4 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
5 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
6 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
7 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
8 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
9 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
10 those keys already exist). Keys added:
13 - plack.request.merged
14 - plack.request.http.body
15 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
16 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
17 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
18 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
19 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
20 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
21 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
22 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
23 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
24 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
26 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
27 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
28 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
30 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
31 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
32 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
33 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
34 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
35 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
36 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
37 a development setup (ether++)
39 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
40 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
41 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
42 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
43 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
44 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
45 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
48 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
49 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
50 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
51 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
52 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
55 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
56 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
57 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
58 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
60 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
62 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
66 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
67 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
68 this fixes all of them.
69 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
70 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
71 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
72 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
74 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
77 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
78 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
79 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
80 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
81 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
82 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
83 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
85 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
86 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
87 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
88 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
89 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
90 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
92 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
93 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
94 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
95 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
96 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
97 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
98 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
99 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
101 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
104 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
105 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
106 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
107 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
108 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
109 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
111 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
112 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
113 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
114 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
115 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
116 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
119 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
120 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
121 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
122 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
123 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
124 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
125 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
126 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
127 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
128 in behavior is compatible on its own.
129 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
130 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
131 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
132 - Some test and documentation improvements
134 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
135 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
136 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
137 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
140 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
141 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
144 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
145 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
147 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
148 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
150 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
152 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
153 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
155 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
157 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
158 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
159 of request or response classes.
161 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
162 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
163 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
164 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
165 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
166 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
167 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
168 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
169 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
170 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
172 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
173 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
174 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
175 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
176 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
178 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
180 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
181 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
183 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
185 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
186 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
187 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
190 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
193 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
196 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
197 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
199 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
202 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
205 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
207 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
209 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
211 Distribution META.yml changes:
212 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
213 mis-parses from the documentation.
214 - x_authority key added.
217 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
218 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
220 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
221 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
222 is less than helpful.
224 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
225 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
226 in bleadperl. RT#76437
228 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
229 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
232 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
233 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
235 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
236 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
237 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
239 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
242 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
243 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
244 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
245 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
246 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
247 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
249 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
251 - --background option for the server script now only closes
252 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
253 and other loggers which open a file handle when
254 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
255 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
256 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
259 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
262 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
263 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
264 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
265 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
267 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
270 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
273 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
274 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
275 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
276 included when not running from a checkout.
278 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
280 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
281 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
282 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
284 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
286 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
288 New features and refactoring:
289 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
290 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
291 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
293 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
294 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
295 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
298 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
299 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
300 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
302 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
304 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
305 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
306 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
307 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
308 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
309 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
311 Back compatibility fixes:
312 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
313 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
314 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
317 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
320 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
321 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
322 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
324 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
325 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
326 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
328 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
331 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
332 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
333 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
334 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
335 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
338 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
339 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
341 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
342 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
343 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
345 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
348 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
349 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
350 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
351 get them passed through to the application.
354 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
355 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
356 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
357 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
360 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
361 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
362 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
363 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
365 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
366 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
367 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
369 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
370 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
372 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
376 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
377 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
378 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
379 whereas before you had to say:
380 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
381 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
382 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
385 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
386 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
387 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
388 scripts in the application.
389 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
390 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
391 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
396 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
398 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
399 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
400 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
401 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
402 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
403 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
404 and provide an alternative.
406 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
410 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
413 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
416 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
418 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
419 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
420 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
421 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
422 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
423 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
427 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
428 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
430 Backward compatibility fixes:
432 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
433 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
437 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
438 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
440 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
442 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
444 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
445 Backward compatibility fixes:
447 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
448 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
450 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
454 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
455 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
456 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
458 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
460 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
461 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
463 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
467 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
469 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
471 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
473 Backward compatibility fixes:
475 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
477 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
478 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
479 for backward compatibility.
483 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
484 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
488 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
489 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
490 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
492 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
494 Backward compatibility fixes:
496 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
497 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
501 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
504 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
505 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
506 example) Coro is loaded.
508 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
509 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
511 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
512 using MooseX::Deamonize
514 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
515 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
516 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
517 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
518 deployed in these environments.
522 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
526 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
527 file for your application.
529 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
533 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
534 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
536 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
539 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
540 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
542 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
544 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
545 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
547 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
548 IO::Handle's behaviour.
550 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
551 was not breaking out correctly
553 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
554 to also work in the $c->component method.
556 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
557 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
558 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
560 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
562 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
564 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
566 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
567 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
570 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
572 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
575 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
579 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
580 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
581 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
583 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
586 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
588 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
589 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
590 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
592 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
595 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
596 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
597 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
598 the new major version of Catalyst.
601 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
602 of Catalyst has been much improved.
604 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
607 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
608 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
609 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
611 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
613 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
614 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
615 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
617 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
620 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
621 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
622 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
624 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
625 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
629 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
630 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
632 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
633 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
634 developers without changing their application code.
636 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
639 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
640 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
641 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
642 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
643 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
645 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
646 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
648 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
650 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
654 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
655 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
656 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
657 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
658 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
659 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
660 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
662 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
663 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
664 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
665 class, please tell us *now*.
667 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
670 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
672 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
673 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
674 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
675 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
676 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
677 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
680 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
681 the Content-Length header appropriately)
682 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
683 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
684 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
685 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
686 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
687 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
689 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
690 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
691 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
692 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
693 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
694 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
695 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
696 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
699 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
700 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
702 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
705 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
706 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
710 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
711 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
713 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
716 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
718 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
719 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
721 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
723 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
726 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
728 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
731 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
732 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
733 load Utils before MyApp.pm
735 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
738 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
740 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
741 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
742 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
743 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
744 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
746 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
749 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
750 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
751 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
754 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
755 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
760 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
763 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
766 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
767 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
768 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
769 the default action creation.
772 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
773 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
774 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
775 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
776 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
777 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
778 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
781 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
783 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
785 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
787 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
790 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
791 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
792 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
793 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
794 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
797 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
798 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
801 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
802 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
803 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
804 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
806 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
809 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
810 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
811 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
812 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
813 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
814 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
815 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
816 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
819 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
820 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
821 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
823 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
824 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
825 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
826 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
829 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
830 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
833 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
834 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
837 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
840 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
841 the content type and content length if available.
843 Refactoring / optimizations:
844 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
845 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
846 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
847 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
848 screen as easy to write.
849 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
850 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
851 in parameter filtering (for example).
852 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
853 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
854 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
855 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
856 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
859 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
860 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
861 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
862 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
864 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
867 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
868 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
870 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
873 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
874 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
876 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
879 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
880 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
881 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
882 which should not be encoded.
883 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
884 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
886 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
887 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
888 any set of args/captures.
890 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
891 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
893 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
897 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
899 - Various minor typo fixes.
902 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
904 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
907 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
908 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
909 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
912 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
913 - Clarify documentation about debug
916 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
917 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
918 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
920 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
923 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
924 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
928 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
929 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
931 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
932 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
933 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
934 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
935 argv key in the options hash.
936 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
937 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
938 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
939 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
941 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
945 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
946 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
947 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
948 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
949 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
951 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
955 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
956 encoding test controller.
958 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
960 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
961 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
962 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
963 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
965 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
966 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
967 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
968 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
969 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
971 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
975 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
976 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
977 less packed with information of no use.
981 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
983 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
985 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
986 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
987 the single character '0'.
988 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
991 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
992 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
993 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
995 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
997 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
998 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
999 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1000 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1001 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1002 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1003 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1004 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1005 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1006 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1007 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1008 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1010 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1011 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1013 Refactoring / cleanups:
1014 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1015 (and then skipped) normally.
1018 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1020 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1023 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1024 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1025 on the old behaviour.
1027 Refactoring / cleanups:
1028 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1029 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1031 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1034 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1035 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1036 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1037 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1038 as there is no recommended alternative.
1039 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1040 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1041 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1042 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1043 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1044 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1045 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1046 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1047 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1048 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1049 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1050 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1051 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1052 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1055 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1056 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1057 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1058 deprecated and causes warnings).
1059 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1060 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1061 in the correct order.
1062 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1064 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1065 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1066 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1069 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1070 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1071 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1072 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1073 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1075 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1076 exception classes need to implement.
1077 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1078 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1081 Refactoring / cleanups:
1082 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1083 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1084 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1085 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1086 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1087 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1088 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1090 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1093 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1094 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1095 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1096 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1098 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1099 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1100 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1103 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1104 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1107 Refactoring / cleanups:
1108 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1109 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1110 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1111 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1112 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1114 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1117 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1118 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1119 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1120 now loaded at most once + tests.
1121 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1122 is returned to 'actions'.
1123 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1124 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1126 Refactoring / cleanups:
1127 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1128 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1131 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1132 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1133 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1135 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1138 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1139 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1142 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1145 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1146 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1147 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1149 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1152 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1153 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1154 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1156 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1159 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1160 application class immutable without that option.
1161 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1162 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1164 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1165 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1166 (hopefully) future versions.
1167 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1168 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1169 variables (RT#48555)
1170 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1172 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1173 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1174 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1175 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1176 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1178 Refactoring / cleanups:
1179 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1180 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1181 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1182 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1183 known issues with 5.8.3.
1184 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1185 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1188 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1189 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1190 for the controller namespace
1191 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1192 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1193 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1194 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1195 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1196 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1198 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1199 frontend port (jshirley)
1200 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1204 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1205 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1206 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1207 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1210 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1213 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1214 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1215 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1217 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1218 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1219 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1220 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1221 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1222 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1226 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1227 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1228 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1231 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1234 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1235 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1237 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1238 in some environments.
1239 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1240 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1241 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1242 except works correctly with closures.

