1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
4 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
5 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
6 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
7 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
10 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
11 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
12 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
13 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
15 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
17 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
21 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
22 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
23 this fixes all of them.
24 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
25 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
26 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
27 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
29 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
32 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
33 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
34 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
35 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
36 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
37 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
38 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
40 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
41 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
42 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
43 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
44 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
45 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
47 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
48 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
49 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
50 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
51 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
52 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
53 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
54 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
56 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
59 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
60 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
61 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
62 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
63 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
64 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
66 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
67 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
68 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
69 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
70 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
71 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
74 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
75 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
76 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
77 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
78 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
79 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
80 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
81 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
82 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
83 in behavior is compatible on its own.
84 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
85 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
86 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
87 - Some test and documentation improvements
89 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
90 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
91 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
92 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
95 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
96 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
99 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
100 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
102 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
103 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
105 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
107 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
108 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
110 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
112 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
113 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
114 of request or response classes.
116 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
117 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
118 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
119 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
120 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
121 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
122 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
123 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
124 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
125 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
127 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
128 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
129 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
130 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
131 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
133 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
135 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
136 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
138 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
140 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
141 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
142 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
145 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
148 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
151 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
152 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
154 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
157 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
160 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
162 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
164 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
166 Distribution META.yml changes:
167 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
168 mis-parses from the documentation.
169 - x_authority key added.
172 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
173 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
175 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
176 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
177 is less than helpful.
179 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
180 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
181 in bleadperl. RT#76437
183 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
184 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
187 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
188 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
190 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
191 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
192 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
194 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
197 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
198 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
199 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
200 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
201 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
202 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
204 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
206 - --background option for the server script now only closes
207 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
208 and other loggers which open a file handle when
209 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
210 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
211 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
214 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
217 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
218 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
219 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
220 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
222 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
225 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
228 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
229 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
230 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
231 included when not running from a checkout.
233 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
235 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
236 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
237 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
239 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
241 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
243 New features and refactoring:
244 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
245 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
246 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
248 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
249 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
250 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
253 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
254 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
255 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
257 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
259 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
260 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
261 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
262 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
263 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
264 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
266 Back compatibility fixes:
267 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
268 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
269 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
272 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
275 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
276 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
277 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
279 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
280 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
281 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
283 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
286 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
287 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
288 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
289 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
290 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
293 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
294 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
296 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
297 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
298 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
300 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
303 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
304 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
305 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
306 get them passed through to the application.
309 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
310 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
311 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
312 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
315 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
316 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
317 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
318 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
320 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
321 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
322 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
324 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
325 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
327 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
331 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
332 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
333 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
334 whereas before you had to say:
335 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
336 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
337 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
340 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
341 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
342 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
343 scripts in the application.
344 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
345 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
346 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
351 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
353 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
354 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
355 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
356 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
357 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
358 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
359 and provide an alternative.
361 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
365 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
368 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
371 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
373 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
374 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
375 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
376 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
377 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
378 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
382 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
383 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
385 Backward compatibility fixes:
387 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
388 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
392 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
393 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
395 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
397 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
399 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
400 Backward compatibility fixes:
402 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
403 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
405 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
409 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
410 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
411 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
413 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
415 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
416 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
418 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
422 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
424 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
426 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
428 Backward compatibility fixes:
430 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
432 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
433 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
434 for backward compatibility.
438 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
439 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
443 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
444 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
445 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
447 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
449 Backward compatibility fixes:
451 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
452 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
456 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
459 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
460 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
461 example) Coro is loaded.
463 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
464 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
466 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
467 using MooseX::Deamonize
469 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
470 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
471 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
472 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
473 deployed in these environments.
477 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
481 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
482 file for your application.
484 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
488 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
489 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
491 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
494 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
495 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
497 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
499 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
500 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
502 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
503 IO::Handle's behaviour.
505 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
506 was not breaking out correctly
508 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
509 to also work in the $c->component method.
511 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
512 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
513 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
515 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
517 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
519 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
521 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
522 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
525 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
527 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
530 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
534 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
535 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
536 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
538 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
541 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
543 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
544 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
545 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
547 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
550 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
551 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
552 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
553 the new major version of Catalyst.
556 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
557 of Catalyst has been much improved.
559 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
562 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
563 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
564 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
566 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
568 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
569 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
570 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
572 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
575 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
576 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
577 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
579 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
580 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
584 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
585 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
587 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
588 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
589 developers without changing their application code.
591 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
594 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
595 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
596 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
597 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
598 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
600 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
601 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
603 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
605 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
609 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
610 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
611 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
612 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
613 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
614 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
615 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
617 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
618 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
619 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
620 class, please tell us *now*.
622 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
625 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
627 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
628 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
629 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
630 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
631 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
632 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
635 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
636 the Content-Length header appropriately)
637 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
638 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
639 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
640 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
641 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
