1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Remove the erroneous --detach option from Catalyst::Script::FastCGI
5 - --daemon option to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI is fixed.
6 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
8 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
9 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
10 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
12 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
16 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
17 encoding test controller.
19 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
21 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
22 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
23 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
24 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
26 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
27 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
28 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
29 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
30 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
32 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
36 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
37 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
38 less packed with information of no use.
42 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
44 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
46 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
47 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
48 the single character '0'.
49 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
52 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
53 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
54 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
56 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
58 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
59 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
60 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
61 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
62 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
63 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
64 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
65 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
66 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
67 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
68 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
69 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
71 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
72 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
74 Refactoring / cleanups:
75 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
76 (and then skipped) normally.
79 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
81 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
84 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
85 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
88 Refactoring / cleanups:
89 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
90 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
92 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
95 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
96 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
97 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
98 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
99 as there is no recommended alternative.
100 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
101 fallback for fully qualified component names.
102 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
103 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
104 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
105 startup, rather than with the first hit.
106 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
107 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
108 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
109 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
110 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
111 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
112 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
113 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
116 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
117 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
118 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
119 deprecated and causes warnings).
120 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
121 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
122 in the correct order.
123 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
125 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
126 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
127 is deprecated (RT#51489)
130 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
131 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
132 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
133 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
134 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
136 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
137 exception classes need to implement.
138 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
139 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
142 Refactoring / cleanups:
143 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
144 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
145 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
146 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
147 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
148 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
149 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
151 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
154 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
155 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
156 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
157 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
159 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
160 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
161 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
164 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
165 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
168 Refactoring / cleanups:
169 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
170 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
171 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
172 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
173 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
175 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
178 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
179 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
180 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
181 now loaded at most once + tests.
182 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
183 is returned to 'actions'.
184 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
185 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
187 Refactoring / cleanups:
188 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
189 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
192 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
193 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
194 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
196 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
199 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
200 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
203 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
206 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
207 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
208 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
210 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
213 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
214 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
215 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
217 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
220 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
221 application class immutable without that option.
222 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
223 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
225 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
226 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
227 (hopefully) future versions.
228 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
229 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
231 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
233 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
234 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
235 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
236 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
237 Request-URI of the Request-Line
239 Refactoring / cleanups:
240 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
241 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
242 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
243 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
244 known issues with 5.8.3.
245 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
246 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
249 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
250 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
251 for the controller namespace
252 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
253 expand_component_module (rjbs)
254 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
255 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
256 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
257 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
259 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
260 frontend port (jshirley)
261 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
265 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
266 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
267 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
268 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
271 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
274 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
275 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
276 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
278 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
279 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
280 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
281 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
282 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
283 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
287 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
288 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
289 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
292 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
295 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
296 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
298 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
299 in some environments.
300 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
301 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
302 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
303 except works correctly with closures.
304 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
305 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
306 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
308 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
309 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
310 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
313 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
314 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
315 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
316 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
317 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
318 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
320 Refactoring / cleanups:
321 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
322 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
323 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
324 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
326 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
327 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
328 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
330 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
331 again in Catalyst::Test
333 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
336 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
337 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
340 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
343 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
344 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
345 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
347 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
350 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
351 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
354 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
355 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
359 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
360 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
361 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
362 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
363 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
365 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
366 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
367 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
368 controller naming. (random)
369 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
370 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
371 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
372 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
373 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
375 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
377 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
378 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
379 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
381 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
382 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
383 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
384 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
385 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
386 to report 'Unknown Error'
387 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
388 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
389 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
390 parse_on_demand is on
392 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
393 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
394 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
395 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
396 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
397 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
398 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
399 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
400 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
402 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
403 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
404 Test::Aggregate is available.
405 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
406 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
407 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
408 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
409 disabling functionality from base controllers.
410 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
411 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
412 incompatibility issues in some cases.

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

505 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
506 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
507 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
508 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
509 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
510 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
511 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
512 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
513 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
514 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
515 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
516 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
517 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
519 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
520 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
521 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
524 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

553 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
554 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
555 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
556 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
558 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
559 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
560 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
561 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
562 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
563 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
564 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
565 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
566 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
567 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast

569 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
570 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
