4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
9 - Make FastCGI compatible with modules which use the fileno call to
10 determine if a file is open (E.g. IPC::Run)
12 Refactoring / cleanups:
13 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
14 (and then skipped) normally.
17 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
19 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
22 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
23 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
26 Refactoring / cleanups:
27 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
28 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
30 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
33 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
34 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
35 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
36 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
37 as there is no recommended alternative.
38 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
39 fallback for fully qualified component names.
40 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
41 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
42 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
43 startup, rather than with the first hit.
44 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
45 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
46 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
47 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
48 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
49 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
50 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
51 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
54 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
55 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
56 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
57 deprecated and causes warnings).
58 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
59 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
61 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
63 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
64 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
65 is deprecated (RT#51489)
68 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
69 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
70 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
71 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
72 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
74 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
75 exception classes need to implement.
76 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
77 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
80 Refactoring / cleanups:
81 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
82 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
83 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
84 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
85 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
86 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
87 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
89 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
92 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
93 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
94 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
95 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
97 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
98 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
99 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
102 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
103 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
106 Refactoring / cleanups:
107 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
108 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
109 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
110 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
111 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
113 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
116 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
117 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
118 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
119 now loaded at most once + tests.
120 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
121 is returned to 'actions'.
122 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
123 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
125 Refactoring / cleanups:
126 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
127 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
130 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
131 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
132 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
134 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
137 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
138 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
141 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
144 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
145 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
146 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
148 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
151 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
152 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
153 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
155 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
158 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
159 application class immutable without that option.
160 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
161 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
163 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
164 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
165 (hopefully) future versions.
166 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
167 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
169 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
171 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
172 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
173 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
174 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
175 Request-URI of the Request-Line
177 Refactoring / cleanups:
178 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
179 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
180 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
181 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
182 known issues with 5.8.3.
183 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
184 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
187 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
188 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
189 for the controller namespace
190 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
191 expand_component_module (rjbs)
192 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
193 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
194 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
195 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
197 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
198 frontend port (jshirley)
199 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
203 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
204 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
205 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
206 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
209 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
212 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
213 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
214 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
216 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
217 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
218 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
219 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
220 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
221 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
225 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
226 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
227 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
230 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
233 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
234 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
236 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
237 in some environments.
238 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
239 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
240 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
241 except works correctly with closures.
242 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
243 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
244 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
246 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
247 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
248 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
251 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
252 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
253 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
254 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
255 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
256 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
258 Refactoring / cleanups:
259 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
260 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
261 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
262 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
264 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
265 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
266 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
268 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
269 again in Catalyst::Test
271 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
274 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
275 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
278 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
281 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
282 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
283 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
285 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
288 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
289 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
292 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
293 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
297 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
298 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
299 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
300 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
301 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
303 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
304 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
305 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
306 controller naming. (random)

308 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
309 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
310 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
311 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
313 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
315 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
316 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
317 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
319 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
320 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
321 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
322 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
323 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
324 to report 'Unknown Error'
325 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
326 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
327 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
328 parse_on_demand is on
330 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53

337 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
338 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
340 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
341 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
342 Test::Aggregate is available.
343 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
344 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
345 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

355 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
356 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
357 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
358 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
359 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
360 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
361 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
363 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
364 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
365 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
366 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
367 configuration in your application.
369 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
370 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
371 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
373 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
374 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

379 the request parameters with undef + test
380 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
381 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
383 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
385 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
386 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
387 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
389 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
390 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
391 warning on recent Moose versions.
392 - Add delta documentation
393 - Clean up recursion errors
394 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
395 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
397 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
398 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
400 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
401 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
402 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
403 tries to chain to itself
405 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
406 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
407 - Tests for this (radek)
408 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
409 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
410 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
411 - Tests for this (radek)
412 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
413 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
414 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
415 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
417 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
418 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
420 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
422 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
423 in production versions
424 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
425 the correct metaclass
426 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
427 the restarter process
428 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
429 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
431 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
432 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
433 immutable restart correctly.
435 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
436 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
437 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
438 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

449 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
450 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
451 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
452 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
453 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
454 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
455 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
457 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
458 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
459 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
462 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

494 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
496 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
497 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
498 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

510 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
511 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
512 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
513 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
514 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
515 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
517 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
518 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
520 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
521 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
522 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
524 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
525 test sync for engines easier
526 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
527 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
529 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
530 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
531 rather than the stringified ref.
532 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
533 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
534 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

544 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
545 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
546 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
547 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
548 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
549 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
550 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
551 the key from the instance hash
552 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
553 trivial delegation methods
554 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
555 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
