1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
4 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
5 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
6 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
8 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
9 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
10 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
11 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
12 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
14 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
16 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
17 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
19 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
21 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
22 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
23 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
26 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
29 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
32 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
33 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
35 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
38 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
41 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
43 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
45 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
47 Distribution META.yml changes:
48 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
49 mis-parses from the documentation.
50 - x_authority key added.
53 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
54 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
56 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
57 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
60 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
61 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
62 in bleadperl. RT#76437
64 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
65 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
68 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
69 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
71 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
72 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
73 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
75 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
78 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
79 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
80 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
81 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
82 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
83 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
85 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
87 - --background option for the server script now only closes
88 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
89 and other loggers which open a file handle when
90 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
91 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
92 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
95 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
98 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
99 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
100 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
101 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
103 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
106 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
109 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
110 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
111 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
112 included when not running from a checkout.
114 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
116 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
117 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
118 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
120 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
122 New features and refactoring:
123 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
124 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
125 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
127 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
128 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
129 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
132 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
133 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
134 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
136 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
138 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
139 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
140 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
141 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
142 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
143 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
145 Back compatibility fixes:
146 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
147 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
148 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
151 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
154 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
155 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
156 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
158 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
159 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
160 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
162 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
165 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
166 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
167 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
168 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
169 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
172 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
173 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
175 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
176 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
177 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
179 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
182 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
183 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
184 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
185 get them passed through to the application.
188 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
189 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
190 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
191 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
194 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
195 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
196 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
197 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
199 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
200 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
201 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
203 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
204 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
206 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
210 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
211 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
212 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
213 whereas before you had to say:
214 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
215 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
216 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
219 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
220 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
221 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
222 scripts in the application.
223 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
224 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
225 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
230 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
232 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
233 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
234 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
235 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
236 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
237 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
238 and provide an alternative.
240 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
244 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
247 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
250 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
252 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
253 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
254 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
255 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
256 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
257 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
261 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
262 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
264 Backward compatibility fixes:
266 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
267 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
271 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
272 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
274 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
276 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
278 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
279 Backward compatibility fixes:
281 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
282 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
284 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
288 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
289 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
290 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
292 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
294 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
295 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
297 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
301 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
303 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
305 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
307 Backward compatibility fixes:
309 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
311 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
312 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
313 for backward compatibility.
317 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
318 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
322 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
323 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
324 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
326 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
328 Backward compatibility fixes:
330 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
331 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
335 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
338 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
339 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
340 example) Coro is loaded.
342 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
343 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
345 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
346 using MooseX::Deamonize
348 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
349 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
350 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
351 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
352 deployed in these environments.
356 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
360 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
361 file for your application.
363 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
367 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
368 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
370 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
373 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
374 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
376 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
378 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
379 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
381 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
382 IO::Handle's behaviour.
384 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
385 was not breaking out correctly
387 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
388 to also work in the $c->component method.
390 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
391 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
392 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
394 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
396 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
398 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
400 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
401 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
404 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
406 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
409 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
413 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
414 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
415 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
417 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
420 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
422 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
423 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
424 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
426 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
429 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
430 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
431 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
432 the new major version of Catalyst.
435 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
436 of Catalyst has been much improved.
438 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
441 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
442 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
443 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
445 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
447 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
448 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
449 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
451 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
454 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
455 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
456 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
458 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
459 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
463 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
464 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
466 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
467 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
468 developers without changing their application code.
470 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
473 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
474 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
475 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
476 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
477 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
479 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
480 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
482 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
484 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
488 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
489 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
490 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
491 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
492 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
493 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
494 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
496 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
497 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
498 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
499 class, please tell us *now*.
501 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
504 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
506 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
507 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
508 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
509 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
510 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
511 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
514 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
515 the Content-Length header appropriately)
516 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
517 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
518 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
519 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
520 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
521 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
523 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
524 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
525 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
526 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
527 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
528 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
529 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
530 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
533 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
534 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
536 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
539 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
540 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
544 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
545 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
547 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
550 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
552 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
553 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
555 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
557 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
560 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
562 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
565 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
566 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
567 load Utils before MyApp.pm
569 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
572 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
574 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
575 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
576 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
577 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
578 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
580 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
583 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
584 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
585 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
588 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
589 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
594 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
597 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
600 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
601 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
602 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
603 the default action creation.
606 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
607 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
608 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
609 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
610 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
611 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
612 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
615 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
617 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
619 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
621 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
624 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
625 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
626 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
627 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
628 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
631 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
632 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
635 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
636 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
637 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
638 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
640 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
643 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
644 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
645 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
646 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
647 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
648 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
649 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
650 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
653 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
654 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
655 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
657 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
658 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
659 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
660 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
663 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
664 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
667 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
668 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
671 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
674 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
