1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
5 - New Feature: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
6 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
8 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
9 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
10 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
11 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
12 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
13 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
16 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
17 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
18 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
19 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
20 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
21 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
22 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
23 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
24 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
25 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
26 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
27 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
30 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
31 trying to create parameters twice.
32 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
33 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
34 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
35 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
36 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
37 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
38 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
39 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
40 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
41 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
42 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
45 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
46 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
47 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
48 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
49 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
50 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
53 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
54 to prevent it happening again.
57 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
58 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
59 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
60 test case to prevent regressions.
63 - Minor documentation corrections
64 - Make the '79 development series stable
66 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
67 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
68 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
69 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
70 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
72 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
73 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
74 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
75 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
76 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
77 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
78 changes introduced in v5.90080.
80 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
81 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
82 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
83 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
84 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
85 note posted a few months ago.
86 - Added my name to the contributors list
88 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
89 - Merged changes from 5.90078
90 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
91 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
92 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
93 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
94 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
95 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
96 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
97 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
98 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
99 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
100 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
102 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
103 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
104 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
106 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
107 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
108 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
109 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
110 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
111 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
112 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
113 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
114 has already been called (and headers already sent).
115 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
116 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
118 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
119 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
120 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
122 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
123 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
126 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
127 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
128 existing Plack conventions.
129 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
130 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
131 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
132 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
133 don't bubble back up to the main application.
134 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
135 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
136 I highly suggest you test this release.
137 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
138 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
139 correct if incorrect :)
140 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
141 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
142 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
143 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
144 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
145 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
146 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
147 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
148 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
150 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
151 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
152 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
154 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
155 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
156 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
157 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
161 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
163 - updated year in copyright notices
166 - POD corrections (sergey++)
167 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
168 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
169 trouble. (davewood++);
170 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
171 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
172 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
175 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
176 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
177 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
178 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
179 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
182 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
183 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
184 HTTP Exception middleware.
187 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
188 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
189 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
190 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
191 you really need to review this exploit.
194 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
197 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
198 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
199 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
200 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
202 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
205 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
206 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
207 so you can go to hunt it out.
210 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
211 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
212 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
213 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
214 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
215 - Added Italian translation of default error.
218 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
221 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
222 certain tests. No other changes.
225 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
226 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
227 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
229 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
231 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
233 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
237 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
238 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
239 questions or problems!
240 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
241 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
242 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
243 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
244 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
245 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
246 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
247 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
248 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
251 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
252 - documentation and test fixes
255 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
256 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
257 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
258 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
259 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
260 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
261 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
264 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
265 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
268 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
269 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
270 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
271 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
272 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
273 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
274 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
275 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
277 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
280 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
281 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
284 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
285 introduced by a change in December.
288 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
291 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
292 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
293 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
294 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
295 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
298 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
299 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
300 reported while installing.
301 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
302 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
303 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
304 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
305 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
306 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
307 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
308 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
309 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
310 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
311 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
312 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
313 - update copyright notices.
315 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
316 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
317 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
318 fails to install (sorry).
319 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
320 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
321 middleware deal with it.
323 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
324 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
325 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
326 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
327 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
328 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
329 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
330 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
331 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
333 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
334 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
335 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
336 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
337 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
338 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
339 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
340 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
341 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
342 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
344 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
345 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
346 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
347 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
351 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
352 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
353 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
354 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
355 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
356 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
360 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
361 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
362 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
364 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
365 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
366 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
368 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
369 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
370 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
371 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
373 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
374 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
375 - Various POD formatting fixed.
376 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
377 accept and issues that might arise.
380 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
381 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
384 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
385 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
386 for internal methods:
388 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
389 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
390 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
392 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
393 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
394 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
395 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
397 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
398 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
399 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
401 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
402 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
403 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
404 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
405 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
407 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
408 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
409 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
410 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
411 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
412 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
413 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
414 cases to reflect this change.
416 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
417 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
418 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
419 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
420 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
421 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
422 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
423 those keys already exist). Keys added:
424 - plack.request.query
426 - plack.request.merged
427 - plack.request.http.body
428 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
429 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
430 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
431 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
432 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
433 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
434 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
435 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
436 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
437 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
438 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
439 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
440 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
441 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
442 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
443 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
444 is a scalar or arrayref.
445 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
446 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
448 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
449 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
450 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
452 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
453 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
454 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
455 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
456 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
457 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
458 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
459 a development setup (ether++)
461 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
462 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
463 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
464 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
465 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
466 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
467 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
468 case t/data_handler.t
470 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
471 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
472 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
473 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
474 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
477 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
478 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
479 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
480 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
482 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
484 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
488 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
489 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
490 this fixes all of them.
