1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
5 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
6 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
8 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
11 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
12 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
13 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
14 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
15 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
18 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
19 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
21 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
22 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
23 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
25 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
28 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
29 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
30 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
31 get them passed through to the application.
34 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
35 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
36 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
37 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
40 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
41 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
42 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
43 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
45 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
46 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
47 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
49 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
50 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
52 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
56 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
57 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
58 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
59 whereas before you had to say:
60 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
61 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
62 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
65 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
66 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
67 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
68 scripts in the application.
69 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
70 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
71 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
76 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
78 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
79 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
80 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
81 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
82 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
83 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
84 and provide an alternative.
86 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
90 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
93 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
96 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
98 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
99 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
100 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
101 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
102 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
103 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
107 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
108 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
110 Backward compatibility fixes:
112 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
113 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
117 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
118 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
120 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
122 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
124 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
125 Backward compatibility fixes:
127 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
128 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
130 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
134 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
135 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
136 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
138 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
140 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
141 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
143 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
147 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
149 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
151 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
153 Backward compatibility fixes:
155 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
157 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
158 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
159 for backward compatibility.
163 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
164 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
168 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
169 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
170 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
172 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
174 Backward compatibility fixes:
176 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
177 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
181 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
184 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
185 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
186 example) Coro is loaded.
188 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
189 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
191 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
192 using MooseX::Deamonize
194 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
195 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
196 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
197 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
198 deployed in these environments.
202 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
206 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
207 file for your application.
209 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
213 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
214 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
216 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
219 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
220 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
222 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
224 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
225 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
227 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
228 IO::Handle's behaviour.
230 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
231 was not breaking out correctly
233 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
234 to also work in the $c->component method.
236 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
237 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
238 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
240 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
242 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
244 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
246 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
247 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
250 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
252 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
255 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
259 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
260 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
261 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
263 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
266 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
268 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
269 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
270 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
272 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
275 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
276 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
277 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
278 the new major version of Catalyst.
281 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
282 of Catalyst has been much improved.
284 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
287 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
288 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
289 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
291 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
293 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
294 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
295 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
297 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
300 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
301 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
302 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
304 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
305 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
309 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
310 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
312 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
313 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
314 developers without changing their application code.
316 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
319 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
320 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
321 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
322 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
323 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
325 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
326 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
328 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
330 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
334 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
335 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
336 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
337 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
338 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
339 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
340 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
342 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
343 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
344 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
345 class, please tell us *now*.
347 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
350 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
352 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
353 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
354 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
355 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
356 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
357 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
360 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
361 the Content-Length header appropriately)
362 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
363 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
364 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
365 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
366 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
367 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
369 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
370 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
371 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
372 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
373 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
374 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
375 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
376 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
379 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
380 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
382 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
385 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
386 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
390 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
391 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
393 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
396 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
398 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
399 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
401 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
403 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
406 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
408 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
411 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
412 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
413 load Utils before MyApp.pm
415 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
418 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
420 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
421 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
422 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
423 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
424 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
426 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
429 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
430 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
431 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
434 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
435 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
440 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
443 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
446 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
447 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
448 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
449 the default action creation.
452 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
453 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
454 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
455 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
456 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
457 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
458 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
461 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
463 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
465 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
467 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
470 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
471 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
472 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
473 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
474 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
477 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
478 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
481 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
482 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
483 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
484 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
486 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
489 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
490 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
491 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
492 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
493 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
494 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
495 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
496 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
499 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
500 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
501 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
503 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
504 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
505 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
506 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
509 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
510 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
513 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
514 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
517 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
520 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
521 the content type and content length if available.
523 Refactoring / optimizations:
524 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
525 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
526 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
527 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
528 screen as easy to write.
529 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
530 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
531 in parameter filtering (for example).
532 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
533 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
534 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
535 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
536 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
539 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
540 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
541 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
542 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
544 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
547 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
548 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
550 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
553 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
554 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
556 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
559 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
560 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
561 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
562 which should not be encoded.
563 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
564 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
566 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
567 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
568 any set of args/captures.
570 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
571 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
573 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
577 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
579 - Various minor typo fixes.
582 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
584 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
587 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
588 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
589 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
592 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
593 - Clarify documentation about debug
596 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
597 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
598 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
600 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
603 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
604 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
608 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
609 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
611 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
612 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
613 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
614 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
615 argv key in the options hash.
616 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
617 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
618 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
619 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
621 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
625 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
626 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
627 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
628 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
629 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
631 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
635 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
636 encoding test controller.
638 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
640 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
641 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
642 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
643 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
645 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
646 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
647 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
648 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
649 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
651 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
655 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
656 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
657 less packed with information of no use.
661 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
663 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
665 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
666 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
667 the single character '0'.
