1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
5 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
6 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
7 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
8 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
10 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
11 - Added swanky github badges.
12 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
13 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
14 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
15 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
18 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
19 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
20 raise an error when registering its actions.
21 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
22 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
23 the injection and do custom injection types.
25 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
26 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
27 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
29 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
30 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
31 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
32 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
34 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
35 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
36 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
37 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
38 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
39 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
40 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
41 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
42 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
43 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
45 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
46 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
47 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
48 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
49 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
50 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
51 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
52 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
54 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
55 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
56 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
57 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
58 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
59 stand alone classes...).
60 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
61 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
62 report any stats related issues.
63 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
64 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
65 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
66 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
67 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
68 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
69 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
71 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
72 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
73 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
74 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
76 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
77 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
78 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
79 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
80 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
81 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
84 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
85 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
86 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
87 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
88 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
89 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
90 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
91 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
92 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
93 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
94 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
95 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
98 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
99 trying to create parameters twice.
100 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
101 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
102 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
103 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
104 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
105 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
106 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
107 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
108 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
109 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
110 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
113 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
114 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
115 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
116 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
117 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
118 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
121 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
122 to prevent it happening again.
125 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
126 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
127 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
128 test case to prevent regressions.
131 - Minor documentation corrections
132 - Make the '79 development series stable
134 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
135 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
136 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
137 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
138 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
140 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
141 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
142 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
143 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
144 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
145 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
146 changes introduced in v5.90080.
148 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
149 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
150 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
151 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
152 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
153 note posted a few months ago.
154 - Added my name to the contributors list
156 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
157 - Merged changes from 5.90078
158 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
159 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
160 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
161 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
162 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
163 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
164 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
165 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
166 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
167 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
168 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
170 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
171 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
172 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
174 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
175 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
176 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
177 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
178 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
179 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
180 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
181 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
182 has already been called (and headers already sent).
183 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
184 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
186 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
187 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
188 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
190 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
191 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
194 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
195 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
196 existing Plack conventions.
197 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
198 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
199 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
200 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
201 don't bubble back up to the main application.
202 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
203 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
204 I highly suggest you test this release.
205 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
206 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
207 correct if incorrect :)
208 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
209 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
210 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
211 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
212 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
213 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
214 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
215 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
216 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
218 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
219 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
220 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
222 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
223 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
224 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
225 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
229 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
231 - updated year in copyright notices
234 - POD corrections (sergey++)
235 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
236 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
237 trouble. (davewood++);
238 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
239 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
240 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
243 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
244 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
245 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
246 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
247 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
250 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
251 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
252 HTTP Exception middleware.
255 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
256 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
257 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
258 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
259 you really need to review this exploit.
262 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
265 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
266 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
267 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
268 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
270 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
273 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
274 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
275 so you can go to hunt it out.
278 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
279 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
280 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
281 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
282 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
283 - Added Italian translation of default error.
286 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
289 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
290 certain tests. No other changes.
293 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
294 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
295 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
297 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
299 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
301 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
305 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
306 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
307 questions or problems!
308 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
309 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
310 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
311 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
312 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
313 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
314 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
315 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
316 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
319 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
320 - documentation and test fixes
323 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
324 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
325 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
326 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
327 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
328 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
329 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
332 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
333 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
336 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
337 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
338 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
339 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
340 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
341 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
342 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
343 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
345 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
348 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
349 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
352 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
353 introduced by a change in December.
356 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
359 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
360 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
361 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
362 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
363 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
366 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
367 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
368 reported while installing.
369 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
370 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
371 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
372 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
373 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
374 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
375 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
376 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
377 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
378 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
379 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
380 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
381 - update copyright notices.
383 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
384 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
385 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
386 fails to install (sorry).
387 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
388 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
389 middleware deal with it.
391 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
392 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
393 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
394 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
395 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
396 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
397 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
398 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
399 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
401 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
402 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
403 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
404 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
405 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
406 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
407 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
408 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
409 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
410 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
412 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
413 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
414 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
415 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
419 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
420 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
421 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
422 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
423 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
424 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
428 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
429 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
430 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
432 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
433 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
434 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
436 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
437 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
438 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
439 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
441 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
442 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
443 - Various POD formatting fixed.
444 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
445 accept and issues that might arise.
448 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
449 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
452 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
453 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
454 for internal methods:
456 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
457 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
458 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
460 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
461 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
462 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
463 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
465 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
466 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
467 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
469 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
470 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
471 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
472 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
473 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
475 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
476 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
477 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
478 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
479 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
480 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
481 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
482 cases to reflect this change.
484 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
485 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
486 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
487 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
488 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
489 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
490 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
491 those keys already exist). Keys added:
492 - plack.request.query
494 - plack.request.merged
495 - plack.request.http.body
496 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
497 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
498 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
499 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
500 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
501 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
502 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
503 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
504 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
505 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
