1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
6 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
7 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
8 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
9 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
10 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
11 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
13 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
15 - --background option for the server script now only closes
16 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
17 and other loggers which open a file handle when
18 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
19 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
20 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
23 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
26 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
27 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
28 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
29 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
31 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
34 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
37 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
38 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
39 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
40 included when not running from a checkout.
42 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
44 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
45 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
46 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
48 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
50 New features and refactoring:
51 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
52 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
53 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
55 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
56 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
57 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
60 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
61 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
62 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
64 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
66 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
67 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
68 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
69 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
70 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
71 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
73 Back compatibility fixes:
74 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
75 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
76 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
79 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
82 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
83 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
84 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
86 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
87 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
88 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
90 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
93 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
94 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
95 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
96 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
97 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
100 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
101 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
103 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
104 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
105 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
107 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
110 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
111 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
112 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
113 get them passed through to the application.
116 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
117 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
118 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
119 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
122 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
123 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
124 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
125 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
127 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
128 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
129 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
131 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
132 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
134 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
138 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
139 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
140 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
141 whereas before you had to say:
142 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
143 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
144 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
147 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
148 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
149 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
150 scripts in the application.
151 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
152 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
153 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
158 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
160 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
161 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
162 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
163 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
164 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
165 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
166 and provide an alternative.
168 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
172 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
175 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
178 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
180 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
181 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
182 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
183 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
184 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
185 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
189 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
190 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
192 Backward compatibility fixes:
194 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
195 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
199 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
200 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
202 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
204 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
206 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
207 Backward compatibility fixes:
209 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
210 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
212 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
216 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
217 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
218 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
220 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
222 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
223 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
225 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
229 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
231 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
233 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
235 Backward compatibility fixes:
237 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
239 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
240 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
241 for backward compatibility.
245 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
246 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
250 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
251 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
252 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
254 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
256 Backward compatibility fixes:
258 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
259 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
263 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
266 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
267 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
268 example) Coro is loaded.
270 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
271 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
273 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
274 using MooseX::Deamonize
276 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
277 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
278 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
279 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
280 deployed in these environments.
284 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
288 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
289 file for your application.
291 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
295 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
296 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
298 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
301 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
302 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
304 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
306 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
307 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
309 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
310 IO::Handle's behaviour.
312 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
313 was not breaking out correctly
315 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
316 to also work in the $c->component method.
318 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
319 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
320 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
322 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
324 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
326 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
328 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
329 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
332 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
334 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
337 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
341 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
342 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
343 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
345 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
348 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
350 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
351 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
352 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
354 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
357 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
358 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
359 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
360 the new major version of Catalyst.
363 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
364 of Catalyst has been much improved.
366 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
369 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
370 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
371 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
373 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
375 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
376 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
377 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
379 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
382 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
383 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
384 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
386 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
387 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
391 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
392 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
394 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
395 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
396 developers without changing their application code.
398 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
401 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
402 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
403 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
404 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
405 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
407 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
408 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
410 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
412 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
416 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
417 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
418 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
419 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
420 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
421 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
422 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
424 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
425 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
426 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
427 class, please tell us *now*.
429 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
432 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
434 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
435 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
436 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
437 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
438 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
439 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
442 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
443 the Content-Length header appropriately)
444 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
445 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
446 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
447 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
448 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
449 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
451 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
452 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
453 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
454 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
455 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
456 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
457 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
458 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
461 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
462 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
464 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
467 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
468 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
472 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
473 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
475 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
478 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
480 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
481 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
483 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
485 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
488 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
490 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
493 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
494 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
495 load Utils before MyApp.pm
497 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
500 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
502 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
503 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
504 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
505 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
506 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
508 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
511 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
512 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
513 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
516 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
517 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
522 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
525 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
528 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
529 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
530 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
531 the default action creation.
534 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
535 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
536 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
537 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
538 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
539 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
540 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
543 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
545 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
547 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
549 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
552 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
553 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
554 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
555 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
556 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
559 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
560 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
563 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
564 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
565 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
566 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
568 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
571 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
572 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
573 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
574 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
575 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
576 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
577 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
578 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
581 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
582 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
583 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
585 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
586 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
587 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
588 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
591 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
592 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
595 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
596 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
599 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
602 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
603 the content type and content length if available.
605 Refactoring / optimizations:
606 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
607 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
608 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
609 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
610 screen as easy to write.
611 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
612 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
613 in parameter filtering (for example).
614 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
615 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
616 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
617 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
618 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
621 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
622 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
623 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
624 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
626 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
629 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
630 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
632 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
635 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
636 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
638 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
641 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
642 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
643 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
644 which should not be encoded.
645 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
646 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
648 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
649 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
650 any set of args/captures.
652 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
653 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
655 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
659 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
661 - Various minor typo fixes.
664 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
666 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
669 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
670 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
671 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
674 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
675 - Clarify documentation about debug
678 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
679 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
680 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
682 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
685 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
686 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
690 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
691 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
693 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
694 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
695 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
696 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
697 argv key in the options hash.
