1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
5 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
7 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
10 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
11 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
14 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
15 with type constraints.
16 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
17 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
18 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
19 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
20 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
21 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
24 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
25 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
27 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
28 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
29 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
30 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
33 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
34 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
35 to define behavior better.
38 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
40 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
41 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
42 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
43 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
46 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
47 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
48 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
49 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
50 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
51 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
52 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
53 - Merged Pull Requests:
54 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
55 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
56 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
57 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
58 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
59 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
62 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
63 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
66 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
67 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
68 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
69 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
70 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
71 that has proven to work for years.)
74 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
75 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
76 even though they were actually created).
79 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
80 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
81 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
82 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
83 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
85 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
86 - Added swanky github badges.
87 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
88 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
89 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
90 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
93 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
94 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
95 raise an error when registering its actions.
96 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
97 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
98 the injection and do custom injection types.
100 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
101 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
102 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
104 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
105 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
106 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
107 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
109 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
110 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
111 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
112 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
113 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
114 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
115 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
116 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
117 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
118 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
120 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
121 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
122 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
123 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
124 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
125 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
126 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
127 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
129 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
130 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
131 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
132 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
133 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
134 stand alone classes...).
135 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
136 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
137 report any stats related issues.
138 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
139 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
140 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
141 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
142 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
143 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
144 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
146 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
147 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
148 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
149 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
151 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
152 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
153 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
154 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
155 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
156 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
159 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
160 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
161 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
162 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
163 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
164 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
165 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
166 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
167 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
168 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
169 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
170 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
173 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
174 trying to create parameters twice.
175 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
176 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
177 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
178 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
179 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
180 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
181 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
182 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
183 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
184 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
185 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
188 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
189 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
190 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
191 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
192 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
193 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
196 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
197 to prevent it happening again.
200 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
201 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
202 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
203 test case to prevent regressions.
206 - Minor documentation corrections
207 - Make the '79 development series stable
209 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
210 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
211 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
212 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
213 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
215 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
216 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
217 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
218 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
219 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
220 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
221 changes introduced in v5.90080.
223 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
224 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
225 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
226 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
227 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
228 note posted a few months ago.
229 - Added my name to the contributors list
231 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
232 - Merged changes from 5.90078
233 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
234 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
235 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
236 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
237 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
238 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
239 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
240 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
241 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
242 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
243 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
245 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
246 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
247 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
249 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
250 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
251 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
252 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
253 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
254 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
255 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
256 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
257 has already been called (and headers already sent).
258 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
259 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
261 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
262 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
263 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
265 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
266 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
269 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
270 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
271 existing Plack conventions.
272 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
273 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
274 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
275 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
276 don't bubble back up to the main application.
277 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
278 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
279 I highly suggest you test this release.
280 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
281 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
282 correct if incorrect :)
283 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
284 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
285 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
286 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
287 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
288 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
289 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
290 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
291 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
293 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
294 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
295 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
297 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
298 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
299 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
300 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
304 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
306 - updated year in copyright notices
309 - POD corrections (sergey++)
310 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
311 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
312 trouble. (davewood++);
313 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
314 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
315 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
318 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
319 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
320 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
321 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
322 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
325 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
326 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
327 HTTP Exception middleware.
330 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
331 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
332 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
333 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
334 you really need to review this exploit.
337 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
340 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
341 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
342 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
343 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
345 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
348 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
349 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
350 so you can go to hunt it out.
353 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
354 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
355 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
356 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
357 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
358 - Added Italian translation of default error.
361 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
364 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
365 certain tests. No other changes.
368 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
369 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
370 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
372 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
374 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
376 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
380 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
381 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
382 questions or problems!
383 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
384 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
385 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
386 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
387 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
388 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
389 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
390 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
391 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
394 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
395 - documentation and test fixes
398 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
399 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
400 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
401 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
402 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
403 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
404 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
407 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
408 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
411 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
412 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
413 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
414 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
415 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
416 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
417 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
418 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
420 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
423 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
424 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
427 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
428 introduced by a change in December.
431 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
434 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
435 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
436 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
437 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
438 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
441 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
442 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
443 reported while installing.
444 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
445 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
446 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
447 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
448 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
449 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
450 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
451 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
452 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
453 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
454 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
455 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
456 - update copyright notices.
458 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
459 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
460 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
461 fails to install (sorry).
462 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
463 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
464 middleware deal with it.
466 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
467 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
468 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
469 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
470 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
471 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
472 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
473 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
474 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
476 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
477 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
478 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
479 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
480 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
481 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
482 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
483 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
484 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
485 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
487 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
488 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
489 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
490 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
494 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
495 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
496 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
497 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
498 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
499 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
503 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
504 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
505 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
507 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
508 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
509 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
511 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
512 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
513 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
514 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
516 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
517 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
518 - Various POD formatting fixed.
519 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
520 accept and issues that might arise.
523 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
524 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
527 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
528 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
529 for internal methods:
531 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
532 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
533 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
535 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
536 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
537 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
538 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
540 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
541 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
