1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
5 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
6 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
7 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
11 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
12 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
13 so you can go to hunt it out.
16 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
17 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
18 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
19 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
20 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
21 - Added italian translation of default error.
24 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
27 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
28 certain tests. No other changes.
31 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
32 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
33 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
35 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
37 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
39 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
43 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
44 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
45 questions or problems!
46 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
47 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
48 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
49 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
50 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
51 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
52 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
53 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
54 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
57 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
58 - documentation and test fixes
61 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
62 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
63 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
64 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
65 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
66 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
67 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
70 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
71 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
74 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
75 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
76 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
77 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
78 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
79 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
80 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
81 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
83 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
86 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
87 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
90 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
91 introduced by a change in December.
94 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
97 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
98 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
99 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
100 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
101 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
104 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
105 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
106 reported while installing.
107 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
108 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
109 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
110 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
111 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
112 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
113 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
114 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
115 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
116 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
117 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
118 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
119 - update copyright notices.
121 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
122 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
123 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
124 fails to install (sorry).
125 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
126 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
127 middleware deal with it.
129 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
130 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
131 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
132 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
133 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
134 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
135 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
136 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
137 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
139 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
140 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
141 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
142 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
143 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
144 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
145 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
146 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
147 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
148 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
150 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
151 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
152 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
153 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
157 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
158 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
159 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
160 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
161 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
162 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
166 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
167 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
168 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
170 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
171 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
172 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
174 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
175 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
176 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
177 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
179 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
180 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
181 - Various POD formating fixed.
182 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
183 accept and issues that might arise.
186 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
187 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
190 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
191 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
192 for internal methods:
194 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
195 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
196 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
198 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
199 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
200 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
201 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
203 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
204 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
205 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
207 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
208 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
209 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
210 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
211 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
213 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
214 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
215 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
216 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
217 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
218 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
219 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
220 cases to reflect this change.
222 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
223 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
224 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
225 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
226 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
227 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
228 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
229 those keys already exist). Keys added:
230 - plack.request.query
232 - plack.request.merged
233 - plack.request.http.body
234 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
235 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
236 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
237 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
238 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
239 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
240 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
241 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
242 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
243 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
244 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
245 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
246 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
247 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
248 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
249 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
250 is a scalar or arrayref.
251 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
252 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
254 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
255 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
256 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
258 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
259 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
260 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
261 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
262 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
263 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
264 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
265 a development setup (ether++)
267 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
268 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
269 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
270 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
271 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
272 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
273 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
274 case t/data_handler.t
276 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
277 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
278 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
279 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
280 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
283 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
284 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
285 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
286 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
288 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
290 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
294 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
295 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
296 this fixes all of them.
297 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
298 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
299 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
300 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
302 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
305 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
306 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
307 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
308 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
309 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
310 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
311 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
313 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
314 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
315 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
316 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
317 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
318 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
320 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
321 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
322 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
323 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
324 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
325 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
326 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
327 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
329 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
332 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
333 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
334 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
335 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
336 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
337 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
339 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
340 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
341 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
342 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
343 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
344 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
347 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
348 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
349 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
350 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
351 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
352 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
353 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
354 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
355 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
356 in behavior is compatible on its own.
357 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
358 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
359 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
360 - Some test and documentation improvements
362 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
363 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
364 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
365 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
368 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
369 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
372 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
373 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
375 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
376 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
378 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
380 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
381 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
383 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
385 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
386 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
387 of request or response classes.
389 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
390 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
391 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
392 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
393 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
394 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
395 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
396 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
397 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
398 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
400 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
401 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
402 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
403 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
404 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
406 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
408 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
409 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
411 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
413 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
414 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
415 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
418 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
421 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
424 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
425 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
427 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
430 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
433 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
435 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
437 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
439 Distribution META.yml changes:
440 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
441 mis-parses from the documentation.
442 - x_authority key added.
445 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
446 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
448 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
449 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
450 is less than helpful.
452 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
453 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
454 in bleadperl. RT#76437
456 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
457 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
460 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
461 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
463 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
464 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
465 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
467 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
470 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
471 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
472 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
473 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
474 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
475 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
477 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
479 - --background option for the server script now only closes
480 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
481 and other loggers which open a file handle when
482 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
483 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
484 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
487 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
490 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
491 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
492 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
493 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
495 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
498 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
501 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
502 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
503 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
504 included when not running from a checkout.
506 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
508 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
509 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
510 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
512 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
514 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
516 New features and refactoring:
517 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
518 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
519 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
521 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
522 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
523 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
526 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
527 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
528 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
530 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
532 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
533 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
534 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
535 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
536 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
537 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
539 Back compatibility fixes:
540 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
541 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
542 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
545 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
548 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
549 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
550 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
552 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
553 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
554 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
556 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
559 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
560 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
561 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
562 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
563 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
566 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
567 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
569 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
570 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
571 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
573 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
576 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
577 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
578 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
579 get them passed through to the application.
