4 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)
5 - ensure catalyst.pl is included with dist
6 - drop IO::Scalar prereq
7 - include optional test prereqs as develop prereqs
8 - remove unused developer prereq on Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
9 - use namespace::clean consistently rather than namespace::autoclean
10 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
11 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
12 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
13 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
14 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
15 - POD typo and syntax fixes
18 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
21 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
22 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
23 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
24 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
25 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
27 - PR154 - Few dependencies
28 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
31 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
33 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
34 - documentation improvements (ether++)
35 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
36 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
38 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
39 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
42 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
43 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
44 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
46 - Tweaked travis CI script.
49 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
50 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
51 is a 'root' controller.
52 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
53 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
54 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
55 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
59 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
60 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
61 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
64 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
67 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
68 override many core method.
69 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
70 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
71 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
72 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
73 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
74 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
75 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
76 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
77 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
80 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
81 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
82 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
83 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
84 in some configurations.
87 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
88 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
89 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
90 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
91 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
92 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
93 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
94 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
95 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
96 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
97 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
100 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
101 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
102 improve reporting details.
103 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
104 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
107 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
108 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
109 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
110 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
111 which was introduced in the last release.
112 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
115 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
116 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
118 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
119 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
120 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
121 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
122 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
123 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
126 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
127 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
130 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
131 with type constraints.
132 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
133 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
134 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
135 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
136 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
137 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
140 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
141 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
143 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
144 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
145 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
146 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
149 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
150 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
151 to define behavior better.
154 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
156 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
157 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
158 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
159 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
162 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
163 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
164 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
165 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
166 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
167 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
168 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
169 - Merged Pull Requests:
170 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
171 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
172 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
173 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
174 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
175 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
178 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
179 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
182 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
183 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
184 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
185 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
186 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
187 that has proven to work for years.)
190 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
191 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
192 even though they were actually created).
195 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
196 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
197 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
198 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
199 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
201 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
202 - Added swanky github badges.
203 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
204 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
205 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
206 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
209 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
210 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
211 raise an error when registering its actions.
212 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
213 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
214 the injection and do custom injection types.
216 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
217 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
218 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
220 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
221 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
222 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
223 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
225 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
226 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
227 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
228 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
229 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
230 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
231 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
232 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
233 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
234 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
236 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
237 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
238 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
239 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
240 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
241 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
242 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
243 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
245 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
246 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
247 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
248 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
249 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
250 stand alone classes...).
251 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
252 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
253 report any stats related issues.
254 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
255 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
256 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
257 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
258 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
259 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
260 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
262 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
263 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
264 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
265 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
267 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
268 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
269 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
270 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
271 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
272 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
275 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
276 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
277 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
278 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
279 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
280 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
281 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
282 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
283 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
284 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
285 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
286 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
289 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
290 trying to create parameters twice.
291 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
292 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
293 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
294 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
295 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
296 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
297 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
298 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
299 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
300 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
301 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
304 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
305 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
306 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
307 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
308 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
309 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
312 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
313 to prevent it happening again.
316 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
317 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
318 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
319 test case to prevent regressions.
322 - Minor documentation corrections
323 - Make the '79 development series stable
325 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
326 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
327 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
328 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
329 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
331 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
332 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
333 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
334 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
335 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
336 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
337 changes introduced in v5.90080.
339 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
340 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
341 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
342 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
343 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
344 note posted a few months ago.
345 - Added my name to the contributors list
347 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
348 - Merged changes from 5.90078
349 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
350 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
351 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
352 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
353 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
354 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
355 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
356 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
357 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
358 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
359 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
361 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
362 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
363 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
365 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
366 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
367 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
368 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
369 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
370 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
371 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
372 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
373 has already been called (and headers already sent).
374 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
375 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
377 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
378 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
379 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
381 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
382 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
385 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
386 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
387 existing Plack conventions.
388 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
389 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
390 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
391 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
392 don't bubble back up to the main application.
393 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
394 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
395 I highly suggest you test this release.
396 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
397 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
398 correct if incorrect :)
399 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
400 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
401 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
402 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
403 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
404 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
405 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
406 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
407 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
409 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
410 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
411 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
413 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
414 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
415 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
416 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
420 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
422 - updated year in copyright notices
425 - POD corrections (sergey++)
426 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
427 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
428 trouble. (davewood++);
429 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
430 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
431 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
434 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
435 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
436 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
437 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
438 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
441 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
442 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
443 HTTP Exception middleware.
446 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
447 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
448 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
449 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
450 you really need to review this exploit.
453 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
456 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
457 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
458 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
459 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
461 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
464 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
465 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
466 so you can go to hunt it out.
469 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
470 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
471 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
472 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
473 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
474 - Added Italian translation of default error.
477 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
480 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
481 certain tests. No other changes.
