1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
5 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
6 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
7 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
8 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
9 changes introduced in v5.90080.
11 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
12 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
13 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
14 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
15 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
16 note posted a few months ago.
17 - Added my name to the contributors list
19 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
20 - Merged changes from 5.90078
21 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
22 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
23 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
24 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
25 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
26 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
27 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
28 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
29 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
30 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
31 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
33 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
34 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
35 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
37 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
38 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
39 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
40 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
41 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
42 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
43 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
44 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
45 has already been called (and headers already sent).
46 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
47 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
49 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
50 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
51 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
53 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
54 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
57 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
58 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
59 existing Plack conventions.
60 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
61 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
62 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
63 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
64 don't bubble back up to the main application.
65 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
66 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
67 I highly suggest you test this release.
68 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
69 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
70 correct if incorrect :)
71 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
72 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
73 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
74 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
75 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
76 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
77 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
78 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
79 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
81 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
82 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
83 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
85 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
86 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
87 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
88 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
92 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
94 - updated year in copyright notices
97 - POD corrections (sergey++)
98 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
99 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
100 trouble. (davewood++);
101 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
102 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
103 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
106 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
107 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
108 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
109 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
110 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
113 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
114 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
115 HTTP Exception middleware.
118 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
119 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
120 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
121 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
122 you really need to review this exploit.
125 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
128 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
129 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
130 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
131 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
133 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
136 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
137 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
138 so you can go to hunt it out.
141 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
142 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
143 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
144 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
145 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
146 - Added Italian translation of default error.
149 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
152 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
153 certain tests. No other changes.
156 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
157 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
158 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
160 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
162 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
164 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
168 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
169 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
170 questions or problems!
171 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
172 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
173 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
174 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
175 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
176 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
177 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
178 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
179 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
182 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
183 - documentation and test fixes
186 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
187 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
188 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
189 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
190 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
191 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
192 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
195 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
196 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
199 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
200 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
201 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
202 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
203 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
204 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
205 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
206 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
208 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
211 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
212 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
215 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
216 introduced by a change in December.
219 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
222 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
223 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
224 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
225 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
226 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
229 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
230 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
231 reported while installing.
232 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
233 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
234 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
235 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
236 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
237 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
238 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
239 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
240 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
241 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
242 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
243 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
244 - update copyright notices.
246 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
247 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
248 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
249 fails to install (sorry).
250 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
251 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
252 middleware deal with it.
254 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
255 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
256 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
257 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
258 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
259 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
260 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
261 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
262 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
264 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
265 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
266 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
267 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
268 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
269 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
270 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
271 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
272 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
273 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
275 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
276 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
277 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
278 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
282 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
283 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
284 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
285 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
286 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
287 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
291 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
292 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
293 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
295 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
296 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
297 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
299 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
300 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
301 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
302 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
304 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
305 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
306 - Various POD formatting fixed.
307 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
308 accept and issues that might arise.
311 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
312 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
315 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
316 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
317 for internal methods:
319 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
320 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
321 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
323 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
324 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
325 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
326 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
328 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
329 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
330 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
332 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
333 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
334 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
335 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
336 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
338 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
339 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
340 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
341 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
342 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
343 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
344 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
345 cases to reflect this change.
347 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
348 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
349 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
350 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
351 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
352 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
353 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
354 those keys already exist). Keys added:
355 - plack.request.query
357 - plack.request.merged
358 - plack.request.http.body
359 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
360 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
361 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
362 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
363 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
364 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
365 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
366 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
367 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
368 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
369 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
370 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
371 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
372 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
373 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
374 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
375 is a scalar or arrayref.
376 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
377 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
379 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
380 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
381 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
383 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
384 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
385 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
386 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
387 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
388 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
389 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
390 a development setup (ether++)
392 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
393 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
394 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
395 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
396 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
397 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
398 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
399 case t/data_handler.t
401 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
402 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
403 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
404 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
405 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
408 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
409 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
410 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
411 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
413 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
415 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
419 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
420 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
421 this fixes all of them.
422 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
423 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
424 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
425 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
427 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
430 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
431 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
432 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
433 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
434 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
435 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
436 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
438 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
439 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
440 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
441 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
442 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
443 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
445 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
446 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
447 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
448 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
449 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
450 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
451 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
452 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
454 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
457 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
458 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
459 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
460 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
461 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
462 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
464 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
465 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
466 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
467 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
468 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
469 - smarter validation around action attributes.
472 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
473 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
474 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
475 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
476 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
477 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
478 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
479 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
480 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
481 in behavior is compatible on its own.
482 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
483 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
484 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
485 - Some test and documentation improvements
487 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
488 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
489 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
490 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
493 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
494 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
497 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
498 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
500 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
501 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
503 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
505 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
506 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
508 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
510 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
511 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
512 of request or response classes.
