1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
7 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
8 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
9 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
10 included when not running from a checkout.
12 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
14 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
15 issue where new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) cause %^H to be
16 localised, which makes the scope end hook fire (and so clean things)
17 before the end of compile time. This causes Catalyst::Controller to
18 not compile as expected, and therefore breaks installs and applications.
19 This issue only affects some perl versions, including 5.10,
20 but not including 5.8 or 5.14.
22 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
24 New features and refactoring:
25 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
26 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
27 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
29 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
30 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
31 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
34 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
35 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
36 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
38 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
40 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
41 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
42 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
43 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
44 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
45 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
47 Back compatibility fixes:
48 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
49 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
50 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
53 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
56 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
57 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
58 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
60 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
61 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
62 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
64 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
67 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
68 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
69 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
70 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
71 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
74 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
75 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
77 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
78 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
79 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
81 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
84 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
85 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
86 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
87 get them passed through to the application.
90 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
91 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
92 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
93 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
96 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
97 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
98 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
99 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
101 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
102 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
103 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
105 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
106 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
108 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
112 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
113 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
114 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
115 whereas before you had to say:
116 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
117 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
118 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
121 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
122 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
123 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
124 scripts in the application.
125 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
126 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
127 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
132 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
134 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
135 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
136 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
137 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
138 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
139 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
140 and provide an alternative.
142 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
146 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
149 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
152 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
154 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
155 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
156 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
157 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
158 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
159 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
163 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
164 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
166 Backward compatibility fixes:
168 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
169 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
173 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
174 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
176 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
178 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
180 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
181 Backward compatibility fixes:
183 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
184 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
186 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
190 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
191 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
192 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
194 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
196 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
197 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
199 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
203 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
205 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
207 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
209 Backward compatibility fixes:
211 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
213 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
214 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
215 for backward compatibility.
219 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
220 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
224 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
225 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
226 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
228 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
230 Backward compatibility fixes:
232 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
233 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
237 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
240 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
241 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
242 example) Coro is loaded.
244 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
245 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
247 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
248 using MooseX::Deamonize
250 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
251 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
252 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
253 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
254 deployed in these environments.
258 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
262 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
263 file for your application.
265 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
269 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
270 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
272 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
275 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
276 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
278 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
280 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
281 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
283 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
284 IO::Handle's behaviour.
286 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
287 was not breaking out correctly
289 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
290 to also work in the $c->component method.
292 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
293 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
294 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
296 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
298 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
300 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
302 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
303 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
306 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
308 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
311 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
315 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
316 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
317 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
319 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
322 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
324 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
325 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
326 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
328 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
331 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
332 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
333 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
334 the new major version of Catalyst.
337 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
338 of Catalyst has been much improved.
340 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
343 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
344 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
345 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
347 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
349 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
350 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
351 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
353 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
356 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
357 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
358 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
360 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
361 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
365 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
366 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
368 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
369 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
370 developers without changing their application code.
372 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
375 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
376 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
377 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
378 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
379 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
381 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
382 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
384 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
386 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
390 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
391 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
392 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
393 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
394 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
395 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
396 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
398 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
399 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
400 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
401 class, please tell us *now*.
403 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
406 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
408 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
409 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
410 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
411 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
412 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
413 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
416 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
417 the Content-Length header appropriately)
418 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
419 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
420 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
421 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
422 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
423 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
425 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
426 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
427 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
428 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
429 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
430 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
431 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
432 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
435 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
436 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
438 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
441 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
442 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
446 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
447 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
449 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
452 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
454 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
455 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
457 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
459 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
462 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
464 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
467 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
468 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
469 load Utils before MyApp.pm
471 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
474 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
476 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
477 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
478 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
479 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
480 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
482 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
485 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
486 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
487 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
490 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
491 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
496 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
499 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
502 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
503 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
504 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
505 the default action creation.
508 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
509 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
510 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
511 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
512 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
513 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
514 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
517 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
519 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
521 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
523 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
526 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
527 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
528 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
529 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
530 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
533 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
534 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
537 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
538 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
539 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
540 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
542 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
545 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
546 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
547 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
548 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
549 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
550 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
551 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
552 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
555 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
556 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
557 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
559 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
560 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
561 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
562 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
565 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
566 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
569 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
570 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
573 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
576 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
577 the content type and content length if available.
579 Refactoring / optimizations:
580 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
581 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
582 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
583 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
584 screen as easy to write.
585 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
586 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
587 in parameter filtering (for example).
588 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
589 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
590 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
591 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
592 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
595 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
596 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
597 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
598 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
600 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
603 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
604 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
606 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
609 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
610 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
612 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
615 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
616 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
617 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
618 which should not be encoded.
619 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
620 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
622 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
623 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
624 any set of args/captures.
626 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
627 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
629 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
633 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
635 - Various minor typo fixes.
638 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
640 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
643 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
644 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
645 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
648 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
649 - Clarify documentation about debug
652 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
653 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
654 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
656 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
659 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
660 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
664 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
665 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
667 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
668 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
669 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
670 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
671 argv key in the options hash.