582 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
583 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
584 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
585 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
588 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
589 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
590 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
591 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
593 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
594 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
595 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
597 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
598 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
600 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
604 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
605 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
606 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
607 whereas before you had to say:
608 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
609 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
610 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
613 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
614 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
615 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
616 scripts in the application.
617 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
618 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
619 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
624 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
626 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
627 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
628 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
629 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
630 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
631 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
632 and provide an alternative.
634 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
638 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
641 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
644 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
646 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
647 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
648 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
649 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
650 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
651 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
655 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
656 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
658 Backward compatibility fixes:
660 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
661 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
665 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
666 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
668 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
670 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
672 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
673 Backward compatibility fixes:
675 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
676 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
678 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
682 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
683 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
684 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
686 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
688 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
689 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
691 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
695 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
697 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
699 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
701 Backward compatibility fixes:
703 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
705 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
706 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
707 for backward compatibility.
711 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
712 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
716 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
717 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
718 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
720 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
722 Backward compatibility fixes:
724 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
725 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
729 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
732 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
733 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
734 example) Coro is loaded.
736 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
737 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
739 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
740 using MooseX::Deamonize
742 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
743 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
744 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
745 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
746 deployed in these environments.
750 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
754 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
755 file for your application.
757 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
761 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
762 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
764 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
767 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
768 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
770 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
772 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
773 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
775 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
776 IO::Handle's behaviour.
778 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
779 was not breaking out correctly
781 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
782 to also work in the $c->component method.
784 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
785 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
786 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
788 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
790 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
792 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
794 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
795 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
798 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
800 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
803 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
807 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
808 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
809 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
811 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
814 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
816 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
817 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
818 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
820 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
823 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
824 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
825 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
826 the new major version of Catalyst.
829 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
830 of Catalyst has been much improved.
832 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
835 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
836 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
837 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
839 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
841 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
842 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
843 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
845 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
848 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
849 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
850 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
852 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
853 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
857 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
858 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
860 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
861 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
862 developers without changing their application code.
864 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
867 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
868 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
869 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
870 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
871 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
873 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
874 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
876 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
878 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
882 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
883 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
884 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
885 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
886 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
887 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
888 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
890 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
891 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
892 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
893 class, please tell us *now*.
895 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
898 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
900 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
901 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
902 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
903 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
904 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
905 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
908 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
909 the Content-Length header appropriately)
910 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
911 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
912 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
913 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
914 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
915 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
917 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
918 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
919 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
920 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
921 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
922 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
923 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
924 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
927 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
928 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
930 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
933 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
934 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
938 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
939 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
941 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
944 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
946 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
947 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
949 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
951 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
954 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
956 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
959 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
960 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
961 load Utils before MyApp.pm
963 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
966 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
968 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
969 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
970 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
971 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
972 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
974 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
977 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
978 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
979 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
982 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
983 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
988 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
991 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
994 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
995 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
996 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
997 the default action creation.
1000 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1001 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1002 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1003 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1004 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1005 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1006 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1009 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1011 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1013 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1015 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1018 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1019 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1020 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1021 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1022 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1025 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1026 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1029 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1030 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1031 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1032 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1034 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1037 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1038 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1039 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1040 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1041 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1042 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1043 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1044 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1047 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1048 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1049 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1051 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1052 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1053 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1054 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1057 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1058 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1061 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1062 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1065 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1068 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1069 the content type and content length if available.
1071 Refactoring / optimizations:
1072 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1073 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1074 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1075 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1076 screen as easy to write.
1077 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1078 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1079 in parameter filtering (for example).
1080 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1081 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1082 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1083 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1084 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1087 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1088 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1089 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1090 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1092 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1095 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1096 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1098 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1101 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1102 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1104 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1107 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1108 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1109 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1110 which should not be encoded.
1111 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1112 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1114 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1115 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1116 any set of args/captures.
1118 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1119 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1121 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1125 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1127 - Various minor typo fixes.
1130 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1132 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1135 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1136 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1137 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1140 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1141 - Clarify documentation about debug
1144 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1145 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1146 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1148 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1151 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1152 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1156 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1157 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1159 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1160 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1161 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1162 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1163 argv key in the options hash.
1164 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1165 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1166 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1167 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1169 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1173 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1174 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1175 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1176 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1177 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1179 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1183 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1184 encoding test controller.
1186 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1188 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1189 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1191 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1193 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1194 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1195 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1196 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1197 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1199 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1203 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1204 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1205 less packed with information of no use.
1209 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1211 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1213 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1214 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1215 the single character '0'.
