1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
5 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
6 the single character '0'.
9 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
10 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
11 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
13 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
15 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
16 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
17 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
18 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
19 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
20 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
21 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
22 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
23 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
24 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
25 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
26 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
28 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
29 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
31 Refactoring / cleanups:
32 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
33 (and then skipped) normally.
36 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
38 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
41 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
42 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
45 Refactoring / cleanups:
46 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
47 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
49 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
52 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
53 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
54 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
55 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
56 as there is no recommended alternative.
57 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
58 fallback for fully qualified component names.
59 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
60 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
61 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
62 startup, rather than with the first hit.
63 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
64 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
65 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
66 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
67 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
68 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
69 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
70 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
73 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
74 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
75 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
76 deprecated and causes warnings).
77 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
78 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
80 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
82 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
83 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
84 is deprecated (RT#51489)
87 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
88 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
89 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
90 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
91 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
93 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
94 exception classes need to implement.
95 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
96 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
99 Refactoring / cleanups:
100 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
101 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
102 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
103 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
104 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
105 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
106 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
108 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
111 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
112 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
113 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
114 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
116 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
117 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
118 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
121 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
122 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
125 Refactoring / cleanups:
126 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
127 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
128 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
129 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
130 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
132 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
135 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
136 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
137 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
138 now loaded at most once + tests.
139 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
140 is returned to 'actions'.
141 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
142 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
144 Refactoring / cleanups:
145 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
146 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
149 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
150 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
151 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
153 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
156 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
157 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
160 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
163 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
164 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
165 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
167 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
170 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
171 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
172 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
174 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
177 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
178 application class immutable without that option.
179 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
180 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
182 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
183 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
184 (hopefully) future versions.
185 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
186 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
188 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
190 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
191 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
192 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
193 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
194 Request-URI of the Request-Line
196 Refactoring / cleanups:
197 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
198 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
199 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
200 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
201 known issues with 5.8.3.
202 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
203 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
206 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
207 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
208 for the controller namespace
209 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
210 expand_component_module (rjbs)
211 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
212 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
213 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
214 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
216 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
217 frontend port (jshirley)
218 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
222 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
223 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
224 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
225 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
228 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
231 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
232 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
233 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
235 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
236 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
237 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
238 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
239 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
240 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
244 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
245 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
246 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
249 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
252 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
253 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
255 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
256 in some environments.
257 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
258 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
259 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
260 except works correctly with closures.
261 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
262 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
263 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
265 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
266 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
267 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
270 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
271 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
272 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
273 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
274 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
275 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
277 Refactoring / cleanups:
278 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
279 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
280 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
281 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
283 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
284 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
285 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
287 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
288 again in Catalyst::Test
290 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
293 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
294 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
297 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
300 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
301 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
302 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
304 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
307 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
308 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
311 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
312 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
316 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
317 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
318 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
319 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
320 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
322 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
323 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
324 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
325 controller naming. (random)
326 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
327 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
328 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
329 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
330 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
332 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
334 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
335 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
336 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
338 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
339 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
340 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
341 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
342 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
343 to report 'Unknown Error'
344 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
345 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
346 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
347 parse_on_demand is on

356 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
357 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
359 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
360 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
361 Test::Aggregate is available.
362 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
363 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
364 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
365 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
366 disabling functionality from base controllers.

374 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
375 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
376 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
377 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
378 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
379 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
380 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
382 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
383 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
384 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
385 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
386 configuration in your application.
388 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
389 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
390 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
392 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
393 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
395 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
396 has been made private
397 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
398 the request parameters with undef + test
399 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
400 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
402 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
404 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
405 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
406 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
408 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
409 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
410 warning on recent Moose versions.
411 - Add delta documentation
412 - Clean up recursion errors
413 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
414 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
416 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
417 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
419 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
420 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
421 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
422 tries to chain to itself
424 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
425 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
426 - Tests for this (radek)
427 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
428 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
429 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
430 - Tests for this (radek)
431 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
432 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
433 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
434 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
436 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
437 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
439 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
441 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
442 in production versions
443 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
444 the correct metaclass
445 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
446 the restarter process
447 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
448 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
450 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
451 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
452 immutable restart correctly.
454 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
455 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
456 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
457 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
458 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test

466 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
467 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
468 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
469 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
470 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
471 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
472 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
473 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
474 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
476 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
477 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
478 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
481 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
484 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
485 - Disallow writing to config after setup

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