1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix problem with from_psgi_response and streaming applications (
4 https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/168).
7 - Fix emitting warnings when REMOTE_ADDR is undefined (RT#113388)
8 - Fix $c->req->hostname empty for IPv6 clients (RT#75731)
9 - split code to log stats report into a separate log_stats method (RT#127392)
15 - use the :utf8_strict (PerlIO::utf8_strict) rather than :encoding file handle
16 layer to handle decoding uploads, as a performance boost.
17 - fix handling of decoding uploaded files. this fixes the usage of sysread
18 on :utf8 handles, and reenables the tests on all perl versions. Fixes CPAN
19 RT#125843. See also erl RT#133585.
20 - giving incorrect types to uri_for will warn to logs rather than via carp
21 - silence warning and error output from tests
24 - avoid problematic test using sysread() on :utf8 filehandles on dev perl
25 versions where this is fatal (starting with 5.29.4). see RT#125843.
28 - fix test for changes in MooseX::Getopt 0.73 (RT#127050)
31 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)
32 - ensure catalyst.pl is included with dist
33 - drop IO::Scalar prereq
34 - include optional test prereqs as develop prereqs
35 - remove unused developer prereq on Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
36 - use namespace::clean consistently rather than namespace::autoclean
37 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
38 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
39 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
40 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
41 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
42 - POD typo and syntax fixes
45 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
48 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
49 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
50 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
51 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
52 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
54 - PR154 - Few dependencies
55 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
58 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
60 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
61 - documentation improvements (ether++)
62 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
63 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
65 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
66 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
69 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
70 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
71 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
73 - Tweaked travis CI script.
76 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
77 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
78 is a 'root' controller.
79 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
80 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
81 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
82 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
86 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
87 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
88 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
91 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
94 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
95 override many core method.
96 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
97 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
98 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
99 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
100 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
101 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
102 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
103 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
104 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
107 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
108 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
109 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
110 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
111 in some configurations.
114 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
115 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
116 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
117 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
118 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
119 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
120 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
121 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
122 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
123 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
124 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
127 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
128 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
129 improve reporting details.
130 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
131 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
134 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
135 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
136 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
137 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
138 which was introduced in the last release.
139 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
142 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
143 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
145 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
146 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
147 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
148 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
149 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
150 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
153 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
154 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
157 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
158 with type constraints.
159 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
160 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
161 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
162 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
163 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
164 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
167 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
168 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
170 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
171 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
172 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
173 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
176 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
177 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
178 to define behavior better.
181 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
183 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
184 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
185 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
186 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
189 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
190 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
191 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
192 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
193 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
194 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
195 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
196 - Merged Pull Requests:
197 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
198 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
199 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
200 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
201 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
202 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
205 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
206 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
209 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
210 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
211 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
212 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
213 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
214 that has proven to work for years.)
217 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
218 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
219 even though they were actually created).
222 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
223 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
224 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
225 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
226 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
228 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
229 - Added swanky github badges.
230 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
231 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
232 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
233 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
236 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
237 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
238 raise an error when registering its actions.
239 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
240 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
241 the injection and do custom injection types.
243 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
244 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
245 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
247 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
248 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
249 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
250 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
252 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
253 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
254 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
255 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
256 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
257 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
258 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
259 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
260 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
261 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
263 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
264 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
265 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
266 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
267 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
268 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
269 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
270 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
272 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
273 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
274 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
275 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
276 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
277 stand alone classes...).
278 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
279 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
280 report any stats related issues.
281 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
282 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
283 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
284 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
285 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
286 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
287 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
289 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
290 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
291 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
292 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
294 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
295 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
296 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
297 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
298 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
299 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
302 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
303 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
304 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
305 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
306 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
307 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
308 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
309 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
310 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
311 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
312 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
313 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
316 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
317 trying to create parameters twice.
318 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
319 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
320 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
321 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
322 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
323 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
324 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
325 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
326 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
327 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
328 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
331 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
332 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
333 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
334 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
335 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
336 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
339 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
340 to prevent it happening again.
343 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
344 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
345 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
346 test case to prevent regressions.