491 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
492 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
493 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
494 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
496 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
499 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
500 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
501 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
502 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
503 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
504 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
505 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
507 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
508 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
509 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
510 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
511 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
512 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
514 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
515 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
516 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
517 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
518 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
519 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
520 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
521 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
523 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
526 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
527 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
528 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
529 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
530 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
531 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
533 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
534 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
535 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
536 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
537 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
538 - smarter validation around action attributes.
541 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
542 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
543 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
544 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
545 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
546 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
547 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
548 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
549 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
550 in behavior is compatible on its own.
551 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
552 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
553 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
554 - Some test and documentation improvements
556 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
557 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
558 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
559 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
562 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
563 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
566 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
567 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
569 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
570 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
572 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
574 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
575 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
577 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
579 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
580 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
581 of request or response classes.
583 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
584 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
585 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
586 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
587 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
588 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
589 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
590 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
591 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
592 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
594 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
595 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
596 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
597 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
598 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
600 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
602 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
603 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
605 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
607 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
608 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
609 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
612 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
615 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
618 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
619 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
621 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
624 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
627 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
629 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
631 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
633 Distribution META.yml changes:
634 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
635 mis-parses from the documentation.
636 - x_authority key added.
639 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
640 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
642 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
643 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
644 is less than helpful.
646 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
647 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
648 in bleadperl. RT#76437
650 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
651 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
654 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
655 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
657 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
658 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
659 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
661 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
664 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
665 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
666 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
667 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
668 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
669 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
671 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
673 - --background option for the server script now only closes
674 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
675 and other loggers which open a file handle when
676 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
677 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
678 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
681 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
684 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
685 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
686 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
687 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
689 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
692 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
695 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
696 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
697 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
698 included when not running from a checkout.
700 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
702 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
703 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
704 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
706 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
708 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
710 New features and refactoring:
711 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
712 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
713 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
715 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
716 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
717 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
720 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
721 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
722 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
724 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
726 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
727 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
728 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
729 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
730 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
731 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
733 Back compatibility fixes:
734 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
735 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
736 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
739 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
742 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
743 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
744 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
746 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
747 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
748 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
750 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
753 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
754 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
755 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
756 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
757 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
760 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
761 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
763 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
764 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
765 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
767 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
770 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
771 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
772 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
773 get them passed through to the application.
776 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
777 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
778 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
779 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
782 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
783 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
784 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
785 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
787 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
788 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
789 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
791 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
792 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
794 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
798 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
799 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
800 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
801 whereas before you had to say:
802 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
803 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
804 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
807 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
808 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
809 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
810 scripts in the application.
811 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
812 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
813 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
818 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
820 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
821 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
822 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
823 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
824 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
825 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
826 and provide an alternative.
828 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
832 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
835 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
838 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
840 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
841 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
842 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
843 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
844 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
845 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
849 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
850 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
852 Backward compatibility fixes:
854 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
855 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
859 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
860 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
862 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
864 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
866 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
867 Backward compatibility fixes:
869 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
870 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
872 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
876 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
877 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
878 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
880 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
882 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
883 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
885 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
889 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
891 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
893 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
895 Backward compatibility fixes:
897 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
899 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
900 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
901 for backward compatibility.
905 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
906 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
910 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
911 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
912 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
914 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
916 Backward compatibility fixes:
918 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
919 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
923 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
926 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
927 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
928 example) Coro is loaded.
930 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
931 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
933 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
934 using MooseX::Deamonize
936 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
937 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
938 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
939 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
940 deployed in these environments.
944 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
948 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
949 file for your application.
951 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
955 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
956 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
958 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
961 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
962 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
964 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
966 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
967 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
969 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
970 IO::Handle's behaviour.
972 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
973 was not breaking out correctly
975 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
976 to also work in the $c->component method.
978 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
979 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
980 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
982 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
984 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
986 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
988 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
989 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
992 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
994 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
997 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1001 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1002 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1003 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1005 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1008 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1010 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1011 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1012 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1014 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1017 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1018 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1019 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1020 the new major version of Catalyst.
1023 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1024 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1026 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1029 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1030 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1031 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1033 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1035 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1036 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1037 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1039 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1040 in Catalyst::execute
1042 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1043 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1044 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1046 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1047 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1051 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1052 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1054 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1055 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1056 developers without changing their application code.
1058 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1061 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1062 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1063 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1064 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1065 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1067 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1068 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1070 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1072 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1076 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1077 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1078 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1079 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1080 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1081 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1082 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1084 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1085 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1086 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1087 class, please tell us *now*.
1089 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1092 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1094 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1095 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1096 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1097 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1098 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1099 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1102 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1103 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1104 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1105 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1106 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1107 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1108 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1109 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1111 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1112 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1113 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1114 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1115 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1116 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1117 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1118 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1121 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1122 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1124 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1127 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1128 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1132 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1133 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1135 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1138 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1140 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1141 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1143 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1145 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1148 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1150 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1153 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1154 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1155 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1157 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1160 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1162 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1163 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1164 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1165 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1166 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1168 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1171 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1172 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1173 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1176 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1177 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1182 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1185 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1188 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1189 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1190 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1191 the default action creation.
