1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix emitting warnings when REMOTE_ADDR is undefined (RT#113388)
4 - Fix $c->req->hostname empty for IPv6 clients (RT#75731)
10 - use the :utf8_strict (PerlIO::utf8_strict) rather than :encoding file handle
11 layer to handle decoding uploads, as a performance boost.
12 - fix handling of decoding uploaded files. this fixes the usage of sysread
13 on :utf8 handles, and reenables the tests on all perl versions. Fixes CPAN
14 RT#125843. See also erl RT#133585.
15 - giving incorrect types to uri_for will warn to logs rather than via carp
16 - silence warning and error output from tests
19 - avoid problematic test using sysread() on :utf8 filehandles on dev perl
20 versions where this is fatal (starting with 5.29.4). see RT#125843.
23 - fix test for changes in MooseX::Getopt 0.73 (RT#127050)
26 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)
27 - ensure catalyst.pl is included with dist
28 - drop IO::Scalar prereq
29 - include optional test prereqs as develop prereqs
30 - remove unused developer prereq on Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
31 - use namespace::clean consistently rather than namespace::autoclean
32 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
33 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
34 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
35 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
36 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
37 - POD typo and syntax fixes
40 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
43 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
44 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
45 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
46 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
47 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
49 - PR154 - Few dependencies
50 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
53 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
55 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
56 - documentation improvements (ether++)
57 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
58 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
60 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
61 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
64 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
65 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
66 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
68 - Tweaked travis CI script.
71 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
72 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
73 is a 'root' controller.
74 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
75 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
76 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
77 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
81 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
82 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
83 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
86 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
89 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
90 override many core method.
91 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
92 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
93 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
94 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
95 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
96 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
97 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
98 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
99 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
102 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
103 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
104 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
105 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
106 in some configurations.
109 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
110 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
111 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
112 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
113 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
114 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
115 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
116 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
117 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
118 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
119 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
122 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
123 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
124 improve reporting details.
125 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
126 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
129 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
130 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
131 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
132 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
133 which was introduced in the last release.
134 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
137 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
138 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
140 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
141 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
142 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
143 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
144 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
145 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
148 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
149 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
152 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
153 with type constraints.
154 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
155 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
156 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
157 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
158 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
159 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
162 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
163 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
165 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
166 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
167 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
168 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
171 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
172 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
173 to define behavior better.
176 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
178 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
179 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
180 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
181 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
184 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
185 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
186 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
187 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
188 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
189 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
190 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
191 - Merged Pull Requests:
192 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
193 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
194 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
195 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
196 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
197 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
200 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
201 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
204 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
205 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
206 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
207 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
208 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
209 that has proven to work for years.)
212 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
213 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
214 even though they were actually created).
217 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
218 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
219 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
220 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
221 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
223 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
224 - Added swanky github badges.
225 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
226 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
227 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
228 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
231 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
232 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
233 raise an error when registering its actions.
234 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
235 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
236 the injection and do custom injection types.
238 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
239 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
240 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
242 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
243 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
244 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
245 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
247 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
248 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
249 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
250 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
251 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
252 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
253 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
254 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
255 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
256 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
258 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
259 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
260 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
261 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
262 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
263 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
264 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
265 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
267 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
268 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
269 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
270 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
271 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
272 stand alone classes...).
273 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
274 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
275 report any stats related issues.
276 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
277 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
278 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
279 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
280 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
281 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
282 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
284 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
285 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
286 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
287 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
289 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
290 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
291 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
292 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
293 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
294 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
297 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
298 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
299 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
300 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
301 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
302 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
303 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
304 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
305 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
306 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
307 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
308 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
311 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
312 trying to create parameters twice.
313 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
314 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
315 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
316 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
317 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
318 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
319 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
320 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
321 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
322 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
323 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
326 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
327 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
328 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
329 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
330 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
331 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
334 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
335 to prevent it happening again.
338 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
339 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
340 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
341 test case to prevent regressions.
