1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
4 - Merged changes from 5.90078
6 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
7 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
8 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
10 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
11 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
12 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
13 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
14 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
15 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
16 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the reponse should be encoded.
17 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
18 has allready been called (and headers already sent).
19 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
20 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
22 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
23 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
24 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
26 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
27 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
30 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
31 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
32 existing Plack conventions.
33 - Modify Catayst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
34 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
35 - Modified Catayst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
36 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
37 don't bubble back up to the main application.
38 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
39 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
40 I highly suggest you test this release.
41 - We alway do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
42 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
43 correct if incorrect :)
44 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
45 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
46 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specificed via the encoding configuration value).
47 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
48 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
49 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
50 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
51 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
52 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
54 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
55 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional methd 'write_encoded' that just
56 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
58 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
59 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
60 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
61 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
65 - POD corrections (sergey++)
66 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthru feature
67 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
68 trouble. (davewood++);
69 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
70 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
71 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
74 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
75 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
76 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
77 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
78 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
81 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
82 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
83 HTTP Exception middleware.
86 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
87 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
88 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
89 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
90 you really need to review this exploit.
93 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
96 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
97 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
98 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
99 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
101 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
104 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
105 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
106 so you can go to hunt it out.
109 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
110 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
111 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
112 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
113 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
114 - Added italian translation of default error.
117 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
120 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
121 certain tests. No other changes.
124 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
125 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
126 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
128 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
130 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
132 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
136 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
137 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
138 questions or problems!
139 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
140 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
141 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
142 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
143 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
144 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
145 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
146 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
147 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
150 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
151 - documentation and test fixes
154 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
155 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
156 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
157 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
158 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
159 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
160 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
163 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
164 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
167 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
168 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
169 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
170 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
171 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
172 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
173 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
174 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
176 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
179 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
180 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
183 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
184 introduced by a change in December.
187 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
190 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
191 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
192 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
193 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
194 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
197 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
198 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
199 reported while installing.
200 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
201 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
202 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
203 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
204 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
205 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
206 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
207 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
208 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
209 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
210 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
211 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
212 - update copyright notices.
214 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
215 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
216 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
217 fails to install (sorry).
218 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
219 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
220 middleware deal with it.
222 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
223 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
224 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
225 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
226 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
227 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
228 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
229 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
230 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
232 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
233 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
234 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
235 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
236 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
237 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
238 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
239 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
240 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
241 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
243 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
244 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
245 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
246 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
250 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
251 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
252 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
253 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
254 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
255 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
259 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
260 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
261 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
263 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
264 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
265 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
267 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
268 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
269 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
270 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
272 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
273 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
274 - Various POD formating fixed.
275 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
276 accept and issues that might arise.
279 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
280 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
283 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
284 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
285 for internal methods:
287 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
288 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
289 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
291 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
292 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
293 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
294 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
296 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
297 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
298 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
300 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
301 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
302 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
303 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
304 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
306 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
307 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
308 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
309 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
310 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
311 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
312 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
313 cases to reflect this change.
315 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
316 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
317 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
318 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
319 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
320 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
321 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
322 those keys already exist). Keys added:
323 - plack.request.query
325 - plack.request.merged
326 - plack.request.http.body
327 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
328 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
329 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
330 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
331 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
332 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
333 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
334 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
335 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
336 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
337 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
338 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
339 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
340 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
341 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
342 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
343 is a scalar or arrayref.
344 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
345 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
347 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
348 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
349 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
351 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
352 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
353 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
354 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
355 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
356 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
357 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
358 a development setup (ether++)
360 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
361 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
362 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
363 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
364 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
365 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
366 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
367 case t/data_handler.t
369 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
370 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
371 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
372 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
373 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
376 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
377 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
378 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
379 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
381 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
383 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
387 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
388 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
389 this fixes all of them.
390 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
391 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
392 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
393 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
395 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
398 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
399 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
400 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
401 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
402 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
403 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
404 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
406 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
407 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
408 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
409 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
410 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
411 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
413 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
414 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
415 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
416 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
417 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
418 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
419 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
420 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
422 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
425 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
426 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
427 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
428 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
429 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
430 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
432 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
433 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
434 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
435 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
436 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
437 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
440 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
441 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
442 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
443 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
444 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
445 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
446 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
447 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
448 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
449 in behavior is compatible on its own.
450 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
451 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
452 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
453 - Some test and documentation improvements
455 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
456 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
457 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
458 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
461 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
462 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
465 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
466 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
468 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
469 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
471 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
473 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
474 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
476 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
478 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
479 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
480 of request or response classes.
482 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
483 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
484 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
485 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
486 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
487 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
488 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
489 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
490 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
491 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
493 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
494 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
495 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
496 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
497 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
499 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
501 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
502 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
504 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
506 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
507 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
508 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
511 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
514 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
517 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
518 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
520 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
523 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
526 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
528 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
530 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
532 Distribution META.yml changes:
533 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
534 mis-parses from the documentation.