672 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
673 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
674 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
675 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
677 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
681 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
682 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
683 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
684 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
685 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
687 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
691 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
692 encoding test controller.
694 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
696 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
697 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
698 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
699 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
701 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
702 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
703 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
704 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
705 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
707 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
711 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
712 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
713 less packed with information of no use.
717 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
719 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
721 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
722 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
723 the single character '0'.
724 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
727 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
728 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
729 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
731 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
733 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
734 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
735 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
736 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
737 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
738 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
739 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
740 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
741 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
742 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
743 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
744 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
746 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
747 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
749 Refactoring / cleanups:
750 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
751 (and then skipped) normally.
754 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
756 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
759 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
760 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
761 on the old behaviour.
763 Refactoring / cleanups:
764 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
765 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
767 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
770 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
771 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
772 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
773 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
774 as there is no recommended alternative.
775 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
776 fallback for fully qualified component names.
777 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
778 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
779 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
780 startup, rather than with the first hit.
781 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
782 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
783 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
784 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
785 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
786 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
787 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
788 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
791 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
792 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
793 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
794 deprecated and causes warnings).
795 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
796 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
797 in the correct order.
798 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
800 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
801 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
802 is deprecated (RT#51489)
805 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
806 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
807 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
808 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
809 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
811 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
812 exception classes need to implement.
813 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
814 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
817 Refactoring / cleanups:
818 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
819 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
820 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
821 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
822 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
823 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
824 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
826 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
829 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
830 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
831 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
832 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
834 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
835 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
836 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
839 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
840 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
843 Refactoring / cleanups:
844 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
845 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
846 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
847 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
848 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
850 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
853 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
854 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
855 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
856 now loaded at most once + tests.
857 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
858 is returned to 'actions'.
859 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
860 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
862 Refactoring / cleanups:
863 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
864 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
867 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
868 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
869 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
871 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
874 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
875 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
878 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
881 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
882 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
883 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
885 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
888 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
889 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
890 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
892 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
895 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
896 application class immutable without that option.
897 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
898 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
900 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
901 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
902 (hopefully) future versions.
903 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
904 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
906 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
908 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
909 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
910 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
911 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
912 Request-URI of the Request-Line
914 Refactoring / cleanups:
915 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
916 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
917 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
918 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
919 known issues with 5.8.3.
920 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
921 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
924 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
925 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
926 for the controller namespace
927 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
928 expand_component_module (rjbs)
929 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
930 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
931 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
932 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
934 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
935 frontend port (jshirley)
936 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
940 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
941 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
942 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
943 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
946 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
949 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
950 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
951 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
953 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
954 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
955 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
956 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
957 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
958 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
962 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
963 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
964 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
967 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
970 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
971 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
973 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
974 in some environments.
975 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
976 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
977 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
978 except works correctly with closures.
979 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
980 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
981 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
983 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
984 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
985 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
988 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
989 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
990 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
991 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
992 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
993 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
995 Refactoring / cleanups:
996 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
997 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
998 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
999 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1001 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1002 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1003 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1005 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1006 again in Catalyst::Test
1008 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1011 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1012 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1015 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1018 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1019 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1020 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1022 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1025 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1026 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1029 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1030 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1034 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1035 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1036 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1037 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1038 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1040 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1041 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1042 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1043 controller naming. (random)
1044 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1045 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1046 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1047 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1048 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1050 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1052 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1053 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1054 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1056 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1057 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1058 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1059 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1060 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1061 to report 'Unknown Error'
1062 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1063 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1064 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1065 parse_on_demand is on
1067 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1068 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1069 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1070 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1071 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1072 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1073 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1074 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1075 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1077 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1078 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1079 Test::Aggregate is available.
1080 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1081 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1082 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1083 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1084 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1085 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1086 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1087 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1092 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1093 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1094 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1095 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1096 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1097 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1098 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1101 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1102 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1103 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1104 configuration in your application.
1106 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1107 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1108 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1110 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1111 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1113 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1114 has been made private
1115 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1116 the request parameters with undef + test
1117 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1118 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1120 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1122 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1123 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1124 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1126 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1127 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1128 warning on recent Moose versions.
1129 - Add delta documentation
1130 - Clean up recursion errors
1131 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1132 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1134 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1135 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1137 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1138 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1139 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1140 tries to chain to itself
1142 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1143 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1144 - Tests for this (radek)
1145 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1146 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1147 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1148 - Tests for this (radek)
1149 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1150 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1151 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1152 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1154 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1155 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1157 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1159 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1160 in production versions
1161 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1162 the correct metaclass
1163 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1164 the restarter process
1165 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1166 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1168 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1169 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1170 immutable restart correctly.
1172 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1173 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1174 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1175 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1176 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1177 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1178 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1179 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1180 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1181 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1182 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1183 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1184 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1185 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1186 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1187 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1188 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1189 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1190 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1191 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1192 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1194 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1195 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1196 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1199 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1200 - Add uri_with tests
1202 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
1203 - Disallow writing to config after setup
1204 - Disallow calling setup more than once
1205 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
1207 - Several documentation typo fixes
1208 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
1209 - Improved upgrading documentation
1210 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
1211 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1213 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1214 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
