# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
+ MyApp->engine_class.
+
+5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
+
+ - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
+ in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
+ attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
+ with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
+ would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
+ whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
+ body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
+ scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
+
+ Documentation fixes:
+
+ - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
+ you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
+
+ - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
+
+ - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
+
+5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
+ Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
+ circumstances.
+ https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
+
+ Documentation fixes:
+
+ - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
+ - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
+ needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
+
+5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
+
+ Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
+ without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
+
+ Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
+
+ Cut another release.
+
+5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
+
+ See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
+
+ Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
+
+ - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
+ This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
+ for backward compatibility.
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
+ has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
+
+ Changes:
+
+ - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
+ web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
+ documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
+
+5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
+ Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
+ been made immutable.
+
+ - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
+ on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
+ example) Coro is loaded.
+
+ - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
+ the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
+
+ - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
+ using MooseX::Deamonize
+
+ - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
+ automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
+ (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
+ This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
+ deployed in these environments.
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
+ the remote request.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
+ file for your application.
+
+ - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
+ engines clarified.
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
+ use the normal request function against a local server instead.
+
+5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
+ populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
+
+ - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
+
+ - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
+ ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
+
+ - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
+ IO::Handle's behaviour.
+
+ - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
+ was not breaking out correctly
+
+ - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
+ to also work in the $c->component method.
+
+ - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
+ output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
+ as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
+ mode.
+ - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
+
+ - Change repository metadata to point at git.
+
+ - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
+
+ - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
+ test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
+ names.
+
+ - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
+
+5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
+ not being installed.
+
+ Refactoring:
+ - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
+ Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
+ Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
+
+5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
+
+ - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
+ Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
+ any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
+
+ - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
+
+ Known problems:
+ - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
+ are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
+ be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
+ the new major version of Catalyst.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
+ of Catalyst has been much improved.
+
+5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
+ $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
+ to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
+ returning true.
+ Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
+
+ - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
+ not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
+ the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
+
+ - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
+ in Catalyst::execute
+
+ - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
+ of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
+ PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
+
+ This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
+ type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
+ (e.g. /account/*)
+
+ New features:
+ - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
+ allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
+
+ This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
+ be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
+ developers without changing their application code.
+
+5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
+ a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
+ is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
+ which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
+ version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
+
+ - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
+ body (e.g. doing a redirect)
+
+5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
+
+ This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
+
+ Removed features:
+
+ - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
+ one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
+ the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
+ through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
+ Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
+ on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
+ catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
+
+ If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
+ anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
+ classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
+ class, please tell us *now*.
+
+5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
+
+ New features:
+ - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
+ title.
+ - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
+ absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
+ all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
+ things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
+ bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
+ have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
+ the Content-Length header appropriately)
+ - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
+ with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
+ maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
+ a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
+ to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
+ if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
+ failing case.
+ - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
+ versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
+ available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
+ version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
+ with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
+ Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
+ work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
+ Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
+ with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
+
+5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
+
+ New features:
+ - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
+ or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
+ confused.
+
+ Warning fixes:
+ - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
+ class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
+
+5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
+
+ - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
+ the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
+
+ - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
+
+5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
+
+5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
+ not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
+ load Utils before MyApp.pm
+
+ - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
+ application
+
+ - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
+
+ - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
+ A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
+ to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
+ debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
+ by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
+
+ - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
+ mode (RT#59738)
+
+ - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
+ in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
+ Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
+
+ Refactoring:
+ - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
+ locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix some typos
+
+ - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
+
+
+5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
+
+ New features:
+ - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
+ allow controller base classes, roles or traits
+ (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
+ the default action creation.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
+ to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
+ - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
+ are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
+ - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
+ - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
+ - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
+ point.
+ - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
+ values.
+ - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
+
+5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
+ Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
+ resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
+ compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
+ with mod_rewrite and SSI.
+
+ New features:
+ - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
+ use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
+ - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
+ and the implications of setting this to true/false in
+ Catalyst::Engine::CGI
+
+5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
+ when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
+ ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
+ - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
+ dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
+ - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
+ the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
+ - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
+
+ New features:
+ - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
+ now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
+ - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
+ HttpOnly flag
+ - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
+ will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
+ - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
+ - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
+ response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
+
+ Cleanups:
+ - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
+ full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
+ $Catalyst::VERSION.