542 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
544 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
545 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
546 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
547 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
548 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
550 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
551 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
552 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
553 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
554 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
555 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
556 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
557 cases to reflect this change.
559 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
560 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
561 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
562 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
563 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
564 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
565 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
566 those keys already exist). Keys added:
567 - plack.request.query
569 - plack.request.merged
570 - plack.request.http.body
571 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
572 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
573 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
574 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
575 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
576 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
577 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
578 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
579 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
580 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
581 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
582 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
583 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
584 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
585 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
586 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
587 is a scalar or arrayref.
588 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
589 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
591 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
592 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
593 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
595 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
596 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
597 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
598 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
599 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
600 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
601 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
602 a development setup (ether++)
604 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
605 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
606 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
607 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
608 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
609 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
610 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
611 case t/data_handler.t
613 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
614 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
615 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
616 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
617 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
620 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
621 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
622 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
623 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
625 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
627 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
631 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
632 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
633 this fixes all of them.
634 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
635 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
636 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
637 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
639 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
642 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
643 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
644 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
645 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
646 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
647 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
648 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
650 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
651 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
652 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
653 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
654 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
655 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
657 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
658 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
659 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
660 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
661 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
662 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
663 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
664 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
666 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
669 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
670 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
671 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
672 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
673 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
674 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
676 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
677 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
678 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
679 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
680 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
681 - smarter validation around action attributes.
684 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
685 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
686 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
687 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
688 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
689 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
690 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
691 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
692 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
693 in behavior is compatible on its own.
694 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
695 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
696 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
697 - Some test and documentation improvements
699 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
700 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
701 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
702 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
705 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
706 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
709 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
710 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
712 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
713 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
715 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
717 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
718 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
720 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
722 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
723 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
724 of request or response classes.
726 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
727 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
728 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
729 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
730 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
731 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
732 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
733 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
734 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
735 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
737 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
738 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
739 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
740 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
741 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
743 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
745 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
746 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
748 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
750 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
751 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
752 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
755 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
758 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
761 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
762 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
764 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
767 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
770 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
772 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
774 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
776 Distribution META.yml changes:
777 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
778 mis-parses from the documentation.
779 - x_authority key added.
782 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
783 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
785 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
786 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
787 is less than helpful.
789 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
790 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
791 in bleadperl. RT#76437
793 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
794 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
797 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
798 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
800 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
801 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
802 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
804 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
807 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
808 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
809 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
810 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
811 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
812 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
814 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
816 - --background option for the server script now only closes
817 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
818 and other loggers which open a file handle when
819 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
820 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
821 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
824 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
827 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
828 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
829 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
830 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
832 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
835 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
838 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
839 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
840 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
841 included when not running from a checkout.
843 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
845 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
846 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
847 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
849 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
851 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
853 New features and refactoring:
854 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
855 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
856 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
858 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
859 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
860 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
863 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
864 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
865 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
867 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
869 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
870 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
871 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
872 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
873 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
874 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
876 Back compatibility fixes:
877 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
878 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
879 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
882 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
885 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
886 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
887 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
889 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
890 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
891 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
893 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
896 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
897 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
898 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
899 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
900 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
903 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
904 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
906 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
907 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
908 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
910 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
913 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
914 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
915 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
916 get them passed through to the application.
919 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
920 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
921 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
922 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
925 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
926 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
927 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
928 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
930 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
931 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
932 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
934 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
935 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
937 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
941 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
942 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
943 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
944 whereas before you had to say:
945 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
946 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
947 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
950 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
951 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
952 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
953 scripts in the application.
954 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
955 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
956 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
961 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
963 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
964 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
965 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
966 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
967 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
968 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
969 and provide an alternative.
971 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
975 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
978 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
981 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
983 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
984 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
985 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
986 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
987 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
988 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
992 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
993 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
995 Backward compatibility fixes:
997 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
998 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1000 Documentation fixes:
1002 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1003 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1005 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1007 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1009 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1010 Backward compatibility fixes:
1012 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1013 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1015 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1017 Documentation fixes:
1019 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1020 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1021 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1023 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1025 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1026 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1028 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1030 Cut another release.
1032 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1034 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1036 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1038 Backward compatibility fixes:
1040 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1042 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1043 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1044 for backward compatibility.
1048 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1049 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1053 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1054 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1055 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1057 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1059 Backward compatibility fixes:
1061 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1062 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1066 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1067 been made immutable.
1069 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1070 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1071 example) Coro is loaded.
1073 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1074 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1076 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1077 using MooseX::Deamonize
1079 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1080 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1081 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1082 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1083 deployed in these environments.
1087 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1091 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1092 file for your application.
1094 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1098 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1099 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1101 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1104 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1105 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1107 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1109 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1110 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1112 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1113 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1115 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1116 was not breaking out correctly
1118 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1119 to also work in the $c->component method.
1121 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1122 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1123 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1125 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1127 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1129 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1131 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1132 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1135 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1137 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1140 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1141 not being installed.
