1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
5 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
8 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
10 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
13 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
16 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
17 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
18 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
19 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
20 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
23 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
24 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
27 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
28 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
29 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
32 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
35 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
36 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
37 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
38 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
39 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
40 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
41 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
42 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
45 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
46 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
47 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
49 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
50 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
51 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
52 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
55 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
56 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
59 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
60 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
63 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
66 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
67 the content type and content length if available.
69 Refactoring / optimizations:
70 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
71 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
72 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
73 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
74 screen as easy to write.
75 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
76 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
77 in parameter filtering (for example).
78 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
79 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
80 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
81 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
82 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
85 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
86 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
87 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
88 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
90 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
93 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
94 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
96 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
99 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
100 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
102 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
105 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
106 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
107 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
108 which should not be encoded.
109 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
110 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
112 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
113 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
114 any set of args/captures.
116 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
117 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
119 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
123 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
125 - Various minor typo fixes.
128 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
130 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
133 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
134 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
135 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
138 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
139 - Clarify documentation about debug
142 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
143 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
144 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
146 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
149 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
150 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
154 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
155 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
157 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
158 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
159 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
160 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
161 argv key in the options hash.
162 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
163 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
164 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
165 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
167 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
171 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
172 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
173 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
174 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
175 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
177 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
181 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
182 encoding test controller.
184 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
186 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
187 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
188 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
189 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
191 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
192 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
193 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
194 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
195 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
197 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
201 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
202 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
203 less packed with information of no use.
207 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
209 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
211 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
212 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
213 the single character '0'.
214 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
217 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
218 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
219 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
221 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
223 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
224 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
225 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
226 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
227 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
228 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
229 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
230 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
231 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
232 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
233 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
234 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
236 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
237 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
239 Refactoring / cleanups:
240 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
241 (and then skipped) normally.
244 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
246 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
249 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
250 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
251 on the old behaviour.
253 Refactoring / cleanups:
254 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
255 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
257 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
260 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
261 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
262 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
263 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
264 as there is no recommended alternative.
265 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
266 fallback for fully qualified component names.
267 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
268 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
269 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
270 startup, rather than with the first hit.
271 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
272 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
273 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
274 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
275 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
276 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
277 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
278 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
281 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
282 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
283 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
284 deprecated and causes warnings).
285 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
286 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
287 in the correct order.
288 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
290 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
291 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
292 is deprecated (RT#51489)
295 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
296 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
297 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
298 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
299 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
301 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
302 exception classes need to implement.
303 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
304 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
307 Refactoring / cleanups:
308 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
309 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
310 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
311 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
312 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
313 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
314 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
316 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
319 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
320 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
321 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
322 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
324 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
325 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
326 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
329 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
330 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
333 Refactoring / cleanups:
334 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
335 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
336 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
337 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
338 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
340 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
343 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
344 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
345 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
346 now loaded at most once + tests.
347 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
348 is returned to 'actions'.
349 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
350 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
352 Refactoring / cleanups:
353 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
354 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
357 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
358 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
359 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
361 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
364 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
365 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
368 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
371 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
372 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
373 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
375 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
378 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
379 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
380 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
382 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
385 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
386 application class immutable without that option.
387 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
388 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
390 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
391 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
392 (hopefully) future versions.
393 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
394 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
396 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
398 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
399 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
400 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
401 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
402 Request-URI of the Request-Line
404 Refactoring / cleanups:
405 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
406 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
407 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
408 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
409 known issues with 5.8.3.
410 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
411 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
414 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
415 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
416 for the controller namespace
417 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
418 expand_component_module (rjbs)
419 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
420 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
421 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
422 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
424 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
425 frontend port (jshirley)
426 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
430 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
431 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
432 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
433 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
436 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
439 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
440 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
441 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
443 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
444 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
445 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
446 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
447 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
448 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
452 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
453 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
454 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
457 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
460 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
461 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
463 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
464 in some environments.
465 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
466 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
467 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
468 except works correctly with closures.
469 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
470 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
471 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
473 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
474 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
475 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
478 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
479 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
480 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
481 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
482 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
483 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
485 Refactoring / cleanups:
486 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
487 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
488 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
489 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
491 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
492 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
493 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
495 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
496 again in Catalyst::Test
498 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
501 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
502 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
505 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
508 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
509 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
510 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
512 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
515 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
516 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
519 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
520 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
524 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
525 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
526 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
527 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
528 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
530 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
531 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
532 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
533 controller naming. (random)
534 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
535 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
536 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
537 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
538 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
540 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
542 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
543 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
544 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
546 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
547 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
548 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
549 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
550 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
551 to report 'Unknown Error'
552 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
553 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
554 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
555 parse_on_demand is on
557 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
558 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
559 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
560 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
561 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
562 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
563 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
564 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
565 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
567 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
568 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
569 Test::Aggregate is available.
570 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
571 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
572 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
573 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
574 disabling functionality from base controllers.
575 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
576 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
577 incompatibility issues in some cases.
578 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
579 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
580 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
581 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
582 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
583 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
584 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
585 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
586 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
587 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
588 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
590 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
591 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
592 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
593 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
594 configuration in your application.

628 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
629 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
630 tries to chain to itself
632 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
633 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
634 - Tests for this (radek)

637 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
638 - Tests for this (radek)
639 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
640 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

654 the restarter process
655 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
656 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
658 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
659 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

681 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
682 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
684 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
685 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
686 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
689 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
