1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
5 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
6 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
7 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
8 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
9 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
11 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions
12 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger
13 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout
14 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
15 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN
18 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
19 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
20 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
21 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
22 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
23 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
24 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
25 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
26 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
27 in behavior is compatible on its own.
28 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
29 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
30 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
31 - Some test and documentation improvements
33 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
34 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
35 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
36 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
39 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
40 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
43 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
44 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
46 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
47 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
49 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
51 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
52 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
54 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
56 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
57 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
58 of request or response classes.
60 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
61 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
62 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
63 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
64 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
65 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
66 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
67 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
68 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
69 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
71 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
72 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
73 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
74 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
75 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
77 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
79 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
80 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
82 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
84 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
85 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
86 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
89 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
92 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
95 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
96 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
98 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
101 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
104 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
106 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
108 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
110 Distribution META.yml changes:
111 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
112 mis-parses from the documentation.
113 - x_authority key added.
116 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
117 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
119 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
120 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
121 is less than helpful.
123 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
124 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
125 in bleadperl. RT#76437
127 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
128 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
131 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
132 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
134 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
135 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
136 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
138 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
141 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
142 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
143 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
144 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
145 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
146 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
148 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
150 - --background option for the server script now only closes
151 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
152 and other loggers which open a file handle when
153 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
154 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
155 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
158 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
161 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
162 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
163 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
164 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
166 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
169 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
172 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
173 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
174 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
175 included when not running from a checkout.
177 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
179 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
180 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
181 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
183 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
185 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
187 New features and refactoring:
188 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
189 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
190 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
192 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
193 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
194 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
197 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
198 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
199 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
201 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
203 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
204 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
205 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
206 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
207 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
208 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
210 Back compatibility fixes:
211 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
212 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
213 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
216 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
219 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
220 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
221 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
223 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
224 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
225 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
227 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
230 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
231 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
232 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
233 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
234 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
237 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
238 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
240 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
241 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
242 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
244 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
247 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
248 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
249 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
250 get them passed through to the application.
253 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
254 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
255 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
256 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
259 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
260 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
261 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
262 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
264 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
265 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
266 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
268 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
269 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
271 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
275 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
276 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
277 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
278 whereas before you had to say:
279 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
280 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
281 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
284 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
285 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
286 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
287 scripts in the application.
288 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
289 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
290 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
295 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
297 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
298 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
299 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
300 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
301 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
302 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
303 and provide an alternative.
305 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
309 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
312 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
315 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
317 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
318 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
319 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
320 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
321 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
322 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
326 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
327 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
329 Backward compatibility fixes:
331 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
332 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
336 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
337 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
339 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
341 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
343 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
344 Backward compatibility fixes:
346 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
347 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
349 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
353 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
354 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
355 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
357 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
359 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
360 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
362 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
366 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
368 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
370 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
372 Backward compatibility fixes:
374 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
376 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
377 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
378 for backward compatibility.
382 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
383 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
387 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
388 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
389 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
391 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
393 Backward compatibility fixes:
395 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
396 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
400 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
403 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
404 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
405 example) Coro is loaded.
407 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
408 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
410 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
411 using MooseX::Deamonize
413 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
414 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
415 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
416 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
417 deployed in these environments.
421 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
425 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
426 file for your application.
428 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
432 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
433 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
435 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
438 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
439 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
441 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
443 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
444 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
446 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
447 IO::Handle's behaviour.
449 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
450 was not breaking out correctly
452 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
453 to also work in the $c->component method.
455 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
456 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
457 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
459 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
461 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
463 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
465 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
466 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
469 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
471 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
474 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
478 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
479 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
480 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
482 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
485 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
487 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
488 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
489 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
491 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
494 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
495 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
496 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
497 the new major version of Catalyst.
500 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
501 of Catalyst has been much improved.
503 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
506 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
507 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
508 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
510 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
512 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
513 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
514 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
516 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
519 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
520 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
521 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
523 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
524 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
528 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
529 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
531 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
532 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
533 developers without changing their application code.
535 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
538 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
539 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
540 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
541 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
542 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
544 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
545 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
547 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
549 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
553 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
554 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
555 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
556 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
557 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
558 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
559 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
561 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
562 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
563 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
564 class, please tell us *now*.
566 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
569 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
571 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
572 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
573 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
574 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
575 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
576 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
579 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
580 the Content-Length header appropriately)
581 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
582 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
583 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
584 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
585 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
586 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
588 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
589 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
590 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
591 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
592 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
593 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
594 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
595 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
598 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
599 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
601 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
604 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
605 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
609 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
610 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
612 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
615 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
617 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
618 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
620 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
622 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
625 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
627 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
630 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
631 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
632 load Utils before MyApp.pm
634 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
637 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
639 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
640 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
641 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
642 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
643 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
645 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
648 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
649 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
650 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
653 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
654 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
659 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
662 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
665 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
666 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
667 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
668 the default action creation.
671 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
672 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
673 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
674 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
675 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
676 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
677 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
680 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
682 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
684 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
686 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
689 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
690 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
691 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
692 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
693 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
696 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
697 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
700 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
701 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
702 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
703 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
705 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
708 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
709 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
710 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
711 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
712 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
713 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
714 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
715 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
718 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
719 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
