1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
6 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
7 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
8 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
9 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
10 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
11 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
14 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
15 the Content-Length header appropriately)
16 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
17 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
18 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
19 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
20 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
21 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
23 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
24 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
25 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
26 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
27 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
28 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
29 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
30 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
33 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
34 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
36 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
39 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
40 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
44 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
45 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
47 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
50 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
52 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
53 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
55 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
57 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
60 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
62 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
65 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
66 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
67 load Utils before MyApp.pm
69 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
72 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
74 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
75 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
76 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
77 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
78 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
80 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
83 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
84 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
85 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
88 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
89 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
94 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
97 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
100 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
101 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
102 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
103 the default action creation.
106 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
107 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
108 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
109 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
110 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
111 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
112 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
115 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
117 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
119 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
121 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
124 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
125 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
126 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
127 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
128 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
131 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
132 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
135 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
136 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
137 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
138 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
140 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
143 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
144 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
145 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
146 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
147 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
148 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
149 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
150 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
153 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
154 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
155 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
157 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
158 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
159 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
160 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
163 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
164 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
167 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
168 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
171 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
174 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
175 the content type and content length if available.
177 Refactoring / optimizations:
178 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
179 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
180 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
181 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
182 screen as easy to write.
183 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
184 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
185 in parameter filtering (for example).
186 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
187 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
188 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
189 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
190 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
193 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
194 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
195 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
196 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
198 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
201 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
202 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
204 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
207 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
208 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
210 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
213 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
214 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
215 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
216 which should not be encoded.
217 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
218 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
220 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
221 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
222 any set of args/captures.
224 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
225 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
227 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
231 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
233 - Various minor typo fixes.
236 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
238 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
241 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
242 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
243 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
246 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
247 - Clarify documentation about debug
250 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
251 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
252 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
254 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
257 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
258 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
262 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
263 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
265 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
266 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
267 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
268 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
269 argv key in the options hash.
270 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
271 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
272 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
273 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
275 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
279 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
280 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
281 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
282 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
283 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
285 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
289 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
290 encoding test controller.
292 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
294 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
295 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
296 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
297 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
299 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
300 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
301 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
302 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
303 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
305 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
309 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
310 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
311 less packed with information of no use.
315 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
317 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
319 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
320 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
321 the single character '0'.
322 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
325 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
326 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
327 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
329 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
331 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
332 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
333 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
334 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
335 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
336 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
337 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
338 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
339 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
340 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
341 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
342 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
344 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
345 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
347 Refactoring / cleanups:
348 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
349 (and then skipped) normally.
352 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
354 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
357 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
358 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
359 on the old behaviour.
361 Refactoring / cleanups:
362 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
363 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
365 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
368 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
369 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
370 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
371 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
372 as there is no recommended alternative.
373 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
374 fallback for fully qualified component names.
375 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
376 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
377 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
378 startup, rather than with the first hit.
379 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
380 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
381 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
382 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
383 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
384 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
385 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
386 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
389 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
390 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
391 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
392 deprecated and causes warnings).
393 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
394 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
395 in the correct order.
396 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
398 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
399 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
400 is deprecated (RT#51489)
403 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
404 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
405 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
406 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
407 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
409 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
410 exception classes need to implement.
411 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
412 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
415 Refactoring / cleanups:
416 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
417 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
418 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
419 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
420 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
421 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
422 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
424 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
427 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
428 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
429 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
430 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
432 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
433 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
434 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
437 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
438 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
441 Refactoring / cleanups:
442 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
443 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
444 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
445 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
446 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
448 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
451 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
452 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
453 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
454 now loaded at most once + tests.
455 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
456 is returned to 'actions'.
457 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
458 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
460 Refactoring / cleanups:
461 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
462 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
465 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
466 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
467 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
469 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
472 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
473 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
476 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
479 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
480 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
481 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
483 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
486 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
487 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
488 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
490 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
493 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
494 application class immutable without that option.
495 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
496 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
498 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
499 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
500 (hopefully) future versions.
501 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
502 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
504 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
506 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
507 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
508 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
509 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
510 Request-URI of the Request-Line
512 Refactoring / cleanups:
513 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
514 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
515 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
516 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
517 known issues with 5.8.3.
518 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
519 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
522 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
523 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
524 for the controller namespace
525 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
526 expand_component_module (rjbs)
527 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
528 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
529 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
530 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
532 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
533 frontend port (jshirley)
534 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
538 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
539 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
540 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
541 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
544 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
547 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
548 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
549 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
551 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
552 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
553 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
554 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
555 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
556 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
560 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
561 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
562 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
565 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
568 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
569 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
571 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
572 in some environments.
573 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
574 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
575 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
576 except works correctly with closures.
577 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
578 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
579 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
581 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
582 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
583 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
586 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
587 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
588 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
589 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
590 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
591 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
593 Refactoring / cleanups:
594 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
595 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
596 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
597 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
599 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
600 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
601 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
603 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
604 again in Catalyst::Test
606 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
609 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
610 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch

658 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
659 to report 'Unknown Error'

705 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
706 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

737 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
738 tries to chain to itself
740 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
741 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
742 - Tests for this (radek)

745 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
746 - Tests for this (radek)
747 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
748 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
749 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

762 the restarter process
763 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
764 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
766 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
767 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
768 immutable restart correctly.
770 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
771 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

784 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
785 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
786 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
787 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
788 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
789 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
790 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
792 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
793 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
794 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
797 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1054 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1055 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
