1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
5 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
6 this fixes all of them.
7 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
8 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
9 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
10 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
12 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
15 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
16 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
17 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
18 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
19 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
20 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
21 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
23 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
24 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
25 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
26 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
27 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
28 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
30 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
31 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
32 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
33 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
34 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
35 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
36 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
37 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
39 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
42 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
43 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
44 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
45 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
46 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
47 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
49 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
50 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
51 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
52 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
53 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
54 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
57 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
58 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
59 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
60 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
61 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
62 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
63 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
64 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
65 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
66 in behavior is compatible on its own.
67 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
68 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
69 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
70 - Some test and documentation improvements
72 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
73 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
74 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
75 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
78 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
79 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
82 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
83 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
85 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
86 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
88 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
90 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
91 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
93 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
95 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
96 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
97 of request or response classes.
99 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
100 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
101 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
102 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
103 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
104 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
105 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
106 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
107 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
108 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
110 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
111 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
112 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
113 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
114 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
116 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
118 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
119 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
121 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
123 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
124 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
125 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
128 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
131 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
134 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
135 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
137 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
140 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
143 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
145 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
147 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
149 Distribution META.yml changes:
150 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
151 mis-parses from the documentation.
152 - x_authority key added.
155 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
156 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
158 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
159 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
160 is less than helpful.
162 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
163 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
164 in bleadperl. RT#76437
166 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
167 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
170 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
171 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
173 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
174 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
175 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
177 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
180 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
181 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
182 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
183 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
184 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
185 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
187 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
189 - --background option for the server script now only closes
190 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
191 and other loggers which open a file handle when
192 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
193 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
194 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
197 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
200 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
201 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
202 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
203 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
205 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
208 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
211 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
212 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
213 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
214 included when not running from a checkout.
216 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
218 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
219 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
220 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
222 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
224 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
226 New features and refactoring:
227 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
228 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
229 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
231 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
232 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
233 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
236 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
237 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
238 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
240 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
242 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
243 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
244 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
245 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
246 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
247 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
249 Back compatibility fixes:
250 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
251 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
252 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
255 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
258 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
259 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
260 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
262 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
263 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
264 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
266 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
269 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
270 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
271 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
272 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
273 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
276 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
277 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
279 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
280 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
281 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
283 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
286 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
287 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
288 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
289 get them passed through to the application.
292 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
293 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
294 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
295 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
298 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
299 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
300 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
301 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
303 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
304 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
305 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
307 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
308 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
310 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
314 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
315 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
316 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
317 whereas before you had to say:
318 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
319 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
320 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
323 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
324 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
325 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
326 scripts in the application.
327 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
328 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
329 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
334 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
336 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
337 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
338 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
339 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
340 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
341 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
342 and provide an alternative.
344 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
348 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
351 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
354 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
356 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
357 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
358 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
359 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
360 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
361 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
365 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
366 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
368 Backward compatibility fixes:
370 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
371 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
375 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
376 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
378 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
380 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
382 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
383 Backward compatibility fixes:
385 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
386 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
388 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
392 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
393 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
394 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
396 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
398 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
399 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
401 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
405 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
407 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
409 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
411 Backward compatibility fixes:
413 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
415 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
416 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
417 for backward compatibility.
421 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
422 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
426 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
427 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
428 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
430 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
432 Backward compatibility fixes:
434 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
435 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
439 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
442 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
443 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
444 example) Coro is loaded.
446 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
447 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
449 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
450 using MooseX::Deamonize
452 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
453 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
454 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
455 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
456 deployed in these environments.
460 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
464 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
465 file for your application.
467 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
471 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
472 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
474 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
477 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
478 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
480 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
482 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
483 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
485 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
486 IO::Handle's behaviour.
488 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
489 was not breaking out correctly
491 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
492 to also work in the $c->component method.
494 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
495 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
496 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
498 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
500 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
502 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
504 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
505 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
508 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
510 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
513 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
517 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
518 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
519 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
521 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
524 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
526 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
527 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
528 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
530 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
533 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
534 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
535 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
536 the new major version of Catalyst.
539 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
540 of Catalyst has been much improved.
542 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
545 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
546 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
547 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
549 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
551 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
552 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
553 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
555 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
558 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
559 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
560 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
562 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
563 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
567 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
568 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
570 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
571 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
572 developers without changing their application code.
574 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
577 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
578 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
579 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
580 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
581 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
583 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
584 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
586 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
588 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
592 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
593 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
594 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
595 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
596 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
597 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
598 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
600 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
601 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
602 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
603 class, please tell us *now*.
605 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
608 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
610 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
611 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
612 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
613 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
614 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
615 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
618 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
619 the Content-Length header appropriately)
620 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
621 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
622 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
623 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
624 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
625 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
627 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
628 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
629 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
630 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
631 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
632 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
633 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
634 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
637 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
638 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
640 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
643 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
644 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
648 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
649 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
651 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
654 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
656 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
657 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
659 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
661 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