484 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
485 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
486 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
488 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
490 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
492 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
496 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
497 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
498 questions or problems!
499 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
500 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
501 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
502 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
503 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
504 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
505 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
506 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
507 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
510 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
511 - documentation and test fixes
514 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
515 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
516 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
517 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
518 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
519 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
520 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
523 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
524 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
527 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
528 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
529 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
530 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
531 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
532 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
533 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
534 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
536 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
539 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
540 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
543 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
544 introduced by a change in December.
547 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
550 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
551 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
552 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
553 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
554 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
557 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
558 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
559 reported while installing.
560 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
561 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
562 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
563 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
564 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
565 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
566 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
567 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
568 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
569 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
570 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
571 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
572 - update copyright notices.
574 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
575 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
576 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
577 fails to install (sorry).
578 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
579 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
580 middleware deal with it.
582 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
583 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
584 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
585 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
586 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
587 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
588 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
589 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
590 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
592 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
593 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
594 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
595 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
596 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
597 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
598 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
599 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
600 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
601 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
603 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
604 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
605 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
606 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
610 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
611 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
612 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
613 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
614 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
615 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
619 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
620 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
621 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
623 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
624 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
625 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
627 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
628 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
629 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
630 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
632 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
633 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
634 - Various POD formatting fixed.
635 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
636 accept and issues that might arise.
639 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
640 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
643 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
644 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
645 for internal methods:
647 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
648 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
649 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
651 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
652 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
653 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
654 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
656 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
657 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
658 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
660 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
661 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
662 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
663 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
664 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
666 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
667 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
668 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
669 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
670 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
671 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
672 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
673 cases to reflect this change.
675 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
676 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
677 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
678 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
679 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
680 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
681 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
682 those keys already exist). Keys added:
683 - plack.request.query
685 - plack.request.merged
686 - plack.request.http.body
687 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
688 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
689 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
690 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
691 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
692 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
693 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
694 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
695 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
696 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
697 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
698 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
699 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
700 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
701 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
702 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
703 is a scalar or arrayref.
704 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
705 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
707 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
708 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
709 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
711 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
712 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
713 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
714 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
715 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
716 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
717 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
718 a development setup (ether++)
720 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
721 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
722 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
723 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
724 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
725 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
726 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
727 case t/data_handler.t
729 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
730 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
731 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
732 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
733 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
736 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
737 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
738 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
739 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
741 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
743 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
747 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
748 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
749 this fixes all of them.
750 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
751 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
752 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
753 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
755 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
758 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
759 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
760 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
761 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
762 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
763 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
764 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
766 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
767 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
768 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
769 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
770 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
771 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
773 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
774 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
775 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
776 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
777 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
778 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
779 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
780 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
782 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
785 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
786 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
787 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
788 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
789 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
790 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
792 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
793 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
794 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
795 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
796 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
797 - smarter validation around action attributes.
800 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
801 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
802 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
803 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
804 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
805 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
806 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
807 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
808 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
809 in behavior is compatible on its own.
810 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
811 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
812 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
813 - Some test and documentation improvements
815 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
816 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
817 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
818 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
821 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
822 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
825 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
826 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
828 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
829 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
831 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
833 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
834 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
836 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
838 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
839 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
840 of request or response classes.
842 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
843 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
844 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
845 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
846 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
847 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
848 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
849 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
850 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
851 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
853 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
854 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
855 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
856 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
857 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
859 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
861 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
862 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
864 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
866 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
867 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
868 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
871 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
874 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
877 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
878 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
880 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
883 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
886 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
888 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
890 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
892 Distribution META.yml changes:
893 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
894 mis-parses from the documentation.
895 - x_authority key added.
898 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
899 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
901 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
902 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
903 is less than helpful.
905 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
906 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
907 in bleadperl. RT#76437
909 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
910 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
913 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
914 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
916 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
917 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
918 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
920 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
923 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
924 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
925 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
926 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
927 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
928 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
930 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
932 - --background option for the server script now only closes
933 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
934 and other loggers which open a file handle when
935 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
936 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
937 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
940 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
943 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
944 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
945 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
946 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
948 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
951 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
954 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
955 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
956 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
957 included when not running from a checkout.
959 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
961 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
962 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
963 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
965 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
967 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
969 New features and refactoring:
970 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
971 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
972 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
974 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
975 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
976 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
979 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
980 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
981 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
983 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
985 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
986 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
987 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
988 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
989 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
990 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
992 Back compatibility fixes:
993 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
994 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
995 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
998 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1001 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1002 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1003 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1005 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1006 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1007 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1009 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1012 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1013 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1014 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1015 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1016 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1019 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1020 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1022 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1023 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1024 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1026 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1029 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1030 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1031 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1032 get them passed through to the application.