344 - Minor documentation corrections
345 - Make the '79 development series stable
347 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
348 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
349 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
350 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
351 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
353 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
354 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
355 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
356 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
357 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
358 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
359 changes introduced in v5.90080.
361 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
362 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
363 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
364 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
365 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
366 note posted a few months ago.
367 - Added my name to the contributors list
369 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
370 - Merged changes from 5.90078
371 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
372 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
373 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
374 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
375 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
376 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
377 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
378 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
379 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
380 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
381 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
383 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
384 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
385 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
387 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
388 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
389 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
390 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
391 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
392 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
393 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
394 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
395 has already been called (and headers already sent).
396 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
397 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
399 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
400 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
401 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
403 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
404 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
407 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
408 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
409 existing Plack conventions.
410 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
411 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
412 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
413 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
414 don't bubble back up to the main application.
415 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
416 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
417 I highly suggest you test this release.
418 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
419 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
420 correct if incorrect :)
421 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
422 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
423 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
424 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
425 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
426 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
427 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
428 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
429 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
431 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
432 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
433 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
435 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
436 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
437 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
438 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
442 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
444 - updated year in copyright notices
447 - POD corrections (sergey++)
448 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
449 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
450 trouble. (davewood++);
451 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
452 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
453 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
456 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
457 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
458 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
459 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
460 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
463 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
464 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
465 HTTP Exception middleware.
468 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
469 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
470 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
471 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
472 you really need to review this exploit.
475 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
478 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
479 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
480 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
481 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
483 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
486 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
487 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
488 so you can go to hunt it out.
491 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
492 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
493 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
494 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
495 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
496 - Added Italian translation of default error.
499 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
502 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
503 certain tests. No other changes.
506 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
507 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
508 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
510 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
512 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
514 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
518 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
519 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
520 questions or problems!
521 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
522 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
523 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
524 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
525 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
526 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
527 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
528 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
529 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
532 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
533 - documentation and test fixes
536 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
537 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
538 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
539 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
540 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
541 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
542 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
545 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
546 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
549 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
550 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
551 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
552 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
553 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
554 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
555 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
556 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
558 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
561 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
562 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
565 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
566 introduced by a change in December.
569 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
572 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
573 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
574 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
575 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
576 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
579 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
580 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
581 reported while installing.
582 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
583 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
584 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
585 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
586 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
587 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
588 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
589 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
590 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
591 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
592 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
593 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
594 - update copyright notices.
596 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
597 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
598 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
599 fails to install (sorry).
600 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
601 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
602 middleware deal with it.
604 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
605 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
606 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
607 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
608 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
609 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
610 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
611 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
612 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
614 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
615 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
616 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
617 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
618 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
619 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
620 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
621 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
622 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
623 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
625 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
626 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
627 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
628 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
632 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
633 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
634 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
635 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
636 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
637 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
641 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
642 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
643 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
645 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
646 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
647 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
649 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
650 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
651 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
652 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
654 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
655 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
656 - Various POD formatting fixed.
657 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
658 accept and issues that might arise.
661 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
662 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
665 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
666 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
667 for internal methods:
669 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
670 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
671 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
673 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
674 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
675 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
676 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
678 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
679 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
680 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
682 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
683 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
684 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
685 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
686 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
688 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
689 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
690 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
691 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
692 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
693 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
694 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
695 cases to reflect this change.
697 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
698 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
699 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
700 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
701 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
702 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
703 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
704 those keys already exist). Keys added:
705 - plack.request.query
707 - plack.request.merged
708 - plack.request.http.body
709 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
710 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
711 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
712 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
713 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
714 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
715 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
716 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
717 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
718 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
719 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
720 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
721 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
722 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
723 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
724 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
725 is a scalar or arrayref.
726 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
727 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
729 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
730 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
731 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
733 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
734 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
735 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
736 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
737 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
738 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
739 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
740 a development setup (ether++)
742 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
743 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
744 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
745 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
746 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
747 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
748 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
749 case t/data_handler.t
751 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
752 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
753 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
754 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
755 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
758 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
759 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
760 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
761 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
763 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
765 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
769 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
770 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
771 this fixes all of them.
