1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger
5 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout
6 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
7 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN
10 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
11 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
12 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
13 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
14 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
15 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
16 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
17 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
18 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
19 in behavior is compatible on its own.
20 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
21 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
22 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
23 - Some test and documentation improvements
25 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
26 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
27 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
28 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
31 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
32 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
35 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
36 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
38 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
39 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
41 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
43 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
44 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
46 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
48 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
49 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
50 of request or response classes.
52 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
53 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
54 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
55 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
56 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
57 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
58 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
59 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
60 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
61 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
63 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
64 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
65 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
66 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
67 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
69 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
71 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
72 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
74 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
76 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
77 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
78 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
81 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
84 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
87 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
88 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
90 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
93 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
96 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
98 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
100 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
102 Distribution META.yml changes:
103 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
104 mis-parses from the documentation.
105 - x_authority key added.
108 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
109 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
111 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
112 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
113 is less than helpful.
115 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
116 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
117 in bleadperl. RT#76437
119 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
120 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
123 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
124 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
126 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
127 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
128 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
130 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
133 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
134 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
135 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
136 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
137 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
138 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
140 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
142 - --background option for the server script now only closes
143 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
144 and other loggers which open a file handle when
145 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
146 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
147 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
150 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
153 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
154 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
155 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
156 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
158 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
161 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
164 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
165 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
166 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
167 included when not running from a checkout.
169 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
171 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
172 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
173 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
175 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
177 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
179 New features and refactoring:
180 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
181 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
182 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
184 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
185 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
186 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
189 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
190 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
191 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
193 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
195 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
196 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
197 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
198 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
199 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
200 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
202 Back compatibility fixes:
203 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
204 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
205 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
208 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
211 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
212 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
213 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
215 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
216 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
217 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
219 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
222 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
223 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
224 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
225 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
226 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
229 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
230 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
232 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
233 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
234 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
236 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
239 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
240 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
241 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
242 get them passed through to the application.
245 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
246 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
247 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
248 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
251 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
252 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
253 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
254 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
256 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
257 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
258 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
260 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
261 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
263 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
267 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
268 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
269 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
270 whereas before you had to say:
271 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
272 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
273 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
276 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
277 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
278 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
279 scripts in the application.
280 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
281 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
282 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
287 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
289 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
290 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
291 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
292 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
293 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
294 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
295 and provide an alternative.
297 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
301 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
304 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
307 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
309 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
310 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
311 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
312 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
313 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
314 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
318 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
319 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
321 Backward compatibility fixes:
323 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
324 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
328 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
329 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
331 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
333 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
335 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
336 Backward compatibility fixes:
338 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
339 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
341 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
345 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
346 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
347 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
349 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
351 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
352 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
354 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
358 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
360 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
362 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
364 Backward compatibility fixes:
366 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
368 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
369 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
370 for backward compatibility.
374 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
375 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
379 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
380 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
381 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
383 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
385 Backward compatibility fixes:
387 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
388 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
392 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
395 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
396 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
397 example) Coro is loaded.
399 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
400 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
402 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
403 using MooseX::Deamonize
405 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
406 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
407 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
408 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
409 deployed in these environments.
413 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
417 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
418 file for your application.
420 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
424 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
425 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
427 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
430 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
431 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
433 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
435 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
436 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
438 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
439 IO::Handle's behaviour.
441 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
442 was not breaking out correctly
444 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
445 to also work in the $c->component method.
447 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
448 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
449 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
451 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
453 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
455 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
457 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
458 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
461 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
463 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
466 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
470 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
471 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
472 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
474 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
477 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
479 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
480 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
481 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
483 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
486 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
487 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
488 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
489 the new major version of Catalyst.
492 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
493 of Catalyst has been much improved.
495 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
498 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
499 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
500 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
502 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
504 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
505 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
506 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
508 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
511 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
512 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
513 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
515 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
516 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
520 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
521 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
523 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
524 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
525 developers without changing their application code.
527 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
530 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
531 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
532 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
533 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
534 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
536 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
537 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
539 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
541 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
545 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
546 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
547 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
548 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
549 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
550 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
551 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
553 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
554 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
555 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
556 class, please tell us *now*.
558 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
561 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
563 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
564 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
565 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
566 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
567 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
568 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
571 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
572 the Content-Length header appropriately)
573 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
574 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
575 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
576 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
577 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
578 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
580 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
581 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
582 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
583 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
584 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
585 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
586 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
587 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
590 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
591 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
593 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
596 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
597 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
601 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
602 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
604 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
607 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
609 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
610 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
612 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
614 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
617 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
619 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
622 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
623 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
624 load Utils before MyApp.pm
626 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
629 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
631 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
632 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
633 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
634 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
635 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
637 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
640 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
641 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
642 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
645 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
646 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
651 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
654 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
657 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
658 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
659 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
660 the default action creation.
663 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
664 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
665 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
666 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
667 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
668 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
669 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
672 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
674 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
676 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
678 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
681 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
682 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
683 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
684 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
685 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
688 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
689 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
692 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
693 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
694 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
695 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
697 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
700 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
701 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
702 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
703 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