675 the content type and content length if available.
677 Refactoring / optimizations:
678 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
679 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
680 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
681 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
682 screen as easy to write.
683 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
684 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
685 in parameter filtering (for example).
686 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
687 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
688 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
689 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
690 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
693 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
694 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
695 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
696 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
698 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
701 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
702 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
704 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
707 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
708 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
710 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
713 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
714 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
715 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
716 which should not be encoded.
717 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
718 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
720 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
721 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
722 any set of args/captures.
724 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
725 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
727 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
731 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
733 - Various minor typo fixes.
736 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
738 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
741 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
742 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
743 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
746 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
747 - Clarify documentation about debug
750 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
751 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
752 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
754 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
757 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
758 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
762 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
763 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
765 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
766 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
767 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
768 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
769 argv key in the options hash.
770 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
771 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
772 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
773 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
775 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
779 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
780 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
781 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
782 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
783 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
785 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
789 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
790 encoding test controller.
792 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
794 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
795 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
796 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
797 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
799 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
800 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
801 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
802 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
803 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
805 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
809 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
810 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
811 less packed with information of no use.
815 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
817 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
819 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
820 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
821 the single character '0'.
822 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
825 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
826 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
827 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
829 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
831 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
832 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
833 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
834 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
835 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
836 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
837 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
838 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
839 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
840 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
841 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
842 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
844 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
845 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
847 Refactoring / cleanups:
848 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
849 (and then skipped) normally.
852 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
854 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
857 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
858 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
859 on the old behaviour.
861 Refactoring / cleanups:
862 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
863 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
865 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
868 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
869 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
870 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
871 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
872 as there is no recommended alternative.
873 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
874 fallback for fully qualified component names.
875 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
876 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
877 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
878 startup, rather than with the first hit.
879 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
880 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
881 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
882 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
883 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
884 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
885 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
886 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
889 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
890 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
891 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
892 deprecated and causes warnings).
893 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
894 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
895 in the correct order.
896 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
898 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
899 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
900 is deprecated (RT#51489)
903 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
904 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
905 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
906 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
907 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
909 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
910 exception classes need to implement.
911 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
912 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
915 Refactoring / cleanups:
916 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
917 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
918 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
919 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
920 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
921 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
922 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
924 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
927 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
928 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
929 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
930 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
932 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
933 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
934 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
937 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
938 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
941 Refactoring / cleanups:
942 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
943 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
944 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
945 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
946 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
948 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
951 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
952 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
953 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
954 now loaded at most once + tests.
955 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
956 is returned to 'actions'.
957 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
958 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
960 Refactoring / cleanups:
961 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
962 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
965 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
966 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
967 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
969 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
972 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
973 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
976 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
979 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
980 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
981 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
983 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
986 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
987 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
988 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
990 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
993 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
994 application class immutable without that option.
995 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
996 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
998 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
999 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1000 (hopefully) future versions.
1001 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1002 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1003 variables (RT#48555)
1004 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1006 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1007 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1008 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1009 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1010 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1012 Refactoring / cleanups:
1013 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1014 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1015 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1016 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1017 known issues with 5.8.3.
1018 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1019 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1022 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1023 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1024 for the controller namespace
1025 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1026 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1027 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1028 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1029 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1030 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1032 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1033 frontend port (jshirley)
1034 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1038 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1039 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1040 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1041 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1044 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1047 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1048 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1049 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1051 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1052 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1053 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1054 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1055 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1056 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1060 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1061 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1062 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1065 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1068 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1069 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1071 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1072 in some environments.
1073 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1074 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1075 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1076 except works correctly with closures.
1077 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1078 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1079 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1080 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1081 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1082 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1083 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1086 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1087 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1088 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1089 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1090 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1091 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1093 Refactoring / cleanups:
1094 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1095 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1096 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1097 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1099 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1100 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1101 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1103 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1104 again in Catalyst::Test
1106 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1109 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1110 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1113 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1116 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1117 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1118 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1120 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1123 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1124 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1127 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1128 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1132 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1133 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1134 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1135 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1136 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1138 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1139 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1140 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1141 controller naming. (random)
1142 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1143 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1144 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1145 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1146 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1148 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1150 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1151 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1152 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1154 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1155 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1156 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1157 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1158 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1159 to report 'Unknown Error'
1160 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1161 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1162 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1163 parse_on_demand is on
1165 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1166 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1167 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1168 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1169 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1170 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1171 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1172 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1173 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1175 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1176 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1177 Test::Aggregate is available.
1178 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1179 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1180 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1181 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1182 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1183 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1184 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1185 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1186 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1187 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1188 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1189 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1190 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1191 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1192 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1193 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1194 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1195 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1196 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1199 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1200 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1201 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1202 configuration in your application.
1204 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1205 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1206 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1208 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1209 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1211 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1212 has been made private
1213 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1214 the request parameters with undef + test
1215 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1216 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1218 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1220 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1221 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1222 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1224 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1225 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1226 warning on recent Moose versions.
1227 - Add delta documentation
1228 - Clean up recursion errors

1241 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1242 - Tests for this (radek)

1244 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1245 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1246 - Tests for this (radek)

1257 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1258 in production versions
1259 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1260 the correct metaclass
1261 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1262 the restarter process
1263 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1264 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1266 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1267 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

1289 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1290 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1292 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1293 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