772 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
773 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
774 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
775 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
777 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
780 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
781 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
782 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
783 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
784 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
785 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
786 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
788 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
789 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
790 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
791 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
792 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
793 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
795 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
796 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
797 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
798 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
799 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
800 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
801 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
802 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
804 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
807 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
808 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
809 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
810 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
811 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
812 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
814 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
815 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
816 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
817 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
818 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
819 - smarter validation around action attributes.
822 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
823 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
824 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
825 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
826 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
827 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
828 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
829 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
830 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
831 in behavior is compatible on its own.
832 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
833 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
834 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
835 - Some test and documentation improvements
837 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
838 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
839 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
840 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
843 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
844 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
847 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
848 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
850 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
851 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
853 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
855 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
856 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
858 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
860 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
861 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
862 of request or response classes.
864 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
865 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
866 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
867 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
868 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
869 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
870 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
871 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
872 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
873 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
875 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
876 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
877 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
878 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
879 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
881 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
883 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
884 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
886 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
888 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
889 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
890 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
893 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
896 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
899 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
900 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
902 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
905 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
908 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
910 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
912 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
914 Distribution META.yml changes:
915 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
916 mis-parses from the documentation.
917 - x_authority key added.
920 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
921 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
923 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
924 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
925 is less than helpful.
927 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
928 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
929 in bleadperl. RT#76437
931 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
932 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
935 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
936 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
938 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
939 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
940 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
942 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
945 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
946 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
947 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
948 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
949 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
950 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
952 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
954 - --background option for the server script now only closes
955 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
956 and other loggers which open a file handle when
957 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
958 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
959 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
962 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
965 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
966 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
967 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
968 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
970 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
973 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
976 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
977 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
978 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
979 included when not running from a checkout.
981 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
983 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
984 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
985 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
987 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
989 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
991 New features and refactoring:
992 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
993 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
994 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
996 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
997 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
998 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
1001 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
1002 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
1003 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
1005 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
1007 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
1008 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
1009 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
1010 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
1011 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
1012 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
1014 Back compatibility fixes:
1015 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
1016 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
1017 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
1020 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1023 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1024 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1025 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1027 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1028 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1029 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1031 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1034 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1035 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1036 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1037 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1038 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1041 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1042 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1044 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1045 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1046 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1048 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1051 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1052 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1053 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1054 get them passed through to the application.
1057 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1058 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1059 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1060 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1063 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1064 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1065 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1066 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1068 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1069 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1070 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1072 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1073 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1075 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1079 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1080 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1081 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1082 whereas before you had to say:
1083 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1084 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1085 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1088 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1089 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1090 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1091 scripts in the application.
1092 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1093 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1094 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1099 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1101 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1102 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1103 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1104 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1105 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1106 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1107 and provide an alternative.
1109 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1113 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1114 MyApp->engine_class.
1116 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1119 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1121 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1122 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1123 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1124 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1125 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1126 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1130 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1131 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1133 Backward compatibility fixes:
1135 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1136 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1138 Documentation fixes:
1140 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1141 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1143 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1145 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1147 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1148 Backward compatibility fixes:
1150 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1151 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1153 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1155 Documentation fixes:
1157 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1158 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1159 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1161 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1163 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1164 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1166 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1168 Cut another release.
1170 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1172 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1174 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1176 Backward compatibility fixes:
1178 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1180 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1181 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1182 for backward compatibility.
1186 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1187 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1191 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1192 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1193 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1195 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1197 Backward compatibility fixes:
1199 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1200 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1204 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1205 been made immutable.
1207 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1208 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1209 example) Coro is loaded.
1211 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1212 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1214 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1215 using MooseX::Deamonize
1217 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1218 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1219 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1220 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1221 deployed in these environments.
1225 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1229 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1230 file for your application.
1232 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1236 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1237 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1239 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1242 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1243 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1245 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1247 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1248 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1250 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1251 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1253 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1254 was not breaking out correctly
1256 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1257 to also work in the $c->component method.