1144 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1145 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1146 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1148 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1151 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1153 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1154 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1155 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1157 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1160 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1161 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1162 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1163 the new major version of Catalyst.
1166 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1167 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1169 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1172 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1173 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1174 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1176 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1178 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1179 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1180 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1182 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1183 in Catalyst::execute
1185 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1186 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1187 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1189 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1190 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1194 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1195 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1197 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1198 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1199 developers without changing their application code.
1201 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1204 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1205 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1206 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1207 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1208 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1210 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1211 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1213 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1215 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1219 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1220 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1221 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1222 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1223 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1224 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1225 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1227 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1228 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1229 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1230 class, please tell us *now*.
1232 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1235 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1237 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1238 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1239 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1240 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1241 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1242 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1245 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1246 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1247 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1248 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1249 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1250 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1251 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1252 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1254 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1255 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1256 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1257 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1258 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1259 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1260 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1261 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1264 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1265 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1267 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1270 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1271 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1275 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1276 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1278 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1281 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1283 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1284 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1286 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1288 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1291 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1293 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1296 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1297 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1298 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1300 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1303 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1305 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1306 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1307 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1308 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1309 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1311 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1314 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1315 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1316 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1319 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1320 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1325 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1328 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1331 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1332 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1333 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1334 the default action creation.
1337 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1338 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1339 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1340 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1341 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1342 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1343 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1346 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1348 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1350 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1352 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1355 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1356 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1357 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1358 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1359 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1362 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1363 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1366 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1367 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1368 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1369 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1371 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1374 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1375 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1376 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1377 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1378 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1379 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1380 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1381 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1384 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1385 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1386 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1388 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1389 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1390 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1391 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1394 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1395 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1398 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1399 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1402 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1405 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1406 the content type and content length if available.
1408 Refactoring / optimizations:
1409 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1410 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1411 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1412 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1413 screen as easy to write.
1414 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1415 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1416 in parameter filtering (for example).
1417 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1418 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1419 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1420 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1421 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1424 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1425 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1426 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1427 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1429 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1432 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1433 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1435 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1438 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1439 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1441 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1444 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1445 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1446 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1447 which should not be encoded.
1448 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1449 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1451 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1452 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1453 any set of args/captures.
1455 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1456 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1458 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1462 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1464 - Various minor typo fixes.
1467 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1469 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1472 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1473 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1474 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1477 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1478 - Clarify documentation about debug
1481 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1482 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1483 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1485 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1488 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1489 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1493 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1494 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1496 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1497 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1498 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1499 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1500 argv key in the options hash.
1501 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1502 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1503 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1504 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1506 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1510 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1511 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1512 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1513 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1514 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1516 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1520 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1521 encoding test controller.
1523 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1525 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1526 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1528 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1530 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1531 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1532 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1533 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1534 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1536 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1540 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1541 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1542 less packed with information of no use.
1546 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1548 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1550 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1551 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1552 the single character '0'.
1553 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1556 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1557 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1558 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1560 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1562 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1563 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1564 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1565 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1566 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1567 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1568 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1569 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1570 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1571 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1572 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1573 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1575 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1576 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1578 Refactoring / cleanups:
1579 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1580 (and then skipped) normally.
1583 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1585 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1588 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1589 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1590 on the old behaviour.
1592 Refactoring / cleanups:
1593 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1594 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1596 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1599 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1600 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1601 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1602 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1603 as there is no recommended alternative.
1604 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1605 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1606 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1607 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1608 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1609 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1610 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1611 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1612 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1613 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1614 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1615 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1616 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1617 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1620 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1621 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1622 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1623 deprecated and causes warnings).
1624 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1625 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1626 in the correct order.
1627 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1629 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1630 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1631 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1634 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1635 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1636 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1637 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1638 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1640 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1641 exception classes need to implement.
1642 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1643 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1646 Refactoring / cleanups:
1647 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1648 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1649 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1650 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1651 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1652 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1653 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1655 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1658 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1659 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1660 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1661 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1663 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1664 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1665 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1668 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1669 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1672 Refactoring / cleanups:
1673 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1674 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1675 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1676 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1677 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1679 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1682 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1683 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1684 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1685 now loaded at most once + tests.
1686 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1687 is returned to 'actions'.
1688 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1689 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1691 Refactoring / cleanups:
1692 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1693 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1696 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1697 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1698 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1700 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1703 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1704 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1707 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1710 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1711 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1712 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1714 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1717 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1718 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1719 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1721 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1724 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1725 application class immutable without that option.
1726 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1727 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1729 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1730 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1731 (hopefully) future versions.
1732 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1733 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1734 variables (RT#48555)
1735 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1737 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1738 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1739 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1740 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1741 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1743 Refactoring / cleanups:
1744 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1745 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1746 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1747 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1748 known issues with 5.8.3.
1749 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1750 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1753 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1754 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1755 for the controller namespace
1756 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1757 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1758 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1759 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1760 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1761 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1763 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1764 frontend port (jshirley)
1765 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1769 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1770 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1771 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1772 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.