664 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
666 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
669 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
670 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
671 load Utils before MyApp.pm
673 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
676 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
678 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
679 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
680 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
681 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
682 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
684 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
687 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
688 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
689 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
692 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
693 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
698 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
701 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
704 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
705 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
706 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
707 the default action creation.
710 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
711 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
712 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
713 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
714 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
715 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
716 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
719 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
721 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
723 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
725 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
728 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
729 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
730 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
731 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
732 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
735 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
736 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
739 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
740 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
741 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
742 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
744 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
747 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
748 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
749 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
750 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
751 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
752 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
753 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
754 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
757 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
758 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
759 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
761 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
762 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
763 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
764 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
767 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
768 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
771 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
772 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
775 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
778 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
779 the content type and content length if available.
781 Refactoring / optimizations:
782 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
783 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
784 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
785 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
786 screen as easy to write.
787 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
788 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
789 in parameter filtering (for example).
790 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
791 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
792 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
793 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
794 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
797 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
798 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
799 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
800 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
802 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
805 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
806 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
808 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
811 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
812 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
814 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
817 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
818 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
819 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
820 which should not be encoded.
821 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
822 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
824 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
825 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
826 any set of args/captures.
828 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
829 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
831 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
835 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
837 - Various minor typo fixes.
840 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
842 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
845 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
846 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
847 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
850 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
851 - Clarify documentation about debug
854 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
855 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
856 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
858 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
861 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
862 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
866 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
867 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
869 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
870 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
871 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
872 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
873 argv key in the options hash.
874 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
875 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
876 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
877 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
879 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
883 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
884 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
885 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
886 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
887 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
889 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
893 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
894 encoding test controller.
896 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
898 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
899 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
900 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
901 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
903 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
904 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
905 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
906 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
907 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
909 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
913 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
914 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
915 less packed with information of no use.
919 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
921 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
923 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
924 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
925 the single character '0'.
926 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
929 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
930 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
931 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
933 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
935 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
936 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
937 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
938 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
939 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
940 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
941 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
942 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
943 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
944 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
945 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
946 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
948 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
949 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
951 Refactoring / cleanups:
952 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
953 (and then skipped) normally.
956 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
958 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
961 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
962 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
963 on the old behaviour.
965 Refactoring / cleanups:
966 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
967 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
969 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
972 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
973 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
974 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
975 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
976 as there is no recommended alternative.
977 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
978 fallback for fully qualified component names.
979 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
980 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
981 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
982 startup, rather than with the first hit.
983 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
984 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
985 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
986 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
987 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
988 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
989 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
990 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
993 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
994 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
995 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
996 deprecated and causes warnings).
997 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
998 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
999 in the correct order.
1000 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1002 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1003 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1004 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1007 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1008 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1009 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1010 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1011 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1013 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1014 exception classes need to implement.
1015 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1016 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1019 Refactoring / cleanups:
1020 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1021 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1022 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1023 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1024 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1025 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1026 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1028 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1031 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1032 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1033 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1034 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1036 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1037 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1038 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1041 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1042 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1045 Refactoring / cleanups:
1046 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1047 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1048 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1049 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1050 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1052 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1055 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1056 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1057 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1058 now loaded at most once + tests.
1059 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1060 is returned to 'actions'.
1061 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1062 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1064 Refactoring / cleanups:
1065 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1066 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1069 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1070 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1071 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1073 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1076 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1077 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1080 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1083 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1084 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1085 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1087 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1090 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1091 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1092 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1094 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1097 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1098 application class immutable without that option.
1099 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1100 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1102 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1103 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1104 (hopefully) future versions.
1105 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1106 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1107 variables (RT#48555)
1108 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1110 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1111 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1112 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1113 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1114 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1116 Refactoring / cleanups:
1117 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1118 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1119 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1120 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1121 known issues with 5.8.3.
1122 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1123 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1126 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1127 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1128 for the controller namespace
1129 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1130 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1131 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1132 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1133 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1134 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1136 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1137 frontend port (jshirley)
1138 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1142 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1143 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1144 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1145 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1148 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1151 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1152 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1153 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1155 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1156 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1157 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1158 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1159 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1160 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1164 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1165 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1166 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1169 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1172 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1173 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1175 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1176 in some environments.
1177 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1178 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1179 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1180 except works correctly with closures.
1181 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1182 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1183 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1184 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1185 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1186 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1187 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1190 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1191 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1192 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1193 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1194 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1195 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1197 Refactoring / cleanups:
1198 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1199 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1200 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1201 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1203 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1204 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1205 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1207 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1208 again in Catalyst::Test
1210 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1213 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1214 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1217 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1220 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1221 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)

1238 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1239 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1240 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1242 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

1262 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1263 to report 'Unknown Error'
1264 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1265 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

1299 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1300 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1303 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1304 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1305 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1339 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1340 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1341 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1342 tries to chain to itself

1345 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1346 - Tests for this (radek)
1347 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1348 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1349 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly

1364 the correct metaclass
1365 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1366 the restarter process
1367 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1368 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1370 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1371 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1372 immutable restart correctly.
1374 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1375 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1391 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1392 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1393 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1394 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1396 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1397 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1448 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1449 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1457 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1459 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1460 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1485 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1486 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1487 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1658 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1659 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
