7 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
8 encoding test controller.
10 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
12 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
13 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
14 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
15 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
17 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
18 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
19 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
20 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
21 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
23 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
27 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
28 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
29 less packed with information of no use.
33 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
35 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
37 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
38 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
39 the single character '0'.
40 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
43 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
44 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
45 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
47 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
49 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
50 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
51 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
52 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
53 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
54 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
55 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
56 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
57 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
58 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
59 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
60 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
62 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
63 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
65 Refactoring / cleanups:
66 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
67 (and then skipped) normally.
70 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
72 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
75 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
76 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
79 Refactoring / cleanups:
80 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
81 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
83 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
86 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
87 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
88 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
89 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
90 as there is no recommended alternative.
91 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
92 fallback for fully qualified component names.
93 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
94 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
95 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
96 startup, rather than with the first hit.
97 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
98 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
99 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
100 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
101 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
102 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
103 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
104 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
107 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
108 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
109 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
110 deprecated and causes warnings).
111 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
112 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
113 in the correct order.
114 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
116 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
117 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
118 is deprecated (RT#51489)
121 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
122 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
123 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
124 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
125 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
127 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
128 exception classes need to implement.
129 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
130 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
133 Refactoring / cleanups:
134 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
135 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
136 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
137 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
138 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
139 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
140 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
142 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
145 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
146 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
147 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
148 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
150 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
151 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
152 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
155 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
156 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
159 Refactoring / cleanups:
160 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
161 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
162 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
163 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
164 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
166 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
169 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
170 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
171 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
172 now loaded at most once + tests.
173 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
174 is returned to 'actions'.
175 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
176 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
178 Refactoring / cleanups:
179 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
180 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
183 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
184 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
185 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
187 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
190 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
191 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
194 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
197 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
198 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
199 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
201 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
204 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
205 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
206 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
208 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
211 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
212 application class immutable without that option.
213 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
214 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
216 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
217 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
218 (hopefully) future versions.
219 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
220 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
222 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
224 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
225 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
226 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
227 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
228 Request-URI of the Request-Line
230 Refactoring / cleanups:
231 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
232 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
233 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
234 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
235 known issues with 5.8.3.
236 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
237 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
240 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
241 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
242 for the controller namespace
243 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
244 expand_component_module (rjbs)
245 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
246 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
247 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
248 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
250 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
251 frontend port (jshirley)
252 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
256 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
257 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
258 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
259 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
262 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
265 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
266 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
267 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
269 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
270 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
271 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
272 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
273 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
274 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
278 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
279 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
280 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
283 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
286 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
287 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
289 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
290 in some environments.
291 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
292 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
293 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
294 except works correctly with closures.
295 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
296 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
297 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
299 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
300 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
301 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
304 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
305 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
306 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
307 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
308 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
309 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
311 Refactoring / cleanups:
312 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
313 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
314 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
315 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
317 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
318 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
319 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
321 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
322 again in Catalyst::Test
324 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
327 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
328 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
331 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
334 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
335 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
336 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
338 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
341 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
342 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
345 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
346 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
350 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
351 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
352 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
353 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
354 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
356 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
357 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
358 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
359 controller naming. (random)
360 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
361 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
362 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
363 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
364 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
366 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
368 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
369 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
370 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
372 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
373 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
374 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
375 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
376 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
377 to report 'Unknown Error'
378 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
379 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
380 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
381 parse_on_demand is on
383 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
384 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
385 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
386 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
387 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
388 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
389 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
390 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
391 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
393 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
394 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
395 Test::Aggregate is available.
396 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
397 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
398 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
399 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
400 disabling functionality from base controllers.
401 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
402 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
403 incompatibility issues in some cases.

408 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
409 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
410 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
411 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
412 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
413 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
414 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
416 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
417 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
418 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
419 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
420 configuration in your application.
422 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
423 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
424 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
426 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
427 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
429 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
430 has been made private
431 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
432 the request parameters with undef + test
433 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
434 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
436 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
438 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
439 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
440 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
442 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
443 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
444 warning on recent Moose versions.
445 - Add delta documentation
446 - Clean up recursion errors
447 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
448 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
450 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
451 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
453 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
454 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
455 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
456 tries to chain to itself
458 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
459 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
460 - Tests for this (radek)
461 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
462 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
463 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
464 - Tests for this (radek)
465 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
466 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
467 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
468 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
470 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
471 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
473 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
475 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
476 in production versions
477 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
478 the correct metaclass
479 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
480 the restarter process
481 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
482 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
484 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
485 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
486 immutable restart correctly.
488 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
489 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
490 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
491 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
492 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
493 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
494 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
495 - namespace::clean related cleanups
496 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
497 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
498 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
499 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
500 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
501 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
502 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
503 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
504 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
505 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
506 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
507 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
508 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
510 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
511 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
512 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
515 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
518 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

544 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
545 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
546 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
547 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
549 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
550 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
551 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
552 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
553 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
554 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
555 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
556 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
557 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
558 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
559 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
560 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
561 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
563 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
564 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
565 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
566 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
567 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
568 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
570 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
