4 - Add '1;' to all classes which were relying on the ->make_immutable
5 call to return a true value. Due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and
6 5.10 (not present in other perl versions) require can pass the
7 context inappropriately, meaning that some methods of loading classes
8 can fail due to void context being passed throuh to make_immutable,
9 causing it to not return a value.
10 This bug is shown by trying to load Catalyst::Script::Create (for example)
11 with Module::Require and is fixed in core by commit 021f53de09926
13 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
17 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
18 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
19 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
20 whereas before you had to say:
21 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
22 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
23 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
26 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
27 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
28 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
29 scripts in the application.
30 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
31 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
32 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
37 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
39 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
40 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
41 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
42 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
43 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
44 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
45 and provide an alternative.
47 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
51 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
54 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
57 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
59 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
60 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
61 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
62 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
63 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
64 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
68 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
69 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
71 Backward compatibility fixes:
73 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
74 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
78 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
79 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
81 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
83 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
85 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
86 Backward compatibility fixes:
88 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
89 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
91 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
95 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
96 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
97 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
99 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
101 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
102 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
104 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
108 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
110 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
112 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
114 Backward compatibility fixes:
116 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
118 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
119 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
120 for backward compatibility.
124 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
125 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
129 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
130 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
131 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
133 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
135 Backward compatibility fixes:
137 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
138 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
142 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
145 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
146 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
147 example) Coro is loaded.
149 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
150 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
152 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
153 using MooseX::Deamonize
155 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
156 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
157 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
158 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
159 deployed in these environments.
163 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
167 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
168 file for your application.
170 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
174 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
175 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
177 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
180 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
181 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
183 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
185 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
186 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
188 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
189 IO::Handle's behaviour.
191 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
192 was not breaking out correctly
194 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
195 to also work in the $c->component method.
197 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
198 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
199 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
201 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
203 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
205 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
207 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
208 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
211 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
213 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
216 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
220 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
221 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
222 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
224 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
227 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
229 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
230 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
231 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
233 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
236 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
237 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
238 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
239 the new major version of Catalyst.
242 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
243 of Catalyst has been much improved.
245 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
248 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
249 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
250 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
252 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
254 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
255 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
256 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
258 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
261 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
262 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
263 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
265 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
266 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
270 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
271 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
273 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
274 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
275 developers without changing their application code.
277 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
280 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
281 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
282 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
283 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
284 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
286 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
287 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
289 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
291 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
295 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
296 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
297 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
298 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
299 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
300 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
301 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
303 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
304 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
305 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
306 class, please tell us *now*.
308 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
311 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
313 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
314 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
315 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
316 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
317 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
318 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
321 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
322 the Content-Length header appropriately)
323 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
324 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
325 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
326 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
327 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
328 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
330 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
331 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
332 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
333 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
334 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
335 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
336 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
337 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
340 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
341 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
343 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
346 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
347 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
351 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
352 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
354 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
357 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
359 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
360 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
362 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
364 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
367 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
369 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
372 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
373 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
374 load Utils before MyApp.pm
376 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
379 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
381 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
382 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
383 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
384 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
385 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
387 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
390 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
391 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
392 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
395 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
396 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
401 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
404 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
407 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
408 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
409 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
410 the default action creation.
413 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
414 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
415 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
416 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
417 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
418 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
419 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
422 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
424 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
426 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
428 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
431 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
432 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
433 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
434 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
435 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
438 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
439 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
442 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
443 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
444 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
445 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
447 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
450 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
451 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
452 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
453 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
454 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
455 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
456 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
457 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
460 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
461 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
462 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
464 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
465 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
466 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
467 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
470 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
471 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
474 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
475 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
478 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
481 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
482 the content type and content length if available.
484 Refactoring / optimizations:
485 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
486 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
487 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
488 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
489 screen as easy to write.
490 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
491 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
492 in parameter filtering (for example).
493 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
494 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
495 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
496 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
497 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
500 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
501 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
502 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
503 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
505 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
508 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
509 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
511 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
514 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
515 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
517 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
520 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
521 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
522 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
523 which should not be encoded.
524 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
525 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
527 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
528 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
529 any set of args/captures.
531 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
532 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
534 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
538 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
540 - Various minor typo fixes.
543 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
545 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
548 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
549 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
550 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
553 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
554 - Clarify documentation about debug
557 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
558 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
559 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
561 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
564 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
565 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
569 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
570 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
572 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
573 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
574 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
575 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
576 argv key in the options hash.
577 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
578 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
579 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
580 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
582 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
586 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
587 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
588 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
589 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
590 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
592 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
596 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
597 encoding test controller.
599 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
601 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
602 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
603 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
604 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
606 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
607 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
608 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
609 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
610 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
612 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
616 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
617 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
618 less packed with information of no use.
622 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
624 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
626 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
627 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
628 the single character '0'.
629 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
632 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
633 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
634 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
636 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
638 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
639 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
640 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
641 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
642 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
643 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
644 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
645 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
646 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
647 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
648 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
649 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
651 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
652 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
654 Refactoring / cleanups:
655 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
656 (and then skipped) normally.
659 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
661 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
664 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
665 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
666 on the old behaviour.
668 Refactoring / cleanups:
669 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
670 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
672 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
675 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
676 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
677 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
678 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
679 as there is no recommended alternative.
680 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
681 fallback for fully qualified component names.
682 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
683 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
684 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
685 startup, rather than with the first hit.
686 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
687 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
688 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
689 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
690 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
691 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
692 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
693 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
696 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
697 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
698 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
699 deprecated and causes warnings).
700 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
701 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
702 in the correct order.
703 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
705 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
706 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
707 is deprecated (RT#51489)
710 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
711 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
712 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
713 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
714 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
716 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
717 exception classes need to implement.
718 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
719 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
722 Refactoring / cleanups:
723 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
724 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
725 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
726 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
727 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
728 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
729 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
731 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
734 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
735 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
736 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
737 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
739 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
740 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
741 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
744 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
745 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
748 Refactoring / cleanups:
749 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
750 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
751 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
752 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
753 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
755 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
758 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
759 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
760 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
761 now loaded at most once + tests.
762 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
763 is returned to 'actions'.
764 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
765 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
767 Refactoring / cleanups:
768 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
769 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
772 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
773 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
774 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
776 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
779 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
780 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
783 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
786 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
787 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
788 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
790 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
793 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
794 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
795 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
797 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
800 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
801 application class immutable without that option.
802 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
803 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
805 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
806 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
807 (hopefully) future versions.
808 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
809 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
811 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
813 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
814 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
815 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
816 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
817 Request-URI of the Request-Line
819 Refactoring / cleanups:
820 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
821 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
822 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
823 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
824 known issues with 5.8.3.
825 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
826 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
829 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
830 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
831 for the controller namespace
832 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
833 expand_component_module (rjbs)
834 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
835 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
836 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
837 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
839 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
840 frontend port (jshirley)
841 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
845 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
846 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
847 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
848 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
851 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
854 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
855 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
856 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
858 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
859 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
860 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
861 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
862 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
863 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
867 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
868 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
869 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
872 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
875 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
876 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
878 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
879 in some environments.
880 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
881 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
882 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
883 except works correctly with closures.
884 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
885 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
886 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
888 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
889 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
890 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
893 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
894 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
895 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
896 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
897 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
898 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
900 Refactoring / cleanups:
901 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
902 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
903 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
904 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
906 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
907 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
908 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
910 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
911 again in Catalyst::Test
913 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
916 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
917 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
920 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
923 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
924 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
925 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
927 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
930 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
931 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
934 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
935 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
939 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
940 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
941 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
942 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
943 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
945 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
946 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
947 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
948 controller naming. (random)
949 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
950 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
951 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
952 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
953 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
955 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
957 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
958 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
959 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
961 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
962 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
963 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
964 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
965 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
966 to report 'Unknown Error'
967 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
968 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
969 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
970 parse_on_demand is on
972 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
973 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
974 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
975 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
976 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
977 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
978 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
979 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
980 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
982 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
983 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
984 Test::Aggregate is available.
985 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
986 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
987 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
988 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
989 disabling functionality from base controllers.