349 - Minor documentation corrections
350 - Make the '79 development series stable
352 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
353 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
354 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
355 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
356 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
358 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
359 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
360 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
361 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
362 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
363 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
364 changes introduced in v5.90080.
366 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
367 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
368 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
369 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
370 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
371 note posted a few months ago.
372 - Added my name to the contributors list
374 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
375 - Merged changes from 5.90078
376 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
377 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
378 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
379 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
380 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
381 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
382 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
383 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
384 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
385 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
386 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
388 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
389 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
390 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
392 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
393 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
394 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
395 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
396 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
397 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
398 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
399 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
400 has already been called (and headers already sent).
401 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
402 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
404 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
405 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
406 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
408 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
409 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
412 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
413 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
414 existing Plack conventions.
415 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
416 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
417 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
418 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
419 don't bubble back up to the main application.
420 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
421 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
422 I highly suggest you test this release.
423 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
424 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
425 correct if incorrect :)
426 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
427 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
428 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
429 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
430 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
431 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
432 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
433 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
434 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
436 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
437 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
438 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
440 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
441 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
442 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
443 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
447 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
449 - updated year in copyright notices
452 - POD corrections (sergey++)
453 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
454 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
455 trouble. (davewood++);
456 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
457 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
458 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
461 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
462 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
463 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
464 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
465 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
468 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
469 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
470 HTTP Exception middleware.
473 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
474 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
475 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
476 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
477 you really need to review this exploit.
480 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
483 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
484 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
485 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
486 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
488 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
491 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
492 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
493 so you can go to hunt it out.
496 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
497 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
498 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
499 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
500 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
501 - Added Italian translation of default error.
504 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
507 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
508 certain tests. No other changes.
511 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
512 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
513 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
515 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
517 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
519 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
523 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
524 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
525 questions or problems!
526 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
527 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
528 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
529 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
530 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
531 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
532 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
533 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
534 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
537 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
538 - documentation and test fixes
541 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
542 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
543 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
544 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
545 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
546 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
547 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
550 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
551 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
554 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
555 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
556 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
557 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
558 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
559 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
560 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
561 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
563 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
566 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
567 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
570 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
571 introduced by a change in December.
574 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
577 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
578 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
579 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
580 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
581 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
584 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
585 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
586 reported while installing.
587 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
588 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
589 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
590 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
591 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
592 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
593 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
594 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
595 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
596 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
597 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
598 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
599 - update copyright notices.
601 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
602 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
603 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
604 fails to install (sorry).
605 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
606 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
607 middleware deal with it.
609 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
610 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
611 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
612 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
613 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
614 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
615 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
616 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
617 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
619 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
620 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
621 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
622 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
623 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
624 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
625 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
626 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
627 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
628 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
630 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
631 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
632 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
633 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
637 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
638 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
639 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
640 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
641 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
642 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
646 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
647 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
648 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
650 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
651 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
652 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
654 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
655 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
656 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
657 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
659 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
660 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
661 - Various POD formatting fixed.
662 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
663 accept and issues that might arise.
666 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
667 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
670 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
671 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
672 for internal methods:
674 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
675 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
676 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
678 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
679 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
680 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
681 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
683 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
684 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
685 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
687 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
688 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
689 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
690 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
691 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
693 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
694 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
695 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
696 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
697 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
698 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
699 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
700 cases to reflect this change.
702 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
703 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
704 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
705 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
706 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
707 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
708 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
709 those keys already exist). Keys added:
710 - plack.request.query
712 - plack.request.merged
713 - plack.request.http.body
714 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
715 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
716 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
717 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
718 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
719 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
720 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
721 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
722 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
723 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
724 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
725 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
726 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
727 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
728 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
729 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
730 is a scalar or arrayref.
731 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
732 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
734 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
735 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
736 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
738 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
739 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
740 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
741 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
742 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
743 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
744 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
745 a development setup (ether++)
747 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
748 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
749 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
750 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
751 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
752 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
753 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
754 case t/data_handler.t
756 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
757 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
758 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
759 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
760 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
763 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
764 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
765 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
766 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
768 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
770 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
774 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
775 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
776 this fixes all of them.
