12 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
14 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
16 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
17 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
18 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
21 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
24 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.

36 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
38 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
40 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
42 Distribution META.yml changes:
43 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
44 mis-parses from the documentation.
45 - x_authority key added.
48 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
49 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
51 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
52 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
55 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
56 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
57 in bleadperl. RT#76437
59 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
60 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
63 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
64 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
66 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
67 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
68 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
70 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
73 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
74 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
75 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
76 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
77 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
78 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
80 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
82 - --background option for the server script now only closes
83 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
84 and other loggers which open a file handle when
85 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
86 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
87 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
90 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
93 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
94 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
95 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
96 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
98 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
101 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
104 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
105 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
106 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
107 included when not running from a checkout.
109 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
111 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
112 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
113 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
115 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
117 New features and refactoring:
118 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
119 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
120 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
122 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
123 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
124 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
127 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
128 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
129 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
131 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
133 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
134 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
135 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
136 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
137 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
138 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
140 Back compatibility fixes:
141 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
142 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
143 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
146 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
149 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
150 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
151 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
153 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
154 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
155 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
157 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
160 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
161 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
162 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
163 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
164 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
167 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
168 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
170 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
171 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
172 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
174 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
177 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
178 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
179 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
180 get them passed through to the application.
183 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
184 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
185 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
186 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
189 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
190 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
191 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
192 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
194 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
195 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
196 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
198 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
199 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
201 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
205 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
206 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
207 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
208 whereas before you had to say:
209 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
210 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
211 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
214 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
215 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
216 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
217 scripts in the application.
218 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
219 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
220 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
225 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
227 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
228 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
229 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
230 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
231 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
232 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
233 and provide an alternative.
235 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
239 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
242 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
245 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
247 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
248 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
249 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
250 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
251 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
252 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
256 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
257 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
259 Backward compatibility fixes:
261 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
262 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
266 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
267 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
269 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
271 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
273 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
274 Backward compatibility fixes:
276 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
277 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
279 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
283 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
284 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
285 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
287 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
289 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
290 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
292 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
296 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
298 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
300 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
302 Backward compatibility fixes:
304 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
306 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
307 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
308 for backward compatibility.
312 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
313 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
317 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
318 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
319 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
321 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
323 Backward compatibility fixes:
325 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
326 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
330 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
333 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
334 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
335 example) Coro is loaded.
337 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
338 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
340 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
341 using MooseX::Deamonize
343 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
344 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
345 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
346 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
347 deployed in these environments.
351 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
355 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
356 file for your application.
358 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
362 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
363 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
365 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
368 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
369 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
371 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
373 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
374 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
376 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
377 IO::Handle's behaviour.
379 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
380 was not breaking out correctly
382 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
383 to also work in the $c->component method.
385 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
386 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
387 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
389 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
391 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
393 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
395 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
396 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
399 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
401 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
404 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
408 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
409 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
410 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
412 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
415 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
417 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
418 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
419 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
421 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
424 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
425 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
426 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
427 the new major version of Catalyst.
430 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
431 of Catalyst has been much improved.
433 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
436 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
437 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
438 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
440 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
442 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
443 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
444 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
446 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
449 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
450 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
451 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
453 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
454 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
458 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
459 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
461 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
462 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
463 developers without changing their application code.
465 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
468 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
469 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
470 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
471 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
472 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
474 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
475 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
477 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
479 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
483 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
484 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
485 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
486 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
487 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
488 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
489 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
491 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
492 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
493 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
494 class, please tell us *now*.
496 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
499 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
501 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
502 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
503 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
504 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
505 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
506 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
509 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
510 the Content-Length header appropriately)
511 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
512 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
513 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
514 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
515 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
516 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
518 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
519 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
520 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
521 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
522 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
523 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
524 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
525 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
528 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
529 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
531 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
534 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
535 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
539 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
540 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
542 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
545 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
547 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
548 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
550 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
552 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
555 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
557 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
560 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
561 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
562 load Utils before MyApp.pm
564 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
567 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
569 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
570 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
571 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
572 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
573 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
575 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
578 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
579 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
580 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
583 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
584 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
589 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
592 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
595 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
596 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
597 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
598 the default action creation.
601 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
602 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
603 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
604 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
605 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
606 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
607 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
610 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
612 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
614 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
616 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
619 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
620 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
621 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
622 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
623 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
626 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
627 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
630 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
631 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
632 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
633 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
635 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
638 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
639 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
640 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
641 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
642 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
643 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
644 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
645 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
648 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
649 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
650 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
652 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
653 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
654 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
655 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
658 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
659 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
662 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
663 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
666 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
669 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
670 the content type and content length if available.
672 Refactoring / optimizations:
673 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
674 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
675 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
676 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
677 screen as easy to write.
678 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
679 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
680 in parameter filtering (for example).
