1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
7 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
10 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
11 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
12 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
13 get them passed through to the application.
16 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
17 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
18 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
19 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
22 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
23 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
24 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
25 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
27 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
28 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
29 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
31 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
32 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
34 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
38 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
39 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
40 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
41 whereas before you had to say:
42 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
43 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
44 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
47 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
48 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
49 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
50 scripts in the application.
51 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
52 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
53 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
58 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
60 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
61 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
62 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
63 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
64 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
65 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
66 and provide an alternative.
68 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
72 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
75 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
78 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
80 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
81 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
82 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
83 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
84 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
85 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
89 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
90 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
92 Backward compatibility fixes:
94 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
95 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
99 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
100 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
102 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
104 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
106 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
107 Backward compatibility fixes:
109 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
110 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
112 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
116 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
117 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
118 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
120 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
122 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
123 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
125 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
129 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
131 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
133 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
135 Backward compatibility fixes:
137 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
139 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
140 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
141 for backward compatibility.
145 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
146 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
150 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
151 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
152 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
154 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
156 Backward compatibility fixes:
158 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
159 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
163 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
166 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
167 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
168 example) Coro is loaded.
170 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
171 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
173 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
174 using MooseX::Deamonize
176 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
177 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
178 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
179 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
180 deployed in these environments.
184 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
188 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
189 file for your application.
191 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
195 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
196 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
198 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
201 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
202 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
204 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
206 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
207 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
209 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
210 IO::Handle's behaviour.
212 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
213 was not breaking out correctly
215 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
216 to also work in the $c->component method.
218 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
219 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
220 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
222 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
224 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
226 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
228 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
229 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
232 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
234 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
237 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
241 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
242 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
243 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
245 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
248 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
250 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
251 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
252 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
254 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
257 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
258 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
259 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
260 the new major version of Catalyst.
263 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
264 of Catalyst has been much improved.
266 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
269 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
270 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
271 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
273 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
275 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
276 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
277 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
279 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
282 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
283 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
284 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
286 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
287 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
291 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
292 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
294 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
295 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
296 developers without changing their application code.
298 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
301 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
302 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
303 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
304 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
305 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
307 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
308 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
310 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
312 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
316 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
317 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
318 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
319 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
320 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
321 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
322 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
324 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
325 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
326 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
327 class, please tell us *now*.
329 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
332 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
334 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
335 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
336 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
337 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
338 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
339 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
342 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
343 the Content-Length header appropriately)
344 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
345 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
346 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
347 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
348 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
349 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
351 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
352 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
353 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
354 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
355 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
356 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
357 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
358 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
361 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
362 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
364 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
367 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
368 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
372 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
373 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
375 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
378 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
380 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
381 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
383 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
385 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
388 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
390 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
393 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
394 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
395 load Utils before MyApp.pm
397 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
400 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
402 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
403 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
404 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
405 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
406 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
408 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
411 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
412 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
413 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
416 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
417 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
422 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
425 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
428 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
429 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
430 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
431 the default action creation.
434 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
435 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
436 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
437 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
438 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
439 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
440 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
443 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
445 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
447 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
449 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
452 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
453 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
454 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
455 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
456 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
459 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
460 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
463 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
464 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
465 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
466 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
468 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
471 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
472 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
473 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
474 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
475 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
476 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
477 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
478 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
481 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
482 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
483 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
485 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
486 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
487 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
488 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
491 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
492 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
495 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
496 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
499 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
502 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
503 the content type and content length if available.
505 Refactoring / optimizations:
506 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
507 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
508 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
509 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
510 screen as easy to write.
511 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
512 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
513 in parameter filtering (for example).
514 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
515 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
516 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
517 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
518 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
521 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
522 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
523 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
524 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
526 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
529 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
530 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
532 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
535 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
536 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
538 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
541 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
542 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
543 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
544 which should not be encoded.
545 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
546 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
548 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
549 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
550 any set of args/captures.
552 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
553 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
555 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
559 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
561 - Various minor typo fixes.
564 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
566 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
569 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
570 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
571 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
574 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
575 - Clarify documentation about debug
578 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
579 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
580 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
582 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
585 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
586 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
590 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
591 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
593 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
594 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
595 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
596 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
597 argv key in the options hash.
598 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
599 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
600 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
601 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
603 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
607 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
608 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
609 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
610 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
611 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
613 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
617 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
618 encoding test controller.
620 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
622 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
623 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
625 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
627 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
628 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
629 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
630 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
631 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
633 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
637 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
638 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
639 less packed with information of no use.
643 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
645 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
647 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
648 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
649 the single character '0'.
650 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
653 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
654 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
655 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
657 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
659 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
660 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
661 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
662 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
663 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
664 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
665 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
666 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
667 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
668 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
669 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
670 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
672 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
673 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
675 Refactoring / cleanups:
676 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
677 (and then skipped) normally.
