1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Announcing the repo is not open for development of Perl Catalyst 'Runner'
4 - http://questhub.io/realm/perl/explore/latest/tag/runner
7 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
8 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
9 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
10 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
11 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
12 - Official warning that Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is no longer supported and
13 we will be removing any existing backcompat code for this engine in a
16 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
17 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
18 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
19 fails to install (sorry).
20 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
21 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
22 middleware deal with it.
24 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
25 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
26 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
27 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
28 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
29 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
30 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
31 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
32 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
34 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
35 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
36 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
37 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
38 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
39 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
40 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
41 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
42 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
43 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
45 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
46 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
47 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
48 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
52 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
53 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
54 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
55 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
56 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
57 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
61 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
62 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
63 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
65 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
66 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
67 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
69 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
70 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
71 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
72 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
74 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
75 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
76 - Various POD formating fixed.
77 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
78 accept and issues that might arise.
81 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
82 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
85 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
86 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
89 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
90 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
91 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
93 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
94 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
95 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
96 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
98 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
99 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
100 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
102 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
103 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
104 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
105 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
106 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
108 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
109 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
110 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
111 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
112 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
113 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
114 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
115 cases to reflect this change.
117 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
118 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
119 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
120 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
121 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
122 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
123 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
124 those keys already exist). Keys added:
125 - plack.request.query
127 - plack.request.merged
128 - plack.request.http.body
129 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
130 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
131 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
132 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
133 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
134 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
135 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
136 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
137 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
138 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
139 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
140 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
141 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
142 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
143 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
144 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
145 is a scalar or arrayref.
146 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
147 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
149 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
150 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
151 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
153 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
154 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
155 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
156 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
157 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
158 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
159 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
160 a development setup (ether++)
162 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
163 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
164 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
165 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
166 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
167 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
168 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
169 case t/data_handler.t
171 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
172 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
173 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
174 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
175 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
178 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
179 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
180 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
181 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
183 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
185 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
189 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
190 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
191 this fixes all of them.
192 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
193 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
194 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
195 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
197 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
200 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
201 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
202 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
203 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
204 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
205 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
206 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
208 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
209 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
210 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
211 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
212 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
213 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
215 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
216 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
217 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
218 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
219 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
220 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
221 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
222 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
224 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
227 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
228 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
229 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
230 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
231 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
232 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
234 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
235 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
236 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
237 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
238 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
239 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
242 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
243 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
244 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
245 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
246 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
247 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
248 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
249 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
250 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
251 in behavior is compatible on its own.
252 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
253 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
254 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
255 - Some test and documentation improvements
257 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
258 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
259 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
260 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
263 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
264 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
267 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
268 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
270 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
271 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
273 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
275 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
276 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
278 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
280 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
281 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
282 of request or response classes.
284 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
285 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
286 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
287 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
288 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
289 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
290 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
291 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
292 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
293 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
295 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
296 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
297 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
298 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
299 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
301 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
303 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
304 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
306 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
308 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
309 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
310 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
313 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
316 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
319 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
320 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
322 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
325 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
328 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
330 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
332 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
334 Distribution META.yml changes:
335 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
336 mis-parses from the documentation.
337 - x_authority key added.
340 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
341 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
343 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
344 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
345 is less than helpful.
347 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
348 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
349 in bleadperl. RT#76437
351 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
352 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
355 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
356 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
358 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
359 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
360 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
362 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
365 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
366 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
367 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
368 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
369 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
370 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
372 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
374 - --background option for the server script now only closes
375 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
376 and other loggers which open a file handle when
377 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
378 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
379 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
382 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
385 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
386 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
387 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
388 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
390 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
393 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
396 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
397 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
398 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
399 included when not running from a checkout.
401 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
403 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
404 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
405 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
407 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
409 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
411 New features and refactoring:
412 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
413 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
414 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
416 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
417 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
418 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
421 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
422 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
423 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
425 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
427 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
428 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
429 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
430 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
431 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
432 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
434 Back compatibility fixes:
435 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
436 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
437 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
440 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
443 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
444 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
445 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
447 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
448 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
449 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
451 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
454 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
455 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
456 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
457 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
458 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
461 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
462 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
464 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
465 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
466 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
468 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
471 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
472 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
473 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
474 get them passed through to the application.
477 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
478 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
479 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
480 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
483 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
484 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
485 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
486 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
488 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
489 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
490 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
492 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
493 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
495 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
499 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
500 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
501 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
502 whereas before you had to say:
503 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
504 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
505 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
508 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
509 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
510 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
511 scripts in the application.
512 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
513 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
514 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
519 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
521 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
522 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
523 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
524 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
525 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
526 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
527 and provide an alternative.
529 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
533 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
536 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
539 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
541 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
542 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
543 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
544 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
545 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
546 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
550 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
551 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
553 Backward compatibility fixes:
555 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
556 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
560 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
561 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
563 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
565 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
567 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
568 Backward compatibility fixes:
570 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
571 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
573 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
577 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
578 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
579 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
581 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
583 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
584 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
586 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
590 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
592 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
594 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
596 Backward compatibility fixes:
598 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
600 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
601 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
602 for backward compatibility.
606 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
607 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
611 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
612 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
613 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
615 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
617 Backward compatibility fixes:
619 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
620 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
624 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
627 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
628 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
629 example) Coro is loaded.
631 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
632 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
634 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
635 using MooseX::Deamonize
637 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
638 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
639 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
640 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
641 deployed in these environments.
645 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
649 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
650 file for your application.
652 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
656 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
657 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
659 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
662 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
663 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
665 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
667 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
668 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
670 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
671 IO::Handle's behaviour.
673 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
674 was not breaking out correctly
676 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
677 to also work in the $c->component method.
679 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
680 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
681 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
683 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
685 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
687 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
689 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
690 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
693 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
695 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
698 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
702 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
703 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
704 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
706 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
709 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
711 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
712 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
713 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
715 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
718 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
719 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
720 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
721 the new major version of Catalyst.
724 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
725 of Catalyst has been much improved.
727 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
730 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
731 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
732 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
734 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
736 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
737 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
738 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
740 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
743 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
744 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
745 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
747 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
