1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
5 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
9 - Remove the erroneous --detach option from Catalyst::Script::FastCGI
10 - --daemon option to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI is fixed.
11 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
13 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
14 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
15 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
17 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
21 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
22 encoding test controller.
24 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
26 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
27 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
28 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
29 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
31 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
32 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
33 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
34 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
35 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
37 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
41 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
42 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
43 less packed with information of no use.
47 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
49 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
51 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
52 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
53 the single character '0'.
54 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
57 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
58 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
59 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
61 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
63 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
64 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
65 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
66 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
67 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
68 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
69 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
70 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
71 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
72 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
73 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
74 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
76 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
77 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
79 Refactoring / cleanups:
80 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
81 (and then skipped) normally.
84 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
86 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
89 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
90 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
93 Refactoring / cleanups:
94 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
95 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
97 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
100 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
101 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
102 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
103 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
104 as there is no recommended alternative.
105 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
106 fallback for fully qualified component names.
107 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
108 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
109 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
110 startup, rather than with the first hit.
111 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
112 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
113 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
114 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
115 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
116 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
117 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
118 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
121 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
122 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
123 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
124 deprecated and causes warnings).
125 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
126 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
127 in the correct order.
128 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
130 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
131 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
132 is deprecated (RT#51489)
135 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
136 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
137 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
138 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
139 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
141 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
142 exception classes need to implement.
143 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
144 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
147 Refactoring / cleanups:
148 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
149 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
150 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
151 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
152 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
153 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
154 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
156 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
159 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
160 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
161 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
162 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
164 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
165 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
166 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
169 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
170 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
173 Refactoring / cleanups:
174 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
175 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
176 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
177 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
178 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
180 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
183 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
184 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
185 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
186 now loaded at most once + tests.
187 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
188 is returned to 'actions'.
189 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
190 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
192 Refactoring / cleanups:
193 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
194 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
197 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
198 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
199 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
201 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
204 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
205 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
208 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
211 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
212 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
213 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
215 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
218 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
219 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
220 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
222 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
225 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
226 application class immutable without that option.
227 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
228 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
230 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
231 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
232 (hopefully) future versions.
233 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
234 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
236 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
238 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
239 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
240 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
241 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
242 Request-URI of the Request-Line
244 Refactoring / cleanups:
245 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
246 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
247 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
248 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
249 known issues with 5.8.3.
250 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
251 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
254 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
255 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
256 for the controller namespace
257 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
258 expand_component_module (rjbs)
259 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
260 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
261 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
262 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
264 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
265 frontend port (jshirley)
266 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
270 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
271 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
272 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
273 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
276 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
279 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
280 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
281 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
283 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
284 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
285 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
286 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
287 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
288 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
292 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
293 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
294 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
297 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
300 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
301 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
303 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
304 in some environments.
305 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
306 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
307 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
308 except works correctly with closures.
309 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
310 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
311 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
313 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
314 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
315 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
318 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
319 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
320 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
321 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
322 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
323 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
325 Refactoring / cleanups:
326 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
327 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
328 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
329 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
331 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
332 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
333 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
335 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
336 again in Catalyst::Test
338 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
341 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
342 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
345 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
348 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
349 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
350 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
352 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
355 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
356 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
359 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
360 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
364 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
365 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
366 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
367 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
368 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
370 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
371 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
372 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
373 controller naming. (random)
374 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
375 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
376 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
377 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
378 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
380 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
382 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
383 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
384 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
386 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
387 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
388 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
389 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
390 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
391 to report 'Unknown Error'
392 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
393 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
394 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
395 parse_on_demand is on
397 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
398 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
399 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
400 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
401 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
402 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
403 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
404 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
405 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
407 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
408 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
409 Test::Aggregate is available.
410 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
411 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
412 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
413 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
414 disabling functionality from base controllers.
415 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
416 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
417 incompatibility issues in some cases.

421 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
422 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
423 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
424 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
425 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
426 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
427 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
428 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
430 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
431 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
432 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
433 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
434 configuration in your application.
436 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
437 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
438 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
440 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
441 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
443 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
444 has been made private
445 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
446 the request parameters with undef + test
447 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
448 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
450 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
452 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
453 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
454 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
456 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
457 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
458 warning on recent Moose versions.
459 - Add delta documentation
460 - Clean up recursion errors
461 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
462 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
464 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
465 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
467 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
468 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
469 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
470 tries to chain to itself
472 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
473 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
474 - Tests for this (radek)
475 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
476 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
477 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
478 - Tests for this (radek)
479 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
480 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
481 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
482 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
484 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
485 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
487 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
489 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
490 in production versions
491 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
492 the correct metaclass
493 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
494 the restarter process
495 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
496 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
498 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
499 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
500 immutable restart correctly.
502 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
503 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
504 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
505 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
506 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
507 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
508 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
509 - namespace::clean related cleanups
510 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
511 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
512 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
513 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
514 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
515 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
516 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
517 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
518 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
519 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
520 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
521 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
522 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
524 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
525 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
526 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
529 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
532 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

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