1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
5 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
6 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
7 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
9 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
10 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
11 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
13 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
14 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
15 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
16 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
18 - Various POD formating fixed.
21 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
22 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
25 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
26 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
29 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
30 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
31 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
33 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
34 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
35 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
36 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
38 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
39 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
40 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
42 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
43 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
44 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
45 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
46 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
48 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
49 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
50 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
51 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
52 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
53 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
54 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
55 cases to reflect this change.
57 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
58 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
59 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
60 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
61 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
62 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
63 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
64 those keys already exist). Keys added:
67 - plack.request.merged
68 - plack.request.http.body
69 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
70 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
71 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
72 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
73 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
74 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
75 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
76 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
77 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
78 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
79 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
80 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
81 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
82 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
83 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
84 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
85 is a scalar or arrayref.
86 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
87 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
89 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
90 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
91 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
93 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
94 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
95 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
96 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
97 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
98 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
99 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
100 a development setup (ether++)
102 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
103 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
104 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
105 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
106 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
107 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
108 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
109 case t/data_handler.t
111 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
112 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
113 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
114 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
115 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
118 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
119 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
120 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
121 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
123 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
125 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
129 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
130 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
131 this fixes all of them.
132 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
133 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
134 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
135 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
137 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
140 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
141 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
142 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
143 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
144 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
145 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
146 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
148 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
149 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
150 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
151 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
152 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
153 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
155 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
156 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
157 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
158 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
159 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
160 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
161 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
162 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
164 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
167 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
168 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
169 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
170 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
171 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
172 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
174 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
175 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
176 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
177 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
178 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
179 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
182 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
183 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
184 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
185 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
186 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
187 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
188 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
189 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
190 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
191 in behavior is compatible on its own.
192 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
193 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
194 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
195 - Some test and documentation improvements
197 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
198 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
199 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
200 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
203 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
204 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
207 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
208 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
210 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
211 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
213 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
215 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
216 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
218 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
220 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
221 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
222 of request or response classes.
224 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
225 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
226 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
227 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
228 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
229 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
230 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
231 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
232 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
233 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
235 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
236 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
237 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
238 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
239 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
241 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
243 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
244 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
246 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
248 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
249 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
250 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
253 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
256 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
259 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
260 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
262 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
265 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
268 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
270 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
272 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
274 Distribution META.yml changes:
275 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
276 mis-parses from the documentation.
277 - x_authority key added.
280 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
281 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
283 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
284 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
285 is less than helpful.
287 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
288 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
289 in bleadperl. RT#76437
291 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
292 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
295 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
296 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
298 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
299 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
300 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
302 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
305 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
306 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
307 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
308 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
309 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
310 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
312 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
314 - --background option for the server script now only closes
315 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
316 and other loggers which open a file handle when
317 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
318 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
319 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
322 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
325 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
326 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
327 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
328 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
330 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
333 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
336 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
337 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
338 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
339 included when not running from a checkout.
341 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
343 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
344 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
345 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
347 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
349 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
351 New features and refactoring:
352 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
353 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
354 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
356 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
357 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
358 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
361 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
362 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
363 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
365 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
367 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
368 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
369 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
370 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
371 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
372 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
374 Back compatibility fixes:
375 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
376 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
377 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
380 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
383 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
384 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
385 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
387 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
388 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
389 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
391 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
394 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
395 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
396 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
397 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
398 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
401 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
402 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
404 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
405 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
406 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
408 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
411 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
412 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
413 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
414 get them passed through to the application.
417 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
418 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
419 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
420 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
423 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
424 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
425 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
426 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
428 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
429 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
430 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
432 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
433 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
435 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
439 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
440 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
441 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
442 whereas before you had to say:
443 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
444 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
445 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
448 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
449 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
450 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
451 scripts in the application.
452 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
453 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
454 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
459 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
461 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
462 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
463 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
464 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
465 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
466 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
467 and provide an alternative.