748 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
752 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
753 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
755 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
756 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
757 developers without changing their application code.
759 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
762 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
763 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
764 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
765 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
766 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
768 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
769 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
771 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
773 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
777 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
778 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
779 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
780 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
781 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
782 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
783 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
785 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
786 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
787 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
788 class, please tell us *now*.
790 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
793 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
795 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
796 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
797 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
798 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
799 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
800 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
803 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
804 the Content-Length header appropriately)
805 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
806 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
807 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
808 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
809 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
810 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
812 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
813 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
814 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
815 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
816 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
817 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
818 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
819 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
822 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
823 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
825 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
828 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
829 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
833 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
834 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
836 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
839 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
841 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
842 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
844 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
846 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
849 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
851 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
854 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
855 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
856 load Utils before MyApp.pm
858 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
861 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
863 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
864 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
865 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
866 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
867 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
869 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
872 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
873 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
874 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
877 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
878 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
883 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
886 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
889 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
890 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
891 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
892 the default action creation.
895 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
896 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
897 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
898 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
899 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
900 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
901 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
904 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
906 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
908 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
910 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
913 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
914 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
915 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
916 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
917 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
920 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
921 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
924 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
925 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
926 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
927 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
929 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
932 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
933 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
934 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
935 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
936 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
937 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
938 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
939 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
942 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
943 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
944 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
946 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
947 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
948 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
949 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
952 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
953 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
956 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
957 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
960 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
963 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
964 the content type and content length if available.
966 Refactoring / optimizations:
967 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
968 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
969 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
970 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
971 screen as easy to write.
972 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
973 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
974 in parameter filtering (for example).
975 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
976 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
977 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
978 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
979 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
982 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
983 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
984 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
985 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
987 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
990 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
991 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
993 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
996 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
997 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
999 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1002 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1003 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1004 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1005 which should not be encoded.
1006 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1007 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1009 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1010 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1011 any set of args/captures.
1013 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1014 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1016 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1020 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1022 - Various minor typo fixes.
1025 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1027 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1030 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1031 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1032 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1035 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1036 - Clarify documentation about debug
1039 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1040 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1041 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1043 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1046 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1047 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1051 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1052 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1054 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1055 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1056 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1057 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1058 argv key in the options hash.
1059 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1060 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1061 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1062 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1064 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1068 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1069 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1070 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1071 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1072 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1074 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1078 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1079 encoding test controller.
1081 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1083 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1084 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1085 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1086 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1088 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1089 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1090 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1091 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1092 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1094 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1098 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1099 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1100 less packed with information of no use.
1104 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1106 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1108 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1109 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1110 the single character '0'.
1111 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1114 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1115 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1116 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1118 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1120 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1121 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1122 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1123 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1124 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1125 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1126 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1127 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1128 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1129 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1130 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1131 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1133 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1134 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1136 Refactoring / cleanups:
1137 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1138 (and then skipped) normally.
1141 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1143 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1146 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1147 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1148 on the old behaviour.
1150 Refactoring / cleanups:
1151 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1152 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1154 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1157 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1158 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1159 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1160 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1161 as there is no recommended alternative.
1162 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1163 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1164 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1165 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1166 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1167 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1168 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1169 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1170 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1171 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1172 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1173 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1174 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1175 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1178 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1179 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1180 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1181 deprecated and causes warnings).
1182 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1183 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1184 in the correct order.
1185 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1187 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1188 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1189 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1192 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1193 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1194 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1195 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1196 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1198 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1199 exception classes need to implement.
1200 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1201 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1204 Refactoring / cleanups:
1205 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1206 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1207 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1208 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1209 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1210 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1211 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1213 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1216 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1217 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1218 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1219 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1221 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1222 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1223 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1226 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1227 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1230 Refactoring / cleanups:
1231 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1232 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1233 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1234 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1235 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1237 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1240 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1241 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1242 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1243 now loaded at most once + tests.
1244 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1245 is returned to 'actions'.
1246 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1247 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1249 Refactoring / cleanups:
1250 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1251 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1254 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1255 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1256 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1258 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1261 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1262 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1265 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1268 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1269 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1270 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1272 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1275 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1276 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1277 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1279 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1282 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1283 application class immutable without that option.
1284 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1285 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1287 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1288 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1289 (hopefully) future versions.
1290 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1291 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1292 variables (RT#48555)
1293 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1295 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1296 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1297 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1298 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1299 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1301 Refactoring / cleanups:
1302 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1303 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1304 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1305 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1306 known issues with 5.8.3.
1307 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1308 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1311 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1312 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1313 for the controller namespace
1314 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1315 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1316 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1317 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1318 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1319 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1321 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1322 frontend port (jshirley)
1323 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1327 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1328 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1329 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1330 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1333 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1336 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1337 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1338 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1340 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1341 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1342 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1343 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1344 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1345 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1349 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1350 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1351 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1354 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1357 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1358 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1360 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1361 in some environments.
1362 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1363 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1364 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1365 except works correctly with closures.
1366 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1367 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1368 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1369 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1370 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1371 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1372 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1375 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1376 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1377 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1378 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1379 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1380 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1382 Refactoring / cleanups:
1383 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1384 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1385 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1386 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1388 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1389 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1390 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1392 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1393 again in Catalyst::Test
1395 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1398 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1399 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1402 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1405 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1406 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1407 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1409 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1412 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1413 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1416 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1417 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1421 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1422 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1423 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1424 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1425 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1427 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1428 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1429 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1430 controller naming. (random)
1431 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1432 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1433 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1434 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1435 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1437 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1441 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1443 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1444 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1445 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1446 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1447 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1448 to report 'Unknown Error'
1449 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1450 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1451 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1452 parse_on_demand is on
1454 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1455 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1456 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1457 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1458 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1459 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1461 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1462 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1464 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1465 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1466 Test::Aggregate is available.
1467 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1468 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1469 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1470 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1471 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1480 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1481 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1482 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1483 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1484 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1485 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1487 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1488 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1489 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1490 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1491 configuration in your application.
1493 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1494 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1495 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1497 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1498 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1500 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1501 has been made private

