1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
5 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
9 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
10 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
12 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
13 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
14 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
15 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
16 argv key in the options hash.
17 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
18 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
19 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
22 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
23 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
24 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
25 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
26 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
28 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
32 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
33 encoding test controller.
35 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
37 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
38 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
39 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
40 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
42 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
43 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
44 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
45 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
46 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
48 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
52 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
53 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
54 less packed with information of no use.
58 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
60 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
62 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
63 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
64 the single character '0'.
65 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
68 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
69 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
70 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
72 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
74 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
75 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
76 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
77 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
78 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
79 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
80 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
81 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
82 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
83 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
84 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
85 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
87 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
88 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
90 Refactoring / cleanups:
91 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
92 (and then skipped) normally.
95 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
97 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
100 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
101 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
102 on the old behaviour.
104 Refactoring / cleanups:
105 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
106 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
108 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
111 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
112 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
113 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
114 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
115 as there is no recommended alternative.
116 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
117 fallback for fully qualified component names.
118 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
119 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
120 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
121 startup, rather than with the first hit.
122 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
123 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
124 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
125 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
126 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
127 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
128 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
129 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
132 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
133 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
134 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
135 deprecated and causes warnings).
136 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
137 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
138 in the correct order.
139 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
141 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
142 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
143 is deprecated (RT#51489)
146 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
147 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
148 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
149 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
150 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
152 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
153 exception classes need to implement.
154 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
155 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
158 Refactoring / cleanups:
159 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
160 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
161 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
162 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
163 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
164 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
165 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
167 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
170 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
171 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
172 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
173 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
175 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
176 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
177 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
180 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
181 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
184 Refactoring / cleanups:
185 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
186 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
187 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
188 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
189 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
191 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
194 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
195 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
196 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
197 now loaded at most once + tests.
198 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
199 is returned to 'actions'.
200 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
201 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
203 Refactoring / cleanups:
204 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
205 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
208 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
209 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
210 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
212 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
215 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
216 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
219 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
222 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
223 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
224 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
226 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
229 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
230 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
231 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
233 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
236 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
237 application class immutable without that option.
238 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
239 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
241 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
242 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
243 (hopefully) future versions.
244 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
245 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
247 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
249 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
250 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
251 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
252 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
253 Request-URI of the Request-Line
255 Refactoring / cleanups:
256 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
257 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
258 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
259 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
260 known issues with 5.8.3.
261 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
262 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
265 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
266 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
267 for the controller namespace
268 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
269 expand_component_module (rjbs)
270 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
271 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
272 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
273 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
275 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
276 frontend port (jshirley)
277 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
281 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
282 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
283 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
284 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
287 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
290 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
291 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
292 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
294 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
295 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
296 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
297 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
298 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
299 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
303 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
304 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
305 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
308 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
311 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
312 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
314 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
315 in some environments.
316 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
317 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
318 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
319 except works correctly with closures.
320 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
321 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
322 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
324 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
325 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
326 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
329 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
330 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
331 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
332 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
333 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
334 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
336 Refactoring / cleanups:
337 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
338 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
339 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
340 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
342 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
343 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
344 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
346 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
347 again in Catalyst::Test
349 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
352 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
353 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
356 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
359 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
360 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
361 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
363 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
366 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
367 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
370 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
371 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
375 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
376 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
377 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
378 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
379 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
381 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
382 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
383 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
384 controller naming. (random)
385 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
386 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
387 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
388 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
389 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
391 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
393 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
394 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
395 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
397 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
398 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
399 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
400 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
401 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
402 to report 'Unknown Error'
403 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
404 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
405 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
406 parse_on_demand is on
408 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
409 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
410 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
411 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
412 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
413 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
414 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
415 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
416 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
418 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
419 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
420 Test::Aggregate is available.
421 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
422 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
423 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
424 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
425 disabling functionality from base controllers.
426 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
427 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
428 incompatibility issues in some cases.
429 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
430 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
431 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
432 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
433 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
434 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
435 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
436 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
437 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
438 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
439 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
441 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
442 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
443 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
444 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
445 configuration in your application.
447 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
448 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
449 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
451 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
452 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
454 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
455 has been made private
456 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
457 the request parameters with undef + test
458 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
459 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
461 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
463 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
464 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
465 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
467 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
468 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
469 warning on recent Moose versions.
470 - Add delta documentation
471 - Clean up recursion errors
472 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
473 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
475 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
476 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
478 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
479 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
480 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
481 tries to chain to itself
483 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
484 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
485 - Tests for this (radek)
486 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
487 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
488 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
489 - Tests for this (radek)
490 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
491 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
492 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
493 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
495 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
496 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
498 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
500 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
501 in production versions
502 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
503 the correct metaclass
504 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
505 the restarter process
506 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
507 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
509 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
510 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
511 immutable restart correctly.
513 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
514 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
515 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
516 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
517 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
518 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
519 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
520 - namespace::clean related cleanups
521 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
522 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
523 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
524 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
525 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
526 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
527 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
528 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
529 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
530 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
531 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
532 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
533 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
535 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
536 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
537 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
540 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
543 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
544 - Disallow writing to config after setup
545 - Disallow calling setup more than once

549 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
550 - Improved upgrading documentation
551 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
552 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
554 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
555 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
556 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
559 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
560 - Text::SimpleTable's go as wide as $ENV{COLUMNS} (jhannah)

566 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
567 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
569 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
570 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
571 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
572 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