704 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
705 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
706 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
707 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
710 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
711 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
712 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
714 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
715 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
716 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
717 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
720 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
721 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
724 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
725 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
728 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
731 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
732 the content type and content length if available.
734 Refactoring / optimizations:
735 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
736 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
737 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
738 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
739 screen as easy to write.
740 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
741 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
742 in parameter filtering (for example).
743 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
744 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
745 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
746 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
747 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
750 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
751 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
752 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
753 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
755 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
758 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
759 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
761 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
764 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
765 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
767 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
770 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
771 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
772 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
773 which should not be encoded.
774 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
775 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
777 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
778 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
779 any set of args/captures.
781 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
782 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
784 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
788 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
790 - Various minor typo fixes.
793 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
795 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
798 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
799 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
800 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
803 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
804 - Clarify documentation about debug
807 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
808 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
809 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
811 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
814 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
815 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
819 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
820 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
822 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
823 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
824 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
825 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
826 argv key in the options hash.
827 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
828 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
829 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
830 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
832 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
836 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
837 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
838 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
839 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
840 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
842 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
846 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
847 encoding test controller.
849 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
851 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
852 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
853 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
854 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
856 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
857 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
858 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
859 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
860 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
862 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
866 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
867 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
868 less packed with information of no use.
872 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
874 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
876 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
877 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
878 the single character '0'.
879 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
882 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
883 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
884 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
886 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
888 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
889 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
890 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
891 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
892 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
893 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
894 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
895 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
896 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
897 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
898 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
899 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
901 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
902 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
904 Refactoring / cleanups:
905 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
906 (and then skipped) normally.
909 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
911 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
914 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
915 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
916 on the old behaviour.
918 Refactoring / cleanups:
919 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
920 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
922 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
925 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
926 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
927 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
928 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
929 as there is no recommended alternative.
930 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
931 fallback for fully qualified component names.
932 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
933 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
934 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
935 startup, rather than with the first hit.
936 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
937 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
938 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
939 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
940 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
941 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
942 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
943 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
946 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
947 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
948 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
949 deprecated and causes warnings).
950 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
951 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
952 in the correct order.
953 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
955 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
956 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
957 is deprecated (RT#51489)
960 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
961 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
962 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
963 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
964 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
966 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
967 exception classes need to implement.
968 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
969 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
972 Refactoring / cleanups:
973 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
974 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
975 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
976 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
977 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
978 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
979 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
981 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
984 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
985 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
986 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
987 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
989 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
990 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
991 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
994 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
995 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
998 Refactoring / cleanups:
999 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1000 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1001 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1002 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1003 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1005 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1008 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1009 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1010 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1011 now loaded at most once + tests.
1012 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1013 is returned to 'actions'.
1014 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1015 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1017 Refactoring / cleanups:
1018 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1019 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1022 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1023 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1024 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1026 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1029 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1030 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1033 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1036 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1037 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1038 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1040 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1043 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1044 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1045 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1047 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1050 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1051 application class immutable without that option.
1052 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1053 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1055 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1056 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1057 (hopefully) future versions.
1058 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1059 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1060 variables (RT#48555)
1061 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1063 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1064 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1065 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1066 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1067 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1069 Refactoring / cleanups:
1070 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1071 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1072 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1073 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1074 known issues with 5.8.3.
1075 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1076 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1079 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1080 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1081 for the controller namespace
1082 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1083 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1084 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1085 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1086 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1087 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1089 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1090 frontend port (jshirley)
1091 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1095 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1096 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1097 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1098 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1101 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1104 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1105 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1106 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1108 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1109 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1110 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1111 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1112 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1113 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1117 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1118 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1119 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1122 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1125 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1126 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1128 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1129 in some environments.
1130 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1131 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1132 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1133 except works correctly with closures.
1134 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1135 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1136 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1137 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1138 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1139 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1140 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1143 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1144 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1145 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1146 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1147 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1148 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1150 Refactoring / cleanups:
1151 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1152 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1153 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1154 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1156 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1157 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1158 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1160 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1161 again in Catalyst::Test
1163 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1166 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1167 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1170 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1173 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1174 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1175 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1177 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1180 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1181 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1184 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1185 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1189 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1190 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1191 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1192 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1193 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1195 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1196 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1197 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1198 controller naming. (random)
1199 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1200 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1201 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1202 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1203 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1205 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1207 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1208 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1209 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1211 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1212 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1213 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1214 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1215 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1216 to report 'Unknown Error'
1217 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1218 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1219 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1220 parse_on_demand is on
1222 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1223 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1224 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1225 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1226 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1227 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1232 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1233 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1234 Test::Aggregate is available.
1235 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1236 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1237 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1238 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1239 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1250 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1251 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1252 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1253 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1256 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1257 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1258 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1259 configuration in your application.
1261 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1262 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1263 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

1287 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1289 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1290 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1292 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1293 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1294 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1295 tries to chain to itself
1297 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1298 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1299 - Tests for this (radek)
1300 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1301 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1302 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1303 - Tests for this (radek)

1307 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1309 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1310 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1312 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1314 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1315 in production versions
1316 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1317 the correct metaclass
1318 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1319 the restarter process
1320 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1321 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1323 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1324 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1325 immutable restart correctly.
1327 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1328 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1340 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1341 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1342 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1344 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1345 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1346 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1347 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1349 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1350 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1351 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1388 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1389 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1390 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1410 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1412 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1413 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1414 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1416 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1417 test sync for engines easier

1438 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1439 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1440 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1562 throw warnings for two reasons:
1563 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1564 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1611 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1612 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
