1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
4 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
5 - Fixed missing data information in previous release
7 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
8 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
9 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
10 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
11 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
13 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
14 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
15 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
16 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
17 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
18 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
19 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
20 cases to reflect this change.
22 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
23 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
24 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
25 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
26 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
27 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
28 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
29 those keys already exist). Keys added:
32 - plack.request.merged
33 - plack.request.http.body
34 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
35 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
36 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
37 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
38 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
39 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
40 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
41 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
42 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
43 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
44 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
45 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
46 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
47 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
48 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
49 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
50 is a scalar or arrayref.
51 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
52 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
54 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
55 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
56 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
58 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
59 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
60 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
61 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
62 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
63 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
64 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
65 a development setup (ether++)
67 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
68 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
69 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
70 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
71 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
72 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
73 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
76 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
77 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
78 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
79 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
80 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
83 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
84 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
85 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
86 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
88 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
90 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
94 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
95 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
96 this fixes all of them.
97 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
98 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
99 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
100 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
102 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
105 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
106 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
107 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
108 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
109 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
110 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
111 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
113 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
114 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
115 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
116 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
117 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
118 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
120 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
121 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
122 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
123 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
124 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
125 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
126 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
127 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
129 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
132 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
133 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
134 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
135 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
136 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
137 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
139 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
140 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
141 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
142 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
143 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
144 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
147 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
148 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
149 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
150 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
151 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
152 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
153 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
154 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
155 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
156 in behavior is compatible on its own.
157 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
158 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
159 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
160 - Some test and documentation improvements
162 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
163 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
164 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
165 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
168 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
169 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
172 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
173 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
175 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
176 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
178 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
180 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
181 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
183 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
185 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
186 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
187 of request or response classes.
189 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
190 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
191 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
192 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
193 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
194 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
195 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
196 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
197 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
198 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
200 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
201 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
202 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
203 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
204 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
206 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
208 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
209 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
211 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
213 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
214 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
215 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
218 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
221 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
224 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
225 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
227 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
230 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
233 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
235 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
237 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
239 Distribution META.yml changes:
240 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
241 mis-parses from the documentation.
242 - x_authority key added.
245 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
246 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
248 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
249 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
250 is less than helpful.
252 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
253 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
254 in bleadperl. RT#76437
256 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
257 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
260 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
261 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
263 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
264 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
265 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
267 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
270 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
271 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
272 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
273 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
274 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
275 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
277 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
279 - --background option for the server script now only closes
280 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
281 and other loggers which open a file handle when
282 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
283 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
284 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
287 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
290 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
291 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
292 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
293 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
295 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
298 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
301 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
302 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
303 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
304 included when not running from a checkout.
306 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
308 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
309 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
310 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
312 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
314 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
316 New features and refactoring:
317 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
318 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
319 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
321 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
322 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
323 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
326 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
327 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
328 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
330 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
332 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
333 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
334 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
335 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
336 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
337 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
339 Back compatibility fixes:
340 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
341 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
342 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
345 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
348 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
349 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
350 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
352 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
353 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
354 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
356 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
359 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
360 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
361 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
362 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
363 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
366 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
367 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
369 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
370 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
371 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
373 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
376 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
377 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
378 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
379 get them passed through to the application.
382 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
383 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
384 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
385 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
388 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
389 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
390 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
391 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
393 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
394 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
395 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
397 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
398 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
400 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
404 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
405 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
406 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
407 whereas before you had to say:
408 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
409 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
410 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
413 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
414 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
415 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
416 scripts in the application.
417 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
418 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
419 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
424 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
426 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
427 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
428 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
429 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
430 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
431 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
432 and provide an alternative.
434 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
438 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
441 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
444 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
446 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
447 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
448 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
449 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
450 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
451 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
455 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
456 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
458 Backward compatibility fixes:
460 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
461 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
465 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
466 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
468 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
470 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
472 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
473 Backward compatibility fixes:
475 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
476 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
478 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
482 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
483 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
484 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
486 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
488 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
489 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
491 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
495 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
497 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
499 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
501 Backward compatibility fixes:
503 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
505 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
506 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
507 for backward compatibility.
511 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
512 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
516 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
517 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
518 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
520 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
522 Backward compatibility fixes:
524 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
525 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
529 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
532 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
533 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
534 example) Coro is loaded.
536 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
537 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
539 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
540 using MooseX::Deamonize
542 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
543 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
544 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
545 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
546 deployed in these environments.
550 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
554 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
555 file for your application.
557 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
561 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
562 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
564 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
567 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
568 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
570 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
572 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
573 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
575 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
576 IO::Handle's behaviour.
578 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
579 was not breaking out correctly
581 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
582 to also work in the $c->component method.
584 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
585 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
586 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
588 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
590 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
592 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
594 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
595 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
598 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
600 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
603 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
607 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
608 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
609 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
611 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
614 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
616 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
617 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
618 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
620 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
623 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
624 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
625 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
626 the new major version of Catalyst.
629 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
630 of Catalyst has been much improved.
632 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
635 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
636 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
637 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
639 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
641 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
642 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
643 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
645 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
648 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
649 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
650 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
652 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
653 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
657 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
658 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
660 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
661 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
662 developers without changing their application code.
664 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
667 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
668 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
669 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
670 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
671 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
673 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
674 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
676 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
678 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
682 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
683 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
684 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
685 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
686 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
687 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
688 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
690 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
691 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
692 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
693 class, please tell us *now*.
695 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
698 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
700 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
701 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
702 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
703 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
704 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
705 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