469 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
473 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
476 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
479 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
481 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
482 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
483 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
484 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
485 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
486 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
490 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
491 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
493 Backward compatibility fixes:
495 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
496 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
500 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
501 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
503 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
505 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
507 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
508 Backward compatibility fixes:
510 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
511 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
513 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
517 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
518 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
519 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
521 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
523 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
524 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
526 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
530 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
532 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
534 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
536 Backward compatibility fixes:
538 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
540 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
541 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
542 for backward compatibility.
546 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
547 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
551 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
552 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
553 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
555 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
557 Backward compatibility fixes:
559 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
560 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
564 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
567 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
568 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
569 example) Coro is loaded.
571 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
572 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
574 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
575 using MooseX::Deamonize
577 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
578 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
579 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
580 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
581 deployed in these environments.
585 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
589 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
590 file for your application.
592 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
596 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
597 use the normal request function against a local server instead.

602 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
603 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
605 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
607 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
608 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
610 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
611 IO::Handle's behaviour.
613 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
614 was not breaking out correctly
616 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
617 to also work in the $c->component method.
619 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
620 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
621 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
623 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
625 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
627 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
629 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
630 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
633 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
635 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
638 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
642 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
643 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
644 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
646 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
649 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
651 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
652 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
653 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
655 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
658 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
659 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
660 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
661 the new major version of Catalyst.
664 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
665 of Catalyst has been much improved.
667 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
670 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
671 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
672 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
674 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
676 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
677 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
678 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
680 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
683 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
684 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
685 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
687 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
688 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
692 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
693 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
695 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
696 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
697 developers without changing their application code.
699 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
702 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
703 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
704 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
705 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
706 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
708 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
709 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
711 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
713 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
717 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
718 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
719 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
720 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
721 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
722 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
723 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
725 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
726 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
727 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
728 class, please tell us *now*.
730 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
733 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
735 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
736 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
737 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
738 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
739 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
740 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
743 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
744 the Content-Length header appropriately)
745 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
746 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
747 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
748 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
749 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
750 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
752 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
753 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
754 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
755 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
756 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
757 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
758 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
759 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
762 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
763 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
765 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
768 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
769 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
773 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
774 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
776 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
779 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
781 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
782 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
784 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
786 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
789 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
791 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
794 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
795 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
796 load Utils before MyApp.pm
798 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
801 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
803 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
804 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
805 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
806 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
807 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
809 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
812 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
813 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
814 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
817 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
818 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
823 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
826 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
829 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
830 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
831 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
832 the default action creation.
835 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
836 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
837 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
838 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
839 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
840 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
841 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
844 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
846 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
848 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
850 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
853 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
854 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
855 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
856 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
857 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
860 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
861 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
864 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
865 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
866 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
867 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
869 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
872 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
873 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
874 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
875 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
876 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
877 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
878 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
879 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
882 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
883 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
884 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
886 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
887 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
888 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
889 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
892 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
893 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
896 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
897 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
900 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
903 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
904 the content type and content length if available.
906 Refactoring / optimizations:
907 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
908 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
909 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
910 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
911 screen as easy to write.
912 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
913 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
914 in parameter filtering (for example).
915 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
916 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
917 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
918 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
919 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
922 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
923 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
924 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
925 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
927 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
930 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
931 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
933 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
936 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
937 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
939 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
942 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
943 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
944 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
945 which should not be encoded.
946 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
947 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
949 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
950 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
951 any set of args/captures.
953 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
954 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
956 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
960 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
962 - Various minor typo fixes.
965 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
967 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
970 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
971 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
972 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
975 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
976 - Clarify documentation about debug
979 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
980 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
981 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
983 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
986 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
987 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
991 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
992 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
994 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
995 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
996 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
997 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
998 argv key in the options hash.
999 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1000 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1001 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1002 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1004 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1008 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1009 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1010 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1011 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1012 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1014 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1018 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1019 encoding test controller.
1021 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1023 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1024 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1025 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1026 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1028 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1029 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1030 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1031 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1032 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1034 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1038 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1039 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1040 less packed with information of no use.
1044 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1046 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1048 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1049 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1050 the single character '0'.