1778 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1779 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1780 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1782 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1783 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1784 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1785 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1786 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1787 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1791 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1792 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1793 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1796 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1799 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1800 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1802 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1803 in some environments.
1804 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1805 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1806 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1807 except works correctly with closures.
1808 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1809 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1810 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1811 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1812 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1813 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1814 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1817 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1818 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1819 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1820 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1821 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1822 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1824 Refactoring / cleanups:
1825 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1826 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1827 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1828 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1830 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1831 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1832 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1834 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1835 again in Catalyst::Test
1837 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1841 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1844 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1847 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1848 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1849 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1851 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1854 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1855 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1858 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1859 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1863 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1864 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1865 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1866 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1867 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1869 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1870 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1871 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1872 controller naming. (random)
1873 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1874 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1875 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer

1883 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1885 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1886 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1887 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1888 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1889 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1890 to report 'Unknown Error'
1891 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1892 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1893 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1894 parse_on_demand is on
1896 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1897 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1898 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1899 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1903 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1904 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1909 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1910 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1911 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1912 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1913 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1923 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1924 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1925 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1926 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1927 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1930 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1931 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1932 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1933 configuration in your application.
1935 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1936 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1966 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1967 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1968 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1969 tries to chain to itself
1971 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1972 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1973 - Tests for this (radek)
1974 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1975 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1976 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly

1988 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1989 in production versions
1990 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1991 the correct metaclass
1992 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1993 the restarter process
1994 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1995 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1997 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1998 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1999 immutable restart correctly.
2001 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2002 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

2018 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2019 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2020 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2021 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2023 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2024 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

2063 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2064 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

2075 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2076 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2084 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2086 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2087 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2235 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2236 throw warnings for two reasons:
2237 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2238 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2240 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2241 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2242 method with a regex as the argument

2285 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
2286 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