514 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
515 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
516 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
517 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
518 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
519 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
520 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
521 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
522 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
523 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
525 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
526 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
527 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
528 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
529 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
531 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
533 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
534 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
536 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
538 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
539 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
540 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
543 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
546 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
549 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
550 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
552 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
555 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
558 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
560 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
562 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
564 Distribution META.yml changes:
565 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
566 mis-parses from the documentation.
567 - x_authority key added.
570 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
571 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
573 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
574 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
575 is less than helpful.
577 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
578 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
579 in bleadperl. RT#76437
581 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
582 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
585 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
586 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
588 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
589 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
590 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
592 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
595 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
596 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
597 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
598 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
599 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
600 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
602 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
604 - --background option for the server script now only closes
605 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
606 and other loggers which open a file handle when
607 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
608 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
609 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
612 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
615 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
616 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
617 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
618 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
620 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
623 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
626 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
627 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
628 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
629 included when not running from a checkout.
631 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
633 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
634 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
635 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
637 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
639 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
641 New features and refactoring:
642 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
643 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
644 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
646 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
647 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
648 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
651 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
652 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
653 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
655 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
657 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
658 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
659 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
660 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
661 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
662 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
664 Back compatibility fixes:
665 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
666 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
667 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
670 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
673 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
674 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
675 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
677 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
678 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
679 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
681 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
684 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
685 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
686 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
687 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
688 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
691 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
692 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
694 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
695 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
696 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
698 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
701 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
702 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
703 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
704 get them passed through to the application.
707 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
708 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
709 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
710 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
713 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
714 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
715 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
716 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
718 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
719 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
720 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
722 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
723 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
725 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
729 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
730 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
731 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
732 whereas before you had to say:
733 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
734 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
735 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
738 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
739 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
740 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
741 scripts in the application.
742 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
743 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
744 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
749 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
751 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
752 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
753 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
754 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
755 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
756 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
757 and provide an alternative.
759 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
763 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
766 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
769 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
771 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
772 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
773 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
774 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
775 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
776 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
780 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
781 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
783 Backward compatibility fixes:
785 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
786 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
790 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
791 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
793 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
795 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
797 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
798 Backward compatibility fixes:
800 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
801 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
803 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
807 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
808 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
809 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
811 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
813 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
814 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
816 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
820 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
822 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
824 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
826 Backward compatibility fixes:
828 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
830 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
831 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
832 for backward compatibility.
836 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
837 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
841 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
842 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
843 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
845 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
847 Backward compatibility fixes:
849 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
850 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
854 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
857 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
858 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
859 example) Coro is loaded.
861 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
862 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
864 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
865 using MooseX::Deamonize
867 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
868 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
869 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
870 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
871 deployed in these environments.
875 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
879 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
880 file for your application.
882 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
886 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
887 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
889 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
892 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
893 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
895 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
897 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
898 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
900 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
901 IO::Handle's behaviour.
903 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
904 was not breaking out correctly
906 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
907 to also work in the $c->component method.
909 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
910 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
911 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
913 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
915 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
917 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
919 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
920 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
923 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
925 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
928 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
932 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
933 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
934 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
936 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
939 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
941 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
942 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
943 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
945 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
948 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
949 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
950 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
951 the new major version of Catalyst.
954 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
955 of Catalyst has been much improved.
957 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
960 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
961 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
962 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
964 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
966 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
967 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
968 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
970 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
973 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
974 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
975 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
977 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
978 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
982 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
983 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
985 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
986 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
987 developers without changing their application code.
989 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
992 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
993 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
994 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
995 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
996 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
998 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
999 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1001 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1003 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1007 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1008 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1009 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1010 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1011 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1012 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1013 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1015 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1016 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1017 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1018 class, please tell us *now*.
1020 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1023 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1025 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1026 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1027 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1028 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1029 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1030 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1033 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1034 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1035 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1036 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1037 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1038 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1039 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1040 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1042 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1043 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1044 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1045 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1046 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1047 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1048 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1049 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1052 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1053 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1055 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1058 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1059 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1063 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1064 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1066 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1069 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1071 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1072 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1074 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1076 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1079 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1081 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1084 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1085 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1086 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1088 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1091 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1093 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1094 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1095 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1096 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1097 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1099 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1102 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1103 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1104 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1107 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1108 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1113 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1116 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1119 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1120 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1121 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1122 the default action creation.
1125 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1126 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1127 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1128 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1129 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1130 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1131 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1134 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1136 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1138 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1140 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1143 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1144 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1145 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1146 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1147 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1150 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1151 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1154 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1155 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1156 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1157 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1159 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1162 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1163 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1164 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1165 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1166 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1167 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1168 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1169 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1172 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1173 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1174 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1176 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1177 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1178 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1179 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1182 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1183 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1186 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1187 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1190 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1193 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1194 the content type and content length if available.