1035 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1036 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1037 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1038 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1041 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1042 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1043 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1044 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1046 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1047 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1048 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1050 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1051 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1053 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1057 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1058 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1059 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1060 whereas before you had to say:
1061 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1062 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1063 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1066 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1067 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1068 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1069 scripts in the application.
1070 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1071 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1072 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1077 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1079 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1080 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1081 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1082 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1083 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1084 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1085 and provide an alternative.
1087 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1091 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1092 MyApp->engine_class.
1094 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1097 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1099 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1100 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1101 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1102 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1103 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1104 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1108 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1109 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1111 Backward compatibility fixes:
1113 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1114 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1116 Documentation fixes:
1118 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1119 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1121 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1123 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1125 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1126 Backward compatibility fixes:
1128 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1129 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1131 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1133 Documentation fixes:
1135 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1136 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1137 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1139 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1141 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1142 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1144 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1146 Cut another release.
1148 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1150 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1152 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1154 Backward compatibility fixes:
1156 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1158 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1159 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1160 for backward compatibility.
1164 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1165 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1169 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1170 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1171 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1173 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1175 Backward compatibility fixes:
1177 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1178 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1182 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1183 been made immutable.
1185 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1186 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1187 example) Coro is loaded.
1189 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1190 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1192 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1193 using MooseX::Deamonize
1195 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1196 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1197 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1198 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1199 deployed in these environments.
1203 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1207 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1208 file for your application.
1210 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1214 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1215 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1217 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1220 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1221 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1223 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1225 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1226 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1228 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1229 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1231 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1232 was not breaking out correctly
1234 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1235 to also work in the $c->component method.
1237 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1238 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1239 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1241 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1243 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1245 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1247 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1248 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1251 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1253 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1256 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1257 not being installed.
1260 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1261 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1262 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1264 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1267 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1269 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1270 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1271 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1273 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1276 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1277 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1278 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1279 the new major version of Catalyst.
1282 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1283 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1285 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1288 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1289 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1290 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1292 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1294 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1295 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1296 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1298 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1299 in Catalyst::execute
1301 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1302 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1303 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1305 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1306 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1310 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1311 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1313 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1314 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1315 developers without changing their application code.
1317 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1320 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1321 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1322 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1323 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1324 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1326 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1327 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1329 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1331 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1335 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1336 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1337 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1338 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1339 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1340 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1341 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1343 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1344 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1345 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1346 class, please tell us *now*.
1348 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1351 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1353 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1354 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1355 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1356 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1357 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1358 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1361 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1362 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1363 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1364 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1365 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1366 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1367 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1368 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1370 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1371 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1372 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1373 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1374 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1375 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1376 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1377 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1380 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1381 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1383 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1386 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1387 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1391 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1392 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1394 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1397 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1399 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1400 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1402 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1404 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1407 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1409 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1412 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1413 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1414 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1416 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1419 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1421 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1422 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1423 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1424 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1425 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1427 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1430 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1431 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1432 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1435 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1436 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1441 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1444 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1447 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1448 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1449 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1450 the default action creation.
1453 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1454 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1455 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1456 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1457 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1458 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1459 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1462 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1464 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1466 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1468 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1471 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1472 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1473 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1474 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1475 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1478 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1479 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1482 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1483 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1484 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1485 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1487 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1490 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1491 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1492 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1493 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1494 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1495 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1496 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1497 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1500 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1501 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1502 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1504 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1505 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1506 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1507 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1510 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1511 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1514 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1515 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1518 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1521 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1522 the content type and content length if available.
1524 Refactoring / optimizations:
1525 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1526 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1527 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1528 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1529 screen as easy to write.
1530 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1531 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1532 in parameter filtering (for example).
1533 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1534 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1535 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1536 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1537 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1540 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1541 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1542 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1543 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1545 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1548 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1549 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1551 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1554 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1555 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1557 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1560 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1561 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1562 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1563 which should not be encoded.
1564 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1565 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1567 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1568 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1569 any set of args/captures.
1571 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1572 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1574 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1578 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1580 - Various minor typo fixes.
1583 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1585 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1588 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1589 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1590 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1593 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1594 - Clarify documentation about debug
1597 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1598 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1599 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1601 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1604 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1605 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1609 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1610 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1612 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1613 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1614 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1615 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1616 argv key in the options hash.
1617 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1618 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1619 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1620 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1622 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1626 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1627 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1628 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1629 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1630 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1632 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1636 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1637 encoding test controller.
1639 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1641 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1642 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1644 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1646 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1647 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1648 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1649 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1650 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1652 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1656 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1657 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1658 less packed with information of no use.
1662 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1664 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1666 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1667 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1668 the single character '0'.
1669 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1672 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1673 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1674 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1676 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1678 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1679 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1680 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1681 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1682 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1683 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1684 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1685 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1686 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1687 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1688 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1689 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1691 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1692 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1694 Refactoring / cleanups:
1695 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1696 (and then skipped) normally.