+
+5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
+
+ New features:
+ - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
+ the content type and content length if available.
+
+ Refactoring / optimizations:
+ - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
+ log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
+ log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
+ plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
+ screen as easy to write.
+ - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
+ $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
+ in parameter filtering (for example).
+ - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
+ by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
+ - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
+ by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
+ developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
+
+ Bugs fixed:
+ - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
+ with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
+ - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
+ multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
+
+5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
+ ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
+
+5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
+
+ New features:
+ - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
+ overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
+
+5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
+ $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
+ / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
+ which should not be encoded.
+ Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
+ will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
+
+ - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
+ an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
+ any set of args/captures.
+
+ - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
+ path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
+
+ - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
+ removed.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
+ for applications.
+ - Various minor typo fixes.
+
+ New features:
+ - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
+
+5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
+ paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
+ in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
+ - Clarify documentation about debug
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
+ the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
+ You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
+
+5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
+ be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
+ MyApp::View::HTML).
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
+ - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
+ (RT#52898)
+ - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
+ requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
+ %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
+ - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
+ argv key in the options hash.
+ - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
+ Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
+ with the correct options on SIGHUP.
+ - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
+ versions >= 0.93_01
+ - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
+ versions >= 0.93_01
+
+ Cleanups:
+ - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
+ have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
+ your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
+ not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
+ about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
+
+5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
+ encoding test controller.
+
+ Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
+
+ - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
+ backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
+ than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+ - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
+ - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
+ - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
+ some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
+ the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
+ URI.
+ - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
+
+ New features:
+
+ - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
+ (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
+ less packed with information of no use.
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
+
+5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
+ prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
+ the single character '0'.
+ - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
+ - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
+ FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
+
+5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
+ upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
+ upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
+ produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
+ values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
+ - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
+ - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
+ $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
+ decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
+ tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
+ being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
+ than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
+ (RT#50082)
+ - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
+ in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
+ (and then skipped) normally.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
+
+5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
+ to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
+ on the old behaviour.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
+ are deprecated and now issue warnings.
+
+5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
+ MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
+ role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
+ - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
+ as there is no recommended alternative.
+ - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
+ fallback for fully qualified component names.
+ - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
+ - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
+ hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
+ startup, rather than with the first hit.
+ - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
+ - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
+ - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
+ valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
+ - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
+ passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
+ correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
+ correctly uri encoded to %2F.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
+ - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
+ - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
+ deprecated and causes warnings).
+ - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
+ - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
+ in the correct order.
+ - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
+ context.
+ - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
+ - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
+ is deprecated (RT#51489)
+
+ New features:
+ - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
+ switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
+ - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
+ proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
+ - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
+ distributions
+ - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
+ exception classes need to implement.
+ - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
+ Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
+ use it.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
+ - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
+ setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
+ believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
+ and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
+ why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
+ - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
+
+5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
+ Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
+ This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
+ plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
+ method.
+ - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
+ to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
+ - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
+ - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
+ warnings.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
+ using them will now generate a warning at startup.
+ - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
+ applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
+ this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
+
+5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
+ - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
+ - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
+ now loaded at most once + tests.
+ - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
+ is returned to 'actions'.
+ - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
+ decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
+ many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
+
+ Tests:
+ - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
+ run by authors to stop it being broken again.
+ - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
+
+5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
+ failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
+ installed in @INC.
+
+5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
+ Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
+ than the default chunksize of 64k again.
+
+5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
+ method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
+ This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
+
+5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
+
Bug fixes:
- Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
application class immutable without that option.
+ - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
+ in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
+ tests.
+ - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
+ IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
+ (hopefully) future versions.
+ - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
+ localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
+ variables (RT#48555)
+ - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
+ (RT#48623)
+ - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
+ body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
+ when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
+ - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
+ Request-URI of the Request-Line
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
+ new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
+ - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
+ - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
+ known issues with 5.8.3.
+ - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
+ when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
+
+ New features:
+ - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
+ - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
+ for the controller namespace
+ - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
+ expand_component_module (rjbs)
+ - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
+ correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
+ as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
+ which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
+ actions etc.
+ - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
+ frontend port (jshirley)
+ - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
+ the request.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
+ ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
+ - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
+ - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