506 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
507 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
508 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
509 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
510 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
511 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
512 is a scalar or arrayref.
513 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
514 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
516 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
517 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
518 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
520 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
521 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
522 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
523 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
524 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
525 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
526 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
527 a development setup (ether++)
529 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
530 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
531 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
532 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
533 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
534 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
535 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
536 case t/data_handler.t
538 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
539 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
540 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
541 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
542 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
545 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
546 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
547 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
548 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
550 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
552 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
556 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
557 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
558 this fixes all of them.
559 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
560 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
561 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
562 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
564 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
567 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
568 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
569 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
570 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
571 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
572 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
573 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
575 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
576 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
577 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
578 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
579 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
580 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
582 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
583 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
584 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
585 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
586 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
587 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
588 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
589 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
591 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
594 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
595 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
596 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
597 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
598 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
599 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
601 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
602 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
603 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
604 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
605 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
606 - smarter validation around action attributes.
609 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
610 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
611 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
612 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
613 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
614 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
615 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
616 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
617 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
618 in behavior is compatible on its own.
619 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
620 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
621 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
622 - Some test and documentation improvements
624 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
625 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
626 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
627 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
630 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
631 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
634 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
635 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
637 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
638 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
640 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
642 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
643 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
645 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
647 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
648 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
649 of request or response classes.
651 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
652 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
653 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
654 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
655 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
656 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
657 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
658 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
659 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
660 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
662 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
663 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
664 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
665 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
666 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
668 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
670 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
671 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
673 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
675 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
676 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
677 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
680 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
683 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
686 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
687 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
689 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
692 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
695 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
697 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
699 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
701 Distribution META.yml changes:
702 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
703 mis-parses from the documentation.
704 - x_authority key added.
707 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
708 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
710 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
711 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
712 is less than helpful.
714 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
715 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
716 in bleadperl. RT#76437
718 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
719 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
722 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
723 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
725 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
726 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
727 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
729 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
732 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
733 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
734 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
735 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
736 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
737 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
739 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
741 - --background option for the server script now only closes
742 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
743 and other loggers which open a file handle when
744 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
745 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
746 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
749 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
752 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
753 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
754 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
755 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
757 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
760 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
763 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
764 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
765 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
766 included when not running from a checkout.
768 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
770 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
771 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
772 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
774 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
776 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
778 New features and refactoring:
779 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
780 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
781 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
783 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
784 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
785 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
788 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
789 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
790 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
792 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
794 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
795 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
796 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
797 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
798 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
799 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
801 Back compatibility fixes:
802 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
803 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
804 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
807 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
810 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
811 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
812 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
814 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
815 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
816 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
818 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
821 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
822 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
823 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
824 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
825 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
828 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
829 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
831 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
832 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
833 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
835 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
838 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
839 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
840 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
841 get them passed through to the application.
844 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
845 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
846 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
847 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
850 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
851 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
852 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
853 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
855 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
856 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
857 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
859 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
860 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
862 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
866 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
867 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
868 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
869 whereas before you had to say:
870 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
871 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
872 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
875 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
876 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
877 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
878 scripts in the application.
879 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
880 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
881 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
886 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
888 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
889 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
890 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
891 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
892 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
893 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
894 and provide an alternative.
896 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
900 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
903 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
906 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
908 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
909 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
910 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
911 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
912 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
913 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
917 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
918 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
920 Backward compatibility fixes:
922 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
923 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
927 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
928 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
930 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
932 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
934 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
935 Backward compatibility fixes:
937 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
938 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
940 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
944 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
945 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
946 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
948 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
950 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
951 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
953 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
957 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
959 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
961 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
963 Backward compatibility fixes:
965 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
967 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
968 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
969 for backward compatibility.
973 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
974 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
978 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
979 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
980 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
982 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
984 Backward compatibility fixes:
986 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
987 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
991 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
994 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
995 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
996 example) Coro is loaded.
998 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
999 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1001 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1002 using MooseX::Deamonize
1004 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1005 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1006 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1007 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1008 deployed in these environments.
1012 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1016 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1017 file for your application.
1019 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1023 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1024 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1026 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1029 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1030 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1032 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1034 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1035 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1037 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1038 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1040 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1041 was not breaking out correctly
1043 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1044 to also work in the $c->component method.
1046 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1047 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1048 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1050 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1052 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1054 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1056 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1057 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1060 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1062 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1065 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1066 not being installed.
1069 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1070 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1071 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1073 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1076 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1078 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1079 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1080 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1082 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1085 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1086 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1087 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1088 the new major version of Catalyst.
1091 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1092 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1094 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1097 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1098 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1099 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1101 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1103 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1104 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1105 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1107 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1108 in Catalyst::execute
1110 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1111 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1112 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1114 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1115 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1119 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1120 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1122 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1123 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1124 developers without changing their application code.
1126 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1129 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1130 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1131 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1132 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1133 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1135 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1136 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1138 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1140 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1144 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1145 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1146 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1147 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1148 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1149 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1150 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1152 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1153 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1154 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1155 class, please tell us *now*.
1157 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1160 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1162 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1163 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1164 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1165 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1166 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1167 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1170 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1171 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1172 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1173 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1174 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1175 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1176 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1177 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1179 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1180 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1181 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1182 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1183 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1184 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1185 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1186 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1189 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1190 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1192 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1195 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1196 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1200 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1201 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1203 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1206 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1208 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1209 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1211 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1213 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1216 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1218 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1221 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1222 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1223 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1225 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1228 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1230 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1231 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1232 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1233 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1234 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1236 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1239 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1240 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1241 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1244 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1245 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1250 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1253 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1256 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1257 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1258 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1259 the default action creation.
1262 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1263 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1264 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1265 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1266 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1267 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1268 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1271 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1273 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1275 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1277 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1280 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1281 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1282 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1283 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1284 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1287 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1288 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1291 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1292 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1293 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1294 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1296 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1299 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1300 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1301 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1302 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1303 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1304 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1305 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1306 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1309 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1310 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1311 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1313 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1314 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1315 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1316 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1319 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1320 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1323 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1324 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1327 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1330 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1331 the content type and content length if available.
1333 Refactoring / optimizations:
1334 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1335 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1336 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1337 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1338 screen as easy to write.
1339 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1340 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1341 in parameter filtering (for example).
1342 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1343 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1344 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1345 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1346 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1349 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1350 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1351 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1352 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1354 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1357 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1358 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1360 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1363 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1364 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1366 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1369 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1370 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1371 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1372 which should not be encoded.
1373 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1374 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1376 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1377 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1378 any set of args/captures.
1380 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1381 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1383 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1387 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1389 - Various minor typo fixes.
1392 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1394 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1397 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1398 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1399 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1402 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1403 - Clarify documentation about debug
1406 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1407 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1408 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1410 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1413 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1414 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1418 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1419 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1421 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1422 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1423 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1424 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1425 argv key in the options hash.
1426 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1427 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1428 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1429 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1431 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1435 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1436 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1437 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1438 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1439 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1441 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1445 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1446 encoding test controller.
1448 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1450 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1451 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1452 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1453 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1455 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1456 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1457 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1458 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1459 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1461 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1465 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1466 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1467 less packed with information of no use.
1471 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1473 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1475 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1476 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1477 the single character '0'.
1478 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1481 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1482 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1483 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1485 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1487 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1488 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1489 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1490 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1491 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1492 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1493 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1494 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1495 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1496 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1497 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1498 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1500 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1501 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1503 Refactoring / cleanups:
1504 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1505 (and then skipped) normally.
1508 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1510 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1513 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1514 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1515 on the old behaviour.
1517 Refactoring / cleanups:
1518 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1519 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1521 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1524 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1525 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1526 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1527 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1528 as there is no recommended alternative.
1529 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1530 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1531 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1532 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1533 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1534 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1535 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1536 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1537 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1538 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1539 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1540 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1541 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1542 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1545 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1546 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1547 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1548 deprecated and causes warnings).
1549 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1550 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1551 in the correct order.
1552 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1554 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1555 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1556 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1559 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1560 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1561 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1562 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1563 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1565 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1566 exception classes need to implement.
1567 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1568 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1571 Refactoring / cleanups:
1572 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1573 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1574 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1575 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1576 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1577 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1578 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1580 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1583 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1584 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1585 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1586 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1588 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1589 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1590 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1593 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1594 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1597 Refactoring / cleanups:
1598 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1599 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1600 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1601 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1602 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1604 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1607 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1608 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1609 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1610 now loaded at most once + tests.
1611 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1612 is returned to 'actions'.
1613 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1614 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1616 Refactoring / cleanups:
1617 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1618 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1621 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1622 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1623 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1625 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1628 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1629 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1632 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1635 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1636 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1637 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1639 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1642 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1643 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1644 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1646 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1649 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1650 application class immutable without that option.
1651 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1652 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1654 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1655 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1656 (hopefully) future versions.
1657 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1658 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1659 variables (RT#48555)
1660 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1662 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1663 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1664 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1665 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1666 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1668 Refactoring / cleanups:
1669 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1670 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1671 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1672 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1673 known issues with 5.8.3.
1674 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1675 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1678 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1679 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1680 for the controller namespace
1681 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1682 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1683 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1684 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1685 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1686 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1688 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1689 frontend port (jshirley)
1690 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1694 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1695 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1696 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.

