 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1026 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1028 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1029 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1030 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1032 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1035 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1036 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1037 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1038 get them passed through to the application.
1041 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1042 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1043 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1044 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1047 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1048 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1049 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1050 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1052 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1053 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1054 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1056 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1057 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1059 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1063 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1064 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1065 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1066 whereas before you had to say:
1067 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1068 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1069 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1072 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1073 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1074 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1075 scripts in the application.
1076 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1077 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1078 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1083 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1085 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1086 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1087 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1088 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1089 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1090 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1091 and provide an alternative.
1093 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1097 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1098 MyApp->engine_class.
1100 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1103 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1105 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1106 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1107 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1108 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1109 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1110 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1114 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1115 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1117 Backward compatibility fixes:
1119 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1120 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1122 Documentation fixes:
1124 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1125 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1127 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1129 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1131 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1132 Backward compatibility fixes:
1134 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1135 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1137 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1139 Documentation fixes:
1141 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1142 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1143 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1145 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1147 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1148 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1150 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1152 Cut another release.
1154 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1156 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1158 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1160 Backward compatibility fixes:
1162 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1164 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1165 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1166 for backward compatibility.
1170 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1171 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1175 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1176 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1177 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1179 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1181 Backward compatibility fixes:
1183 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1184 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1188 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1189 been made immutable.
1191 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1192 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1193 example) Coro is loaded.
1195 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1196 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1198 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1199 using MooseX::Deamonize
1201 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1202 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1203 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1204 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1205 deployed in these environments.
1209 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1213 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1214 file for your application.
1216 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1220 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1221 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1223 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1226 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1227 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1229 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1231 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1232 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1234 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1235 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1237 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1238 was not breaking out correctly
1240 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1241 to also work in the $c->component method.
1243 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1244 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1245 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1247 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1249 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1251 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1253 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1254 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1257 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1259 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1262 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1263 not being installed.
1266 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1267 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1268 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1270 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1273 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1275 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1276 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1277 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1279 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1282 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1283 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1284 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1285 the new major version of Catalyst.
1288 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1289 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1291 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1294 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1295 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1296 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1298 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1300 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1301 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1302 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1304 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1305 in Catalyst::execute
1307 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1308 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1309 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1311 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1312 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1316 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1317 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1319 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1320 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1321 developers without changing their application code.
1323 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1326 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1327 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1328 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1329 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1330 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1332 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1333 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1335 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1337 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1341 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1342 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1343 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1344 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1345 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1346 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1347 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1349 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1350 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1351 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1352 class, please tell us *now*.
1354 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1357 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1359 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1360 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1361 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1362 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1363 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1364 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1367 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1368 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1369 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1370 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1371 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1372 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1373 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1374 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1376 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1377 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1378 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1379 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1380 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1381 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1382 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1383 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1386 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1387 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1389 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1392 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1393 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1397 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1398 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1400 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1403 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1405 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1406 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1408 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1410 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1413 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1415 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1418 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1419 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1420 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1422 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1425 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1427 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1428 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1429 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1430 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1431 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1433 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1436 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1437 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1438 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1441 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1442 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1447 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1450 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1453 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1454 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1455 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1456 the default action creation.
1459 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1460 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1461 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1462 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1463 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1464 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1465 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1468 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1470 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1472 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1474 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1477 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1478 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1479 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1480 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1481 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1484 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1485 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1488 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1489 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1490 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1491 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1493 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1496 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1497 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1498 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1499 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1500 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1501 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1502 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1503 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1506 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1507 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1508 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1510 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1511 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1512 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1513 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1516 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1517 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1520 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1521 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1524 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1527 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1528 the content type and content length if available.
1530 Refactoring / optimizations:
1531 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1532 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1533 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1534 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1535 screen as easy to write.
1536 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1537 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1538 in parameter filtering (for example).
1539 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1540 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1541 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1542 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1543 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1546 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1547 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1548 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1549 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1551 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1554 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1555 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1557 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1560 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1561 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1563 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1566 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1567 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1568 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1569 which should not be encoded.
1570 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1571 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1573 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1574 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1575 any set of args/captures.
1577 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1578 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1580 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1584 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1586 - Various minor typo fixes.
1589 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1591 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1594 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1595 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1596 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1599 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1600 - Clarify documentation about debug
1603 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1604 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1605 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1607 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1610 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1611 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1615 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1616 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1618 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1619 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1620 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1621 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1622 argv key in the options hash.
1623 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1624 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1625 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1626 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1628 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1632 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1633 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1634 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1635 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1636 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1638 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1642 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1643 encoding test controller.
1645 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1647 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1648 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1650 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1652 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1653 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1654 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1655 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1656 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1658 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1662 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1663 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1664 less packed with information of no use.
1668 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1670 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1672 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1673 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1674 the single character '0'.
1675 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1678 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1679 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1680 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1682 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1684 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1685 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1686 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1687 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1688 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1689 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1690 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1691 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1692 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1693 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1694 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1695 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1697 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1698 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1700 Refactoring / cleanups:
1701 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1702 (and then skipped) normally.
1705 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1707 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1710 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1711 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1712 on the old behaviour.
1714 Refactoring / cleanups:
1715 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1716 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1718 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1721 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1722 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1723 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1724 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1725 as there is no recommended alternative.
1726 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1727 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1728 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1729 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1730 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1731 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1732 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1733 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1734 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1735 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1736 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1737 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1738 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1739 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1742 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1743 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1744 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1745 deprecated and causes warnings).
1746 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1747 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1748 in the correct order.
1749 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1751 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1752 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1753 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1756 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1757 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1758 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1759 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1760 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1762 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1763 exception classes need to implement.
1764 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1765 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1768 Refactoring / cleanups:
1769 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1770 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1771 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1772 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1773 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1774 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1775 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1777 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1780 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1781 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1782 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1783 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1785 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1786 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1787 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1790 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1791 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1794 Refactoring / cleanups:
1795 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1796 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1797 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1798 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1799 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1801 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1804 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1805 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1806 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1807 now loaded at most once + tests.
1808 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1809 is returned to 'actions'.
1810 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1811 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1813 Refactoring / cleanups:
1814 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1815 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1818 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1819 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1820 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1822 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1825 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1826 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1829 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1832 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1833 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1834 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1836 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1839 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1840 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1841 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1843 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1846 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1847 application class immutable without that option.
1848 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1849 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1851 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1852 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1853 (hopefully) future versions.
1854 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1855 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1856 variables (RT#48555)
1857 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1859 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1860 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1861 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1862 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1863 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1865 Refactoring / cleanups:
1866 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1867 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1868 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1869 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1870 known issues with 5.8.3.
1871 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1872 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1875 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1876 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1877 for the controller namespace
1878 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1879 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1880 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1881 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1882 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1883 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1885 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1886 frontend port (jshirley)
1887 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1891 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1892 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1893 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1894 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1897 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1900 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1901 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1902 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1904 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1905 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1906 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1907 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1908 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1909 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1913 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1914 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1915 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1918 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1921 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1922 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1924 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1925 in some environments.
1926 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1927 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1928 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1929 except works correctly with closures.
1930 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1931 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1932 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1933 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1934 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1935 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1936 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1939 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1940 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1941 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1942 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1943 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1944 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1946 Refactoring / cleanups:
1947 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1948 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1949 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1950 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1952 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1953 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1954 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1956 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1957 again in Catalyst::Test
1959 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1962 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1963 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1966 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1969 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1970 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1971 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1973 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1976 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1977 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1980 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1981 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1985 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1986 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1987 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1988 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1989 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1991 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1992 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1993 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1994 controller naming. (random)
1995 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1996 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1997 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1998 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1999 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
2001 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
2003 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
2004 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
2005 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2007 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2008 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2009 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2010 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2011 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2012 to report 'Unknown Error'
2013 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2014 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2015 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2016 parse_on_demand is on
2018 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2019 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2020 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2021 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2022 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