998 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
999 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1000 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1001 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1002 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1003 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1006 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1007 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1008 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1009 configuration in your application.
1011 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1012 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1013 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1015 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1016 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1018 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1019 has been made private

1021 the request parameters with undef + test
1022 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1023 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1025 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1027 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1028 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1029 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1031 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1032 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1033 warning on recent Moose versions.
1034 - Add delta documentation
1035 - Clean up recursion errors
1036 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1037 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1039 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1040 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1042 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1043 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1044 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1045 tries to chain to itself
1047 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1048 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1049 - Tests for this (radek)
1050 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1051 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1052 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1053 - Tests for this (radek)
1054 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1055 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1056 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1057 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1059 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1060 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1062 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1064 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1065 in production versions
1066 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1067 the correct metaclass
1068 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1069 the restarter process
1070 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1071 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1073 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1074 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1075 immutable restart correctly.
1077 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1078 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1090 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1091 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1092 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1093 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1094 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1095 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1096 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1097 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1099 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1100 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1101 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1104 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1105 - Add uri_with tests
1107 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1132 keep-alive requests.
1133 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1134 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1135 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1136 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1138 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1139 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1140 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1141 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1142 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1143 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1144 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1145 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1146 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache

1148 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1149 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1150 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1151 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1152 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1153 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1154 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1155 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1156 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1157 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1159 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1160 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1162 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1163 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1164 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1166 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1167 test sync for engines easier
1168 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1169 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1171 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1172 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1173 rather than the stringified ref.
1174 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1175 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1176 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1177 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1178 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1180 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1181 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1182 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1184 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1185 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1186 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1187 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1188 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1189 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1190 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
1191 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
1192 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1193 the key from the instance hash
1194 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1195 trivial delegation methods
1196 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
1197 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
1198 Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
1199 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
1200 Catalyst::Request: _path
1201 Catalyst::Stats: tree
1202 - Fix issues in Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI
