1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - New Feature: Type Constraints on Args/CapturArgs. ALlows you to declare
5 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
7 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
8 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
9 URL matches the defined args.
10 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
11 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments, please!
14 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
15 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
16 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
17 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
18 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
19 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
20 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
21 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
22 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
23 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
24 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
25 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
28 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
29 trying to create parameters twice.
30 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
31 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
32 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
33 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
34 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
35 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
36 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
37 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
38 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
39 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
40 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
43 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
44 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
45 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
46 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
47 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
48 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
51 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
52 to prevent it happening again.
55 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
56 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
57 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
58 test case to prevent regressions.
61 - Minor documentation corrections
62 - Make the '79 development series stable
64 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
65 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
66 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
67 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
68 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
70 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
71 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
72 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
73 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
74 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
75 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
76 changes introduced in v5.90080.
78 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
79 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
80 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
81 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
82 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
83 note posted a few months ago.
84 - Added my name to the contributors list
86 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
87 - Merged changes from 5.90078
88 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
89 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
90 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
91 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
92 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
93 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
94 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
95 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
96 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
97 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
98 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
100 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
101 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
102 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
104 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
105 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
106 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
107 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
108 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
109 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
110 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
111 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
112 has already been called (and headers already sent).
113 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
114 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
116 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
117 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
118 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
120 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
121 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
124 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
125 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
126 existing Plack conventions.
127 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
128 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
129 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
130 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
131 don't bubble back up to the main application.
132 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
133 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
134 I highly suggest you test this release.
135 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
136 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
137 correct if incorrect :)
138 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
139 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
140 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
141 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
142 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
143 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
144 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
145 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
146 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
148 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
149 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
150 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
152 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
153 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
154 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
155 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
159 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
161 - updated year in copyright notices
164 - POD corrections (sergey++)
165 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
166 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
167 trouble. (davewood++);
168 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
169 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
170 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
173 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
174 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
175 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
176 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
177 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
180 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
181 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
182 HTTP Exception middleware.
185 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
186 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
187 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
188 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
189 you really need to review this exploit.
192 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
195 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
196 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
197 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
198 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
200 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
203 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
204 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
205 so you can go to hunt it out.
208 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
209 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
210 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
211 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
212 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
213 - Added Italian translation of default error.
216 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
219 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
220 certain tests. No other changes.
223 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
224 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
225 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
227 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
229 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
231 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
235 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
236 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
237 questions or problems!
238 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
239 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
240 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
241 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
242 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
243 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
244 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
245 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
246 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
249 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
250 - documentation and test fixes
253 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
254 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
255 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
256 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
257 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
258 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
259 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
262 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
263 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
266 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
267 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
268 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
269 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
270 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
271 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
272 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
273 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
275 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
278 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
279 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
282 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
283 introduced by a change in December.
286 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
289 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
290 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
291 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
292 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
293 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
296 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
297 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
298 reported while installing.
299 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
300 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
301 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
302 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
303 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
304 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
305 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
306 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
307 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
308 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
309 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
310 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
311 - update copyright notices.
313 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
314 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
315 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
316 fails to install (sorry).
317 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
318 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
319 middleware deal with it.
321 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
322 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
323 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
324 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
325 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
326 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
327 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
328 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
329 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
331 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
332 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
333 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
334 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
335 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
336 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
337 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
338 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
339 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
340 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
342 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
343 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
344 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
345 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
349 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
350 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
351 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
352 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
353 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
354 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
358 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
359 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
360 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
362 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
363 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
364 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
366 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
367 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
368 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
369 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
371 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
372 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
373 - Various POD formatting fixed.
374 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
375 accept and issues that might arise.
378 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
379 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
382 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
383 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
384 for internal methods:
386 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
387 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
388 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
390 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
391 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
392 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
393 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
395 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
396 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
397 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
399 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
400 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
401 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
402 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
403 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
405 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
406 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
407 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
408 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
409 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
410 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
411 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
412 cases to reflect this change.
414 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
415 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
416 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
417 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
418 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
419 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
420 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
421 those keys already exist). Keys added:
422 - plack.request.query
424 - plack.request.merged
425 - plack.request.http.body
426 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
427 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
428 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
429 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
430 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
431 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
432 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
433 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
434 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
435 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
436 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
437 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
438 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
439 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
440 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
441 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
442 is a scalar or arrayref.
443 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
444 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
446 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
447 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
448 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
450 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
451 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
452 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
453 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
454 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
455 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
456 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
457 a development setup (ether++)
459 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
460 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
461 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
462 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
463 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
464 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
465 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
466 case t/data_handler.t
468 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
469 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
470 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
471 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
472 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
475 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
476 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
477 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
478 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
480 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
482 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
486 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
487 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
488 this fixes all of them.