708 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
709 the Content-Length header appropriately)
710 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
711 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
712 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
713 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
714 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
715 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
717 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
718 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
719 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
720 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
721 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
722 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
723 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
724 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
727 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
728 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
730 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
733 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
734 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
738 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
739 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
741 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
744 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
746 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
747 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
749 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
751 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
754 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
756 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
759 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
760 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
761 load Utils before MyApp.pm
763 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
766 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
768 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
769 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
770 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
771 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
772 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
774 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
777 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
778 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
779 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
782 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
783 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
788 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
791 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
794 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
795 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
796 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
797 the default action creation.
800 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
801 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
802 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
803 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
804 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
805 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
806 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
809 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
811 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
813 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
815 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
818 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
819 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
820 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
821 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
822 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
825 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
826 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
829 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
830 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
831 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
832 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
834 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
837 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
838 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
839 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
840 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
841 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
842 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
843 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
844 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
847 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
848 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
849 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
851 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
852 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
853 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
854 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
857 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
858 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
861 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
862 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
865 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
868 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
869 the content type and content length if available.
871 Refactoring / optimizations:
872 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
873 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
874 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
875 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
876 screen as easy to write.
877 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
878 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
879 in parameter filtering (for example).
880 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
881 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
882 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
883 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
884 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
887 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
888 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
889 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
890 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
892 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
895 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
896 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
898 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
901 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
902 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
904 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
907 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
908 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
909 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
910 which should not be encoded.
911 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
912 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
914 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
915 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
916 any set of args/captures.
918 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
919 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
921 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
925 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
927 - Various minor typo fixes.
930 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
932 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
935 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
936 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
937 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
940 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
941 - Clarify documentation about debug
944 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
945 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
946 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
948 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
951 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
952 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
956 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
957 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
959 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
960 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
961 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
962 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
963 argv key in the options hash.
964 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
965 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
966 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
967 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
969 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
973 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
974 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
975 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
976 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
977 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
979 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
983 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
984 encoding test controller.
986 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
988 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
989 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
990 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
991 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
993 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
994 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
995 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
996 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
997 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
999 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1003 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1004 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1005 less packed with information of no use.
1009 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1011 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1013 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1014 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1015 the single character '0'.
1016 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1019 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1020 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1021 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1023 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1025 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1026 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1027 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1028 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1029 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1030 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1031 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1032 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1033 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1034 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1035 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1036 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1038 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1039 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1041 Refactoring / cleanups:
1042 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1043 (and then skipped) normally.
1046 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1048 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1051 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1052 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1053 on the old behaviour.
1055 Refactoring / cleanups:
1056 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1057 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1059 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1062 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1063 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1064 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1065 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1066 as there is no recommended alternative.
1067 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1068 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1069 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1070 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1071 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1072 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1073 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1074 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1075 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1076 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1077 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1078 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1079 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1080 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1083 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1084 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1085 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1086 deprecated and causes warnings).
1087 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1088 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1089 in the correct order.
1090 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1092 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1093 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1094 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1097 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1098 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1099 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1100 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1101 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1103 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1104 exception classes need to implement.
1105 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1106 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1109 Refactoring / cleanups:
1110 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1111 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1112 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1113 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1114 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1115 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1116 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1118 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1121 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1122 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1123 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1124 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1126 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1127 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1128 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1131 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1132 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1135 Refactoring / cleanups:
1136 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1137 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1138 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1139 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1140 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1142 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1145 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1146 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1147 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1148 now loaded at most once + tests.
1149 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1150 is returned to 'actions'.
1151 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1152 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1154 Refactoring / cleanups:
1155 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1156 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1159 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1160 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1161 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1163 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1166 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1167 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1170 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1173 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1174 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1175 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1177 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1180 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1181 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1182 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1184 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1187 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1188 application class immutable without that option.
1189 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1190 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1192 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1193 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1194 (hopefully) future versions.
1195 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1196 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1197 variables (RT#48555)
1198 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1200 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1201 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1202 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1203 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1204 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1206 Refactoring / cleanups:
1207 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1208 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1209 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1210 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1211 known issues with 5.8.3.
1212 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1213 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1216 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1217 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1218 for the controller namespace
1219 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1220 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1221 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1222 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1223 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1224 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1226 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1227 frontend port (jshirley)
1228 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1232 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1233 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1234 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1235 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1238 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1241 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1242 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1243 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1245 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1246 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1247 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1248 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1249 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1250 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1254 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1255 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1256 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1259 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1262 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1263 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1265 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1266 in some environments.
1267 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1268 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1269 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1270 except works correctly with closures.
1271 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1272 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1273 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1274 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1275 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1276 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1277 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1280 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1281 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1282 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1283 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1284 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1285 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1287 Refactoring / cleanups:
1288 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1289 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1290 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1291 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1293 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1294 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1295 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1297 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1298 again in Catalyst::Test
1300 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1304 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1307 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1310 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1311 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1312 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1314 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1317 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1318 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1321 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1322 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1326 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1327 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1328 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1329 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1330 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1332 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1333 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1334 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1335 controller naming. (random)
1336 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1337 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1338 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1346 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1348 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1349 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1350 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1351 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1352 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1353 to report 'Unknown Error'
1354 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1355 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1356 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1357 parse_on_demand is on
1359 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1360 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1361 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1362 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1363 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1366 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1367 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1370 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1371 Test::Aggregate is available.
1372 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1373 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1374 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1375 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1376 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1377 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1378 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1379 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1386 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1387 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1388 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1389 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1390 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1392 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1393 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1394 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1395 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1396 configuration in your application.
1398 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1399 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1412 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1414 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1415 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1416 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1418 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