535 - x_authority key added.
538 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
539 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
541 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
542 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
543 is less than helpful.
545 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
546 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
547 in bleadperl. RT#76437
549 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
550 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
553 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
554 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
556 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
557 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
558 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
560 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
563 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
564 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
565 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
566 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
567 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
568 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
570 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
572 - --background option for the server script now only closes
573 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
574 and other loggers which open a file handle when
575 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
576 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
577 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
580 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
583 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
584 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
585 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
586 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
588 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
591 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
594 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
595 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
596 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
597 included when not running from a checkout.
599 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
601 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
602 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
603 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
605 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
607 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
609 New features and refactoring:
610 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
611 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
612 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
614 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
615 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
616 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
619 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
620 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
621 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
623 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
625 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
626 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
627 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
628 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
629 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
630 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
632 Back compatibility fixes:
633 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
634 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
635 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
638 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
641 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
642 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
643 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
645 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
646 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
647 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
649 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
652 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
653 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
654 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
655 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
656 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
659 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
660 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
662 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
663 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
664 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
666 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
669 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
670 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
671 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
672 get them passed through to the application.
675 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
676 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
677 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
678 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
681 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
682 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
683 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
684 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
686 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
687 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
688 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
690 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
691 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
693 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
697 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
698 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
699 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
700 whereas before you had to say:
701 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
702 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
703 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
706 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
707 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
708 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
709 scripts in the application.
710 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
711 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
712 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
717 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
719 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
720 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
721 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
722 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
723 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
724 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
725 and provide an alternative.
727 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
731 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
734 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
737 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
739 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
740 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
741 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
742 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
743 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
744 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
748 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
749 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
751 Backward compatibility fixes:
753 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
754 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
758 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
759 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
761 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
763 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
765 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
766 Backward compatibility fixes:
768 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
769 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
771 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
775 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
776 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
777 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
779 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
781 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
782 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
784 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
788 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
790 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
792 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
794 Backward compatibility fixes:
796 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
798 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
799 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
800 for backward compatibility.
804 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
805 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
809 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
810 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
811 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
813 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
815 Backward compatibility fixes:
817 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
818 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
822 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
825 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
826 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
827 example) Coro is loaded.
829 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
830 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
832 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
833 using MooseX::Deamonize
835 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
836 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
837 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
838 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
839 deployed in these environments.
843 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
847 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
848 file for your application.
850 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
854 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
855 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
857 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
860 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
861 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
863 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
865 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
866 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
868 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
869 IO::Handle's behaviour.
871 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
872 was not breaking out correctly
874 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
875 to also work in the $c->component method.
877 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
878 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
879 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
881 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
883 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
885 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
887 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
888 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
891 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
893 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
896 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
900 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
901 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
902 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
904 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
907 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
909 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
910 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
911 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
913 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
916 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
917 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
918 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
919 the new major version of Catalyst.
922 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
923 of Catalyst has been much improved.
925 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
928 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
929 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
930 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
932 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
934 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
935 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
936 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
938 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
941 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
942 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
943 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
945 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
946 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
950 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
951 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
953 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
954 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
955 developers without changing their application code.
957 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
960 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
961 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
962 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
963 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
964 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
966 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
967 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
969 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
971 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
975 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
976 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
977 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
978 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
979 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
980 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
981 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
983 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
984 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
985 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
986 class, please tell us *now*.
988 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
991 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
993 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
994 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
995 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
996 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
997 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
998 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1001 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1002 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1003 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1004 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1005 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1006 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1007 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1008 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1010 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1011 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1012 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1013 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1014 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1015 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1016 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1017 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1020 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1021 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1023 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1026 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1027 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1031 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1032 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1034 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1037 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1039 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1040 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1042 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1044 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1047 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1049 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1052 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1053 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1054 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1056 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1059 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1061 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1062 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1063 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1064 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1065 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1067 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1070 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1071 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1072 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1075 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1076 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1081 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1084 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1087 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1088 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1089 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1090 the default action creation.
1093 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1094 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1095 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1096 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1097 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1098 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1099 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1102 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1104 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1106 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1108 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1111 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1112 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1113 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1114 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1115 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1118 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1119 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1122 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1123 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1124 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1125 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1127 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1130 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1131 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1132 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1133 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1134 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1135 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1136 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1137 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1140 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1141 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1142 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1144 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1145 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1146 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1147 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1150 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1151 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1154 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1155 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1158 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1161 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1162 the content type and content length if available.
1164 Refactoring / optimizations:
1165 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1166 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1167 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1168 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1169 screen as easy to write.
1170 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1171 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1172 in parameter filtering (for example).
1173 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1174 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1175 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1176 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1177 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1180 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1181 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1182 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1183 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1185 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1188 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1189 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1191 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1194 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1195 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1197 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1200 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1201 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1202 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1203 which should not be encoded.
1204 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1205 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1207 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1208 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1209 any set of args/captures.
1211 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1212 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1214 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1218 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1220 - Various minor typo fixes.
