+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.
+
+5.80032 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)
+
+5.80030 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 and log_response methods which all call
+ 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.
- Bug fixed:
+ 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
5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
Bug fixed:
- - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
+ - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