489 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
490 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
491 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
492 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
494 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
497 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
498 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
499 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
500 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
501 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
502 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
503 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
505 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
506 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
507 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
508 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
509 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
510 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
512 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
513 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
514 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
515 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
516 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
517 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
518 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
519 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
521 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
524 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
525 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
526 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
527 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
528 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
529 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
531 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
532 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
533 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
534 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
535 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
536 - smarter validation around action attributes.
539 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
540 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
541 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
542 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
543 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
544 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
545 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
546 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
547 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
548 in behavior is compatible on its own.
549 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
550 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
551 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
552 - Some test and documentation improvements
554 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
555 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
556 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
557 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
560 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
561 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
564 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
565 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
567 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
568 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
570 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
572 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
573 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
575 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
577 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
578 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
579 of request or response classes.
581 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
582 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
583 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
584 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
585 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
586 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
587 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
588 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
589 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
590 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
592 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
593 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
594 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
595 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
596 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
598 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
600 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
601 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
603 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
605 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
606 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
607 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
610 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
613 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
616 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
617 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
619 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
622 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
625 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
627 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
629 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
631 Distribution META.yml changes:
632 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
633 mis-parses from the documentation.
634 - x_authority key added.
637 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
638 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
640 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
641 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
642 is less than helpful.
644 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
645 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
646 in bleadperl. RT#76437
648 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
649 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
652 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
653 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
655 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
656 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
657 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
659 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
662 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
663 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
664 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
665 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
666 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
667 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
669 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
671 - --background option for the server script now only closes
672 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
673 and other loggers which open a file handle when
674 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
675 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
676 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
679 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
682 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
683 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
684 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
685 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
687 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
690 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
693 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
694 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
695 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
696 included when not running from a checkout.
698 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
700 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
701 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
702 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
704 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
706 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
708 New features and refactoring:
709 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
710 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
711 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
713 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
714 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
715 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
718 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
719 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
720 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
722 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
724 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
725 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
726 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
727 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
728 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
729 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
731 Back compatibility fixes:
732 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
733 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
734 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
737 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
740 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
741 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
742 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
744 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
745 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
746 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
748 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
751 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
752 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
753 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
754 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
755 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
758 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
759 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
761 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
762 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
763 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
765 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
768 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
769 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
770 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
771 get them passed through to the application.
774 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
775 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
776 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
777 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
780 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
781 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
782 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
783 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
785 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
786 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
787 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
789 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
790 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
792 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
796 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
797 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
798 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
799 whereas before you had to say:
800 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
801 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
802 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
805 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
806 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
807 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
808 scripts in the application.
809 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
810 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
811 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
816 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
818 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
819 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
820 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
821 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
822 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
823 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
824 and provide an alternative.
826 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
830 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
833 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
836 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
838 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
839 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
840 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
841 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
842 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
843 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
847 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
848 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
850 Backward compatibility fixes:
852 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
853 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
857 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
858 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
860 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
862 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
864 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
865 Backward compatibility fixes:
867 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
868 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
870 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
874 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
875 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
876 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
878 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
880 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
881 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
883 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
887 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
889 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
891 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
893 Backward compatibility fixes:
895 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
897 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
898 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
899 for backward compatibility.
903 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
904 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
908 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
909 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
910 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
912 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
914 Backward compatibility fixes:
916 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
917 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
921 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
924 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
925 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
926 example) Coro is loaded.
928 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
929 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
931 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
932 using MooseX::Deamonize
934 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
935 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
936 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
937 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
938 deployed in these environments.
942 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
946 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
947 file for your application.
949 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
953 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
954 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
956 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
959 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
960 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
962 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
964 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
965 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
967 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
968 IO::Handle's behaviour.
970 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
971 was not breaking out correctly
973 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
974 to also work in the $c->component method.
976 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
977 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
978 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
980 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
982 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
984 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
986 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
987 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
990 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
992 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
995 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
999 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1000 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1001 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1003 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1006 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1008 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1009 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1010 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1012 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1015 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1016 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1017 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1018 the new major version of Catalyst.
1021 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1022 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1024 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1027 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1028 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1029 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1031 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1033 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1034 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1035 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1037 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1038 in Catalyst::execute
1040 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1041 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1042 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1044 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1045 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1049 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1050 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1052 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1053 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1054 developers without changing their application code.
1056 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1059 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1060 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1061 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1062 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1063 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1065 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1066 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1068 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1070 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1074 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1075 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1076 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1077 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1078 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1079 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1080 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1082 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1083 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1084 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1085 class, please tell us *now*.
1087 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1090 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1092 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1093 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1094 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1095 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1096 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1097 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1100 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1101 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1102 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1103 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1104 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1105 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1106 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1107 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1109 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1110 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1111 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1112 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1113 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1114 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1115 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1116 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1119 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1120 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1122 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1125 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1126 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1130 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1131 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1133 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1136 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1138 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1139 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1141 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1143 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1146 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1148 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1151 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1152 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1153 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1155 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1158 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1160 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1161 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1162 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1163 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1164 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1166 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1169 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1170 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1171 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1174 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1175 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1180 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1183 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1186 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1187 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1188 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1189 the default action creation.