2025 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2026 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2028 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2029 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2030 Test::Aggregate is available.
2031 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2032 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2033 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2034 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2035 disabling functionality from base controllers.
2036 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
2037 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2038 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2044 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2045 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2046 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2047 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2048 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2049 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2052 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2053 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2054 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2055 configuration in your application.
2057 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2058 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2059 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2061 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2062 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2064 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2065 has been made private
2066 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2067 the request parameters with undef + test
2068 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2069 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2071 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2073 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2074 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2075 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2077 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2078 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2079 warning on recent Moose versions.
2080 - Add delta documentation
2081 - Clean up recursion errors
2082 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2083 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2085 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2086 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2088 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2089 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2090 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2091 tries to chain to itself
2093 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2094 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2095 - Tests for this (radek)
2096 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2097 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2098 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2099 - Tests for this (radek)
2100 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2101 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2102 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2103 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2105 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2106 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2108 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2110 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2111 in production versions
2112 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2113 the correct metaclass
2114 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2115 the restarter process
2116 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2117 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2119 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2120 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2121 immutable restart correctly.
2123 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2124 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2125 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2126 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
2127 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
2128 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
2129 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

2133 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
2134 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2135 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2136 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2137 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2138 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2139 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2140 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2141 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2142 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2143 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2145 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2146 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2147 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2150 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
2151 - Add uri_with tests

2165 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
2166 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
2169 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

2176 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
2177 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
2178 keep-alive requests.
2179 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2180 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2181 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2182 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2184 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2185 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2186 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2187 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2188 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2189 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2190 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
2191 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
2192 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
2193 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
2194 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2195 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2196 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2197 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2198 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
2199 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
2200 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
2201 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
2202 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
2203 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2205 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2206 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2208 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2209 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
2210 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
2212 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
2213 test sync for engines easier
2214 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
2215 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
2217 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
2218 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
