3 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
6 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
7 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
9 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
12 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
13 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
15 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
18 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
19 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
20 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
21 which should not be encoded.
22 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
23 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
25 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
26 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
27 any set of args/captures.
29 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
30 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
32 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
36 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
38 - Various minor typo fixes.
41 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
43 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
46 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
47 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
48 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
51 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
52 - Clarify documentation about debug
55 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
56 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
57 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
59 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
62 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
63 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
67 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
68 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
70 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
71 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
72 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
73 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
74 argv key in the options hash.
75 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
76 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
77 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
78 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
80 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
84 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
85 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
86 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
87 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
88 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
90 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
94 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
95 encoding test controller.
97 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
99 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
100 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
101 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
102 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
104 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
105 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
106 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
107 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
108 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
110 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
114 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
115 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
116 less packed with information of no use.
120 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
122 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
124 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
125 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
126 the single character '0'.
127 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
130 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
131 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
132 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
134 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
136 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
137 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
138 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
139 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
140 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
141 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
142 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
143 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
144 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
145 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
146 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
147 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
149 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
150 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
152 Refactoring / cleanups:
153 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
154 (and then skipped) normally.
157 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
159 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
162 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
163 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
164 on the old behaviour.
166 Refactoring / cleanups:
167 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
168 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
170 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
173 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
174 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
175 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
176 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
177 as there is no recommended alternative.
178 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
179 fallback for fully qualified component names.
180 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
181 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
182 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
183 startup, rather than with the first hit.
184 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
185 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
186 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
187 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
188 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
189 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
190 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
191 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
194 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
195 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
196 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
197 deprecated and causes warnings).
198 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
199 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
200 in the correct order.
201 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
203 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
204 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
205 is deprecated (RT#51489)
208 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
209 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
210 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
211 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
212 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
214 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
215 exception classes need to implement.
216 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
217 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
220 Refactoring / cleanups:
221 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
222 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
223 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
224 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
225 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
226 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
227 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
229 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
232 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
233 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
234 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
235 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
237 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
238 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
239 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
242 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
243 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
246 Refactoring / cleanups:
247 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
248 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
249 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
250 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
251 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
253 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
256 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
257 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
258 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
259 now loaded at most once + tests.
260 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
261 is returned to 'actions'.
262 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
263 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
265 Refactoring / cleanups:
266 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
267 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
270 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
271 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
272 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
274 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
277 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
278 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
281 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
284 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
285 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
286 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
288 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
291 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
292 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
293 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
295 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
298 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
299 application class immutable without that option.
300 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
301 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
303 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
304 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
305 (hopefully) future versions.
306 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
307 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
309 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
311 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
312 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
313 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
314 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
315 Request-URI of the Request-Line
317 Refactoring / cleanups:
318 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
319 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
320 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
321 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
322 known issues with 5.8.3.
323 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
324 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
327 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
328 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
329 for the controller namespace
330 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
331 expand_component_module (rjbs)
332 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
333 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
334 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
335 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
337 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
338 frontend port (jshirley)
339 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
343 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
344 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
345 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
346 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
349 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
352 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
353 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
354 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
356 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
357 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
358 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
359 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
360 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
361 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
365 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
366 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
367 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
370 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
373 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
374 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
376 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
377 in some environments.
378 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
379 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
380 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
381 except works correctly with closures.
382 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
383 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
384 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
386 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
387 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
388 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
391 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
392 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
393 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
394 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
395 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
396 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
398 Refactoring / cleanups:
399 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
400 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
401 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
402 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
404 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
405 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
406 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
408 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
409 again in Catalyst::Test
411 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
414 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
415 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
418 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
421 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
422 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
423 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
425 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
428 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
429 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
432 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
433 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
437 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
438 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
439 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
440 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
441 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
443 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
444 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
445 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
446 controller naming. (random)
447 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
448 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
449 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
450 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
451 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
453 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
455 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
456 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
457 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
459 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
460 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
461 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
462 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
463 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
464 to report 'Unknown Error'
465 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
466 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
467 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
468 parse_on_demand is on
470 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
471 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
472 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
473 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
474 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
475 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
476 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
477 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
478 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
480 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
481 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
482 Test::Aggregate is available.
483 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
484 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
485 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
486 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
487 disabling functionality from base controllers.
488 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
489 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
490 incompatibility issues in some cases.
491 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
492 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
493 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
494 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
495 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
496 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
497 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
498 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
499 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
500 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
501 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
503 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
504 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
505 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
506 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
507 configuration in your application.
509 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
510 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
511 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
513 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
514 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
516 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
517 has been made private
518 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
519 the request parameters with undef + test
520 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
521 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
523 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
525 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
526 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
527 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
529 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
530 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
531 warning on recent Moose versions.
532 - Add delta documentation
533 - Clean up recursion errors
534 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
535 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
537 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
538 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
540 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
541 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
542 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
543 tries to chain to itself
545 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
546 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
547 - Tests for this (radek)
548 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
549 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
550 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
551 - Tests for this (radek)
552 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
553 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
554 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
555 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
557 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
558 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
560 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
562 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
563 in production versions
564 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
565 the correct metaclass
566 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
567 the restarter process
568 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
569 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
571 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
572 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
573 immutable restart correctly.
575 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
576 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
577 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
578 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
579 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
580 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
581 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
582 - namespace::clean related cleanups
583 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
584 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
585 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status

591 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
592 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
593 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
594 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
595 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
597 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
598 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
599 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

658 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
660 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
