1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
5 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
6 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
7 get them passed through to the application.
10 - Add '1;' to all classes which were relying on the ->make_immutable
11 call to return a true value. Due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and
12 5.10 (not present in other perl versions) require can pass the
13 context inappropriately, meaning that some methods of loading classes
14 can fail due to void context being passed throuh to make_immutable,
15 causing it to not return a value.
16 This bug is shown by trying to load Catalyst::Script::Create (for example)
17 with Module::Require and is fixed in core by commit 021f53de09926
19 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
23 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
24 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
25 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
26 whereas before you had to say:
27 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
28 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
29 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
32 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
33 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
34 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
35 scripts in the application.
36 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
37 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
38 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
43 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
45 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
46 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
47 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
48 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
49 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
50 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
51 and provide an alternative.
53 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
57 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
60 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
63 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
65 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
66 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
67 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
68 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
69 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
70 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
74 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
75 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
77 Backward compatibility fixes:
79 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
80 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
84 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
85 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
87 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
89 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
91 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
92 Backward compatibility fixes:
94 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
95 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
97 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
101 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
102 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
103 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
105 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
107 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
108 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
110 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
114 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
116 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
118 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
120 Backward compatibility fixes:
122 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
124 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
125 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
126 for backward compatibility.
130 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
131 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
135 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
136 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
137 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
139 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
141 Backward compatibility fixes:
143 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
144 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
148 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
151 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
152 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
153 example) Coro is loaded.
155 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
156 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
158 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
159 using MooseX::Deamonize
161 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
162 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
163 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
164 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
165 deployed in these environments.
169 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
173 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
174 file for your application.
176 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
180 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
181 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
183 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
186 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
187 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
189 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
191 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
192 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
194 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
195 IO::Handle's behaviour.
197 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
198 was not breaking out correctly
200 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
201 to also work in the $c->component method.
203 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
204 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
205 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
207 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
209 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
211 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
213 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
214 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
217 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
219 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
222 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
226 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
227 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
228 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
230 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
233 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
235 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
236 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
237 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
239 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
242 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
243 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
244 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
245 the new major version of Catalyst.
248 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
249 of Catalyst has been much improved.
251 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
254 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
255 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
256 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
258 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
260 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
261 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
262 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
264 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
267 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
268 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
269 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
271 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
272 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
276 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
277 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
279 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
280 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
281 developers without changing their application code.
283 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
286 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
287 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
288 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
289 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
290 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
292 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
293 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
295 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
297 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
301 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
302 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
303 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
304 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
305 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
306 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
307 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
309 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
310 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
311 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
312 class, please tell us *now*.
314 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
317 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
319 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
320 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
321 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
322 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
323 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
324 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
327 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
328 the Content-Length header appropriately)
329 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
330 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
331 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
332 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
333 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
334 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
336 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
337 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
338 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
339 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
340 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
341 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
342 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
343 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
346 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
347 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
349 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
352 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
353 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
357 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
358 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
360 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
363 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
365 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
366 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
368 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
370 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
373 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
375 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
378 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
379 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
380 load Utils before MyApp.pm
382 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
385 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
387 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
388 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
389 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
390 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
391 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
393 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
396 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
397 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
398 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
401 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
402 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
407 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
410 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
413 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
414 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
415 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
416 the default action creation.
419 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
420 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
421 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
422 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
423 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
424 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
425 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
428 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
430 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
432 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
434 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
437 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
438 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
439 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
440 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
441 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
444 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
445 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
448 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
449 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
450 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
451 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
453 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
456 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
457 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
458 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
459 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
460 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
461 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
462 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
463 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
466 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
467 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
468 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
470 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
471 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
472 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
473 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
476 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
477 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
480 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
481 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
484 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
487 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
488 the content type and content length if available.
490 Refactoring / optimizations:
491 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
492 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
493 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
494 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
495 screen as easy to write.
496 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
497 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
498 in parameter filtering (for example).
499 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
500 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
501 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
502 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
503 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
506 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
507 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
508 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
509 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
511 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
514 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
515 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
517 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
520 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
521 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
523 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
526 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
527 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
528 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
529 which should not be encoded.
530 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
531 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
533 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
534 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
535 any set of args/captures.
537 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
538 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
540 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
544 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
546 - Various minor typo fixes.
549 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
551 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
554 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
555 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
556 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
559 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
560 - Clarify documentation about debug
563 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
564 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
565 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
567 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
570 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
571 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
575 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
576 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
578 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
579 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
580 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
581 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
582 argv key in the options hash.
583 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
584 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
585 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
586 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
588 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
592 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
593 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
594 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
595 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
596 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
598 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
602 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
603 encoding test controller.
605 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
607 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
608 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
609 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
610 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
612 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
613 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
614 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
615 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
616 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
618 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
622 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
623 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
624 less packed with information of no use.
628 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
630 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
632 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
633 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
634 the single character '0'.
635 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
638 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
639 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
640 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
642 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
644 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
645 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
646 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
647 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
648 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
649 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
650 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
651 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
652 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
653 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
654 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
655 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
657 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
658 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
660 Refactoring / cleanups:
661 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
662 (and then skipped) normally.