1505 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1507 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1509 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1510 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1511 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1513 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

1515 warning on recent Moose versions.
1516 - Add delta documentation
1517 - Clean up recursion errors
1518 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1519 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1521 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1522 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1524 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1525 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1526 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1527 tries to chain to itself
1529 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1530 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1531 - Tests for this (radek)
1532 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1533 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1534 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1535 - Tests for this (radek)
1536 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1537 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1538 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1539 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1541 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1542 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1544 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1546 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1547 in production versions
1548 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1549 the correct metaclass
1550 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1551 the restarter process
1552 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1553 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1555 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1556 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1557 immutable restart correctly.
1559 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1560 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1571 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1572 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1573 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1574 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1575 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1576 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1577 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1578 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1579 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1581 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1582 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1583 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1586 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1614 keep-alive requests.
1615 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1616 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1617 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1618 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1620 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1621 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1622 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1623 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1624 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1625 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1626 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

1630 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1631 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1632 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1633 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1634 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1635 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1636 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1637 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1638 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1639 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1641 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1642 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1644 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1645 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1646 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1648 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1649 test sync for engines easier
1650 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1651 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1653 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional

1655 rather than the stringified ref.
1656 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

1660 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1662 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1663 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1664 die, as it didn't in 5.70

1667 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1668 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1669 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1670 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1671 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1672 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1715 method is overridden by a plugin, and calls the base method,
1716 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1717 - Test for this (caelum)
1718 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to