1707 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1708 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1709 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1710 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1711 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1712 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1716 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1717 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1718 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1721 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1724 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for

1728 in some environments.
1729 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with

1731 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1732 except works correctly with closures.

1742 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1743 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)

1745 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1746 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1747 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1749 Refactoring / cleanups:
1750 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1751 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1752 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1753 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1755 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1756 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1757 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

1773 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1774 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1776 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1779 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1780 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1783 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1784 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1788 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

1791 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1792 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1794 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

1812 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1813 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1814 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1815 to report 'Unknown Error'
1816 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1817 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1818 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

1851 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1852 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1855 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1856 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1857 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1891 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1892 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1893 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1894 tries to chain to itself

1897 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1898 - Tests for this (radek)
1899 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1900 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1901 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1902 - Tests for this (radek)

1913 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1914 in production versions
1915 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1916 the correct metaclass
1917 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1918 the restarter process
1919 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1920 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1922 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1923 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1924 immutable restart correctly.
1926 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1927 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1943 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1944 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1945 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1946 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate

1988 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1989 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

2000 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2001 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2006 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2008 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2009 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2011 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2012 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2037 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
2038 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
2039 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2159 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
2160 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2161 throw warnings for two reasons:
2162 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2163 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2165 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2166 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2167 method with a regex as the argument