680 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
682 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
685 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
686 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
687 on the old behaviour.
689 Refactoring / cleanups:
690 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
691 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
693 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
696 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
697 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
698 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
699 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
700 as there is no recommended alternative.
701 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
702 fallback for fully qualified component names.
703 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
704 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
705 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
706 startup, rather than with the first hit.
707 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
708 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
709 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
710 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
711 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
712 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
713 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
714 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
717 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
718 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
719 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
720 deprecated and causes warnings).
721 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
722 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
723 in the correct order.
724 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
726 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
727 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
728 is deprecated (RT#51489)
731 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
732 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
733 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
734 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
735 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
737 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
738 exception classes need to implement.
739 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
740 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
743 Refactoring / cleanups:
744 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
745 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
746 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
747 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
748 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
749 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
750 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
752 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
755 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
756 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
757 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
758 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
760 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
761 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
762 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
765 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
766 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
769 Refactoring / cleanups:
770 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
771 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
772 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
773 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
774 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
776 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
779 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
780 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
781 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
782 now loaded at most once + tests.
783 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
784 is returned to 'actions'.
785 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
786 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
788 Refactoring / cleanups:
789 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
790 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
793 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
794 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
795 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
797 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
800 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
801 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
804 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
807 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
808 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
809 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
811 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
814 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
815 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
816 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
818 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
821 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
822 application class immutable without that option.
823 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
824 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
826 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
827 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
828 (hopefully) future versions.
829 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
830 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
832 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
834 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
835 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
836 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
837 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
838 Request-URI of the Request-Line
840 Refactoring / cleanups:
841 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
842 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
843 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
844 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
845 known issues with 5.8.3.
846 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
847 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
850 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
851 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
852 for the controller namespace
853 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
854 expand_component_module (rjbs)
855 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
856 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
857 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
858 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
860 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
861 frontend port (jshirley)
862 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
866 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
867 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
868 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
869 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
872 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
875 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
876 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
877 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
879 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
880 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
881 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
882 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
883 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
884 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
888 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
889 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
890 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
893 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
896 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
897 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
899 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
900 in some environments.
901 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
902 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
903 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
904 except works correctly with closures.
905 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
906 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
907 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
909 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
910 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
911 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
914 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
915 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
916 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
917 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
918 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
919 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
921 Refactoring / cleanups:
922 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
923 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
924 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
925 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
927 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
928 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
929 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
931 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
932 again in Catalyst::Test
934 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
937 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
938 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
941 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
944 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
945 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
946 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
948 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
951 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
952 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
955 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
956 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
960 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
961 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
962 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
963 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
964 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
966 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
967 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
968 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
969 controller naming. (random)
970 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
971 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
972 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
973 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
974 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
976 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
978 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
979 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
980 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
982 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
983 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
984 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
985 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
986 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
987 to report 'Unknown Error'
988 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
989 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
990 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
991 parse_on_demand is on
993 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
994 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
995 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
996 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
997 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
998 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1000 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1001 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1003 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1004 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1005 Test::Aggregate is available.
1006 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1007 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1008 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1009 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1010 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1019 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1020 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1021 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1022 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1023 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1024 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1027 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1028 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1029 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1030 configuration in your application.
1032 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1033 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1034 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1036 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1037 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1039 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1040 has been made private
1041 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1042 the request parameters with undef + test
1043 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1044 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1046 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1048 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1049 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1050 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1052 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1053 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1054 warning on recent Moose versions.
1055 - Add delta documentation
1056 - Clean up recursion errors
1057 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1058 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1060 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1061 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1063 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1064 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1065 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1066 tries to chain to itself
1068 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1069 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1070 - Tests for this (radek)
1071 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1072 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1073 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1074 - Tests for this (radek)
1075 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1076 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1077 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1078 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1080 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1081 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1083 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1085 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1086 in production versions
1087 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1088 the correct metaclass
1089 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1090 the restarter process
1091 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1092 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1094 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1095 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1096 immutable restart correctly.
1098 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1099 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1100 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1101 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

1109 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1110 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1111 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1112 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1113 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1114 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1115 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1116 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1117 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1118 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1120 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1121 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1122 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1125 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1126 - Add uri_with tests
1128 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1153 keep-alive requests.
1154 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1155 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1156 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1157 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1159 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1160 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1161 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1162 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1163 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1164 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1165 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1166 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1167 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1168 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1169 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1170 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1171 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1172 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1173 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1174 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1175 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1176 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1177 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1178 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1180 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1181 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1183 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1184 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1185 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1187 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1188 test sync for engines easier
1189 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1190 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1192 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1193 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1194 rather than the stringified ref.
1195 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1196 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1197 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1198 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1199 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1201 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1202 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1203 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1205 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1206 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1207 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1208 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1209 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler

1332 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1333 throw warnings for two reasons:
1334 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1335 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