698 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
699 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
700 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
701 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
703 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
707 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
708 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
709 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
710 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
711 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
713 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
717 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
718 encoding test controller.
720 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
722 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
723 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
724 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
725 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
727 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
728 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
729 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
730 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
731 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
733 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
737 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
738 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
739 less packed with information of no use.
743 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
745 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
747 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
748 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
749 the single character '0'.
750 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
753 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
754 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
755 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
757 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
759 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
760 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
761 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
762 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
763 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
764 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
765 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
766 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
767 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
768 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
769 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
770 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
772 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
773 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
775 Refactoring / cleanups:
776 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
777 (and then skipped) normally.
780 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
782 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
785 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
786 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
787 on the old behaviour.
789 Refactoring / cleanups:
790 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
791 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
793 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
796 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
797 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
798 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
799 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
800 as there is no recommended alternative.
801 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
802 fallback for fully qualified component names.
803 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
804 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
805 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
806 startup, rather than with the first hit.
807 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
808 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
809 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
810 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
811 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
812 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
813 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
814 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
817 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
818 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
819 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
820 deprecated and causes warnings).
821 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
822 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
823 in the correct order.
824 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
826 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
827 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
828 is deprecated (RT#51489)
831 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
832 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
833 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
834 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
835 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
837 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
838 exception classes need to implement.
839 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
840 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
843 Refactoring / cleanups:
844 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
845 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
846 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
847 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
848 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
849 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
850 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
852 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
855 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
856 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
857 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
858 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
860 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
861 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
862 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
865 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
866 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
869 Refactoring / cleanups:
870 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
871 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
872 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
873 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
874 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
876 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
879 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
880 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
881 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
882 now loaded at most once + tests.
883 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
884 is returned to 'actions'.
885 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
886 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
888 Refactoring / cleanups:
889 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
890 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
893 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
894 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
895 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
897 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
900 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
901 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
904 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
907 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
908 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
909 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
911 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
914 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
915 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
916 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
918 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
921 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
922 application class immutable without that option.
923 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
924 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
926 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
927 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
928 (hopefully) future versions.
929 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
930 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
932 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
934 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
935 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
936 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
937 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
938 Request-URI of the Request-Line
940 Refactoring / cleanups:
941 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
942 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
943 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
944 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
945 known issues with 5.8.3.
946 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
947 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
950 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
951 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
952 for the controller namespace
953 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
954 expand_component_module (rjbs)
955 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
956 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
957 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
958 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
960 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
961 frontend port (jshirley)
962 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
966 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
967 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
968 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
969 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
972 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
975 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
976 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
977 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
979 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
980 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
981 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
982 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
983 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
984 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
988 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
989 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
990 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
993 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
996 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
997 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
999 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1000 in some environments.
1001 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1002 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1003 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1004 except works correctly with closures.
1005 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1006 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1007 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1008 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1009 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1010 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1011 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1014 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1015 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1016 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1017 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1018 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1019 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1021 Refactoring / cleanups:
1022 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1023 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1024 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1025 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1027 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1028 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1029 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1031 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1032 again in Catalyst::Test
1034 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1037 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1038 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1041 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1044 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1045 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1046 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1048 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1051 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1052 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1055 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1056 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1060 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1061 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1062 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1063 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1064 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1066 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1067 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1068 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1069 controller naming. (random)
1070 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1071 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1072 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1073 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1074 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1076 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1078 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1079 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1080 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1082 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1083 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1084 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1085 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1086 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1087 to report 'Unknown Error'
1088 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1089 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1090 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1091 parse_on_demand is on
1093 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1094 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1095 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1096 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1097 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1098 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1099 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1100 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1101 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1103 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1104 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1105 Test::Aggregate is available.
1106 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1107 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1108 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1109 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1110 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1111 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1112 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1113 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1114 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1115 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1116 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1117 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1118 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1119 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1120 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1121 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1122 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1123 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1124 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1127 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1128 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1129 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1130 configuration in your application.
1132 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1133 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1134 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1136 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1137 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1139 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1140 has been made private
1141 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1142 the request parameters with undef + test
1143 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1144 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1146 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1148 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1149 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1150 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1152 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1153 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1154 warning on recent Moose versions.
1155 - Add delta documentation
1156 - Clean up recursion errors
1157 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1158 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1160 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1161 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1163 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1164 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1165 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1166 tries to chain to itself
1168 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1169 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1170 - Tests for this (radek)
1171 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1172 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1173 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1174 - Tests for this (radek)
1175 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1176 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1177 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1178 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1180 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1181 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1183 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1185 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1186 in production versions
1187 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1188 the correct metaclass
1189 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1190 the restarter process
1191 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1192 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1194 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1195 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1196 immutable restart correctly.
1198 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1199 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1200 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1201 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1202 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1203 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1204 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1205 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1206 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1207 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1208 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1209 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1210 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1211 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1212 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1213 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1214 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1215 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