665 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
667 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
670 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
671 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
672 on the old behaviour.
674 Refactoring / cleanups:
675 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
676 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
678 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
681 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
682 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
683 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
684 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
685 as there is no recommended alternative.
686 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
687 fallback for fully qualified component names.
688 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
689 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
690 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
691 startup, rather than with the first hit.
692 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
693 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
694 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
695 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
696 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
697 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
698 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
699 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
702 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
703 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
704 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
705 deprecated and causes warnings).
706 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
707 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
708 in the correct order.
709 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
711 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
712 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
713 is deprecated (RT#51489)
716 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
717 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
718 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
719 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
720 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
722 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
723 exception classes need to implement.
724 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
725 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
728 Refactoring / cleanups:
729 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
730 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
731 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
732 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
733 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
734 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
735 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
737 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
740 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
741 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
742 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
743 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
745 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
746 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
747 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
750 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
751 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
754 Refactoring / cleanups:
755 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
756 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
757 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
758 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
759 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
761 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
764 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
765 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
766 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
767 now loaded at most once + tests.
768 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
769 is returned to 'actions'.
770 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
771 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
773 Refactoring / cleanups:
774 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
775 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
778 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
779 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
780 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
782 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
785 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
786 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
789 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
792 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
793 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
794 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
796 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
799 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
800 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
801 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
803 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
806 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
807 application class immutable without that option.
808 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
809 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
811 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
812 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
813 (hopefully) future versions.
814 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
815 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
817 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
819 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
820 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
821 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
822 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
823 Request-URI of the Request-Line
825 Refactoring / cleanups:
826 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
827 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
828 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
829 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
830 known issues with 5.8.3.
831 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
832 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
835 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
836 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
837 for the controller namespace
838 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
839 expand_component_module (rjbs)
840 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
841 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
842 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
843 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
845 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
846 frontend port (jshirley)
847 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
851 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
852 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
853 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
854 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
857 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
860 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
861 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
862 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
864 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
865 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
866 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
867 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
868 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
869 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
873 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
874 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
875 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
878 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
881 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
882 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
884 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
885 in some environments.
886 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
887 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
888 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
889 except works correctly with closures.
890 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
891 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
892 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
894 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
895 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
896 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
899 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
900 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
901 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
902 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
903 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
904 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
906 Refactoring / cleanups:
907 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
908 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
909 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
910 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
912 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
913 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
914 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
916 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
917 again in Catalyst::Test
919 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
922 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
923 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
926 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
929 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
930 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
931 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
933 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
936 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
937 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
940 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
941 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
945 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
946 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
947 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
948 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
949 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
951 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
952 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
953 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
954 controller naming. (random)
955 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
956 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
957 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
958 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
959 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
961 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
963 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
964 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
965 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
967 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
968 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
969 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
970 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
971 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
972 to report 'Unknown Error'
973 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
974 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
975 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
976 parse_on_demand is on
978 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
979 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
980 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
981 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
982 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
983 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
984 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
985 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
986 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
988 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
989 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
990 Test::Aggregate is available.
991 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
992 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
993 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
994 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
995 disabling functionality from base controllers.
996 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version

1004 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1005 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1006 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1007 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1008 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1009 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1011 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1012 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1013 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1014 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1015 configuration in your application.
1017 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1018 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1019 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1021 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1022 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1024 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1025 has been made private
1026 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1027 the request parameters with undef + test
1028 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1029 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1031 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1033 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1034 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1035 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1037 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1038 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1039 warning on recent Moose versions.
1040 - Add delta documentation
1041 - Clean up recursion errors
1042 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1043 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1045 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1046 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1048 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1049 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1050 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1051 tries to chain to itself
1053 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1054 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1055 - Tests for this (radek)
1056 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1057 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1058 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1059 - Tests for this (radek)
1060 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1061 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1062 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1063 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1065 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1066 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1068 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1070 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1071 in production versions
1072 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1073 the correct metaclass
1074 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1075 the restarter process
1076 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1077 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1079 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1080 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1081 immutable restart correctly.
1083 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1084 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1085 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1086 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1095 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1096 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1097 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1098 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1099 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1100 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1101 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1102 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1103 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1105 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1106 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1107 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1110 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1111 - Add uri_with tests
1113 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1138 keep-alive requests.
1139 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1140 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1141 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1142 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1144 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1145 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1146 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1147 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1148 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1149 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1150 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1151 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1152 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1153 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1154 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1155 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1156 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1157 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1158 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1159 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1160 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1161 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1162 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1163 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1165 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1166 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1168 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1169 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1170 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1172 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1173 test sync for engines easier
1174 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1175 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1177 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1178 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1179 rather than the stringified ref.
1180 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1181 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1182 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1183 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1184 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1186 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1187 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1188 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1190 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1191 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1192 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1193 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1194 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1195 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1196 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
1197 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
1198 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1199 the key from the instance hash
1200 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1201 trivial delegation methods
1202 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
1203 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