1259 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1260 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1261 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1263 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1265 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1267 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1269 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1270 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1273 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1275 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1278 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1279 not being installed.
1282 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1283 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1284 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1286 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1289 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1291 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1292 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1293 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1295 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1298 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1299 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1300 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1301 the new major version of Catalyst.
1304 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1305 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1307 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1310 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1311 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1312 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1314 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1316 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1317 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1318 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1320 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1321 in Catalyst::execute
1323 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1324 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1325 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1327 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1328 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1332 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1333 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1335 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1336 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1337 developers without changing their application code.
1339 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1342 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1343 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1344 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1345 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1346 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1348 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1349 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1351 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1353 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1357 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1358 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1359 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1360 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1361 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1362 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1363 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1365 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1366 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1367 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1368 class, please tell us *now*.
1370 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1373 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1375 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1376 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1377 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1378 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1379 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1380 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1383 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1384 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1385 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1386 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1387 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1388 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1389 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1390 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1392 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1393 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1394 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1395 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1396 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1397 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1398 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1399 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1402 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1403 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1405 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1408 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1409 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1413 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1414 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1416 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1419 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1421 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1422 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1424 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1426 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1429 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1431 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1434 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1435 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1436 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1438 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1441 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1443 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1444 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1445 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1446 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1447 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1449 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1452 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1453 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1454 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1457 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1458 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1463 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1466 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1469 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1470 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1471 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1472 the default action creation.
1475 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1476 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1477 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1478 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1479 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1480 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1481 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1484 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1486 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1488 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1490 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1493 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1494 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1495 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1496 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1497 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1500 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1501 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1504 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1505 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1506 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1507 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1509 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1512 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1513 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1514 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1515 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1516 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1517 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1518 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1519 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1522 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1523 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1524 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1526 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1527 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1528 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1529 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1532 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1533 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1536 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1537 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1540 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1543 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1544 the content type and content length if available.
1546 Refactoring / optimizations:
1547 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1548 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1549 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1550 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1551 screen as easy to write.
1552 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1553 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1554 in parameter filtering (for example).
1555 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1556 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1557 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1558 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1559 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1562 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1563 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1564 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1565 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1567 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1570 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1571 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1573 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1576 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1577 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1579 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1582 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1583 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1584 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1585 which should not be encoded.
1586 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1587 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1589 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1590 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1591 any set of args/captures.
1593 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1594 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1596 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1600 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1602 - Various minor typo fixes.
1605 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1607 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1610 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1611 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1612 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1615 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1616 - Clarify documentation about debug
1619 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1620 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1621 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1623 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1626 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1627 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1631 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1632 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1634 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1635 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1636 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1637 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1638 argv key in the options hash.
1639 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1640 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1641 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1642 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1644 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1648 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1649 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1650 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1651 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1652 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1654 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1658 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1659 encoding test controller.
1661 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1663 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1664 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1666 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1668 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1669 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1670 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1671 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1672 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1674 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1678 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1679 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1680 less packed with information of no use.
1684 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1686 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1688 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1689 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1690 the single character '0'.
1691 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1694 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1695 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1696 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1698 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1700 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1701 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1702 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1703 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1704 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1705 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1706 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1707 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1708 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1709 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1710 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1711 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1713 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1714 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1716 Refactoring / cleanups:
1717 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1718 (and then skipped) normally.
1721 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1723 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1726 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1727 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1728 on the old behaviour.
1730 Refactoring / cleanups:
1731 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1732 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1734 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1737 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1738 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1739 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1740 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1741 as there is no recommended alternative.
1742 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1743 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1744 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1745 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1746 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1747 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1748 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1749 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1750 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1751 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1752 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1753 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1754 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1755 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1758 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1759 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1760 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1761 deprecated and causes warnings).
1762 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1763 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1764 in the correct order.
1765 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1767 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1768 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1769 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1772 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1773 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1774 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1775 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1776 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1778 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1779 exception classes need to implement.
