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
11 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
14 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
15 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
16 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
17 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
18 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
21 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
22 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
25 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
26 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
27 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
30 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
33 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
34 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
35 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
36 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
37 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
38 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
39 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
40 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
43 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
44 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
45 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
47 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
48 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
49 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
50 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
53 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
54 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
57 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
58 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
61 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
64 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
65 the content type and content length if available.
67 Refactoring / optimizations:
68 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
69 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
70 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
71 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
72 screen as easy to write.
73 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
74 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
75 in parameter filtering (for example).
76 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
77 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
78 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
79 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
80 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
83 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
84 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
85 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
86 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
88 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
91 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
92 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
94 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
97 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
98 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
100 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
103 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
104 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
105 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
106 which should not be encoded.
107 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
108 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
110 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
111 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
112 any set of args/captures.
114 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
115 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
117 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
121 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
123 - Various minor typo fixes.
126 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
128 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
131 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
132 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
133 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
136 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
137 - Clarify documentation about debug
140 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
141 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
142 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
144 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
147 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
148 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
152 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
153 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
155 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
156 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
157 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
158 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
159 argv key in the options hash.
160 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
161 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
162 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
163 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
165 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
169 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
170 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
171 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
172 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
173 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
175 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
179 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
180 encoding test controller.
182 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
184 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
185 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
186 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
187 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
189 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
190 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
191 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
192 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
193 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
195 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
199 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
200 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
201 less packed with information of no use.
205 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
207 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
209 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
210 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
211 the single character '0'.
212 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
215 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
216 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
217 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
219 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
221 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
222 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
223 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
224 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
225 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
226 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
227 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
228 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
229 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
230 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
231 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
232 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
234 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
235 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
237 Refactoring / cleanups:
238 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
239 (and then skipped) normally.
242 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
244 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
247 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
248 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
249 on the old behaviour.
251 Refactoring / cleanups:
252 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
253 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
255 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
258 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
259 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
260 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
261 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
262 as there is no recommended alternative.
263 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
264 fallback for fully qualified component names.
265 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
266 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
267 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
268 startup, rather than with the first hit.
269 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
270 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
271 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
272 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
273 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
274 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
275 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
276 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
279 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
280 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
281 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
282 deprecated and causes warnings).
283 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
284 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
285 in the correct order.
286 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
288 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
289 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
290 is deprecated (RT#51489)
293 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
294 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
295 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
296 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
297 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
299 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
300 exception classes need to implement.
301 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
302 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
305 Refactoring / cleanups:
306 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
307 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
308 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
309 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
310 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
311 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
312 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
314 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
317 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
318 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
319 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
320 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
322 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
323 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
324 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
327 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
328 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
331 Refactoring / cleanups:
332 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
333 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
334 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
335 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
336 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
338 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
341 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
342 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
343 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
344 now loaded at most once + tests.
345 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
346 is returned to 'actions'.
347 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
348 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
350 Refactoring / cleanups:
351 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
352 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
355 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
356 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
357 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
359 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
362 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
363 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
366 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
369 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
370 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
371 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
373 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
376 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
377 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
378 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
380 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
383 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
384 application class immutable without that option.
385 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
386 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
388 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
389 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
390 (hopefully) future versions.
391 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
392 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
394 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
396 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
397 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
398 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
399 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
400 Request-URI of the Request-Line
402 Refactoring / cleanups:
403 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
404 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
405 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
406 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
407 known issues with 5.8.3.
408 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
409 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
412 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
413 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
414 for the controller namespace
415 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
416 expand_component_module (rjbs)
417 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
418 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
419 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
420 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
422 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
423 frontend port (jshirley)
424 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
428 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
429 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
430 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
431 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
434 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
437 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
438 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
439 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
441 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
442 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
443 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
444 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
445 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
446 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
450 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
451 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
452 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
455 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
458 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
459 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
461 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
462 in some environments.
463 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
464 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
465 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
466 except works correctly with closures.
467 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
468 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
469 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
471 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
472 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
473 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
476 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
477 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
478 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
479 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
480 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
481 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
483 Refactoring / cleanups:
484 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
485 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
486 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
487 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
489 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
490 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
491 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
493 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
494 again in Catalyst::Test
496 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
499 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
500 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
503 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
506 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
507 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
508 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
510 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
513 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
514 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
517 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
518 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
522 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
523 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
524 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
525 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
526 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
528 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
529 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
530 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
531 controller naming. (random)
532 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
533 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
534 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
535 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
536 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
538 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
540 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
541 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
542 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
544 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
545 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
546 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
547 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
548 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
549 to report 'Unknown Error'
550 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
551 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
552 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
553 parse_on_demand is on
555 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
556 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
557 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
558 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
559 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
560 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
561 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
562 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
563 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
565 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
566 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
567 Test::Aggregate is available.
568 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
569 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
570 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
571 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
572 disabling functionality from base controllers.
573 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
574 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
575 incompatibility issues in some cases.
576 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
577 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
578 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
579 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
580 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
581 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
582 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
583 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
584 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
585 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
586 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
588 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
589 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
590 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
591 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
592 configuration in your application.

627 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
628 tries to chain to itself
630 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
631 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
632 - Tests for this (radek)

679 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
680 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate

683 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
684 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