1427 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1429 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1430 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1431 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1432 tries to chain to itself
1434 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1435 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1436 - Tests for this (radek)
1437 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1438 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1439 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1440 - Tests for this (radek)
1441 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1442 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1443 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1444 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1446 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1447 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1449 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1451 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1452 in production versions
1453 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1454 the correct metaclass
1455 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1456 the restarter process
1457 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1458 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1460 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1461 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1462 immutable restart correctly.
1464 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1465 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1476 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1477 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1478 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1479 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1480 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1481 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1482 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1483 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1484 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1486 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1487 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1520 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1521 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1522 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1523 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1525 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1526 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1527 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1528 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

1535 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1536 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1537 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1538 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1539 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1540 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1541 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1542 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1543 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1544 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1546 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1547 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1549 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1550 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1551 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1553 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1554 test sync for engines easier
1555 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1556 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1558 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional

1565 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1567 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1568 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1569 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1571 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1572 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1573 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1574 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1575 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1576 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1577 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
1578 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
1579 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1580 the key from the instance hash
1581 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1582 trivial delegation methods
1583 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

1621 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1622 - Test for this (caelum)
1623 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to

1694 - Updated Catalyst::Test docs to mention the use of HTTP::Request
1697 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1698 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1699 throw warnings for two reasons:
1700 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1701 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1703 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1704 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1705 method with a regex as the argument
1706 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)
1707 - Update HTTP::Body dep so that the uploadtmp config value will work (RT #22540)

1710 - Fix Catalyst::Utils::home() when application .pm is in the current dir (RT #34437)
1711 - Added the ability to remove parameters in req->uri_with() by passing in
1712 an undef value (RT #34782)