1780 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1781 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1784 Refactoring / cleanups:
1785 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1786 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1787 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1788 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1789 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1790 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1791 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1793 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1796 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1797 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1798 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1799 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1801 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1802 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1803 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1806 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1807 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1810 Refactoring / cleanups:
1811 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1812 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1813 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1814 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1815 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1817 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1820 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1821 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1822 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1823 now loaded at most once + tests.
1824 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1825 is returned to 'actions'.
1826 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1827 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1829 Refactoring / cleanups:
1830 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1831 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1834 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1835 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1836 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1838 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1841 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1842 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1845 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1848 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1849 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1850 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1852 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1855 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1856 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1857 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1859 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1862 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1863 application class immutable without that option.
1864 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1865 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1867 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1868 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1869 (hopefully) future versions.
1870 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1871 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1872 variables (RT#48555)
1873 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1875 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1876 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1877 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1878 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1879 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1881 Refactoring / cleanups:
1882 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1883 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1884 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1885 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1886 known issues with 5.8.3.
1887 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1888 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1891 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1892 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1893 for the controller namespace
1894 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1895 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1896 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1897 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1898 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1899 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1901 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1902 frontend port (jshirley)
1903 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1907 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1908 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1909 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1910 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1913 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1916 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1917 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1918 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1920 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1921 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1922 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1923 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1924 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1925 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1929 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1930 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1931 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1934 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1937 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1938 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1940 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1941 in some environments.
1942 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1943 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1944 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1945 except works correctly with closures.
1946 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1947 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1948 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1949 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1950 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1951 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1952 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1955 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1956 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1957 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1958 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1959 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1960 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1962 Refactoring / cleanups:
1963 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1964 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1965 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1966 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1968 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1969 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1970 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1972 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1973 again in Catalyst::Test
1975 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1978 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1979 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1982 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1985 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1986 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1987 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1989 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1992 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1993 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1996 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1997 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
2001 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
2002 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
2003 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
2004 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
2005 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
2007 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
2008 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
2009 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
2010 controller naming. (random)
2011 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
2012 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
2013 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
2014 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
2015 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
2017 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

2020 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
2021 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2023 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2024 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2025 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2026 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2027 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2028 to report 'Unknown Error'
2029 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2030 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2031 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2032 parse_on_demand is on
2034 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2035 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2036 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2037 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2038 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

2041 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2042 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2044 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2045 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2046 Test::Aggregate is available.
2047 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2048 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2049 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2050 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2051 disabling functionality from base controllers.
2052 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
2053 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2054 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2059 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
2060 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2061 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2062 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2063 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2064 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2065 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2068 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2069 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2070 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2071 configuration in your application.
2073 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2074 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2075 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2077 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2078 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2080 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2081 has been made private
2082 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2083 the request parameters with undef + test
2084 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2085 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2087 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2089 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2090 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2091 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2093 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2094 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2095 warning on recent Moose versions.
2096 - Add delta documentation
2097 - Clean up recursion errors
2098 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2099 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2101 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2102 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2104 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2105 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2106 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2107 tries to chain to itself
2109 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2110 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2111 - Tests for this (radek)
2112 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2113 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2114 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2115 - Tests for this (radek)
2116 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2117 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2118 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2119 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2121 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2122 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2124 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2126 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2127 in production versions
2128 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2129 the correct metaclass
2130 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2131 the restarter process
2132 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2133 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2135 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2136 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2137 immutable restart correctly.
2139 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2140 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2141 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2142 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
2143 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
2144 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
2145 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

2149 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
2150 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2151 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2152 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2153 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2154 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2155 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2156 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2157 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2158 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2159 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2161 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2162 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2163 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2166 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
2167 - Add uri_with tests

2181 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
2182 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
2185 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

2194 keep-alive requests.
2195 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2196 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2197 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2198 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2200 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2201 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2202 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2203 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2204 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2205 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2206 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
2207 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
2208 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
2209 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
2210 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2211 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2212 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2213 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2214 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
2215 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
2216 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
2217 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
2218 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
2219 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance

2373 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2374 throw warnings for two reasons:
2375 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2376 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

2379 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