642 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
644 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
645 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
646 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
647 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
648 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
649 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
650 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
651 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
654 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
655 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
657 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
660 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
661 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
665 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
666 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
668 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
671 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
673 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
674 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
676 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
678 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
681 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
683 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
686 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
687 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
688 load Utils before MyApp.pm
690 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
693 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
695 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
696 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
697 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
698 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
699 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
701 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
704 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
705 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
706 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
709 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
710 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
715 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
718 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
721 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
722 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
723 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
724 the default action creation.
727 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
728 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
729 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
730 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
731 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
732 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
733 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
736 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
738 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
740 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
742 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
745 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
746 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
747 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
748 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
749 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
752 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
753 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
756 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
757 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
758 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
759 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
761 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
764 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
765 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
766 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
767 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
768 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
769 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
770 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
771 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
774 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
775 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
776 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
778 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
779 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
780 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
781 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
784 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
785 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
788 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
789 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
792 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
795 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
796 the content type and content length if available.
798 Refactoring / optimizations:
799 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
800 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
801 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
802 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
803 screen as easy to write.
804 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
805 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
806 in parameter filtering (for example).
807 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
808 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
809 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
810 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
811 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
814 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
815 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
816 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
817 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
819 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
822 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
823 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
825 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
828 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
829 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
831 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
834 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
835 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
836 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
837 which should not be encoded.
838 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
839 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
841 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
842 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
843 any set of args/captures.
845 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
846 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
848 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
852 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
854 - Various minor typo fixes.
857 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
859 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
862 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
863 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
864 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
867 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
868 - Clarify documentation about debug
871 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
872 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
873 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
875 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
878 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
879 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
883 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
884 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
886 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
887 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
888 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
889 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
890 argv key in the options hash.
891 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
892 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
893 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
894 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
896 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
900 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
901 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
902 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
903 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
904 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
906 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
910 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
911 encoding test controller.
913 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
915 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
916 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
917 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
918 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
920 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
921 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
922 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
923 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
924 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
926 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
930 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
931 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
932 less packed with information of no use.
936 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
938 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
940 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
941 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
942 the single character '0'.
943 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
946 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
947 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
948 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
950 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
952 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
953 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
954 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
955 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
956 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
957 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
958 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
959 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
960 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
961 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
962 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
963 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
965 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
966 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
968 Refactoring / cleanups:
969 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
970 (and then skipped) normally.
973 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
975 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
978 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
979 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
980 on the old behaviour.
982 Refactoring / cleanups:
983 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
984 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
986 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
989 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
990 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
991 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
992 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
993 as there is no recommended alternative.
994 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
995 fallback for fully qualified component names.
996 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
997 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
998 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
999 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1000 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1001 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1002 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1003 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1004 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1005 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1006 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1007 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1010 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1011 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1012 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1013 deprecated and causes warnings).
1014 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1015 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1016 in the correct order.
1017 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1019 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1020 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1021 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1024 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1025 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1026 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1027 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1028 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1030 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1031 exception classes need to implement.
1032 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1033 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1036 Refactoring / cleanups:
1037 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1038 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1039 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1040 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1041 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1042 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1043 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1045 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1048 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1049 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1050 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1051 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1053 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1054 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1055 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1058 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1059 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1062 Refactoring / cleanups:
1063 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1064 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1065 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1066 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1067 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1069 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1072 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1073 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1074 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1075 now loaded at most once + tests.
1076 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1077 is returned to 'actions'.
1078 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1079 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1081 Refactoring / cleanups:
1082 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1083 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1086 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1087 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1088 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1090 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1093 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1094 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1097 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1100 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1101 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1102 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1104 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1107 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1108 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1109 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1111 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1114 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1115 application class immutable without that option.
1116 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1117 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1119 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1120 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1121 (hopefully) future versions.
1122 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1123 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1124 variables (RT#48555)
1125 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1127 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1128 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1129 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1130 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1131 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1133 Refactoring / cleanups:
1134 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1135 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1136 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1137 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1138 known issues with 5.8.3.
1139 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1140 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1143 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1144 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1145 for the controller namespace
1146 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1147 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1148 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1149 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1150 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1151 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1153 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1154 frontend port (jshirley)
1155 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1159 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1160 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1161 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1162 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1165 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1168 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1169 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1170 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1172 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1173 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1174 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1175 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1176 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1177 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1181 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1182 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1183 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1186 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1189 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1190 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1192 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1193 in some environments.
1194 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1195 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1196 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1197 except works correctly with closures.
1198 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1199 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1200 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1201 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1202 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1203 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1204 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1207 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1208 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1209 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1210 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1211 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1212 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1214 Refactoring / cleanups:
1215 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1216 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1217 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal

1256 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1257 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1259 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

1279 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1280 to report 'Unknown Error'

1319 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1320 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1321 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

1381 the correct metaclass
1382 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1383 the restarter process
1384 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1385 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1387 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1388 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1389 immutable restart correctly.

1410 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1411 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate

1474 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1476 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1477 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1502 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1503 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1504 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1675 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1676 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
