1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 Distribution META.yml changes:
4 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
5 mis-parses from the documentation.
6 - x_authority key added.
9 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
10 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
12 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
13 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
17 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
18 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
20 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
22 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
25 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
26 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
27 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
28 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
29 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
30 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
32 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
34 - --background option for the server script now only closes
35 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
36 and other loggers which open a file handle when
37 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
38 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
39 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
42 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
45 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
46 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
47 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
48 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
50 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
53 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
56 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
57 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
58 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
59 included when not running from a checkout.
61 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
63 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
64 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
65 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
67 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
69 New features and refactoring:
70 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
71 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
72 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
74 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
75 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
76 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
79 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
80 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
81 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
83 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
85 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
86 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
87 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
88 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
89 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
90 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
92 Back compatibility fixes:
93 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
94 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
95 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
98 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
101 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
102 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
103 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
105 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
106 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
107 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
109 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
112 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
113 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
114 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
115 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
116 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
119 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
120 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
122 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
123 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
124 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
126 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
129 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
130 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
131 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
132 get them passed through to the application.
135 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
136 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
137 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
138 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
141 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
142 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
143 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
144 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
146 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
147 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
148 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
150 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
151 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
153 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
157 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
158 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
159 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
160 whereas before you had to say:
161 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
162 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
163 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
166 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
167 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
168 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
169 scripts in the application.
170 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
171 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
172 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
177 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
179 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
180 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
181 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
182 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
183 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
184 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
185 and provide an alternative.
187 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
191 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
194 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
197 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
199 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
200 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
201 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
202 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
203 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
204 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
208 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
209 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
211 Backward compatibility fixes:
213 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
214 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
218 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
219 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
221 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
223 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
225 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
226 Backward compatibility fixes:
228 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
229 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
231 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
235 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
236 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
237 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
239 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
241 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
242 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
244 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
248 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
250 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
252 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
254 Backward compatibility fixes:
256 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
258 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
259 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
260 for backward compatibility.
264 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
265 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
269 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
270 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
271 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
273 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
275 Backward compatibility fixes:
277 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
278 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
282 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
285 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
286 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
287 example) Coro is loaded.
289 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
290 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
292 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
293 using MooseX::Deamonize
295 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
296 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
297 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
298 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
299 deployed in these environments.
303 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
307 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
308 file for your application.
310 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
314 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
315 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
317 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
320 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
321 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
323 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
325 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
326 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
328 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
329 IO::Handle's behaviour.
331 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
332 was not breaking out correctly
334 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
335 to also work in the $c->component method.
337 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
338 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
339 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
341 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
343 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
345 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
347 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
348 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
351 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
353 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
356 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
360 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
361 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
362 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
364 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
367 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
369 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
370 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
371 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
373 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
376 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
377 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
378 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
379 the new major version of Catalyst.
382 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
383 of Catalyst has been much improved.
385 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
388 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
389 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
390 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
392 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
394 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
395 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
396 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
398 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
401 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
402 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
403 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
405 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
406 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
410 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
411 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
413 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
414 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
415 developers without changing their application code.
417 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
420 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
421 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
422 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
423 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
424 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
426 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
427 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
429 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
431 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
435 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
436 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
437 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
438 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
439 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
440 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
441 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
443 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
444 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
445 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
446 class, please tell us *now*.
448 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
451 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
453 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
454 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
455 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
456 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
457 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
458 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
461 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
462 the Content-Length header appropriately)
463 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
464 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
465 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
466 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
467 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
468 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
470 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
471 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
472 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
473 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
474 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
475 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
476 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
477 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
480 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
481 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
483 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
486 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
487 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
491 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
492 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
494 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
497 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
499 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
500 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
502 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
504 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
507 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
509 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
512 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
513 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
514 load Utils before MyApp.pm
516 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
519 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
521 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
522 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
523 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
524 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
525 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
527 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
530 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
531 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
532 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
535 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
536 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
541 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
544 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
547 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
548 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
549 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
550 the default action creation.
553 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
554 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
555 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
556 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
557 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
558 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
559 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
562 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
564 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
566 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
568 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
571 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
572 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
573 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
574 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
575 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
578 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
579 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
582 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
583 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
584 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
585 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
587 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
590 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
591 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
592 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
593 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
594 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
595 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
596 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
597 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
600 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
601 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
602 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
604 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
605 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
606 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
607 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
610 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
611 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
614 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
615 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
618 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
621 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
622 the content type and content length if available.
624 Refactoring / optimizations:
625 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
626 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
627 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
628 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
629 screen as easy to write.
630 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
631 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
632 in parameter filtering (for example).
633 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
634 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
635 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
636 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
637 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
640 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
641 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
642 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
643 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
645 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
648 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
649 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
651 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
654 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
655 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)

660 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
661 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
662 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
663 which should not be encoded.
664 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
665 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
667 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
668 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
669 any set of args/captures.
671 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
672 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
674 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
678 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
680 - Various minor typo fixes.