1223 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1225 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1228 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1229 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1230 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1233 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1234 - Clarify documentation about debug
1237 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1238 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1239 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1241 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1244 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1245 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1249 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1250 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1252 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1253 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1254 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1255 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1256 argv key in the options hash.
1257 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1258 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1259 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1260 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1262 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1266 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1267 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1268 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1269 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1270 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1272 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1276 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1277 encoding test controller.
1279 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1281 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1282 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1284 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1286 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1287 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1288 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1289 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1290 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1292 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1296 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1297 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1298 less packed with information of no use.
1302 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1304 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1306 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1307 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1308 the single character '0'.
1309 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1312 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1313 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1314 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1316 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1318 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1319 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1320 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1321 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1322 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1323 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1324 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1325 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1326 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1327 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1328 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1329 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1331 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1332 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1334 Refactoring / cleanups:
1335 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1336 (and then skipped) normally.
1339 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1341 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1344 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1345 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1346 on the old behaviour.
1348 Refactoring / cleanups:
1349 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1350 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1352 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1355 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1356 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1357 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1358 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1359 as there is no recommended alternative.
1360 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1361 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1362 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1363 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1364 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1365 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1366 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1367 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1368 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1369 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1370 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1371 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1372 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1373 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1376 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1377 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1378 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1379 deprecated and causes warnings).
1380 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1381 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1382 in the correct order.
1383 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1385 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1386 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1387 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1390 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1391 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1392 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1393 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1394 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1396 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1397 exception classes need to implement.
1398 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1399 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1402 Refactoring / cleanups:
1403 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1404 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1405 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1406 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1407 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1408 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1409 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1411 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1414 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1415 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1416 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1417 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1419 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1420 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1421 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1424 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1425 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1428 Refactoring / cleanups:
1429 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1430 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1431 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1432 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1433 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1435 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1438 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1439 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1440 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1441 now loaded at most once + tests.
1442 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1443 is returned to 'actions'.
1444 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1445 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1447 Refactoring / cleanups:
1448 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1449 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1452 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1453 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1454 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1456 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1459 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1460 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1463 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1466 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1467 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1468 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1470 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1473 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1474 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1475 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1477 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1480 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1481 application class immutable without that option.
1482 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1483 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1485 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1486 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1487 (hopefully) future versions.
1488 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1489 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1490 variables (RT#48555)
1491 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1493 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1494 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1495 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1496 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1497 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1499 Refactoring / cleanups:
1500 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1501 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1502 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1503 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1504 known issues with 5.8.3.
1505 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1506 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1509 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1510 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1511 for the controller namespace
1512 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1513 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1514 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1515 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1516 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1517 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1519 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1520 frontend port (jshirley)
1521 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1525 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1526 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1527 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1528 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1531 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1534 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1535 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1536 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1538 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1539 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1540 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1541 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1542 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1543 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1547 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1548 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1549 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1552 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1555 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1556 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1558 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1559 in some environments.
1560 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1561 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1562 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1563 except works correctly with closures.
1564 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1565 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1566 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1567 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1568 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1569 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1570 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1573 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1574 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1575 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1576 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1577 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1578 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1580 Refactoring / cleanups:
1581 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1582 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1583 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1584 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1586 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1587 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1588 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1590 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1591 again in Catalyst::Test
1593 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1596 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1597 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1600 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1603 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1604 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1605 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1607 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1610 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1611 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1614 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1615 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1619 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1620 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1621 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1622 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1623 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1625 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1626 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1627 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1628 controller naming. (random)
1629 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1630 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1631 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1632 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1633 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1635 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1637 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1638 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1639 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1641 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1642 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1643 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1644 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1645 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1646 to report 'Unknown Error'
1647 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1648 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1649 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1650 parse_on_demand is on
1652 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1653 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1654 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1655 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1656 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1657 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1658 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1659 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1660 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1662 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1663 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1664 Test::Aggregate is available.
1665 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1666 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1667 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1668 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1669 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1670 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1671 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1672 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1673 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1674 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1675 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1676 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1677 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1678 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1679 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1680 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1681 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1682 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1683 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1685 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1686 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1687 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1688 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1689 configuration in your application.
1691 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1692 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1693 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1695 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1696 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1698 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1699 has been made private
1700 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1701 the request parameters with undef + test
1702 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1703 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1705 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1707 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1708 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1709 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1711 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1712 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1713 warning on recent Moose versions.
1714 - Add delta documentation
1715 - Clean up recursion errors
1716 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1717 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1719 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated

1725 tries to chain to itself
1727 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1728 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1729 - Tests for this (radek)
1730 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1731 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1732 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1733 - Tests for this (radek)
1734 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1735 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

1742 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1744 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1745 in production versions
1746 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1747 the correct metaclass
1748 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1749 the restarter process
1750 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1751 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1753 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1754 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1755 immutable restart correctly.

1774 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1775 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1776 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1777 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1779 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1780 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1781 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