1249 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1252 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1253 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1254 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1255 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1256 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1257 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1259 Refactoring / cleanups:
1260 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1261 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1262 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1263 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1265 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1266 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1267 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1269 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1270 again in Catalyst::Test
1272 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1283 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1284 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1286 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1289 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1290 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1293 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1294 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1298 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1299 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1300 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1301 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1302 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1304 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1305 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1306 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1307 controller naming. (random)

1318 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1320 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1321 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1322 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1323 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1324 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1325 to report 'Unknown Error'
1326 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1327 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1328 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1329 parse_on_demand is on

1332 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1333 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1334 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1344 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1345 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

1360 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1361 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1362 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1364 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1365 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1366 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1367 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1368 configuration in your application.

1399 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1401 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1402 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1403 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1404 tries to chain to itself
1406 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1407 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1408 - Tests for this (radek)
1409 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1410 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1411 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1412 - Tests for this (radek)

1423 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1424 in production versions
1425 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1426 the correct metaclass
1427 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1428 the restarter process
1429 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1430 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1432 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1433 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1434 immutable restart correctly.
1436 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1437 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1453 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1454 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1455 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1456 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1458 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose

1493 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1494 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

1497 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1498 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1499 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1507 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1508 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1509 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1510 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1511 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1513 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1514 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1515 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1516 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1518 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1519 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1521 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1522 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1525 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1526 test sync for engines easier
1527 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1528 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1545 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1546 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1547 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1548 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1549 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1669 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1670 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1671 throw warnings for two reasons:
1672 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1673 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1675 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1676 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1677 method with a regex as the argument