777 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
778 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
779 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
780 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
782 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
785 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
786 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
787 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
788 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
789 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
790 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
791 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
793 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
794 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
795 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
796 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
797 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
798 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
800 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
801 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
802 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
803 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
804 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
805 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
806 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
807 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
809 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
812 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
813 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
814 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
815 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
816 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
817 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
819 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
820 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
821 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
822 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
823 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
824 - smarter validation around action attributes.
827 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
828 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
829 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
830 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
831 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
832 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
833 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
834 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
835 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
836 in behavior is compatible on its own.
837 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
838 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
839 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
840 - Some test and documentation improvements
842 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
843 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
844 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
845 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
848 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
849 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
852 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
853 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
855 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
856 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
858 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
860 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
861 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
863 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
865 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
866 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
867 of request or response classes.
869 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
870 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
871 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
872 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
873 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
874 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
875 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
876 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
877 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
878 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
880 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
881 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
882 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
883 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
884 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
886 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
888 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
889 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
891 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
893 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
894 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
895 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
898 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
901 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
904 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
905 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
907 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
910 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
913 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
915 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
917 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
919 Distribution META.yml changes:
920 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
921 mis-parses from the documentation.
922 - x_authority key added.
925 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
926 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
928 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
929 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
930 is less than helpful.
932 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
933 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
934 in bleadperl. RT#76437
936 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
937 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
940 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
941 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
943 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
944 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
945 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
947 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
950 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
951 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
952 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
953 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
954 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
955 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
957 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
959 - --background option for the server script now only closes
960 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
961 and other loggers which open a file handle when
962 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
963 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
964 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
967 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
970 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
971 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
972 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
973 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
975 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
978 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
981 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
982 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
983 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
984 included when not running from a checkout.
986 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
988 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
989 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
990 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
992 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
994 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
996 New features and refactoring:
997 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
998 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
999 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
1001 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
1002 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
1003 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
1006 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
1007 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
1008 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
1010 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
1012 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
1013 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
1014 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
1015 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
1016 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
1017 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
1019 Back compatibility fixes:
1020 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
1021 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
1022 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
1025 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1028 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1029 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1030 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1032 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1033 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1034 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1036 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1039 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1040 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1041 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1042 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1043 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1046 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1047 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1049 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1050 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1051 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1053 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1056 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1057 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1058 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1059 get them passed through to the application.
1062 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1063 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1064 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1065 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1068 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1069 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1070 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1071 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1073 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1074 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1075 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1077 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1078 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1080 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1084 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1085 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1086 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1087 whereas before you had to say:
1088 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1089 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1090 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1093 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1094 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1095 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1096 scripts in the application.
1097 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1098 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1099 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1104 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1106 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1107 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1108 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1109 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1110 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1111 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1112 and provide an alternative.
1114 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1118 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1119 MyApp->engine_class.
1121 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1124 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1126 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1127 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1128 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1129 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1130 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1131 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1135 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1136 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1138 Backward compatibility fixes:
1140 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1141 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1143 Documentation fixes:
1145 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1146 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1148 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1150 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1152 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1153 Backward compatibility fixes:
1155 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1156 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1158 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1160 Documentation fixes:
1162 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1163 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1164 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1166 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1168 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1169 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1171 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1173 Cut another release.
1175 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1177 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1179 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1181 Backward compatibility fixes:
1183 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1185 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1186 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1187 for backward compatibility.
1191 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1192 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1196 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1197 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1198 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1200 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1202 Backward compatibility fixes:
1204 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1205 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1209 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1210 been made immutable.
1212 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1213 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1214 example) Coro is loaded.
1216 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1217 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1219 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1220 using MooseX::Deamonize
1222 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1223 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1224 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1225 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1226 deployed in these environments.
1230 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1234 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1235 file for your application.
1237 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1241 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1242 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1244 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1247 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1248 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1250 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1252 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1253 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1255 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1256 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1258 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1259 was not breaking out correctly
1261 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1262 to also work in the $c->component method.