681 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
682 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
683 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
684 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
685 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
688 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
689 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
690 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
691 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
693 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
696 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
697 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
699 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
702 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
703 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
705 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
708 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
709 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
710 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
711 which should not be encoded.
712 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
713 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
715 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
716 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
717 any set of args/captures.
719 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
720 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
722 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
726 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
728 - Various minor typo fixes.
731 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
733 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
736 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
737 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
738 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
741 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
742 - Clarify documentation about debug
745 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
746 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
747 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
749 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
752 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
753 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
757 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
758 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
760 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
761 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
762 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
763 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
764 argv key in the options hash.
765 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
766 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
767 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
768 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
770 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
774 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
775 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
776 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
777 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
778 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
780 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
784 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
785 encoding test controller.
787 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
789 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
790 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
791 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
792 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
794 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
795 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
796 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
797 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
798 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
800 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
804 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
805 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
806 less packed with information of no use.
810 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
812 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
814 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
815 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
816 the single character '0'.
817 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
820 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
821 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
822 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
824 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
826 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
827 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
828 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
829 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
830 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
831 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
832 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
833 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
834 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
835 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
836 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
837 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
839 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
840 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
842 Refactoring / cleanups:
843 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
844 (and then skipped) normally.
847 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
849 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
852 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
853 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
854 on the old behaviour.
856 Refactoring / cleanups:
857 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
858 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
860 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
863 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
864 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
865 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
866 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
867 as there is no recommended alternative.
868 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
869 fallback for fully qualified component names.
870 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
871 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
872 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
873 startup, rather than with the first hit.
874 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
875 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
876 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
877 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
878 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
879 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
880 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
881 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
884 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
885 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
886 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
887 deprecated and causes warnings).
888 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
889 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
890 in the correct order.
891 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
893 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
894 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
895 is deprecated (RT#51489)
898 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
899 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
900 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
901 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
902 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
904 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
905 exception classes need to implement.
906 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
907 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
910 Refactoring / cleanups:
911 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
912 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
913 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
914 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
915 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
916 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
917 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
919 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
922 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
923 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
924 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
925 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
927 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
928 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
929 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
932 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
933 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
936 Refactoring / cleanups:
937 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
938 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
939 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
940 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
941 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
943 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
946 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
947 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
948 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
949 now loaded at most once + tests.
950 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
951 is returned to 'actions'.
952 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
953 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
955 Refactoring / cleanups:
956 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
957 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
960 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
961 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
962 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
964 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
967 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
968 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
971 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
974 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
975 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
976 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
978 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
981 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
982 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
983 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
985 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
988 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
989 application class immutable without that option.
990 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
991 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
993 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
994 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
995 (hopefully) future versions.
996 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
997 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
999 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1001 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1002 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1003 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1004 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1005 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1007 Refactoring / cleanups:
1008 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1009 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1010 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1011 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1012 known issues with 5.8.3.
1013 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1014 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1017 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1018 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1019 for the controller namespace
1020 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1021 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1022 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1023 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1024 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1025 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1027 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1028 frontend port (jshirley)
1029 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1033 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1034 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1035 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1036 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1039 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1042 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1043 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1044 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1046 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1047 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1048 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1049 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1050 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1051 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1055 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1056 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1057 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1060 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1063 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1064 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1066 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1067 in some environments.
1068 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1069 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1070 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1071 except works correctly with closures.
1072 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1073 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1074 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1075 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1076 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1077 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1078 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1081 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1082 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1083 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1084 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1085 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1086 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1088 Refactoring / cleanups:
1089 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1090 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1091 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1092 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1094 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1095 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1096 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1098 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1099 again in Catalyst::Test
1101 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1104 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1105 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1108 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1111 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1112 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1113 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1115 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1118 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1119 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1122 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1123 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1127 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1128 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1129 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1130 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1131 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1133 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1134 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1135 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1136 controller naming. (random)
1137 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1138 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1139 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1140 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1141 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1143 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1145 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1146 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1147 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1149 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1150 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1151 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1152 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1153 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1154 to report 'Unknown Error'
1155 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1156 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1157 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1158 parse_on_demand is on
1160 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1161 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1162 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1163 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1164 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1165 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1166 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1167 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1168 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1170 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1171 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1172 Test::Aggregate is available.
1173 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1174 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1175 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1176 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1177 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1178 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1179 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1180 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1181 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1182 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1183 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1184 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1185 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1186 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1187 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1188 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1189 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1190 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1191 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1194 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1195 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1196 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1197 configuration in your application.
1199 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1200 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1201 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1203 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1204 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1206 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1207 has been made private
1208 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1209 the request parameters with undef + test
1210 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1211 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1213 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1215 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1216 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1217 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1219 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1220 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1221 warning on recent Moose versions.
1222 - Add delta documentation
1223 - Clean up recursion errors
1224 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1225 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1227 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1228 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended

1236 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1237 - Tests for this (radek)

1239 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1240 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1241 - Tests for this (radek)

1252 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1253 in production versions
1254 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1255 the correct metaclass
1256 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1257 the restarter process
1258 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1259 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1261 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1262 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

1284 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1285 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1287 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1288 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
