4 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
5 encoding test controller.
6 - Skip test for outputting the wrong content length when a string
7 which has been utf-8 upgraded is output on Win32 as there is an
8 off by one error somewhere.
9 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
10 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
14 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
15 less packed with information of no use.
18 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
20 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
22 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
23 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
24 the single character '0'.
25 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
28 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
29 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
30 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
32 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
34 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
35 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
36 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
37 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
38 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
39 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
40 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
41 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
42 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
43 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
44 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
45 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
47 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
48 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
50 Refactoring / cleanups:
51 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
52 (and then skipped) normally.
55 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
57 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
60 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
61 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
64 Refactoring / cleanups:
65 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
66 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
68 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
71 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
72 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
73 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
74 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
75 as there is no recommended alternative.
76 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
77 fallback for fully qualified component names.
78 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
79 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
80 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
81 startup, rather than with the first hit.
82 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
83 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
84 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
85 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
86 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
87 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
88 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
89 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
92 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
93 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
94 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
95 deprecated and causes warnings).
96 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
97 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
99 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
101 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
102 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
103 is deprecated (RT#51489)
106 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
107 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
108 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
109 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
110 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
112 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
113 exception classes need to implement.
114 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
115 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
118 Refactoring / cleanups:
119 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
120 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
121 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
122 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
123 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
124 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
125 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
127 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
130 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
131 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
132 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
133 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
135 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
136 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
137 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
140 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
141 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
144 Refactoring / cleanups:
145 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
146 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
147 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
148 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
149 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
151 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
154 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
155 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
156 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
157 now loaded at most once + tests.
158 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
159 is returned to 'actions'.
160 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
161 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
163 Refactoring / cleanups:
164 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
165 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
168 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
169 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
170 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
172 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
175 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
176 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
179 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
182 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
183 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
184 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
186 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
189 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
190 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
191 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
193 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
196 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
197 application class immutable without that option.
198 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
199 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
201 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
202 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
203 (hopefully) future versions.
204 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
205 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
207 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
209 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
210 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
211 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
212 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
213 Request-URI of the Request-Line
215 Refactoring / cleanups:
216 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
217 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
218 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
219 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
220 known issues with 5.8.3.
221 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
222 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
225 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
226 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
227 for the controller namespace
228 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
229 expand_component_module (rjbs)
230 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
231 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
232 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
233 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
235 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
236 frontend port (jshirley)
237 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
241 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
242 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
243 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
244 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
247 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
250 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
251 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
252 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
254 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
255 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
256 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
257 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
258 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
259 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
263 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
264 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
265 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
268 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
271 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
272 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
274 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
275 in some environments.
276 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
277 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
278 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
279 except works correctly with closures.
280 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
281 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
282 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
284 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
285 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
286 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
289 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
290 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
291 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
292 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
293 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
294 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
296 Refactoring / cleanups:
297 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
298 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
299 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
300 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
302 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
303 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
304 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
306 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
307 again in Catalyst::Test
309 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
312 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
313 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
316 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
319 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
320 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
321 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
323 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
326 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
327 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
330 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
331 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
335 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
336 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
337 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
338 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
339 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
341 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
342 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
343 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
344 controller naming. (random)
345 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
346 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
347 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
348 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
349 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
351 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
353 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
354 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
355 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
357 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
358 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
359 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
360 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
361 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
362 to report 'Unknown Error'
363 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
364 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
365 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
366 parse_on_demand is on
368 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
369 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
370 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
371 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
372 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
373 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
374 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
375 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
376 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
378 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
379 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
380 Test::Aggregate is available.
381 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
382 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
383 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
384 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
385 disabling functionality from base controllers.
386 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
387 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
388 incompatibility issues in some cases.
389 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.

391 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
392 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
393 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
394 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
395 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
396 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
397 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
398 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
399 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
401 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
402 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
403 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
404 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
405 configuration in your application.
407 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
408 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
409 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
411 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
412 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
414 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
415 has been made private
416 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
417 the request parameters with undef + test
418 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
419 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
421 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
423 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
424 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
425 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
427 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
428 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
429 warning on recent Moose versions.
430 - Add delta documentation
431 - Clean up recursion errors
432 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
433 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
435 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
436 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
438 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
439 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
440 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
441 tries to chain to itself
443 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
444 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
445 - Tests for this (radek)
446 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
447 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
448 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
449 - Tests for this (radek)
450 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
451 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
452 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
453 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
455 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
456 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
458 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
460 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
461 in production versions
462 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
463 the correct metaclass
464 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
465 the restarter process
466 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
467 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
469 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
470 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
471 immutable restart correctly.
473 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
474 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
475 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
476 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
477 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
478 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment

480 - namespace::clean related cleanups
481 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
482 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
483 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
484 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
485 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
486 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
487 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
488 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
489 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
490 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
491 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
492 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
493 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
495 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
496 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
497 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
500 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
503 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
504 - Disallow writing to config after setup

516 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
519 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
520 - Text::SimpleTable's go as wide as $ENV{COLUMNS} (jhannah)

529 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
530 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
531 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
532 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
534 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
535 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
536 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
537 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
538 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
539 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
540 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
541 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
542 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
543 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
544 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
545 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
546 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
548 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
549 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
550 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
551 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
552 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
553 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
555 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
556 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
558 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
559 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
560 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
562 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
563 test sync for engines easier
564 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
565 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
567 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
568 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
569 rather than the stringified ref.
570 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