1264 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1265 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1266 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1268 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1270 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1272 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1274 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1275 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1278 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1280 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1283 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1284 not being installed.
1287 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1288 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1289 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1291 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1294 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1296 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1297 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1298 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1300 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1303 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1304 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1305 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1306 the new major version of Catalyst.
1309 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1310 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1312 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1315 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1316 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1317 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1319 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1321 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1322 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1323 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1325 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1326 in Catalyst::execute
1328 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1329 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1330 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1332 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1333 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1337 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1338 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1340 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1341 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1342 developers without changing their application code.
1344 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1347 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1348 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1349 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1350 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1351 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1353 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1354 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1356 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1358 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1362 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1363 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1364 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1365 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1366 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1367 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1368 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1370 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1371 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1372 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1373 class, please tell us *now*.
1375 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1378 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1380 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1381 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1382 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1383 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1384 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1385 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1388 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1389 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1390 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1391 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1392 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1393 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1394 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1395 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1397 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1398 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1399 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1400 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1401 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1402 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1403 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1404 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1407 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1408 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1410 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1413 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1414 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1418 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1419 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1421 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1424 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1426 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1427 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1429 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1431 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1434 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1436 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1439 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1440 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1441 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1443 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1446 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1448 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1449 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1450 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1451 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1452 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1454 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1457 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1458 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1459 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1462 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1463 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1468 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1471 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1474 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1475 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1476 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1477 the default action creation.
1480 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1481 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1482 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1483 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1484 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1485 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1486 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1489 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1491 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1493 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1495 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1498 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1499 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1500 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1501 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1502 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1505 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1506 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1509 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1510 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1511 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1512 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1514 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1517 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1518 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1519 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1520 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1521 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1522 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1523 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1524 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1527 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1528 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1529 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1531 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1532 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1533 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1534 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1537 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1538 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1541 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1542 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1545 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1548 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1549 the content type and content length if available.
1551 Refactoring / optimizations:
1552 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1553 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1554 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1555 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1556 screen as easy to write.
1557 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1558 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1559 in parameter filtering (for example).
1560 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1561 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1562 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1563 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1564 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1567 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1568 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1569 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1570 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1572 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1575 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1576 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1578 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1581 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1582 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1584 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1587 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1588 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1589 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1590 which should not be encoded.
1591 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1592 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1594 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1595 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1596 any set of args/captures.
1598 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1599 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1601 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1605 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1607 - Various minor typo fixes.
1610 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1612 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1615 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1616 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1617 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1620 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1621 - Clarify documentation about debug
1624 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1625 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1626 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1628 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1631 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1632 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1636 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1637 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1639 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1640 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1641 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1642 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1643 argv key in the options hash.
1644 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1645 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1646 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1647 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1649 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1653 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1654 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1655 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1656 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1657 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1659 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1663 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1664 encoding test controller.
1666 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1668 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1669 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1671 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1673 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1674 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1675 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1676 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1677 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1679 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1683 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1684 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1685 less packed with information of no use.
1689 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1691 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1693 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1694 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1695 the single character '0'.
1696 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1699 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1700 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1701 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1703 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1705 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1706 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1707 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1708 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1709 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1710 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1711 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1712 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1713 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1714 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1715 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1716 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1718 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1719 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1721 Refactoring / cleanups:
1722 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1723 (and then skipped) normally.
1726 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1728 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1731 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1732 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1733 on the old behaviour.
1735 Refactoring / cleanups:
1736 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1737 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1739 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1742 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1743 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1744 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1745 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1746 as there is no recommended alternative.
1747 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1748 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1749 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1750 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1751 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1752 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1753 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1754 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1755 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1756 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1757 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1758 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1759 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1760 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1763 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1764 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1765 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1766 deprecated and causes warnings).
1767 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1768 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1769 in the correct order.
1770 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1772 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1773 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1774 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1777 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1778 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1779 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1780 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1781 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1783 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1784 exception classes need to implement.
