1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
4 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
6 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
8 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
9 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
10 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
13 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
16 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
19 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
20 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
22 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
25 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
28 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
30 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
32 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
34 Distribution META.yml changes:
35 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
36 mis-parses from the documentation.
37 - x_authority key added.
40 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
41 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
43 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
44 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
47 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
48 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
49 in bleadperl. RT#76437
51 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
52 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
55 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
56 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
58 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
59 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
60 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
62 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
65 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
66 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
67 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
68 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
69 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
70 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
72 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
74 - --background option for the server script now only closes
75 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
76 and other loggers which open a file handle when
77 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
78 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
79 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
82 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
85 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
86 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
87 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
88 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
90 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
93 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
96 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
97 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
98 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
99 included when not running from a checkout.
101 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
103 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
104 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
105 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
107 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
109 New features and refactoring:
110 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
111 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
112 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
114 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
115 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
116 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
119 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
120 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
121 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
123 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
125 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
126 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
127 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
128 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
129 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
130 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
132 Back compatibility fixes:
133 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
134 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
135 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
138 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
141 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
142 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
143 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
145 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
146 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
147 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
149 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
152 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
153 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
154 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
155 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
156 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
159 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
160 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
162 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
163 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
164 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
166 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
169 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
170 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
171 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
172 get them passed through to the application.
175 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
176 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
177 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
178 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
181 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
182 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
183 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
184 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
186 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
187 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
188 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
190 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
191 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
193 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
197 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
198 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
199 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
200 whereas before you had to say:
201 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
202 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
203 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
206 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
207 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
208 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
209 scripts in the application.
210 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
211 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
212 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
217 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
219 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
220 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
221 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
222 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
223 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
224 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
225 and provide an alternative.
227 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
231 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
234 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
237 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
239 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
240 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
241 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
242 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
243 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
244 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
248 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
249 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
251 Backward compatibility fixes:
253 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
254 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
258 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
259 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
261 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
263 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
265 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
266 Backward compatibility fixes:
268 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
269 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
271 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
275 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
276 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
277 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
279 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
281 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
282 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
284 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
288 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
290 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
292 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
294 Backward compatibility fixes:
296 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
298 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
299 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
300 for backward compatibility.
304 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
305 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
309 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
310 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
311 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
313 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
315 Backward compatibility fixes:
317 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
318 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
322 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
325 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
326 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
327 example) Coro is loaded.
329 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
330 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
332 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
333 using MooseX::Deamonize
335 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
336 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
337 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
338 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
339 deployed in these environments.
343 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
347 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
348 file for your application.
350 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
354 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
355 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
357 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
360 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
361 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
363 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
365 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
366 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
368 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
369 IO::Handle's behaviour.
371 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
372 was not breaking out correctly
374 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
375 to also work in the $c->component method.
377 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
378 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
379 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
381 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
383 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
385 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
387 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
388 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
391 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
393 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
396 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
400 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
401 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
402 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
404 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
407 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
409 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
410 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
411 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
413 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
416 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
417 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
418 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
419 the new major version of Catalyst.
422 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
423 of Catalyst has been much improved.
425 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
428 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
429 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
430 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
432 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
434 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
435 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
436 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
438 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
441 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
442 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
443 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
445 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
446 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
450 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
451 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
453 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
454 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
455 developers without changing their application code.
457 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
460 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
461 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
462 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
463 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
464 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
466 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
467 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
469 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
471 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
475 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
476 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
477 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
478 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
479 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
480 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
481 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
483 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
484 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
485 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
486 class, please tell us *now*.
488 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
491 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
493 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
494 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
495 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
496 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
497 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
498 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
501 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
502 the Content-Length header appropriately)
503 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
504 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
505 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
506 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
507 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
508 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
510 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
511 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
512 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
513 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
514 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
515 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
516 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
517 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
520 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
521 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
523 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
526 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
527 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
531 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
532 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
534 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
537 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
539 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
540 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
542 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
544 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
547 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
549 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
552 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
553 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
554 load Utils before MyApp.pm
556 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
559 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
561 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
562 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
563 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
564 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
565 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
567 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
570 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
571 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
572 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
575 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
576 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
581 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
584 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
587 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
588 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
589 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
590 the default action creation.
593 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
594 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
595 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
596 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
597 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
598 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
599 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
602 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
604 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
606 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
608 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
611 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
612 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
613 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
614 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
615 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
618 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
619 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
622 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
623 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
624 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
625 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
627 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
630 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
631 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
632 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
633 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
634 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
635 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
636 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
637 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
640 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
641 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
642 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
644 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
645 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
646 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
647 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
650 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
651 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
654 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
655 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
658 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
661 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
662 the content type and content length if available.
664 Refactoring / optimizations:
665 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
666 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
667 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
668 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
669 screen as easy to write.
670 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
671 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
672 in parameter filtering (for example).
673 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
674 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
675 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
676 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
677 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
680 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
681 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
682 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
683 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
685 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
688 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
689 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
691 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
694 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
695 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
697 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
700 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
701 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
702 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
703 which should not be encoded.
