3 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
6 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
7 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
9 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
11 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
12 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
14 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
15 IO::Handle's behaviour.
17 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
18 was not breaking out correctly
20 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
21 to also work in the $c->component method.
23 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
24 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
25 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
27 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
29 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
31 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
33 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
34 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
37 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
39 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
42 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
43 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
44 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
46 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
48 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
49 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
50 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
52 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
55 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
56 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
57 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
59 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
60 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
64 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
65 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
67 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
68 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
69 developers without changing their application code.
71 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
74 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
75 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
76 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
77 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
78 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
80 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
81 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
83 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
86 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
88 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
89 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
90 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
91 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
92 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
93 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
96 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
97 the Content-Length header appropriately)
98 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
99 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
100 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
101 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
102 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
103 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
105 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
106 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
107 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
108 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
109 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
110 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
111 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
112 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
115 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
116 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
118 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
121 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
122 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
126 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
127 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
129 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
132 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
134 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
135 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
137 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
139 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
142 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
144 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
147 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
148 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
149 load Utils before MyApp.pm
151 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
154 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
156 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
157 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
158 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
159 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
160 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
162 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
165 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
166 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
167 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
170 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
171 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
176 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
179 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
182 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
183 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
184 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
185 the default action creation.
188 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
189 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
190 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
191 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
192 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
193 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
194 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
197 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
199 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
201 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
203 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
206 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
207 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
208 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
209 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
210 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
213 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
214 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
217 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
218 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
219 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
220 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
222 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
225 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
226 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
227 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
228 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
229 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
230 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
231 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
232 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
235 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
236 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
237 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
239 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
240 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
241 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
242 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
245 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
246 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
249 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
250 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
253 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
256 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
257 the content type and content length if available.
259 Refactoring / optimizations:
260 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
261 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
262 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
263 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
264 screen as easy to write.
265 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
266 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
267 in parameter filtering (for example).
268 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
269 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
270 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
271 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
272 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
275 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
276 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
277 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
278 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
280 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
283 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
284 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
286 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
289 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
290 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
292 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
295 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
296 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
297 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
298 which should not be encoded.
299 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
300 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
302 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
303 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
304 any set of args/captures.
306 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
307 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
309 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
313 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
315 - Various minor typo fixes.
318 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
320 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
323 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
324 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
325 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
328 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
329 - Clarify documentation about debug
332 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
333 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
334 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
336 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
339 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
340 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
344 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
345 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
347 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
348 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
349 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
350 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
351 argv key in the options hash.
352 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
353 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
354 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
355 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
357 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
361 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
362 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
363 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
364 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
365 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
367 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
371 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
372 encoding test controller.
374 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
376 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
377 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
378 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
379 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
381 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
382 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
383 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
384 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
385 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
387 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
391 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
392 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
393 less packed with information of no use.
397 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
399 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
401 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
402 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
403 the single character '0'.
404 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
407 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
408 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
409 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
411 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
413 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
414 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
415 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
416 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
417 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
418 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
419 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
420 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
421 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
422 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
423 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
424 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
426 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
427 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
429 Refactoring / cleanups:
430 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
431 (and then skipped) normally.
434 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
436 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
439 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
440 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
441 on the old behaviour.
443 Refactoring / cleanups:
444 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
445 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
447 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
450 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
451 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
452 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
453 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
454 as there is no recommended alternative.
455 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
456 fallback for fully qualified component names.
457 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
458 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
459 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
460 startup, rather than with the first hit.
461 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
462 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
463 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
464 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
465 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
466 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
467 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
468 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
471 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
472 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
473 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
474 deprecated and causes warnings).
475 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
476 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
477 in the correct order.
478 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
480 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
481 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
482 is deprecated (RT#51489)
485 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
486 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
487 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
488 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
489 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
491 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
492 exception classes need to implement.
493 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
494 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
497 Refactoring / cleanups:
498 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
499 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
500 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
501 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
502 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
503 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
504 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
506 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
509 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
510 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
511 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
512 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
514 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
515 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
516 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
519 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
520 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
523 Refactoring / cleanups:
524 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
525 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
526 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
527 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
528 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
530 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
533 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
534 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
535 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
536 now loaded at most once + tests.
537 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
538 is returned to 'actions'.
539 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
540 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
542 Refactoring / cleanups:
543 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
544 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
547 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
548 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
549 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
551 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
554 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
555 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
558 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
561 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
562 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
563 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
565 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
568 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
569 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
570 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
572 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
575 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
576 application class immutable without that option.
577 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
578 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
580 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
581 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
582 (hopefully) future versions.
583 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
584 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
586 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
588 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
589 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
590 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
591 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
592 Request-URI of the Request-Line
594 Refactoring / cleanups:
595 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
596 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
597 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
598 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
599 known issues with 5.8.3.
600 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
601 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
604 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
605 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
606 for the controller namespace
607 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
608 expand_component_module (rjbs)
609 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
610 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
611 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
612 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
614 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
615 frontend port (jshirley)
616 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
620 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
621 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
622 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
623 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
626 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34

633 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
634 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
635 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
636 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
637 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
638 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
642 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
643 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
644 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
647 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
650 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
651 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
653 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
654 in some environments.
655 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
656 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
657 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
658 except works correctly with closures.
659 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
660 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
661 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
663 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
664 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
665 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
668 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
669 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
670 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
671 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
672 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
673 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
675 Refactoring / cleanups:
676 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
677 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
678 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
679 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
681 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
682 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
683 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
685 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
686 again in Catalyst::Test
688 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

702 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
705 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
706 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
709 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
710 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
714 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

718 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
720 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

738 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
739 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
740 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
741 to report 'Unknown Error'
742 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
743 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
744 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

774 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
775 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
776 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
777 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
778 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
780 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
781 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
782 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

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

812 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
814 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
815 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
817 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
818 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
819 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
820 tries to chain to itself
822 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
823 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
824 - Tests for this (radek)
825 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
826 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
827 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
828 - Tests for this (radek)
829 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
830 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

837 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
839 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
840 in production versions
841 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
842 the correct metaclass
843 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
844 the restarter process
845 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
846 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
848 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
849 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
850 immutable restart correctly.
852 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
853 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
854 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
855 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

868 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
869 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
870 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
871 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
872 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
874 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
875 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
876 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

928 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
929 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
930 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

932 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
934 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
935 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
937 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
938 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

942 test sync for engines easier
943 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
944 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
946 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
947 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher

959 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
960 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
961 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
962 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
963 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
964 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
965 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

967 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
968 the key from the instance hash

1086 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1087 throw warnings for two reasons:
1088 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1089 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1091 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1092 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1093 method with a regex as the argument

1131 (Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, Masahiro Nagano)
1132 - Fixed a bug where -rr (restart regex) command line option could cause
1133 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1135 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1136 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1137 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
1138 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
1139 if the server restarted or notified of an error (Sebastian Willert)
1140 - Return child PID from the HTTP engine when run with the 'background' option.