668 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
671 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
672 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
673 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
675 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
677 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
678 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
679 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
680 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
681 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
682 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
683 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
684 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
685 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
686 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
687 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
688 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
690 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
691 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
693 Refactoring / cleanups:
694 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
695 (and then skipped) normally.
698 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
700 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
703 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
704 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
705 on the old behaviour.
707 Refactoring / cleanups:
708 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
709 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
711 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
714 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
715 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
716 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
717 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
718 as there is no recommended alternative.
719 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
720 fallback for fully qualified component names.
721 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
722 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
723 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
724 startup, rather than with the first hit.
725 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
726 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
727 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
728 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
729 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
730 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
731 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
732 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
735 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
736 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
737 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
738 deprecated and causes warnings).
739 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
740 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
741 in the correct order.
742 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
744 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
745 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
746 is deprecated (RT#51489)
749 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
750 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
751 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
752 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
753 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
755 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
756 exception classes need to implement.
757 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
758 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
761 Refactoring / cleanups:
762 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
763 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
764 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
765 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
766 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
767 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
768 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
770 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
773 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
774 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
775 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
776 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
778 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
779 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
780 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
783 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
784 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
787 Refactoring / cleanups:
788 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
789 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
790 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
791 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
792 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
794 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
797 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
798 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
799 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
800 now loaded at most once + tests.
801 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
802 is returned to 'actions'.
803 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
804 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
806 Refactoring / cleanups:
807 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
808 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
811 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
812 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
813 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
815 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
818 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
819 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
822 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
825 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
826 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
827 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
829 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
832 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
833 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
834 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
836 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
839 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
840 application class immutable without that option.
841 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
842 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
844 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
845 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
846 (hopefully) future versions.
847 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
848 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
850 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
852 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
853 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
854 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
855 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
856 Request-URI of the Request-Line
858 Refactoring / cleanups:
859 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
860 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
861 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
862 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
863 known issues with 5.8.3.
864 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
865 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
868 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
869 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
870 for the controller namespace
871 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
872 expand_component_module (rjbs)
873 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
874 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
875 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
876 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
878 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
879 frontend port (jshirley)
880 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
884 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
885 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
886 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
887 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
890 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
893 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
894 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
895 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
897 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
898 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
899 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
900 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
901 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
902 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
906 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
907 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
908 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
911 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
914 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
915 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
917 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
918 in some environments.
919 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
920 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
921 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
922 except works correctly with closures.
923 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
924 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
925 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
927 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
928 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
929 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
932 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
933 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
934 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
935 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
936 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
937 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
939 Refactoring / cleanups:
940 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
941 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
942 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
943 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
945 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
946 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
947 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
949 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
950 again in Catalyst::Test
952 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
955 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
956 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
959 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
962 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
963 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
964 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
966 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
969 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
970 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
973 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
974 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
978 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
979 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
980 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
981 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
982 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
984 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
985 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
986 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
987 controller naming. (random)
988 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
989 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
990 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
991 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
992 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
994 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
996 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
997 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
998 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1000 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1001 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1002 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1003 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1004 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1005 to report 'Unknown Error'
1006 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1007 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1008 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1009 parse_on_demand is on
1011 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1012 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1013 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1014 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1015 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1016 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1017 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1018 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1019 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1021 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1022 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1023 Test::Aggregate is available.
1024 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1025 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1026 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1027 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1028 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1029 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1030 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1031 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1037 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1038 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1039 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1040 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1041 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1042 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1045 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1046 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1047 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1048 configuration in your application.
1050 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1051 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1052 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1054 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1055 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1057 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1058 has been made private
1059 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1060 the request parameters with undef + test
1061 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1062 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1064 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1066 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1067 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1068 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1070 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1071 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1072 warning on recent Moose versions.
1073 - Add delta documentation
1074 - Clean up recursion errors
1075 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1076 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1078 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1079 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1081 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1082 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1083 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1084 tries to chain to itself
1086 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1087 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1088 - Tests for this (radek)
1089 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1090 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1091 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1092 - Tests for this (radek)
1093 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1094 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1095 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1096 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1098 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1099 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1101 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1103 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1104 in production versions
1105 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1106 the correct metaclass
1107 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1108 the restarter process
1109 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1110 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1112 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1113 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1114 immutable restart correctly.
1116 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1117 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1118 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1119 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1120 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1121 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment

1126 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1127 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1128 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1129 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1130 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1131 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1132 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1133 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1134 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1135 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1136 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1138 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1139 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1140 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1143 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1144 - Add uri_with tests
1146 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1171 keep-alive requests.
1172 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1173 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1174 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1175 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1177 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1178 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1179 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1180 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1181 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1182 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1183 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1184 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1185 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1186 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1187 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1188 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1189 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1190 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1191 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1192 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1193 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1194 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1195 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1196 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1198 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1199 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1201 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1202 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1203 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1205 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1206 test sync for engines easier
1207 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1208 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1210 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1211 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