1194 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1195 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1196 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1197 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1198 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1199 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1200 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1203 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1205 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1207 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1209 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1212 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1213 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1214 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1215 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1216 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1219 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1220 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1223 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1224 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1225 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1226 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1228 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1231 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1232 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1233 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1234 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1235 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1236 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1237 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1238 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1241 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1242 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1243 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1245 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1246 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1247 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1248 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1251 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1252 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1255 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1256 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1259 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1262 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1263 the content type and content length if available.
1265 Refactoring / optimizations:
1266 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1267 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1268 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1269 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1270 screen as easy to write.
1271 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1272 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1273 in parameter filtering (for example).
1274 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1275 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1276 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1277 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1278 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1281 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1282 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1283 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1284 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1286 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1289 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1290 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1292 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1295 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1296 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1298 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1301 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1302 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1303 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1304 which should not be encoded.
1305 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1306 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1308 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1309 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1310 any set of args/captures.
1312 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1313 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1315 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1319 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1321 - Various minor typo fixes.
1324 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1326 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1329 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1330 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1331 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1334 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1335 - Clarify documentation about debug
1338 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1339 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1340 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1342 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1345 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1346 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1350 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1351 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1353 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1354 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1355 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1356 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1357 argv key in the options hash.
1358 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1359 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1360 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1361 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1363 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1367 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1368 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1369 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1370 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1371 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1373 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1377 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1378 encoding test controller.
1380 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1382 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1383 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1384 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1385 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1387 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1388 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1389 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1390 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1391 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1393 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1397 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1398 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1399 less packed with information of no use.
1403 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1405 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1407 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1408 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1409 the single character '0'.
1410 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1413 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1414 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1415 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1417 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1419 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1420 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1421 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1422 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1423 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1424 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1425 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1426 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1427 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1428 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1429 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1430 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1432 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1433 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1435 Refactoring / cleanups:
1436 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1437 (and then skipped) normally.
1440 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1442 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1445 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1446 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1447 on the old behaviour.
1449 Refactoring / cleanups:
1450 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1451 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1453 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1456 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1457 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1458 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1459 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1460 as there is no recommended alternative.
1461 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1462 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1463 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1464 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1465 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1466 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1467 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1468 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1469 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1470 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1471 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1472 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1473 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1474 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1477 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1478 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1479 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1480 deprecated and causes warnings).
1481 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1482 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1483 in the correct order.
1484 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1486 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1487 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1488 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1491 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1492 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1493 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1494 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1495 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1497 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1498 exception classes need to implement.
1499 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1500 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1503 Refactoring / cleanups:
1504 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1505 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1506 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1507 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1508 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1509 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1510 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1512 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1515 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1516 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1517 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1518 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1520 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1521 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1522 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1525 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1526 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1529 Refactoring / cleanups:
1530 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1531 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1532 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1533 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1534 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1536 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1539 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1540 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1541 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1542 now loaded at most once + tests.
1543 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1544 is returned to 'actions'.
1545 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1546 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1548 Refactoring / cleanups:
1549 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1550 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1553 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1554 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1555 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1557 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1560 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1561 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1564 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1567 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1568 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1569 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1571 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1574 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1575 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1576 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1578 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1581 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1582 application class immutable without that option.
1583 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1584 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1586 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1587 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1588 (hopefully) future versions.
1589 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1590 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1591 variables (RT#48555)
1592 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1594 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1595 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1596 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1597 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1598 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1600 Refactoring / cleanups:
1601 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1602 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1603 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1604 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1605 known issues with 5.8.3.
1606 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1607 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1610 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1611 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1612 for the controller namespace
1613 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1614 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1615 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1616 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1617 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1618 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1620 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1621 frontend port (jshirley)
1622 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1626 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1627 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1628 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1629 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1632 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1635 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1636 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1637 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1639 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1640 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1641 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1642 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1643 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1644 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1648 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1649 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1650 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1653 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1656 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1657 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1659 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1660 in some environments.
1661 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1662 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1663 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1664 except works correctly with closures.
1665 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1666 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1667 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1668 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1669 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1670 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1671 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1674 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1675 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1676 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1677 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1678 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1679 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1681 Refactoring / cleanups:
1682 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1683 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1684 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1685 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1687 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1688 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1689 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1691 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1692 again in Catalyst::Test
1694 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1697 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1698 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1701 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1704 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1705 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1706 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1708 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1711 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1712 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1715 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1716 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1720 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1721 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1722 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.

1848 the correct metaclass
1849 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1850 the restarter process

1852 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1854 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1855 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1856 immutable restart correctly.
1858 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1859 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1877 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1878 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate

1941 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1943 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1944 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1970 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1971 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