683 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
685 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
688 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
689 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
690 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
693 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
694 - Clarify documentation about debug
697 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
698 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
699 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
701 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
704 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
705 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
709 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
710 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
712 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
713 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
714 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
715 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
716 argv key in the options hash.
717 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
718 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
719 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
720 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
722 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
726 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
727 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
728 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
729 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
730 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
732 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
736 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
737 encoding test controller.
739 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
741 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
742 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
743 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
744 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
746 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
747 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
748 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
749 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
750 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
752 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
756 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
757 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
758 less packed with information of no use.
762 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
764 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
766 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
767 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
768 the single character '0'.
769 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
772 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
773 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
774 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
776 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
778 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
779 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
780 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
781 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
782 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
783 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
784 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
785 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
786 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
787 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
788 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
789 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
791 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
792 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
794 Refactoring / cleanups:
795 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
796 (and then skipped) normally.
799 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
801 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
804 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
805 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
806 on the old behaviour.
808 Refactoring / cleanups:
809 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
810 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
812 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
815 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
816 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
817 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
818 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
819 as there is no recommended alternative.
820 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
821 fallback for fully qualified component names.
822 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
823 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
824 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
825 startup, rather than with the first hit.
826 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
827 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
828 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
829 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
830 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
831 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
832 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
833 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
836 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
837 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
838 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
839 deprecated and causes warnings).
840 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
841 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
842 in the correct order.
843 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
845 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
846 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
847 is deprecated (RT#51489)
850 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
851 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
852 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
853 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
854 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
856 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
857 exception classes need to implement.
858 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
859 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
862 Refactoring / cleanups:
863 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
864 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
865 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
866 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
867 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
868 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
869 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
871 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
874 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
875 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
876 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
877 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
879 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
880 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
881 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
884 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
885 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
888 Refactoring / cleanups:
889 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
890 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
891 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
892 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
893 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
895 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
898 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
899 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
900 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
901 now loaded at most once + tests.
902 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
903 is returned to 'actions'.
904 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
905 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
907 Refactoring / cleanups:
908 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
909 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
912 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
913 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
914 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
916 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
919 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
920 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
923 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
926 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
927 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
928 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
930 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
933 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
934 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
935 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
937 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
940 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
941 application class immutable without that option.
942 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
943 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
945 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
946 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
947 (hopefully) future versions.
948 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
949 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
951 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
953 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
954 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
955 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
956 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
957 Request-URI of the Request-Line
959 Refactoring / cleanups:
960 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
961 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
962 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
963 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
964 known issues with 5.8.3.
965 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
966 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
969 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
970 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
971 for the controller namespace
972 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
973 expand_component_module (rjbs)
974 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
975 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
976 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
977 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
979 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
980 frontend port (jshirley)
981 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
985 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
986 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
987 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
988 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
991 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
994 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
995 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
996 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
998 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
999 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1000 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1001 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1002 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1003 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1007 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1008 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1009 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1012 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1015 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1016 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1018 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1019 in some environments.
1020 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1021 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1022 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1023 except works correctly with closures.
1024 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1025 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1026 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1027 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1028 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1029 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1030 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1033 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1034 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1035 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1036 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1037 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1038 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1040 Refactoring / cleanups:
1041 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1042 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1043 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1044 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1046 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1047 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1048 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1050 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1051 again in Catalyst::Test
1053 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1056 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1057 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1060 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1063 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1064 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1065 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1067 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1070 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1071 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1074 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1075 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1079 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1080 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1081 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1082 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1083 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1085 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1086 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1087 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1088 controller naming. (random)
1089 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1090 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1091 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1092 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1093 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1095 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1097 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1098 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1099 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1101 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1102 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1103 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1104 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1105 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1106 to report 'Unknown Error'
1107 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1108 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1109 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1110 parse_on_demand is on
1112 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1113 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1114 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1115 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1116 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1117 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1118 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1119 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1120 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1122 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1123 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1124 Test::Aggregate is available.
1125 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1126 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1127 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1128 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1129 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1130 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1131 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1132 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1133 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1134 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1135 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them

1137 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1138 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1139 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1140 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1141 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1142 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1143 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1146 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1147 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1148 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1149 configuration in your application.
1151 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1152 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1153 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1155 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1156 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1158 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1159 has been made private
1160 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1161 the request parameters with undef + test
1162 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1163 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1165 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1167 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1168 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1169 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1171 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1172 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1173 warning on recent Moose versions.
1174 - Add delta documentation
1175 - Clean up recursion errors
1176 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1177 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1179 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1180 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1182 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1183 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1184 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1185 tries to chain to itself
1187 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1188 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1189 - Tests for this (radek)
1190 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1191 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1192 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1193 - Tests for this (radek)
1194 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1195 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1196 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1197 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1199 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1200 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1202 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1204 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1205 in production versions
1206 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1207 the correct metaclass
1208 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1209 the restarter process
1210 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1211 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1213 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1214 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1215 immutable restart correctly.
1217 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1218 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1219 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1220 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1221 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