1699 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1701 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1704 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1705 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1706 on the old behaviour.
1708 Refactoring / cleanups:
1709 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1710 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1712 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1715 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1716 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1717 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1718 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1719 as there is no recommended alternative.
1720 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1721 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1722 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1723 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1724 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1725 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1726 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1727 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1728 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1729 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1730 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1731 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1732 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1733 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1736 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1737 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1738 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1739 deprecated and causes warnings).
1740 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1741 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1742 in the correct order.
1743 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1745 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1746 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1747 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1750 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1751 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1752 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1753 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1754 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1756 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1757 exception classes need to implement.
1758 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1759 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1762 Refactoring / cleanups:
1763 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1764 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1765 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1766 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1767 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1768 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1769 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1771 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1774 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1775 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1776 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1777 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1779 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1780 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1781 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1784 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1785 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1788 Refactoring / cleanups:
1789 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1790 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1791 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1792 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1793 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1795 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1798 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1799 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1800 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1801 now loaded at most once + tests.
1802 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1803 is returned to 'actions'.
1804 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1805 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1807 Refactoring / cleanups:
1808 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1809 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1812 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1813 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1814 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1816 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1819 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1820 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1823 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1826 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1827 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1828 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1830 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1833 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1834 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1835 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1837 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1840 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1841 application class immutable without that option.
1842 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1843 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1845 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1846 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1847 (hopefully) future versions.
1848 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1849 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1850 variables (RT#48555)
1851 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1853 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1854 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1855 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1856 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1857 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1859 Refactoring / cleanups:
1860 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1861 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1862 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1863 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1864 known issues with 5.8.3.
1865 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1866 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1869 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1870 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1871 for the controller namespace
1872 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1873 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1874 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1875 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1876 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1877 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1879 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1880 frontend port (jshirley)
1881 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1885 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1886 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1887 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1888 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1891 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1894 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1895 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1896 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1898 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1899 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1900 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1901 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1902 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1903 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1907 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1908 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1909 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1912 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1915 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1916 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1918 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1919 in some environments.
1920 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1921 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1922 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1923 except works correctly with closures.
1924 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1925 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1926 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1927 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1928 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1929 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1930 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1933 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1934 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1935 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1936 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1937 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1938 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1940 Refactoring / cleanups:
1941 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1942 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1943 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1944 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1946 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1947 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1948 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1950 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1951 again in Catalyst::Test
1953 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1956 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1957 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1960 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1963 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1964 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1965 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1967 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1970 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1971 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1974 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1975 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1979 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1980 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1981 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1982 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1983 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1985 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1986 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1987 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1988 controller naming. (random)
1989 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1990 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1991 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1992 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1993 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1995 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1998 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1999 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2001 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2002 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2003 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2004 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2005 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2006 to report 'Unknown Error'
2007 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2008 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2009 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2010 parse_on_demand is on
2012 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2013 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2014 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2015 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2016 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

2019 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2020 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2022 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2023 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2024 Test::Aggregate is available.
2025 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2026 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2027 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2028 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2029 disabling functionality from base controllers.

2031 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2032 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2038 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2039 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2040 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2041 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2042 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2043 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2046 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2047 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2048 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2049 configuration in your application.
2051 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2052 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2053 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2055 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2056 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2058 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2059 has been made private
2060 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2061 the request parameters with undef + test
2062 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2063 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2065 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2067 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2068 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2069 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2071 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2072 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2073 warning on recent Moose versions.
2074 - Add delta documentation
2075 - Clean up recursion errors
2076 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2077 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2079 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2080 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2082 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2083 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2084 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2085 tries to chain to itself
2087 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2088 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2089 - Tests for this (radek)
2090 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2091 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2092 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2093 - Tests for this (radek)
2094 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2095 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2096 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2097 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2099 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2100 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2102 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2104 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2105 in production versions
2106 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2107 the correct metaclass
2108 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2109 the restarter process
2110 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2111 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2113 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2114 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2115 immutable restart correctly.
2117 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2118 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2119 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2120 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

2128 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2129 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2130 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2131 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2132 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2133 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2134 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2135 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2136 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2137 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2139 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2140 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2141 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2144 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

2172 keep-alive requests.
2173 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2174 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2175 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2176 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2178 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2179 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2180 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
2181 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
2182 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
2183 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
2184 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
2185 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
2186 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
2187 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
2188 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
2189 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
2190 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
2191 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2192 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
2193 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
2194 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
2195 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
2196 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
2197 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2199 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2200 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2202 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2203 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
2204 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
2206 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
2207 test sync for engines easier
2208 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
2209 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
2211 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
2212 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
2213 rather than the stringified ref.
2214 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
2215 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
2216 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

2352 throw warnings for two reasons:
2353 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2354 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

2357 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2358 method with a regex as the argument
