1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
5 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
6 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
7 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
8 as there is no recommended alternative.
9 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
10 fallback for fully qualified component names.
11 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
12 - Require HTTP::Request 5.814 and HTTP::Response 5.813 from LWP 5.814
14 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
15 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
16 startup, rather than with the first hit.
17 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
18 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
19 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
20 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
21 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
22 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
23 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
24 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
27 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
28 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
29 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
30 deprecated and causes warnings).
31 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
32 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
34 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
36 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
37 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
38 is deprecated (RT#51490)
41 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
42 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
43 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
44 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
45 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
48 Refactoring / cleanups:
49 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
50 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
51 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
52 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
53 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
54 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
55 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
57 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
60 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
61 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
62 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
63 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
65 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
66 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
67 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
70 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
71 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
74 Refactoring / cleanups:
75 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
76 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
77 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
78 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
79 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
81 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
84 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
85 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
86 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
87 now loaded at most once + tests.
88 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
89 is returned to 'actions'.
90 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
91 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
93 Refactoring / cleanups:
94 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
95 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
98 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
99 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
100 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
102 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
105 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
106 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
109 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
112 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
113 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
114 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
116 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
119 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
120 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
121 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
123 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
126 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
127 application class immutable without that option.
128 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
129 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
131 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
132 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
133 (hopefully) future versions.
134 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
135 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
137 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
139 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
140 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
141 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
142 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
143 Request-URI of the Request-Line
145 Refactoring / cleanups:
146 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
147 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
148 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
149 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
150 known issues with 5.8.3.
151 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
152 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
155 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
156 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
157 for the controller namespace
158 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
159 expand_component_module (rjbs)
160 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
161 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
162 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
163 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
165 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
166 frontend port (jshirley)
167 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
171 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
172 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
173 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
174 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
177 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
180 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
181 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
182 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
184 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
185 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
186 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
187 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
188 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
189 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
193 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
194 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
195 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
198 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
201 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
202 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
204 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
205 in some environments.
206 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
207 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
208 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
209 except works correctly with closures.
210 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
211 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
212 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
214 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
215 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
216 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
219 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
220 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
221 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
222 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
223 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
224 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
226 Refactoring / cleanups:
227 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
228 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
229 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
230 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
232 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
233 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
234 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
236 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
237 again in Catalyst::Test
239 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
242 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
243 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
246 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
249 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
250 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
251 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
253 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
256 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
257 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
260 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
261 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
265 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
266 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
267 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
268 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
269 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
271 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
272 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
273 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
274 controller naming. (random)
275 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
276 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
277 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
278 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
279 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
281 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
283 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
284 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
285 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
287 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
288 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
289 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
290 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
291 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
292 to report 'Unknown Error'
293 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
294 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
295 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
296 parse_on_demand is on

305 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
306 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
308 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
309 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
310 Test::Aggregate is available.
311 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
312 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
313 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
314 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
315 disabling functionality from base controllers.
316 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
317 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
318 incompatibility issues in some cases.

323 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
324 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
325 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
326 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
327 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
328 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
329 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
331 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
332 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
333 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
334 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
335 configuration in your application.
337 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
338 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
339 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
341 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
342 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

347 the request parameters with undef + test
348 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
349 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
351 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
353 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
354 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions

359 warning on recent Moose versions.
360 - Add delta documentation
361 - Clean up recursion errors
362 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
363 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
365 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
366 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
368 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
369 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
370 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
371 tries to chain to itself
373 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
374 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
375 - Tests for this (radek)
376 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
377 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
378 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
379 - Tests for this (radek)
380 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
381 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
382 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
383 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
385 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
386 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
388 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
390 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
391 in production versions
392 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
393 the correct metaclass
394 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
395 the restarter process
396 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
397 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
399 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
400 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
401 immutable restart correctly.
403 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
404 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
405 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
406 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

417 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
418 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
419 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
420 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
421 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
422 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
423 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
425 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
426 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
427 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
430 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

462 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
464 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
465 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
466 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
467 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

478 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
479 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
480 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
481 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
482 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
483 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
485 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
486 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
488 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
489 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
490 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
492 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
493 test sync for engines easier
494 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
495 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
497 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
498 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
499 rather than the stringified ref.
500 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

502 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
503 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
504 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
506 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
507 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
508 die, as it didn't in 5.70

511 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
512 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
513 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
514 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
515 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
516 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
517 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
518 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
519 the key from the instance hash
520 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
521 trivial delegation methods
522 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

553 - Silence Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings in the test suite
554 - Fix loads of 'used once, possible typo' warnings
555 - Additional tests to ensure upload temp files are deleted
556 - Remove use of NEXT from the test suite, except for one case
557 which tests if Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT is working
558 - Use a predicate to avoid recursion in cases where the uri
559 method is overridden by a plugin, and calls the base method,
560 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
561 - Test for this (caelum)
562 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to