1051 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1054 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1055 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1056 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1058 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1060 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1061 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1062 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1063 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1064 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1065 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1066 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1067 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1068 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1069 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1070 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1071 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1073 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1074 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1076 Refactoring / cleanups:
1077 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1078 (and then skipped) normally.
1081 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1083 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1086 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1087 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1088 on the old behaviour.
1090 Refactoring / cleanups:
1091 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1092 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1094 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1097 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1098 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1099 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1100 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1101 as there is no recommended alternative.
1102 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1103 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1104 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1105 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1106 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1107 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1108 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1109 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1110 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1111 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1112 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1113 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1114 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1115 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1118 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1119 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1120 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1121 deprecated and causes warnings).
1122 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1123 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1124 in the correct order.
1125 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1127 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1128 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1129 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1132 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1133 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1134 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1135 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1136 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1138 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1139 exception classes need to implement.
1140 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1141 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1144 Refactoring / cleanups:
1145 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1146 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1147 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1148 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1149 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1150 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1151 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1153 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1156 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1157 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1158 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1159 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1161 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1162 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1163 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1166 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1167 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1170 Refactoring / cleanups:
1171 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1172 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1173 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1174 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1175 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1177 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1180 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1181 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1182 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1183 now loaded at most once + tests.
1184 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1185 is returned to 'actions'.
1186 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1187 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1189 Refactoring / cleanups:
1190 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1191 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1194 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1195 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1196 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1198 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1201 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1202 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1205 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1208 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1209 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1210 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1212 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1215 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1216 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1217 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1219 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1222 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1223 application class immutable without that option.
1224 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1225 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1227 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1228 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1229 (hopefully) future versions.
1230 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1231 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1232 variables (RT#48555)
1233 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1235 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1236 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1237 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1238 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1239 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1241 Refactoring / cleanups:
1242 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1243 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1244 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1245 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1246 known issues with 5.8.3.
1247 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1248 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1251 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1252 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1253 for the controller namespace
1254 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1255 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1256 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1257 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1258 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1259 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1261 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1262 frontend port (jshirley)
1263 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1267 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1268 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1269 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1270 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1273 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1276 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1277 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1278 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1280 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1281 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1282 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1283 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1284 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1285 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1289 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1290 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1291 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1294 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1297 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1298 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1300 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1301 in some environments.
1302 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1303 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1304 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1305 except works correctly with closures.
1306 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1307 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1308 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1309 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1310 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1311 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1312 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1315 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1316 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1317 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1318 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1319 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1320 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1322 Refactoring / cleanups:
1323 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1324 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1325 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1326 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1328 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1329 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1330 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1332 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1333 again in Catalyst::Test
1335 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1338 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1339 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1342 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1345 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1346 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1347 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1349 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1352 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1353 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1356 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1357 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1361 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1362 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1363 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1364 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1365 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1367 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1368 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1369 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1370 controller naming. (random)
1371 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1372 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1373 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1381 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1383 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1384 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1385 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1386 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1387 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1388 to report 'Unknown Error'
1389 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1390 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1391 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1392 parse_on_demand is on
1394 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1395 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1396 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1397 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1398 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1401 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1402 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1404 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1405 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1406 Test::Aggregate is available.
1407 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1408 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1409 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1410 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1411 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1421 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1422 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1423 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1424 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1425 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1428 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1429 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1430 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1431 configuration in your application.
1433 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1434 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1464 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1465 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1466 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1467 tries to chain to itself
1469 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1470 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1471 - Tests for this (radek)
1472 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1473 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1474 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1475 - Tests for this (radek)

1486 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1487 in production versions
1488 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1489 the correct metaclass
1490 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1491 the restarter process
1492 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1493 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1495 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1496 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1497 immutable restart correctly.
1499 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1500 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1516 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1517 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1518 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1519 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1521 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1522 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1561 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1562 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1576 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1577 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1578 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1579 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1581 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1582 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1584 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1585 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1733 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1734 throw warnings for two reasons:
1735 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1736 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1738 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1739 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1740 method with a regex as the argument