1192 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1193 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1194 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1195 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1196 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1197 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1198 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1201 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1203 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1205 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1207 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1210 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1211 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1212 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1213 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1214 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1217 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1218 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1221 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1222 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1223 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1224 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1226 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1229 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1230 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1231 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1232 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1233 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1234 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1235 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1236 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1239 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1240 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1241 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1243 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1244 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1245 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1246 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1249 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1250 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1253 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1254 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1257 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1260 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1261 the content type and content length if available.
1263 Refactoring / optimizations:
1264 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1265 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1266 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1267 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1268 screen as easy to write.
1269 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1270 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1271 in parameter filtering (for example).
1272 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1273 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1274 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1275 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1276 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1279 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1280 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1281 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1282 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1284 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1287 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1288 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1290 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1293 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1294 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1296 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1299 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1300 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1301 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1302 which should not be encoded.
1303 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1304 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1306 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1307 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1308 any set of args/captures.
1310 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1311 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1313 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1317 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1319 - Various minor typo fixes.
1322 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1324 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1327 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1328 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1329 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1332 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1333 - Clarify documentation about debug
1336 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1337 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1338 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1340 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1343 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1344 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1348 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1349 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1351 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1352 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1353 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1354 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1355 argv key in the options hash.
1356 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1357 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1358 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1359 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1361 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1365 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1366 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1367 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1368 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1369 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1371 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1375 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1376 encoding test controller.
1378 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1380 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1381 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1383 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1385 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1386 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1387 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1388 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1389 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1391 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1395 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1396 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1397 less packed with information of no use.
1401 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1403 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1405 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1406 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1407 the single character '0'.
1408 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1411 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1412 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1413 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1415 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1417 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1418 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1419 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1420 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1421 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1422 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1423 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1424 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1425 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1426 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1427 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1428 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1430 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1431 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1433 Refactoring / cleanups:
1434 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1435 (and then skipped) normally.
1438 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1440 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1443 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1444 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1445 on the old behaviour.
1447 Refactoring / cleanups:
1448 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1449 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1451 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1454 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1455 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1456 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1457 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1458 as there is no recommended alternative.
1459 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1460 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1461 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1462 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1463 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1464 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1465 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1466 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1467 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1468 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1469 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1470 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1471 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1472 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1475 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1476 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1477 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1478 deprecated and causes warnings).
1479 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1480 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1481 in the correct order.
1482 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1484 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1485 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1486 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1489 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1490 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1491 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1492 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1493 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1495 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1496 exception classes need to implement.
1497 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1498 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1501 Refactoring / cleanups:
1502 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1503 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1504 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1505 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1506 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1507 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1508 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1510 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1513 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1514 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1515 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1516 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1518 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1519 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1520 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1523 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1524 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1527 Refactoring / cleanups:
1528 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1529 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1530 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1531 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1532 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1534 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1537 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1538 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1539 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1540 now loaded at most once + tests.
1541 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1542 is returned to 'actions'.
1543 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1544 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1546 Refactoring / cleanups:
1547 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1548 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1551 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1552 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1553 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1555 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1558 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1559 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1562 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1565 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1566 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1567 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1569 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1572 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1573 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1574 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1576 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1579 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1580 application class immutable without that option.
1581 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1582 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1584 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1585 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1586 (hopefully) future versions.
1587 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1588 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1589 variables (RT#48555)
1590 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1592 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1593 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1594 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1595 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1596 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1598 Refactoring / cleanups:
1599 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1600 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1601 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1602 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1603 known issues with 5.8.3.
1604 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1605 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1608 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1609 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1610 for the controller namespace
1611 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1612 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1613 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1614 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1615 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1616 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1618 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1619 frontend port (jshirley)
1620 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1624 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1625 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1626 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1627 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1630 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1633 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1634 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1635 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1637 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1638 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1639 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1640 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1641 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1642 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1646 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1647 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1648 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1651 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1654 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1655 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1657 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1658 in some environments.
1659 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1660 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1661 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1662 except works correctly with closures.
1663 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1664 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1665 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1666 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1667 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1668 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1669 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1672 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1673 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1674 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1675 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1676 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1677 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1679 Refactoring / cleanups:
1680 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1681 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1682 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1683 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1685 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1686 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1687 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1689 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1690 again in Catalyst::Test
1692 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1695 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1696 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1699 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1702 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1703 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1704 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1706 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1709 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1710 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1713 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1714 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1718 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1719 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1720 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.

1782 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1785 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1786 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.

1822 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1823 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1824 tries to chain to itself

1846 the correct metaclass
1847 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1848 the restarter process
1849 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1850 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1852 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1853 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1854 immutable restart correctly.
1856 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1857 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1875 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1876 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1878 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1879 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1939 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1941 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1942 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1968 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1969 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