1196 Refactoring / optimizations:
1197 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1198 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1199 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1200 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1201 screen as easy to write.
1202 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1203 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1204 in parameter filtering (for example).
1205 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1206 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1207 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1208 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1209 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1212 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1213 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1214 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1215 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1217 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1220 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1221 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1223 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1226 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1227 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1229 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1232 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1233 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1234 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1235 which should not be encoded.
1236 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1237 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1239 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1240 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1241 any set of args/captures.
1243 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1244 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1246 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1250 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1252 - Various minor typo fixes.
1255 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1257 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1260 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1261 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1262 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1265 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1266 - Clarify documentation about debug
1269 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1270 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1271 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1273 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1276 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1277 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1281 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1282 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1284 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1285 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1286 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1287 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1288 argv key in the options hash.
1289 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1290 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1291 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1292 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1294 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1298 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1299 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1300 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1301 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1302 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1304 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1308 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1309 encoding test controller.
1311 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1313 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1314 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1316 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1318 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1319 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1320 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1321 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1322 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1324 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1328 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1329 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1330 less packed with information of no use.
1334 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1336 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1338 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1339 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1340 the single character '0'.
1341 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1344 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1345 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1346 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1348 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1350 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1351 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1352 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1353 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1354 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1355 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1356 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1357 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1358 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1359 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1360 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1361 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1363 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1364 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1366 Refactoring / cleanups:
1367 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1368 (and then skipped) normally.
1371 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1373 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1376 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1377 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1378 on the old behaviour.
1380 Refactoring / cleanups:
1381 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1382 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1384 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1387 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1388 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1389 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1390 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1391 as there is no recommended alternative.
1392 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1393 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1394 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1395 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1396 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1397 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1398 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1399 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1400 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1401 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1402 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1403 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1404 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1405 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1408 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1409 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1410 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1411 deprecated and causes warnings).
1412 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1413 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1414 in the correct order.
1415 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1417 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1418 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1419 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1422 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1423 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1424 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1425 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1426 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1428 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1429 exception classes need to implement.
1430 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1431 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1434 Refactoring / cleanups:
1435 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1436 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1437 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1438 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1439 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1440 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1441 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1443 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1446 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1447 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1448 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1449 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1451 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1452 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1453 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1456 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1457 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1460 Refactoring / cleanups:
1461 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1462 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1463 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1464 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1465 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1467 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1470 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1471 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1472 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1473 now loaded at most once + tests.
1474 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1475 is returned to 'actions'.
1476 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1477 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1479 Refactoring / cleanups:
1480 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1481 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1484 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1485 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1486 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1488 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1491 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1492 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1495 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1498 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1499 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1500 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1502 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1505 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1506 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1507 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1509 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1512 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1513 application class immutable without that option.
1514 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1515 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1517 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1518 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1519 (hopefully) future versions.
1520 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1521 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1522 variables (RT#48555)
1523 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1525 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1526 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1527 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1528 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1529 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1531 Refactoring / cleanups:
1532 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1533 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1534 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1535 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1536 known issues with 5.8.3.
1537 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1538 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1541 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1542 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1543 for the controller namespace
1544 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1545 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1546 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1547 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1548 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1549 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1551 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1552 frontend port (jshirley)
1553 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1557 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1558 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1559 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1560 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1563 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1566 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1567 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1568 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1570 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1571 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1572 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1573 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1574 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1575 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1579 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1580 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1581 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1584 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1587 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1588 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1590 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1591 in some environments.
1592 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1593 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1594 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1595 except works correctly with closures.
1596 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1597 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1598 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1599 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1600 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1601 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1602 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1605 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1606 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1607 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1608 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1609 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1610 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1612 Refactoring / cleanups:
1613 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1614 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1615 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1616 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1618 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1619 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1620 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1622 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1623 again in Catalyst::Test
1625 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1628 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1629 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1632 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1635 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1636 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1637 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1639 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1642 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1643 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1646 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1647 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1651 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1652 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1653 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1654 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1655 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1657 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1658 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1659 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1660 controller naming. (random)
1661 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1662 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1663 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1664 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1665 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1667 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1669 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1670 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1671 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1673 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1674 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1675 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1676 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1677 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1678 to report 'Unknown Error'
1679 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1680 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1681 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1682 parse_on_demand is on
1684 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1685 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1686 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1687 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1688 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1689 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1690 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1691 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1692 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1694 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1695 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1696 Test::Aggregate is available.
1697 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1698 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1699 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1700 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1701 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1702 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1703 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1704 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1705 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1706 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1707 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1708 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1709 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1710 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
1711 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1712 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1713 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1714 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1715 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1718 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1719 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1720 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1760 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1761 - Tests for this (radek)
1762 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
