3 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
5 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
6 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
7 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
8 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
9 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
10 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
11 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
12 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
13 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
14 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
15 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
16 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
18 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
19 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
21 Refactoring / cleanups:
22 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
23 (and then skipped) normally.
26 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
28 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
31 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
32 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
35 Refactoring / cleanups:
36 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
37 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
39 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
42 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
43 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
44 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
45 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
46 as there is no recommended alternative.
47 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
48 fallback for fully qualified component names.
49 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
50 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
51 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
52 startup, rather than with the first hit.
53 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
54 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
55 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
56 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
57 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
58 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
59 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
60 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
63 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
64 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
65 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
66 deprecated and causes warnings).
67 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
68 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
70 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
72 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
73 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
74 is deprecated (RT#51489)
77 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
78 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
79 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
80 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
81 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
83 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
84 exception classes need to implement.
85 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
86 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
89 Refactoring / cleanups:
90 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
91 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
92 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
93 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
94 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
95 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
96 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
98 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
101 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
102 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
103 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
104 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
106 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
107 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
108 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
111 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
112 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
115 Refactoring / cleanups:
116 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
117 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
118 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
119 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
120 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
122 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
125 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
126 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
127 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
128 now loaded at most once + tests.
129 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
130 is returned to 'actions'.
131 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
132 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
134 Refactoring / cleanups:
135 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
136 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
139 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
140 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
141 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
143 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
146 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
147 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
150 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
153 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
154 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
155 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
157 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
160 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
161 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
162 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
164 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
167 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
168 application class immutable without that option.
169 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
170 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
172 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
173 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
174 (hopefully) future versions.
175 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
176 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
178 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
180 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
181 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
182 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
183 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
184 Request-URI of the Request-Line
186 Refactoring / cleanups:
187 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
188 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
189 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
190 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
191 known issues with 5.8.3.
192 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
193 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
196 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
197 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
198 for the controller namespace
199 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
200 expand_component_module (rjbs)
201 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
202 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
203 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
204 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
206 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
207 frontend port (jshirley)
208 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
212 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
213 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
214 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
215 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
218 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
221 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
222 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
223 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
225 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
226 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
227 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
228 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
229 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
230 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
234 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
235 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
236 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
239 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
242 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
243 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
245 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
246 in some environments.
247 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
248 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
249 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
250 except works correctly with closures.
251 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
252 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
253 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
255 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
256 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
257 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
260 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
261 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
262 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
263 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
264 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
265 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
267 Refactoring / cleanups:
268 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
269 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
270 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
271 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
273 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
274 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
275 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
277 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
278 again in Catalyst::Test
280 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
283 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
284 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
287 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
290 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
291 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
292 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
294 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
297 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
298 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
301 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
302 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
306 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
307 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
308 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
309 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
310 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
312 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
313 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
314 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
315 controller naming. (random)
316 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
317 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
318 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
319 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
320 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
322 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
324 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
325 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
326 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
328 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
329 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
330 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
331 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
332 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
333 to report 'Unknown Error'
334 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
335 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
336 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
337 parse_on_demand is on
339 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
340 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
341 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.

345 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
346 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
347 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
349 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
350 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
351 Test::Aggregate is available.
352 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
353 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
354 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
355 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
356 disabling functionality from base controllers.
357 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
358 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
359 incompatibility issues in some cases.

364 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
365 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
366 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
367 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
368 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
369 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
370 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
372 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
373 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
374 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
375 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
376 configuration in your application.
378 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
379 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
380 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
382 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
383 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
385 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
386 has been made private
387 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
388 the request parameters with undef + test
389 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
390 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
392 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
394 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
395 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
396 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
398 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
399 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
400 warning on recent Moose versions.
401 - Add delta documentation
402 - Clean up recursion errors
403 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
404 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
406 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
407 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
409 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
410 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
411 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
412 tries to chain to itself
414 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
415 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
416 - Tests for this (radek)
417 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
418 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
419 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
420 - Tests for this (radek)
421 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
422 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
423 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
424 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
426 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
427 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
429 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
431 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
432 in production versions
433 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
434 the correct metaclass
435 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
436 the restarter process
437 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
438 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
440 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
441 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
442 immutable restart correctly.
444 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
445 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
446 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
447 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
448 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test

456 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
457 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
458 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
459 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
460 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
461 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
462 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
463 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
464 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
466 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
467 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
468 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
471 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
474 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
475 - Disallow writing to config after setup

500 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
501 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
502 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
503 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
505 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
506 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
507 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
508 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
509 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
510 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
511 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
512 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
513 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
514 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
515 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
516 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
517 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
519 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
520 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
521 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
522 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
523 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
524 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
526 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
527 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
529 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
530 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
531 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
533 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
534 test sync for engines easier
535 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
536 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
538 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
539 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
540 rather than the stringified ref.
541 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
542 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
543 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
544 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
545 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
547 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
548 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
549 die, as it didn't in 5.70
551 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
552 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
553 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
554 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
555 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
556 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
557 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
558 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
559 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
560 the key from the instance hash
561 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
562 trivial delegation methods
563 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
564 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