720 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
722 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
723 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
724 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
725 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
728 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
729 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
732 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
733 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
736 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
739 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
740 the content type and content length if available.
742 Refactoring / optimizations:
743 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
744 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
745 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
746 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
747 screen as easy to write.
748 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
749 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
750 in parameter filtering (for example).
751 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
752 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
753 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
754 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
755 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
758 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
759 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
760 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
761 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
763 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
766 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
767 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
769 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
772 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
773 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
775 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
778 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
779 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
780 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
781 which should not be encoded.
782 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
783 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
785 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
786 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
787 any set of args/captures.
789 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
790 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
792 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
796 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
798 - Various minor typo fixes.
801 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
803 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
806 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
807 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
808 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
811 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
812 - Clarify documentation about debug
815 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
816 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
817 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
819 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
822 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
823 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
827 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
828 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
830 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
831 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
832 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
833 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
834 argv key in the options hash.
835 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
836 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
837 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
838 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
840 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
844 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
845 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
846 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
847 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
848 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
850 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
854 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
855 encoding test controller.
857 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
859 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
860 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
861 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
862 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
864 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
865 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
866 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
867 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
868 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
870 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
874 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
875 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
876 less packed with information of no use.
880 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
882 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
884 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
885 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
886 the single character '0'.
887 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
890 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
891 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
892 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
894 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
896 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
897 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
898 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
899 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
900 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
901 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
902 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
903 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
904 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
905 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
906 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
907 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
909 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
910 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
912 Refactoring / cleanups:
913 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
914 (and then skipped) normally.
917 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
919 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
922 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
923 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
924 on the old behaviour.
926 Refactoring / cleanups:
927 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
928 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
930 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
933 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
934 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
935 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
936 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
937 as there is no recommended alternative.
938 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
939 fallback for fully qualified component names.
940 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
941 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
942 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
943 startup, rather than with the first hit.
944 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
945 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
946 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
947 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
948 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
949 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
950 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
951 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
954 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
955 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
956 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
957 deprecated and causes warnings).
958 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
959 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
960 in the correct order.
961 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
963 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
964 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
965 is deprecated (RT#51489)
968 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
969 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
970 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
971 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
972 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
974 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
975 exception classes need to implement.
976 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
977 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
980 Refactoring / cleanups:
981 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
982 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
983 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
984 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
985 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
986 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
987 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
989 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
992 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
993 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
994 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
995 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
997 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
998 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
999 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1002 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1003 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1006 Refactoring / cleanups:
1007 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1008 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1009 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1010 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1011 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1013 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1016 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1017 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1018 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1019 now loaded at most once + tests.
1020 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1021 is returned to 'actions'.
1022 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1023 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1025 Refactoring / cleanups:
1026 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1027 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1030 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1031 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1032 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1034 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1037 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1038 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1041 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1044 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1045 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1046 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1048 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1051 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1052 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1053 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1055 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1058 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1059 application class immutable without that option.
1060 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1061 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1063 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1064 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1065 (hopefully) future versions.
1066 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1067 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1068 variables (RT#48555)
1069 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1071 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1072 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1073 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1074 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1075 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1077 Refactoring / cleanups:
1078 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1079 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1080 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1081 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1082 known issues with 5.8.3.
1083 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1084 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1087 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1088 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1089 for the controller namespace
1090 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1091 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1092 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1093 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1094 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1095 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1097 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1098 frontend port (jshirley)
1099 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1103 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1104 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1105 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1106 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1109 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1112 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1113 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1114 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1116 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1117 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1118 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1119 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1120 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1121 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1125 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1126 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1127 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1130 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1133 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1134 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1136 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1137 in some environments.
1138 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1139 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1140 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1141 except works correctly with closures.
1142 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1143 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1144 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1145 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1146 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1147 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1148 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1151 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1152 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1153 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1154 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1155 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1156 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1158 Refactoring / cleanups:
1159 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1160 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1161 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1162 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1164 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1165 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1166 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1168 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1169 again in Catalyst::Test
1171 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1174 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1175 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1178 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1181 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1182 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1183 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1185 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1188 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1189 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1192 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1193 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1197 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1198 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1199 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1200 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1201 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1203 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1204 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1205 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1206 controller naming. (random)
1207 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1208 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1209 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1210 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1211 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1213 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1215 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1216 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1217 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1219 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1220 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1221 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1222 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1223 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1224 to report 'Unknown Error'
1225 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1226 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1227 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1228 parse_on_demand is on
1230 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1231 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1232 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1233 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1234 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

1237 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1238 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1240 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1241 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1242 Test::Aggregate is available.
1243 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1244 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1245 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1246 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1247 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1258 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1259 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1260 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1261 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1264 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1265 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1266 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1267 configuration in your application.
1269 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1270 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1271 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1273 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1274 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

1294 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1295 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1297 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1298 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1300 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1301 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1302 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1303 tries to chain to itself
1305 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1306 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1307 - Tests for this (radek)
1308 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1309 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1310 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1311 - Tests for this (radek)
1312 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect

1314 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1315 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1317 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1318 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1320 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1322 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1323 in production versions
1324 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1325 the correct metaclass
1326 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1327 the restarter process
1328 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1329 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1331 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1332 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1333 immutable restart correctly.
1335 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1336 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1348 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1349 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1350 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1351 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1352 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1353 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1354 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1355 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1357 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1358 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1359 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1362 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1363 - Add uri_with tests

1392 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1393 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1394 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1396 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1397 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1398 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1409 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1410 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1415 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1417 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1418 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1420 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1421 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1422 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1424 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1425 test sync for engines easier
1426 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1427 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1446 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1447 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1448 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1570 throw warnings for two reasons:
1571 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1572 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1619 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1620 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