704 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
705 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
707 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
708 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
709 any set of args/captures.
711 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
712 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
714 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
718 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
720 - Various minor typo fixes.
723 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
725 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
728 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
729 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
730 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
733 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
734 - Clarify documentation about debug
737 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
738 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
739 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
741 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
744 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
745 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
749 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
750 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
752 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
753 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
754 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
755 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
756 argv key in the options hash.
757 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
758 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
759 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
760 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
762 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
766 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
767 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
768 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
769 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
770 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
772 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
776 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
777 encoding test controller.
779 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
781 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
782 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
783 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
784 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
786 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
787 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
788 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
789 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
790 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
792 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
796 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
797 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
798 less packed with information of no use.
802 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
804 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
806 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
807 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
808 the single character '0'.
809 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
812 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
813 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
814 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
816 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
818 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
819 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
820 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
821 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
822 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
823 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
824 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
825 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
826 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
827 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
828 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
829 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
831 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
832 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
834 Refactoring / cleanups:
835 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
836 (and then skipped) normally.
839 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
841 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
844 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
845 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
846 on the old behaviour.
848 Refactoring / cleanups:
849 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
850 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
852 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
855 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
856 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
857 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
858 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
859 as there is no recommended alternative.
860 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
861 fallback for fully qualified component names.
862 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
863 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
864 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
865 startup, rather than with the first hit.
866 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
867 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
868 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
869 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
870 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
871 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
872 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
873 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
876 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
877 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
878 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
879 deprecated and causes warnings).
880 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
881 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
882 in the correct order.
883 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
885 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
886 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
887 is deprecated (RT#51489)
890 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
891 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
892 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
893 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
894 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
896 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
897 exception classes need to implement.
898 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
899 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
902 Refactoring / cleanups:
903 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
904 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
905 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
906 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
907 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
908 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
909 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
911 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
914 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
915 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
916 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
917 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
919 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
920 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
921 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
924 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
925 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
928 Refactoring / cleanups:
929 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
930 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
931 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
932 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
933 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
935 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
938 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
939 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
940 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
941 now loaded at most once + tests.
942 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
943 is returned to 'actions'.
944 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
945 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
947 Refactoring / cleanups:
948 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
949 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
952 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
953 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
954 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
956 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
959 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
960 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
963 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
966 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
967 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
968 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
970 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
973 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
974 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
975 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
977 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
980 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
981 application class immutable without that option.
982 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
983 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
985 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
986 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
987 (hopefully) future versions.
988 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
989 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
991 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
993 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
994 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
995 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
996 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
997 Request-URI of the Request-Line
999 Refactoring / cleanups:
1000 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1001 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1002 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1003 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1004 known issues with 5.8.3.
1005 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1006 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1009 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1010 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1011 for the controller namespace
1012 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1013 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1014 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1015 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1016 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1017 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1019 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1020 frontend port (jshirley)
1021 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1025 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1026 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1027 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1028 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1031 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1034 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1035 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1036 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1038 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1039 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1040 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1041 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1042 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1043 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1047 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1048 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1049 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1052 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1055 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1056 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1058 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1059 in some environments.
1060 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1061 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1062 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1063 except works correctly with closures.
1064 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1065 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1066 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1067 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1068 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1069 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1070 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1073 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1074 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1075 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1076 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1077 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1078 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1080 Refactoring / cleanups:
1081 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1082 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1083 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1084 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1086 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1087 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1088 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1090 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1091 again in Catalyst::Test
1093 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1096 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1097 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1100 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1103 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1104 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1105 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1107 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1110 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1111 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1114 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1115 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1119 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1120 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1121 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1122 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1123 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1125 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1126 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1127 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1128 controller naming. (random)
1129 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1130 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1131 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1132 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1133 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1135 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1137 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1138 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1139 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1141 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1142 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1143 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1144 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1145 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1146 to report 'Unknown Error'
1147 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1148 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1149 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1150 parse_on_demand is on
1152 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1153 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1154 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1155 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1156 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1157 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1158 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1159 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1160 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1162 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1163 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1164 Test::Aggregate is available.
1165 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1166 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1167 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1168 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1169 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1170 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1171 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1172 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1173 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1174 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1175 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1176 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1177 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1178 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1179 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1180 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1181 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1182 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1183 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1186 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1187 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1188 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1189 configuration in your application.
1191 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1192 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1193 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1195 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1196 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1198 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1199 has been made private
1200 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1201 the request parameters with undef + test
1202 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1203 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1205 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1207 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1208 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1209 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1211 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1212 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1213 warning on recent Moose versions.
1214 - Add delta documentation
1215 - Clean up recursion errors
1216 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1217 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1219 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1220 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1222 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1223 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1224 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1225 tries to chain to itself
1227 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1228 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1229 - Tests for this (radek)
1230 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1231 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1232 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly

1244 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1245 in production versions
1246 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1247 the correct metaclass
1248 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1249 the restarter process
1250 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1251 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1253 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1254 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

1274 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1275 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1276 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1277 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1279 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1280 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