1785 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1786 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1789 Refactoring / cleanups:
1790 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1791 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1792 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1793 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1794 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1795 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1796 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1798 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1801 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1802 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1803 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1804 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1806 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1807 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1808 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1811 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1812 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1815 Refactoring / cleanups:
1816 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1817 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1818 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1819 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1820 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1822 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1825 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1826 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1827 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1828 now loaded at most once + tests.
1829 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1830 is returned to 'actions'.
1831 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1832 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1834 Refactoring / cleanups:
1835 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1836 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1839 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1840 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1841 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1843 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1846 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1847 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1850 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1853 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1854 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1855 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1857 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1860 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1861 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1862 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1864 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1867 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1868 application class immutable without that option.
1869 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1870 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1872 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1873 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1874 (hopefully) future versions.
1875 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1876 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1877 variables (RT#48555)
1878 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1880 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1881 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1882 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1883 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1884 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1886 Refactoring / cleanups:
1887 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1888 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1889 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1890 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1891 known issues with 5.8.3.
1892 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1893 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1896 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1897 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1898 for the controller namespace
1899 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1900 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1901 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1902 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1903 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1904 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1906 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1907 frontend port (jshirley)
1908 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1912 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1913 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1914 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1915 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1918 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1921 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1922 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1923 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1925 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1926 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1927 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1928 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1929 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1930 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1934 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1935 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1936 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1939 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1942 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1943 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1945 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1946 in some environments.
1947 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1948 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1949 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1950 except works correctly with closures.
1951 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1952 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1953 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1954 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1955 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1956 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1957 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1960 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1961 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1962 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1963 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1964 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1965 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1967 Refactoring / cleanups:
1968 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1969 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1970 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1971 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1973 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1974 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1975 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1977 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1978 again in Catalyst::Test
1980 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1983 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1984 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1987 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1990 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1991 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1992 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1994 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1997 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1998 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
2001 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
2002 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
2006 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
2007 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
2008 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
2009 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
2010 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
2012 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
2013 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
2014 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
2015 controller naming. (random)
2016 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
2017 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
2018 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
2019 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
2020 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
2022 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

2025 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
2026 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2028 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2029 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2030 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2031 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2032 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2033 to report 'Unknown Error'
2034 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2035 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2036 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2037 parse_on_demand is on
2039 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2040 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2041 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2042 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2043 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
2044 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
2045 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
2046 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2047 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2049 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2050 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2051 Test::Aggregate is available.
2052 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2053 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2054 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2055 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2056 disabling functionality from base controllers.
2057 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
2058 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2059 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2064 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
2065 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2066 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2067 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2068 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2069 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2070 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2072 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2073 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2074 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2075 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2076 configuration in your application.
2078 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2079 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2080 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2082 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2083 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2085 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2086 has been made private
2087 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2088 the request parameters with undef + test
2089 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2090 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2092 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2094 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2095 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2096 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2098 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2099 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2100 warning on recent Moose versions.
2101 - Add delta documentation
2102 - Clean up recursion errors
2103 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2104 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2106 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2107 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2109 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2110 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2111 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2112 tries to chain to itself
2114 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2115 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2116 - Tests for this (radek)
2117 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2118 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2119 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2120 - Tests for this (radek)
2121 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2122 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2123 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2124 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2126 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2127 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2129 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2131 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2132 in production versions
2133 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2134 the correct metaclass
2135 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2136 the restarter process
2137 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2138 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2140 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2141 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2142 immutable restart correctly.
2144 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2145 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2146 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2147 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
2148 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
2149 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
2150 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
2151 - namespace::clean related cleanups
2152 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
2153 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
2154 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
2155 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2156 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2157 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2158 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2159 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2160 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2161 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2162 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2163 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2164 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2166 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2167 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2168 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2171 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
2172 - Add uri_with tests

2186 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
2187 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
2190 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

2199 keep-alive requests.
2200 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2201 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2202 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2203 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2205 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2206 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2207 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2208 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2209 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2210 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2211 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
2212 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
2213 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
2214 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
2215 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2216 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2217 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2218 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2219 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2255 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
2256 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
2257 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2378 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2379 throw warnings for two reasons:
2380 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2381 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2383 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2384 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2385 method with a regex as the argument