1216 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1219 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1220 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1221 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1223 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1225 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1226 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1227 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1228 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1229 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1230 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1231 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1232 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1233 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1234 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1235 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1236 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1238 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1239 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1241 Refactoring / cleanups:
1242 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1243 (and then skipped) normally.
1246 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1248 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1251 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1252 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1253 on the old behaviour.
1255 Refactoring / cleanups:
1256 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1257 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1259 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1262 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1263 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1264 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1265 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1266 as there is no recommended alternative.
1267 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1268 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1269 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1270 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1271 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1272 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1273 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1274 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1275 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1276 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1277 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1278 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1279 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1280 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1283 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1284 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1285 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1286 deprecated and causes warnings).
1287 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1288 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1289 in the correct order.
1290 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1292 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1293 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1294 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1297 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1298 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1299 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1300 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1301 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1303 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1304 exception classes need to implement.
1305 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1306 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1309 Refactoring / cleanups:
1310 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1311 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1312 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1313 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1314 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1315 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1316 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1318 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1321 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1322 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1323 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1324 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1326 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1327 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1328 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1331 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1332 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1335 Refactoring / cleanups:
1336 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1337 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1338 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1339 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1340 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1342 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1345 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1346 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1347 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1348 now loaded at most once + tests.
1349 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1350 is returned to 'actions'.
1351 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1352 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1354 Refactoring / cleanups:
1355 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1356 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1359 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1360 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1361 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1363 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1366 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1367 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1370 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1373 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1374 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1375 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1377 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1380 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1381 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1382 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1384 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1387 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1388 application class immutable without that option.
1389 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1390 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1392 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1393 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1394 (hopefully) future versions.
1395 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1396 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1397 variables (RT#48555)
1398 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1400 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1401 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1402 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1403 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1404 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1406 Refactoring / cleanups:
1407 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1408 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1409 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1410 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1411 known issues with 5.8.3.
1412 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1413 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1416 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1417 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1418 for the controller namespace
1419 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1420 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1421 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1422 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1423 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1424 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1426 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1427 frontend port (jshirley)
1428 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1432 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1433 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1434 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1435 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1438 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1441 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1442 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1443 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1445 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1446 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1447 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1448 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1449 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1450 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1454 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1455 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1456 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1459 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1462 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1463 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1465 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1466 in some environments.
1467 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1468 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1469 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1470 except works correctly with closures.
1471 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1472 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1473 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1474 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1475 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1476 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1477 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1480 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1481 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1482 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1483 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1484 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1485 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1487 Refactoring / cleanups:
1488 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1489 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1490 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1491 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1493 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1494 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1495 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1497 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1498 again in Catalyst::Test
1500 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1503 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1504 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1507 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1510 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1511 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1512 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1514 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1517 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1518 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1521 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1522 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1526 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1527 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1528 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1529 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1530 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1532 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1533 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1534 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1535 controller naming. (random)
1536 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1537 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1538 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1539 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1540 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1542 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1544 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1545 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1546 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1548 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1549 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1550 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1551 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1552 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1553 to report 'Unknown Error'
1554 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1555 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1556 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1557 parse_on_demand is on
1559 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1560 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1561 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1562 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1563 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1564 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1565 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1566 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1567 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1569 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1570 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1571 Test::Aggregate is available.
1572 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1573 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1574 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1575 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1576 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1577 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1578 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1579 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1583 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1584 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1585 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1586 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1587 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1588 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1589 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1590 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1592 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1593 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1594 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1595 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1596 configuration in your application.
1598 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1599 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1600 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1602 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1603 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1605 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1606 has been made private
1607 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1608 the request parameters with undef + test
1609 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1610 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1612 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1614 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1615 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1616 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1618 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1619 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1620 warning on recent Moose versions.
1621 - Add delta documentation
1622 - Clean up recursion errors
1623 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1624 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1626 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1627 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1629 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1630 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1631 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1632 tries to chain to itself
1634 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1635 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1636 - Tests for this (radek)
1637 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1638 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1639 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1640 - Tests for this (radek)
1641 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1642 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1643 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1644 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1646 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1647 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1649 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1651 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1652 in production versions
1653 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1654 the correct metaclass
1655 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1656 the restarter process
1657 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1658 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1660 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1661 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1662 immutable restart correctly.
1664 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1665 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1666 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1667 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1668 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1669 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1670 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

1674 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1675 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1676 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1677 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1678 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1679 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1680 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1681 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1682 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1683 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1684 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1686 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1687 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1688 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1691 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1692 - Add uri_with tests

1703 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1705 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1706 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1707 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1710 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1719 keep-alive requests.
1720 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1721 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1722 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1723 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1725 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1726 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1727 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1728 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
